This thread rules! I have ambitious goals both physically and creatively, and my research into successful people has blatantly shown that everyone from yogi masters and chi masters, to professional athletes, musicians, and businessmen know that abstaining from ejaculation cultivates a huge amount of energy, which can be used (“transmuted”) not only for getting jacked in the gym, or a big cock, but also for manifesting huge wealth and success. You take the energy and DO whatever you want with it. After about a week of no nut I find myself hitting yoga classes, gym and martial arts all in the same day, but I can also turn it into focus and work on a book or an album for 10 hours straight, pull multiple all-nighters, etc. I also take a lot of supplements and superfoods: deer antler, ho shu wu, ashwagandha, hemp seed, pumpkin seed, raw honey, tribulus, maca, goji berries, eucommia, pine nuts / pine pollen, etc… By nature I’m a very feminine-energy kind of person but throwing the book at this issue has turned me into a fucking rockstar, and I’m super hardcore in everything I do. For anyone curious, this experiment is well worth doing. Some guys can get away with nutting all they want and be fine - it depends on genetics, diet, psychology - but for anyone who isn’t feeling emotionally powerful and joyful, I would highly suggest taking 7-10 days and doing an experiment.
Deep breathing is really important. Journaling helps. When you expand your energy like this, it’s going to expand your emotional issues because you’ll have more energy to express it. The Taoists have elaborate exercises to circulate energy, but just taking a few minutes to breathe will do a lot. All this junk medical science about not nutting hurting the prostate and all this shit is really subjective. The point is you have to DO something with all that energy, you have to know what you want and why you’re doing it.
Famous people who tracked and experimented with celibacy/chastity: Leonardo Da Vinci, Einstein, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Edison, Andrew Carnegie (who famously supplied the information for the chapter “The Mystery of Sex Transmutation” in Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich), Miles Davis, who said “You can cum, or you can play, but you can’t cum and play. Make Mohammad Ali cum before a fight and I’ll whip his ass!” (esquire interview) … Etc etc.
