[QUOTE="henrypemberton, post: 1459337, member: 20816"] In my humble opinion I just think we are naturally able to retain semen. It wouldn't make sense for us to have to ejaculate all the time. Think about man hundreds of years ago...no way he was ejaculating all the time. Also, if you can accept that the only purpose of ejaculation is to reproduce, it makes sense that a Christian man could quiet those urges and only call upon them within a marriage for that purpose. For me, quitting porn involved an initial "hump" I had to get over. I found myself thinking "how could [I]anyone[/I] do this (retain semen)?" But once your body gets the hint that you will not be calling on it for the foreseeable future to make babies, it backs off. Lean on God every time sexual thoughts enter your mind. Fasting in general (abstaining from anything pleasurable) helps you see how your body and thoughts try to get you to indulge in things. If you fail don't be hard on yourself. Through fasting, we can learn self-control. [/QUOTE]
