I ejaculated on Sunday.
Monday I was crazy horny all day.
Today (Tuesday), I just feel normal again. Like about the same as I felt everyday the last month (which covered 3rd and 4th attempts). It was only the 1st and 2nd attempts where I noticed big swings in energy. It’s more subtle differences now.
I’m thinking that this attempt is going to be boring. It’s also going to be my last attempt for a while. I think semen retention has lowered my sex drive a bit. Based on my life experience, my sex drive is optimal when I ejaculate 1 or maybe 2 times per week. It’s not a bad thing – I have a lot more calm and cool energy. And it’s nice the last month (I only ejaculated on March 13th and 26th) to have better focus on work and other things. I’ve also been able to have sex whenever I want, and get turned on easily (even if the desire wasn’t there ahead of time). I also seemed to have a new level of control and better able to tell when I’m getting close. Not sure if related to semen retention directly, or just because I’ve been paying a lot of attention to control and separating orgasm from ejaculation.
Either way – my “failures” have been learning experiences. Even if I don’t get to 21 days, I have learned new things trying and observed feelings and moods I might not have paid much attention to otherwise.
I don’t know if it’s realistic to expect some big change at the 21 day mark. I don’t really know what to expect. So one last try, and then I’ll prob go back to ejaculating 1-2 times per week for a while before I try again.
