Today marks the official start of my 30-day semen retention experiment—and I’m pumped to share this journey with you!
The past few days of my prep week? Let’s just say they weren’t exactly a model of abstinence, knowing I’d be committing to 30 days without ejaculation. 😅 But now, it’s game on. I’ll be updating this post throughout the week, so you can follow along in real-time as I navigate the highs, lows, and surprises of this challenge.
Expect unfiltered reflections, practical tips, and maybe a few eye-opening moments as I explore how semen retention impacts my energy, focus, and mindset. Whether you’re curious about personal growth or just here for the journey, let’s see where this experiment takes us!
Diary#
Day 01 - Monday#
So far, so good—day one felt surprisingly smooth! I noticed a few moments of arousal and a slight urge to masturbate, but I approached them with curiosity rather than pressure. It was kind of fun catching myself in those moments and realizing how easy it felt to stay on track. The day’s almost over, and I’m optimistic it’ll keep going this smoothly. Fingers crossed! 😉
Day 02 - Tuesday#
Day two, and it’s still feeling manageable! I had a couple of fleeting thoughts about masturbation, but nothing intense. I’m honestly excited about how easy it’s been so far—loving this positive momentum! 😊
Day 03 - Wednesday#
Things felt pretty smooth today, and I’m starting to notice a pattern—everything’s been surprisingly easy so far! 😊 A thought hit me about why this might be: Zan Perrion, a writer I admire, talks about how our lives are shaped by the stories we tell ourselves. Writing this journal feels like I’m choosing a story to focus on. Sure, I could fudge the truth, but honestly, I’m not here to fool myself. If I wrote one thing but experienced another, it’d nag at me—like a mental splinter. Right now, nobody’s reading this blog, but the idea that someone might read it someday, or even far in the future, gives my words a strange power. It’s like I’m holding myself accountable to a bigger audience, even if it’s just potential. I’m keeping an eye on how this shapes my experience. Documenting the timeline feels crucial too—it grounds the journey in real moments. Here’s to Day 04! 🚀
Day 04 - Thursday#
Today brought a few moments of stronger urges, but I stayed in the green zone—everything’s under control! 😊 Onward to Day 05!
Day 05 - Friday#
Today tested me with a few more persistent moments where urges hit harder, and I had to lean on thought-stopping and breathing exercises to get back in control. Those moments were pretty draining, no lie! But afterward, I felt a spark of pride for tapping into some serious willpower. 😊 Everything turned out fine, and I’m noticing how staying present helps me manage these challenges. Ready for Day 06!
Day 06 - Saturday#
Today was super smooth again—honestly, kind of surprising! 😊 I keep expecting a bigger challenge to hit, but so far, it’s going great. I’m starting to think journaling is keeping my success story alive, shaping my mindset. This feels like a powerful hypothesis worth testing—can writing my journey really make it easier? Let’s keep it rolling for Day 07!
Day 07 - Sunday#
Yesterday and today, there were a few moments of temptation, but it wasn’t hard to stop at the right time. Honestly, it felt really good to embrace that desire without losing control. 😊 No major events otherwise—just staying steady and enjoying the process. Ready for Week 02!
Reflections on Week 01#
Wow, I made it through a whole week! It’s been way easier than I expected, and I’m convinced it’s because of something I noticed on Wednesday: the stories I tell myself shape how I experience this journey. By journaling here, I’m crafting a story of “it’s working because I’m writing a positive narrative.” That’s a profound insight I want to apply to other areas of my life if it holds true throughout this experiment. If my words resonate with you, that’s a huge bonus—I’m thrilled to share this ride! 😊
