Don’t Hold It, Boys: Let It Out

The Truth About Semen Retention: Why You Should Probably Just Have a Wank

I recently watched a YouTube video by a guy "teaching" men how to "retain semen" using some supposed Yogic practice to "redirect the energy through your chakras and up out of the head"—blah, blah, blah.

He was teaching the wrong way to do it, which is dangerous. Even worse, he had no idea that for most men, ejaculation is a vital part of physical and psychological health. He presented it in such an expert manner that I just had to jump on my keyboard and say something—not to him, as that would make no difference—but to you.

The Dangers of Misinformed Practice

So, in a nutshell: whilst semen retention is a thing, and whilst it can be a powerful energetic, physical, and spiritual practice of huge benefit, the correct techniques require many, many years of practice plus true expert tuition and guidance.

And, frankly? Most of us aren’t ready.

The Verdict

Don’t do it.

I rarely give "do" and "don’t" advice, but please, for the sake of your health: Have a wank. Enjoy it. It is natural, it is necessary, and it is a fundamental part of your sexual wellness.
