Why do people preach semen retention so much?

I’m pretty sure everyone knows what they like physically.

   It takes a certain degree of exploration to know what physical qualities are attracted to.

Sure, you need to explore before you realise that you like big tits, a big ass and a cute face.

@Danioover9000@How to be wise by what you physically liked I didn't really mean looks (though that can also be the case), I was mainly meaning different positions, sensations, where you're sensitive, and kinks etc.

sexual energy and semen is like life force or money. If you spend it frivolously thats your choice. But there are always consequences for everything.

 

It's like a person who spends too much money on junk food and candy won't have enough to buy nicer more expensive things at the end of the month.

Nothing wrong with junk food and candy if thats what you like. Junk food and candy is also not the best analogy because

masturbation is still physically perfectly healthy for you as far as I know of.

 

But it still applies that at some point you may get tired of spending money on candy want something greater. 

Thats why semen retention will never work if you demonize masturbation in your mind. You will masturbate until you

realize there is a higher possibility beyond it.

   Yes, I meant explore your sexuality, more than just appearance. Same with different relationships and dating.

   This is what I'm trying to say to everyone: Don't make a decision having little to no experience first hand. How hard is it to get into easy mode Nofap? Or semen retention for the truth seekers out there? @Leo Gura needs to give it a try before demonizing this holy practice first.

why is it that so many gurus and spiritual people preach semen retention? is it really that bad to jizz out from time to time?? I think I saw Leo saying it's pointless to resist it. why would he say the opposite? 

   Have you tried it out before?

@Danioover9000 I'm not an expert but I suppose that semen retention work differently for females.

it's generally pretty awful advice. another poster said it but I think it's taken out of context with how some advanced yogi might be doing it along with some super committed practice, diet, lifestyle, culture, etc. if it improves your life, good for you. I personally have never had any benefit from it and have no interest in suppressing my bodily desires but instead expressing them consciously. tantra and consciously masturbating is something I found is great for me. it feels good and this dimension is meant to be enjoyed. masturbate and have lots of great sex

   Of course, this practice effects men more than women.

@Danioover9000 For females effects might be even more visible.

   It's advice, like all advice, is relative to who's listening to the advice, and who's giving it. For example, semen retention and Nofap may not work if your body is biologically female, and if your male body has lower levels of testosterone normally, or if you've suffered a severe accident or it's natural for your sex gonads to be a particular way that further sexual abstinence does not work. Similarly, the practices might work if you have compulsive addictive behaviors like over watching porn, over stimulate your penis that erectile function is reduced, or you have very high sex rate.

   Of course it's hard for him, because that's his own addiction, sexuality, sex karma, biology and endocrine system, along with psychological beliefs.

Meh masturbation is still perfectly healthy and natural.

   If you have a healthy body, sexuality, sex psychology, realistic expectation, and healthy ways of fapping and recovery, go ahead if you're responsible for your masturbation. There's a fine balancing act, where this can be done too much. A person died from fapping too much, just keep that in mind when the urge to sex binge happens. And yes, sometimes some people can over do Nofap and semen retention to the point that sexuality can be repressed too much if done incorrectly. It's relative to each person, which is why people must do the practices to verify if it's good for them.

It gives me crazy amounts of confidence. I am nearly fearless when it comes to women.

I suppose chopping your entire leg off to fix a broken leg is one way of finding a solution to a problem 

In all seriousness though if it is working for some people just let my criticism of it  go. I’m not being entirely serious here. 

I've tried it before and didn’t notice any positives and I’ve seen a lot of skewed and unhealthy view points preach it so I tend to clap back when people preach no fap related stuff as a solution to their problems.

I’m sure there are situations where a high quality practice of semen retention is what’s needed for a person.

   And that's great! As long as people have tried it, they can say whatever they want about these practices, because they speak from having the experiences. It's when people haven't tried, then say negative or positive opinions about these practices that it becomes a problem, A.K.A @Leo Gura .
