Why I Left Semen Retention…

Samir Gardner argues semen retention distracts from real progress. He grew an Instagram following to 30k, coached over 200 men, and wrote a book by focusing on purpose-driven desire and removing distraction instead of tracking streaks.

Semen retention is actually BS. Let me explain to you something. There is something way greater than semen retention. There's something you can actually do that would actually move the needle forward in your life so much, okay? This is what allowed me, for example, to build on Instagram a page to 30,000 followers. This is what allowed me to finally start becoming attractive to women that wanted to be married to me. That's what allowed me to, for example, write this book and do many great things like coaching over 200 men and making money online, doing all of those things, right? And I'm not saying this to brag. I'm saying this because I see so many people, okay, that do this semen retention stuff, do that NoFap stuff, but they don't really do anything with their lives. They don't achieve anything. All they do is a streak of like a few hundred days and then they go back to porn and masturbation and then they start over again. And their life, their achievements, or whatever is meaningful to them, for example, building a relationship with God, or being able to build a family in the near future, being able to attract women, being able to be more confident socially, is not really changing that much, right? Maybe it is changing a little bit, right? Maybe you're becoming more confident, maybe you're progressing in different aspects of life, but it's like you haven't really achieved anything big, right? That's what I used to basically do, right, with this NoFap and semen retention stuff. And worse, I would always relapse at the end of the day, right? So I had to do something. I had to really know like, okay, yeah, I can do that semen retention stuff. It's giving me a lot of drive, a lot of anger. I'm feeling like, you know, basically fearless sometimes. I'm willing to do the hard work every single day, right? Like I'm willing to do all of those things, but then I realized that it's not about semen retention, okay? It's about two things, two benefits that you can actually like inflate if you watch this video and it will literally change your life forever, okay? And look, you know, I've helped people, right? I've helped, for example, one of my students recently that I did a video with really go from, you know, literally trying to quit porn, masturbation, and lust for 15 years. His name is Joshua if you wanna watch the video. And now he is totally free from porn, masturbation, lust forever. Now, what I want to tell you basically, okay, is the two benefits. These two benefits literally changed my life forever and will change yours forever. And I know, you know, I'm not making any videos like these other, you know, NoFap or semen retention YouTubers who are like, oh, you're gonna unlock your third eye or you're gonna do like, you know, you're gonna levitate. I like, I don't believe in that stuff, right? Instead, I believe in God, right? As you know. But what I can tell you, okay, is there's, let me start with the first benefit. The first benefit that you'll actually, that you'll actually get, okay, and this doesn't necessarily come from semen retention, let me explain, is overall a desire. Because a lot of people say, oh, I'm transmuting my sexual energy. And that looks fancy, right? I used to believe in this and I used to genuinely feel this way, right? It sounds fancy, but the truth is it's not that you're transmuting sexual energy because I didn't end of the day, like, how can you prove that you have sexual energy within you? How can you scan that sexual energy, right? Instead, it's just a desire, right? A desire that you're forming in your own mind, desire that you might have, for example, for a woman, right? Obviously, we're predispositioned to be with the opposite sex. You have the desire for a woman, and you have the desire for anything else, right? For example, for setting goals. If you want to retire your parents, if you want to build a family, if you want to build projects that will change the world, right? You have those desires, right? And when you have those desires, right? And that comes down to the second benefit. When you don't have that distraction that you get from anything in life, whether it's porn, whether it's masturbation, whether it's you fantasizing and lusting, whether it's you having casual sex, right? When you don't have those distractions in your life, your life is going to change forever because you're just left with a strong desire to achieve something and no distraction. Like, the modern-day man, what does he do? He's distracted 24/7. Even me, like, I'm working, like, basically all day, right? Because I love working, I love, for example, going to the gym or doing martial arts. I'm still kind of, like, distracted in a sense, right? But when I'm not distracted, like, life changes forever. Because you don't go and basically hide when you know, beyond porn, masturbation, or beyond lusting. When you have a problem in life, instead you face it. When something is hard, you don't go and distract yourself and like, you know, procrastinate on it for like 10 days. You actually do the work, right? That's what allowed me to achieve many things. Because instead of waiting, you know, 1 year before doing something, because I would always procrastinate, I would always distract myself whenever I felt like it was hard. Instead, I was like, you know what? I have this very strong desire to achieve that thing. For example, building a family in the future, right? So I need to make money, for example. Or being able to be more of a man so that I can be a great father in the future. Or being able to study more about my religion so that I can be more of a man of faith and get closer to God, right? When you have those desires, right? Or being obviously with the opposite sex. So I'm gonna go and work out and get in the best shape of my life, and I'm gonna go and do martial arts so I can protect. My future family. When you have those desires in the back of your mind and you're left with nothing but actually doing the work in order to get to those desires, right? And desires is not something negative, it's just something that you want. Trust me, like you're willing to do anything. Like you start becoming, okay, I used to be like this. I used to be like, I really want to be successful. I really want to help people. I really want to make an impact in the world. I really want to achieve all of those things. I really want to be with the opposite sex. But it's like, yeah, I really, I had those desires, but I was doing nothing because yeah, at the end of the day, I could just go porn, masturbation, lust, whatever, fantasize, and I could just distract myself, right? But when you don't distract yourself, you just live with that desire and all you do is put in the work to achieve the desire. That's when everything changes. Right? Obviously also, one thing that you gotta be careful of, you can be distracted with anything else. I mean, you can play video games all day and like all of this semen retention stuff won't do anything because you're just focused on something else, right? We're not sexually transmuting any energy. We're just having that desire within us, within our mind, right? To achieve something. And when that desire is strong, you're willing to do pretty much anything, right? But the thing is, the modern-day man is so distracted by so many different things that the desire basically is like covered throughout the day, right? So like he wakes up, he goes on his phone, right? And I do this as well, so like I'm not blaming you. But like he goes on his phone, he watches a video, he goes on porn, he goes masturbate, and then, you know, he goes out, he goes watch sports, he goes to basically like do a bunch of different things. And then the day is ended, he's gonna eat, he's gonna do this, he's gonna, you know, take a shower, And like, you know, he's not even really internalizing that desire and really like looking at it throughout the day, right? And that's the thing, when you're not distracted, you always have the desire in your mind and you're like, yeah, I'm gonna work to achieve that, right? That's what allows you to literally every day put in the work. Obviously, I'm not promoting you to just like go and work, work, work, work, right? But I'm just saying that you're willing to do anything, right? And one thing that really helped me the most, which I always tell my students to do, is to build a vision. Because, okay, you have the desire, but if you make that desire seem more real by really making a vision of like where you would be in the future and with all of those desires, right, that you would have achieved, like it will give you so much clarity that like subconsciously every day you're going to be going towards it. And that, my friend, is going to change your life forever. I don't even need to say anything. Else, right? It's really simple, but most people don't do those things. Like, literally, I have a desire and not be distracted will literally change your life, right? Like, when I was looking at like emperors, right? Like, uh, what it was like Napoleon, whether it was like Alexander the Great, whether it was like, um, you know, Caesar, whatever, right? Like, you know, I'm not saying that those people were like prophets or anything, right? I'm just saying that they managed to achieve quite a lot. And when I looked at them, what they basically did is like they basically had such a strong desire, right? For example, Julius Caesar, like this guy literally cried when he saw a statue of Alexander the Great and he cried because he didn't achieve as much by his age, right? As Alexander did. And you know, the desire is so strong and guess what? They didn't have like technology and most of them didn't care about the distractions going on inside of the the village, they will just focus on the mission, right? And that's what allows people to achieve so much, because when you're not distracted, you're just willing to do the hard work, right? It's like your only option, your only option is to do the hard work, and it actually becomes enjoyable. Going to the gym and pushing yourself to failure becomes enjoyable. Going to the martial arts club and fighting and doing sparring, like, you know, you're literally willing to go to the limits, right? Because it becomes like your source of pleasure because it is aligned with your desires, right? And what you want in life. And so most people don't know what they want. And on top of that, they're too distracted to even think about what they want. And if they knew what they wanted and that they would follow it and that they would have it in the back of their mind, their life would change forever, right? So guys, if you really want to master this, if you want to quit porn, masturbation, lust, go watch my other videos on YouTube. I explain in depth the root cause of these behaviors. I explain in depth how you can actually cut the root cause, how you can actually move on from lust, how you can actually move on from porn, masturbation, lust, and even stop watching all of these NoFap videos and even my videos in the near future so that you can just go and live your life and follow your desires, follow what is meaningful to you, your vision, right? And change your life forever. Go and build that family, get closer to God, become a role model in your community, become someone that people come up to when they need for help, right? And all of those things, right? And this book will launch eventually, but I hope you enjoyed this video. And if you wanna book a call with me one-on-one, then the link in the description. Anyway, Samir Gardner.
