I do semen retention im currently on a 40 day streak and have only busted twice in the last 137 days (137:2). I dont intend to stop so I will be a participant of NNN but I will continue my streak long after NNN ends. But I think as much as NNN is viewed by many as a joke, it serves to bring awareness to the dangers of self abuse. I actually turned down a girl yesterday that I sued to mess with. Its gotten to the point that I feel physically and mentally horrible (anxious, uneasy, sense of impending doom) when I bust so at this point in my life i can barely function after busting. I have no option but to continue.

Benefits of retaining: focused, reduced fear of confrontation, proactive, euphoria, amazing sleep quality, more masculine, workouts feel amazing, running longer distances, inner drive to push myself (I run 25 kilometers without stopping its hard on the knees and joints since im a bit overweight so I can only do it like twice a week. I used to run 10k but I wanted to challenge myself and without SR it would have been to intimidating for me), enjoying the little things of life, music sounds SOOO much better, comedy is way funnier. There is a SR subreddit and this on guy did testosterone tests through out his streak and it is very eye opening, (Retaining increases/ normalises your testosterone levels) I will post a link to this. My longest streak was 7 months back in 2018/19 and the only way I can explain it is that it was magical and unreal! I've been trying to chase that high ever since!
