Whether this is new to you, or you’ve heard of the concept and wanted to explore it further, you cannot deny that the entire notion is intriguing. It is common belief that regular masturbation is healthy. But we have all been fed incorrect information, however it’s not our fault for believing it, we all trust experts, that’s why they’re called experts.
It takes a hell of a lot of energy to create sperm, it’s one of the main reasons why men live shorter lives on average than women. It is said that the production of sperm in order to create a life, takes a part of our own life with it. This suggests that lowering the frequency of ejaculations should result in you living longer, aging slower and looking better in an appearance sense. These are all valid reasons to practice sperm retention, however the benefits don’t stop there.
In recent years a new organisation by the name of NOFAP has been formed. The NOFAP organisation encourages men to quit porn and masturbation and conserve their sperm. This is an attempt to attract real women and improve their general day to day lives. Many men in the modern era report symptoms such as depression, low energy, anxiety, fear of women and social awkwardness. They recognized that this wasn’t normal, and like all of us would, they searched why. This involved trips to doctors, specialists and hundreds if not thousands in wasted cash. Yet they still couldn’t remove their negative symptoms.
Most of these men try NOFAP as a last resort. Nothing else works for them, so they simply think, what harm can it do? Quickly these men realize that they’ve stumbled onto something, they begin to see what many have labelled superpowers. This consists of increased confidence, removal of depression, anxiety, fear and social awkwardness. They also report receiving huge increases in motivation for life and success, they suddenly want to do more than lie in bed and watch TV all day. I personally don’t believe in the superpowers, I believe it’s merely a man experiencing normality. The reason why it feels like superpowers for so many, is down to how familiar they became with feeling tired and negative.
NOFAP or so called super powers..
Lets quickly look at all of the listed benefits that men participating in NOFAP have experienced:

Sexual transmutation
As you can see NOFAP/sperm retention isn’t necessarily producing superpowers. It is merely tapping into what nature intended. In the animal kingdom you will see males peaking around mating season. Humans are one of the only creatures without a mating season. We’re constantly wasting semen all throughout the year rather than letting sexual desire build like 99.9% of creatures on planet earth.
This was elaborated on by Napoleon Hill in the book Think and Grow Rich. Below are pieces from that book explaining the art of sexual transmutation (Sperm retention/NOFAP) , that I have constructed into one.
When driven by this desire, men develop keenness of imagination, courage, will-power, persistence, and creative ability unknown to them at other times. So strong and impelling is the desire for sexual contact that men freely run the risk of life and reputation to indulge it. When harnessed, and redirected along other lines, this motivating force maintains all of its attributes of keenness of imagination, courage, etc., which may be used as powerful creative forces in literature, art, or in any other profession or calling, including, of course, the accumulation of riches.
Scientific research has disclosed these significant facts:
The men of greatest achievement are men with highly developed sex nature; men who have learned the art of sex transmutation.
The men who have accumulated great fortunes and achieved outstanding recognition in literature, art, industry, architecture and the professions, were motivated by the influence of a women.
The emotion of sex is an “irresistible force,” against which there can be no such opposition as an “immovable body.” When driven by this emotion, men become gifted with a super power for action. Understand this truth, and you will catch the significance of the statement that sex transmutation will lift one to the status of a genius.
For the purpose of refreshing the memory, in connection with the facts available from the biographies of certain men, we here present the names of a few men of outstanding achievement, each of whom was known to have been of a highly sexed nature. The genius which was their’s, undoubtedly found its source of power in transmuted sex energy: George Washington, Napoleon Bonaparte, William Shakespeare, Abraham Lincoln, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Thomas Jefferson, Oscar Wilde and Woodrow Wilson.
This study disclosed the fact that the major reason why the majority of men who succeed do not begin to do so before the age of forty to fifty, is their tendency to DISSIPATE their energies through over indulgence in physical expression of the emotion of sex. The majority of men never learn that the urge of sex has other possibilities, which far transcend in importance, that of mere physical expression. The majority of those who make this discovery, do so after having wasted many years at a period when the sex energy is at its height, prior to the age of forty-five to fifty. This usually is followed by noteworthy achievement.
Sports
Boxers are told to not masturbate for weeks if not months before a fight. Many athletics trainers also tell their athletes to not masturbate before competitions. Two high profile practitioners include Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali, who both went years without releasing semen in order to achieve success.
As former world heavyweight champion boxer David Haye said on the topic of sperm retention:
Find a lion that hasn’t had some food for a while, and you’ve got one dangerous cat. I don’t ejaculate for six weeks before the fight. No sex, no masturbation, no nothing. It releases too much tension. It releases a lot of minerals and nutrients that your body needs, and it releases them cheaply. Releasing weakens the knees and your legs. Find a lion that hasn’t had some food for a while, and you’ve got a dangerous cat. So there won’t bet a drip from me. Even in my sleep — if there are girls all over me in my dream, I say to them, ‘I’ve got a fight next week, I can’t do anything. I can’t do it.’ That’s control. I’ve been doing that since I was fifteen and its part and parcel of my preparation now. That’s why I am who I am today — it’s down to all those little sacrifices. Find me another boxer who makes that sacrifice, and you’ll find another champion.
