Continence

Hi all,

I've been continent for about 6 months now. Not continually, but practicing continence with inevitable slips.
The first time I tried, I went 90 days. At the end of that period, I was fantasizing on a daily basis and the impulse to have an orgasm became a constant thread. Basically I was getting hot and bothered with nowhere for the energy to go but out.

Here is a link to extensive notes collected by a man in Finland.

If you have time and like history, you may enjoy reading about those who recommended this practice through history, including Muslims, early Christians and others. It begins with a lot of material about the Catholic Church's condemnation of Karezza.

-EXERCISE: this can't be overemphasized. Regular (and fairly intense) cardio and weightlifting help a great deal.

-DIET: Follow a diet that is sattvic (as described by the Indian religions of Sikhism/Hinduism/Buddhism). Fruits and veggies, whole grains, and dairy are considered sattvic foods. Not eating too much and avoiding too much spices and stimulants all help when combined with regular physical activity.
