Firstly, I'd like to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who's been helping me lately. The aneros journey so far has been a very strange one, and I thank you for all the advice and encouragement, without which I may not have come this far. I'm sure I'll have many more questions as I keep searching for that first dry orgasm, and I appreciate everyone's continued patience.
Secondly, today marks day 21 of my semen retention period - by far the longest I've ever gone. It's my second serious attempt and I'm genuinely confident that I've given it a fair chance. My conclusion is thus: I feel absolutely no physical or psycological benefits, and no benefits to my aneros sessions. One user said I should be "full of energy" at this point, but I'm not. If anything, I'm slightly worn down. The only noticeable effects have been negative - things like frustration, aching, insomnia, depression, even decreased libido, all to varying degrees. If semen retention works wonders for you, I wish you joy of it. But it does nothing for me, and I'll likely never try it again.
The good news? I've done it. At the very least, I can say I've completed the 21-day challenge, and I've proven to myself that I possess the necessary discipline even with all the problems semen retention seems to cause me.
Finishing today would mark the full 21 days. So when I get home from work tomorrow, I think a little celebration is in order (i.e. I'm gonna beat my meat like it owes me money.)
See ya!
Semen retention is not necessarily a great thing for everyone, and 21 days not necessarily the ideal time period either. For a lot of men, a shorter cycle likely is better. Guys have different goals as well. One guy might want to ramp up his sexuality while another might be seeking to tone his libido way down.
