Thanks Chang and SC,
I've read the T&C, and I agree that they make common sense. I've been experimenting with retension and total abstinence for a while and am looking forward to the 'real progress' you talk about (and I am a real person - lol).
In the past, using only semen retention (and lots of will power and discipline), when I reached somewhere between 30-40 days, I simply lost my semen almost involuntarly, i.e. I was pleasuring, breathing, etc, but ejaculated almost spontaneously. This happened on two different occasions. On feeling the loss of energy, I was even more motivated to go without a loss for a longer period. This is why I am trying celicacy, i.e. no direct stimulation and pleasuring. I move the energy that builds up with self massage and some deep breathing. This is working so far. As I said, I'm currently single and have a vision that the next time I have sex will be with a new partner and in a loving context with her.
