I see. Thank you very much for the info. Hopefully the mess gets cleaned up soon. It's such a weird thing for someone to do

You mean Ruud? What should be done now? What are the implications

Alternatively, it becomes a dad joke when you start kidding.

Thank you anyway for taking a look and commenting! It's interesting to hear your perspective, and I'm glad you could at least learn about it as a concept.

Thanks for your comment. The practice and results may vary from person to person. It's certainly not a miracle cure, but the general finding is that when our bodies are not ejaculating, they are not constantly needing to produce semen which is a very nutrient- and energy-intensive process. As a result, we have more consistent levels of energy and a more stable emotional state.

Thank you. Well, it's not something I generally talk about in person (although I know it's likely seen as strange to most), but on Reddit there was enough of a following that there was not much ostracism, so this is a first for me. I was curious if the Lemmy reaction is more representative of the average person's thoughts on the topic.

Just thinking out loud. Thanks for your reply!

 

I recently created a community for the practice of semen retention. It is an ancient practice and has ties to Taoism. For me and others it is largely for the sake of self improvement and spiritual / material progress.

I posted on a new communities forum and the post almost immediately has garnered several downvotes. I'm genuinely confused as to why. The practice is not hurting anyone, nor is it rude or offensive.

If you don't like it, just downvote and move on. Why is this so upsetting to you?

In my case, the page keeps spinning but the post is not submitted, regardless of reloading the page or waiting for a long time. There was one case where I cut down significantly on the amount of characters in the post and then it posted, but I have been unable to replicate this.

Same. It would be good to fix this

I like it this way much more. I never felt comfortable commenting on Reddit, but something about this basic, forum style makes me feel actually comfortable contributing to the conversation. It's a new feeling but really nice! I'm thinking this will help me quit Reddit and spend less time on screens as well. I'm having a hard time figuring out instances etc and how to connect to them, I'm mostly just using this instance and its communities for now. I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually
