I’m now in Week 02 of a 30-day semen retention challenge, a practice I’ve heard can boost discipline, energy, and clarity. Week 01 was surprisingly smooth, as I shared in my Week 01 post , and I’m excited to see how this week unfolds. I’m documenting it with daily reflections, staying honest about what’s coming up. Let’s dive in! 😊
Diary#
Day 08 - Monday#
Today was super easy again! 😊 A couple of moments of desire popped up, but they were totally manageable—no sweat. Journaling keeps me grounded, and I’m curious to see if the bigger challenges are still ahead. On to Day 09!
Day 09 - Tuesday#
Unbelievable, another day without ejaculation is in the books! 😄 It went pretty well again. A few moments got interesting: while driving, I suddenly had this wild urge to pull over and release in the woods, paired with a tempting, pressing feeling in my body. It was honestly hilarious to observe, but staying strong was no problem after all.
Day 10 - Wednesday#
Wow, with today done, I’m officially a third of the way through the 30 days! 😊 The morning was business as usual—pretty easy. This afternoon, alone at home, I felt like indulging a bit and edged close to orgasm a few times, stopping just short. As I mentioned before, I don’t want to deny myself the feeling of desire, so I’d rather get close multiple times than go all the way. After a while, it almost felt like a kind of satisfaction or calm settled in, and the urge to release faded. I won’t get too deep into details, but some moments felt absolutely incredible! 😄
The bill came later, though—you know how it goes, but it still catches you off guard. I had some pain in my testicles and lower abdomen, honestly pretty uncomfortable. Tried distracting myself with a bit of cycling, but no dice—it was rough. Lesson learned… or at least, now it’s written down here to remind me! 😉 Onward to Day 11!
Day 11 - Thursday#
Today was nice and easy again! 😊 Journaling these wins keeps my momentum going—feeling strong and ready for Day 12!
Day 12 - Friday#
While walking in the woods during my lunch break today, I started wondering if the craving for those orgasmic feelings might be fading a bit. It’s surprising how easy it’s been to stick with not ejaculating. Later, while riding the train with a colleague, I noticed a few women giving me some curious looks, which felt pretty awesome 😊
Day 13 - Saturday#
A bit of temptation under the shower today, but everything was super easy again! 😊 I’m starting to wonder if there’s a catch coming or if I’ve just crossed some kind of threshold. Ready for Day 14!
Day 14 - Sunday#
Okay, this is honestly wild — I did a semen retention challenge back in 2013, and if I remember right, 14 days was my record then. That time was a real challenge, and to be honest, it was a bit tougher: I was with a lover who nearly lost it because I wouldn’t finish, and then I got back to my shared apartment where I (regrettably) hooked up with my roommate regularly. When I was close to the point of no return with her, she didn’t quite stop in time, and, well, the explosion happened. Two women in one day was a bit too much! 😅 Today, I didn’t face that kind of challenge, and it probably won’t come up in the next few days either. No big deal, though. I’m holding back on dating during this challenge anyway, as I’m locked in: 30 days is the absolute minimum. So far, it’s going perfectly! 😊 Journaling this milestone feels epic—on to Week 03!
Reflections on Week 02#
Week 02 has been a wild ride, and hitting Day 14—matching my 2013 record—feels like a huge milestone! 😄 Unlike last time, this week felt surprisingly manageable, even with moments of temptation like edging on Day 10 or that random urge in the car on Day 09. I’m starting to think I’ve crossed a threshold where the craving for release isn’t as intense, like I noted on Day 12. Journaling these moments, as Zan Perrion’s idea of shaping our stories suggests, is keeping me locked in. Writing it down helps me process urges—like the discomfort after edging—and celebrate wins, like staying strong without the dating pressures I faced in 2013. I also noticed some curious glances from women on Day 12, which gave me a confidence boost. Maybe it’s the energy I’m carrying? I’m curious to see if Week 03 brings tougher challenges or if this clarity and discipline keep growing. This experiment is teaching me so much about myself already! 😊
