Hi, it's more a problem that the automatic worker cannot get to Inch to parse /b/. I can't fix it unless Zen allows cloudfare workers in. I've dmed him.
Beyond that I wouldn't count on East of Indus news running more, thread qualities have gone down in general, and I'm travelling and moving around currently (and involved in irl projects) but IAC site wont be taken down, so you can sitll enjoy music and archive of news, it's not much I know.
If I get the time I'll try to make something, maybe a game, a lounge or something fun that can be used without dependency.
Cheers

I don't really believe semen retention itself does anything. Although what I've found for me personally is that sexual impulses arriving at important spiritual moments (Like prayer or visualization) are a symptom of a larger problem (rather than masturbation being a problem)
I never could see masturbation or sex as something inherently bad, that's a very, strange point of view to me, sexual impulse is natural and sex is natural, ofc addiction to either is bad, but jacking off here and there never seemed like it did harm. So I never really liked to chastise myself in that regard, but masturbation is a pleasure seeking activity, and it can present as a symptom of other problems, anxiety or spiritual.

This is a joke but I do plan on reading Bin Ladens books. From what I make out of which I've read, Osama wasn't just an evil minion as america potrays him. There was a real view he had about America and imperialization.

See I think No-fap and semen retention are as stupid as gooning. It's a very binary approach to something bigger. And masturbation is more a mental thing rather than semen release, so I really dont think ur doing yourself a favour by pretending edging is some sort of a better thing, who are you trying to trick?
Sex is a very base and primeval impulse, it can literally just fuck anything, there's no good or bad complexity for it, but the complexity and the important thing to note is when you want to masturbate, if its just I want to masturbate at night im bored, that's normal, but if it's after a strong emotional moment or during something or that is important to the psyche, that's not just masturbation that's some internal emotion, anxiety, fear or some complex force leaking energy into the body which you want to release with masturbation.
In that sense masturbation isn't the problem, but you defintely know when its a fucked up masturbation session or just, regular, and you know when you're harming yourself and when you're not. That's more important.

I think for me, I do a lot of strange things, we all feel strange and nervous energies but Ive started to actually practice involving these things from the mind.
Whenever im about to pray I feel a surge of nervous energy, and I recognise what it is now, its essentially just a mix of base nervous energy from a heightened state plus something of an acknowledgement, because I can feel some strange force that I know is working. So I dont really want to become a puritan because the more you repress sexual energy the worse it gets, No-fap is basically a long term sexual practice, edging yourself and enjoying a perverse restriction, and shaming yourself when you eventually break.
That's the problem with semen retention and no fap. dont you want to have a healthy relationship with your own sexuality or do you want to live in a cycle of guilt and urge? No fappers count the days till they relapse when the point should be that masturbation doesnt stop you from living your life
