I TRIED 30 DAYS OF S*MEN RETENTION... (educational experiment)

For the next 30 days, I am attempting one of the most insane challenges I have ever dared to try. This has been a much harder day than all the other days before. I want to punch a hole in the wall. This is a medical experiment conducted by trained professionals here at Harvard University. Do not try this at home. Very few men have successfully completed this challenge, and we're gonna be taking on 30 days of semen retention. Now, what's this challenge about? Not to be confused by NoFap. Please elaborate. Everybody's talking about all these amazing benefits. Take control of your body and retention. Yes, people are addicted to it. It is a modern-day cigarette. Why would somebody want to do this? I think I'm literally losing my mind. Wish me luck because this is going to be hard. Day 30, please, please come faster. Two hours until the challenge officially commences, so I'm gonna make the most of these last two hours. That was so good. Was that as good for you as it was for me? Probably not. We're one day in, and Claudia's already tormenting me. Not allowed. I'm in retention mode. Stay on your side, and I'll stay on mine. Do you think I'm gonna make it 30 days? Um, no. You said three or four times, and you could just quit and delete the video and get on with the business. We're not letting it happen though. We're grinding this out. Day one, let's go. Over some stuff: over the next 30 days, I am expected to experience five new amazing increases in my life, those being overall improved energy that I'm looking forward to the most, an increase in my total testosterone, thicker hair, greater muscle growth, and overall a better divine protein shake. God, that is weird. Let the games begin. All right, so we're heading in to go get my blood work done to see what my testosterone levels are at. Last time I got it checked, I was at 440-ish, so I'm doing a 30-day—it's gonna sound weird—retention challenge. It's gonna be very hard, no fun. Is there any sort of correlation between an ejaculation and testosterone level? I think it's going to go down. Really? No way. I hope it doesn't go down. I mean, I'm going to be googling it. I'm going to be doing some research. Boys, we're getting our testosterone checked right now. Damn, my blood is filling up quick. All right, let's go, let's go. Day two of the retention challenge. I took a flight all the way to Miami, the number one place where there is zero retention being done. I am not by my girlfriend, so the only enemy this week is my left hand. Let me show you what I want to do right now. Do you get it? Do you understand? All right, it's starting to kick in. It's time to meditate to get my brain off of this because day three, I'm starting to have withdrawals. What I'm doing is I do seven seconds in, four seconds hold, and the second out. I'm not gonna lie, I feel absolutely amazing. If you're like me and you have a lot of anxiety and you're very antsy and your brain is always racing, I highly recommend you try out some meditation. It's a really good way to get your mind off of things and just relax. Listen, boys, I had the urge to do, you know what, to myself, and the best way to do it is hop in a nice brisk cold shower. Day four, it's getting harder. I'm not kidding. It's starting to kick in like my mind is playing games. Let's do it, boys. You got this. Full sentence. Oh God. Oh, even after being in the sun all day. Retention, retention, retention. Okay, I will make it to day 30. I promise you that. Do you think men oversexualize and overobjectify women by the male gaze? Yes. Yes, especially in the gym. Especially in the gym. Yes, 100%. I am on a journey to change that. I'm in a gym right now that's empty. There are no distractions, and it shows you that when you have no distractions, you can work harder. If you're someone that lacks motivation or you lack the discipline to stay focused, that could be your problem. It could be scrolling social media on TikTok, seeing girls, or it could be the fact that you're having a male gaze and you're looking at women around you and you're overly sexualizing them. So that's why this challenge might change that. Very interesting. I feel like Dr. Phil. What I find crazy is that for years, I created this horrible habit that before my shower, I would do something. Okay, I want to say something. You guys know exactly what I'm talking about. When I come back from the gym and I'm about to shower, right now my brain immediately goes click right to that habit. It's important to challenge yourself and have self-discipline. It takes time. It takes willpower, and the second you start thinking about it is the second you have to realize I'm breaking the chain and I'm creating a new one somewhere else that is gonna be better. Your mind is a game, baby. We must conquer and win it. I am currently on day seven of retention. Okay, that was not epic enough. Day seven. Okay, that was better. All right, so boys and girls, now the challenge is about to get a lot harder now that I'm around Claudia again. Claudia insisted on giving me my one-year anniversary gift. We have something that is gonna make this challenge probably even more difficult. Our one-year anniversary lines up during the challenge. You can do it. You just can't finish. That is terrible. I'm struggling. Being home with Claudia is not making things easy. I want to end this challenge like now. Day seven, things are getting harder, literally. Oh my God, I'm just being honest. On a positive note, the original testosterone test results come in in just a few days, so we'll have the numbers of the comparison from the before and after coming very soon. I'm super stoked for that. Overall motivation's high. Dedication's high right now. I think being able to see the end goal get closer and closer is huge. I've been the most consistent I have in a very long time when it comes to training. I look the best I ever have, and that is all because my mental discipline is definitely a lot better. Listen, guys, I want success so badly, and you guys know I'm 100% about working harder than ever. I am taking this challenge so seriously. Sometimes you need to reset things to be able to get to the next level in life, to elevate, and to prove to yourself that you are worthy of all the goals that you want to reach in the future. You gotta work for it. Cardio is a hassle. Getting leaner is a hassle, but I'm gonna do it because I know it's gonna help me in the future. This is all about self-improvement here. I literally almost lost the challenge just moments ago, the first time we're feeling this all week, and just know that day seven, this has been a much harder day than all the other days before. It is very uncomfortable. I'll give you that. I made a rookie mistake. Can't give in that easy. Day eight, okay, I'm on my way to the gym, and I needed to say this. I need to get it off my chest. That was painful last night. It hurt really bad. I am starting to feel the retention kick in. We're going to take it out on the weights in the gym and see how good it actually feels. Training when I feel this retention, I am an animal right now. Okay, I hit a PR, 315 for 13. My testosterone is supposed to be peaking right now, and that felt easy, so maybe, maybe I think it's safe to say things have kicked in. What, you're sucking on that like you want something out of it, babe? We're going into a gym, and you're getting me excited. Technically, you can still do anything with me. All right, something I have noticed after my workouts, I don't know if it's my dieting, the extra cardio, or it's the retention, I feel a sort of angry, like, oh, like I have this underlying buildup of emotion. See, that annoys the hell out of me right now, but every little thing, I want to punch a hole in the wall. I'm not normally like this, so it's kind of weird. Something's causing that, and I don't know what, but yeah, I'm just pretty annoyed. Day 11, still experiencing honestly some anger. All right, I'm using it to my advantage and taking it out on the weights, but every little thing is still bothering me, so hopefully this doesn't keep up or interfere with anything. We'll have to find out. Yesterday, I was 99 on M.

fail this challenge it was like go time i'm running my marathon okay i was right at the finish line and i'm like whoa but i got so close to absolutely destroying this challenge and i didn't i'm so proud of that most men out there

they're not they're not stopping i'm in texas right now at alphaland claudia's not here the only way i foresee myself failing this is probably because my girlfriend but i'm gonna do everything in my power to not let that happen but overall i feel

good my mental clarity is back on point i was feeling angry the past few days i am sexually frustrated okay there it is i just want to update you guys that i have been the most disciplined with my

diet training filming everything and especially before this i felt like i was hitting a little bit of a rut it feels so good to have like my head on straight right now and to be able to make so much

progress because of this challenge in place and it does not let you steer off that road ladies and gentlemen we have made it to the 14 day marker of semen retention this is huge one of the biggest things

that i have noticed is that i no longer have to take cold showers i don't have to meditate i'm able to conquer these feelings and it's not so much of a challenge anymore but more of a habit now and tomorrow we get day one's

results of my testosterone to see our starting point all right i've just discovered that i want to end this challenge at 20 days you're a loser joey has been egging me on what oh joey joey why think about this i think that's

that's like stop stop no what are you doing i want one thing and one thing only what you know exactly what i want oh god help me i'd be lying to you if i told you that i'm having a good day this is the

worst day i've had in probably a full-on year i could either do the dirty deed or i can go fap and in seconds i'll feel a little bit better or i can go eat a really big cheat meal and feel better

but one of the greatest parts about this challenge is rewiring my brain to not be dopamine dependent because i'm in control and not my addiction to dopamine i just left the gym and i want to open up to you guys about my mental health

scenario okay i feel like lately so much anxiety has been inside of me the past few weeks feeling overwhelmed and overworked and just not feeling okay at all so i'm just looking forward to this challenge being over i'm just gonna push

through to the end of the month i'm gonna get through this challenge and then i'm gonna be done and i cannot wait for that day all right we are in life med about to get the round one results of my testosterone i

definitely think that there's a big change coming so day 30 hopefully our testosterone is higher hopefully there's better blood work i'm healthier and we'll see if the undertension really works okay so i need to know my testosterone results okay have you

looked at them yet i have oh you have i just looked out oh god yeah oh my god don't give me that look let me hear the numbers i don't even want to look okay so total testosterone we know that's all the testosterone you

have in your body total testosterone or ranges 250 to 1100 we're at 476. that's up that's up 20.

that's up 20. let's go but then we go to the free tesla matters yeah right so free 46 to 224 is the range you're at 40.7 the last time you were at 61.

really yeah so you came down and then the bio available again just another form of the active form of testosterone 90.8 the range is 110 to 575. the last time no way available what the hell is going on well you heard

it here first we're at a 476 total test and a whopping 40.7 free test okay so we know that my testosterone is low and i'm gonna say i am worried that this challenge is gonna leave me with less

testosterone than when i started i've been dieting obviously and i've been working harder than ever but i feel like that's almost counter-intuitive i tried to do more and get better throughout this month by doing that i have less sex

drive than i've had in a very long time so i have a feeling that my numbers might get worse i've just been so focused on things that my mind has not been in that very sexual manner so we shall see bro oh you got a haircut

today's a big day that's nice not because the haircut why three weeks on retention baby let's go i'm suffering i don't know how people wait until marriage to do the dirty i don't think i've went 30 days in

my life you are actually doing it yeah i'm literally actually doing i don't know how it's really hard did you girl no dude i feel like they kind of got smaller [Laughter] i'll have the the doctor measure them on

day 30. oh that's great yeah yeah i don't think they make rollers that small damn in the past few days i've noticed an absolute surge of energy it could be testosterone i'm on week three now i would expect some sort of increase by

now i've been waking up at 6 00 6 30 a.m on my own before my alarm and i'm like ready to go right away in two different ways something in my head has clicked and i'm working harder than ever we're

going into the last week nice and strong i'm gonna finish this bad boy on top of all that i've been doing my cardio first thing in the morning as well and getting it over with and i've been upping my

cardio to total 40 minutes so for me to be on this deep of a diet this shredded right now and feel this good something is working my overall motivation to do the dirty deed is definitely going down start off in the

beginning wanting to do it a lot and craving it but now i feel like it's not even a part of my life and i mentioned this before but i absolutely miss that part of my relationship what i mean by this is the

urge to do the dirty deed is not there like it once was because of this challenge and i'm not chasing that dopamine spike but the bad thing about that is that there's a missing piece of my relationship that isn't being

fulfilled it's more than just a good feeling for a moment it's an actual connection and spiritual like feeling between two people and i just cannot wait for day 30 so that way i can have that back i'm sure claudia wants that

too but i'm not gonna speak for her okay this challenge sucks i'm not gonna lie to you day 30 please please come faster and i mean that two ways day 30 baby we finishing the challenge ladies and gentlemen we're getting the final blood

test right now to see if my testosterone is raging through the roof i believe it is watch it go down ah still hurts like the first time damn that was a thicker needle last time felt like my testosterone definitely went down i

feel vibrations in my arms the testosterone is trying to get out so much pent up energy there we go i feel cool like you know when you like get a tattoo and you feel cool after it's like one of those

feelings do you think i'm gonna have a better result or a worse result oh my god it goes up only time will tell dear retention i'm sorry i have to tell you this over a letter but i think we

need to end things i don't think we're good together every day i wake up it's the same thing i just can't get you off my mind i try to distract myself with some good sugary sweetness but the donuts just remind me of you only choice

i have is to finish this challenge on because i can't do this anymore it's just too hard so day 30 i'm coming for you sincerely jesse james west luckily we got to day 30 quicker than i knew it and i could feel something was

happening to me over the past 30 days i've challenged myself mentally and physically more than i ever have in my entire life yes this is jesse hi this is erica from life how are you i'm good i'm good all right so on day

one your total testosterone was 476. okay on day one your free testosterone was 40.7 okay with every moment that you work hard you gain something even better it was my time to rise and shine on day 30 your total testosterone is 573

and your free testosterone is 56.8 let's go it went up let's go i raised my testosterone naturally [Music] subscribe and don't forget to stay relentless peace i think i'm dry i'm driving the wrong way oh my god i might be an animal but i'm also an

idiot okay gotta go
