The Semen Retention subreddit is a place of magic and wonder. That is, many of its inhabitants believe that the simple non-activity of not masturbating for an extended length of time gives them literal magic power. As for the wonder, well, I wonder just what it is they’re smoking.
Semen retainers, or at least a lot of them, believe that their militant non-wanking allows them to build up a vast amount of physical and psychic energy that makes them magnetically irresistible, “aligns [their] spirit with the Tao,” and even allows them to “bend reality” with their mind.
But this newfound energy brings not only joy but also real danger — from those who sense their new power and try to steal their lucky charms. Semen Retainers regularly warn their fellow non-wankers about the dangers of female “energy vampires” eager to drain their energies along with their balls.
“In a fertile state,” a semen-retaining Redditor called salinorum wrote,
women turn into a form of energetic leach in which the a woman is looking to withdraw the vital seminal fluid of a man for the purposes of reproduction.
That is possibly the least sexy sentence ever written in the English language. Somehow I doubt this guy is going to get Penthouse to publish any of his letters any time soon.
Of course not all woman want to get pregnant when they are fertile, at least consciously. But their sexual hardwiring kicks in and results in a subconscious desire to have sex with the most fit man possible. I’ve realized women are very dangerous during their fertile period, almost like a vampire or leach. Rather than thirsting for your blood, they want your good seed.
He then told a harrowing tale about some woman who, he thinks, wanted to hook up with him for his magic sperm.
I realized the power of a woman during this full moon. A woman who lives in a separate apartment in the same house as mine, kept coming around to my apartment these past couple days looking for me to initiate a hook up. I could tell she was very fertile, because likewise, a man is also attuned to a woman’s sexual fitness. All men are most attracted to women at their peak fertile period. The woman’s lips become redder, her skin glows, her pheromones are probably full blast, and she looks her absolute best versus all other stages of her ovulatory cycle.
So this woman kept coming around my apartment waiting for me to initiate.

Apparently female energy vampires, despite their hunger for sexual energy, are too shy to actually ask men if they want to fuck.
He drew the obvious lesson from this terrifying experience involving a women who talked to him a couple of times when he was very horny.
So my fellow SR brethren, be warned of women who attempt to steal your essence and seed. Your power and mental clarity is diminished in each sexual act you perform with her whether it occurs in the sheets or merely in your head. … I think I understand the term succubus better now than ever.
But women don’t just want your, er, seed, he warned his fellow non-masturbators. They want your psychic energy as well!
[W]oman are reading both your sexual and spiritual indicators which are likely communicated in your magnetic / auric field. Thus when a woman attempts to lure your sexual or mental attention towards her, she is literally withdrawing energy from both your spiritual and physical body. …
And although perhaps women are not consciously aware of their talent at reading indicators of men’s physical and spiritual fitness, it is still a language in which all women are highly attuned. Once more, choose who you give attention to wisely for there is a literal energetic extrication occurring on both the mental and physical planes!
Damn, ladies! What gives? I didn’t know any of this stuff.
I’m putting tinfoil over my junk just in case.

IT DID!!!

IIRC, wasn’t he also responsible for popularising circumcision, and also trying to get like… a complete clitoral removal to be a thing?
Yep, they talk about it on this page. I’m not going to quote it though, it’s just ridiculous.
Maybe it’s not bad that millenials are apparently “killing cereal”, eh?
@Robert
Dave Sim would fit right in with the manosphere, if he hasn’t already become a part of it. He calls women “voids” in one of his comics, which is just a letter away from an incel’s preferred term. He also appears to think that there is some sort of oppression of men, so the MRAs would like him.
@Naglfar, Robert:
I lived in Kitchener-Waterloo for several years, and not long after the breakup of Dave Sim and Deni Loubert. She would go off to found Renegade Press, taking all of the non-Cerebus comics with her because she had most of the business sense of the pair. She was also later involved with Friends of Lulu, an organization dedicated to generating more involvement of women in comics, as readers and writers.
Believe me, in K-W of the mid-80s and the black and white comics explosion of the time, Dave Sim was legendary… and not entirely for good reasons. He also seemed to get worse and worse as time went on and he stewed in his own juices more, though that may have just been him deciding he didn’t have to hide it anymore. Hard to tell.
There was a reason I stopped reading Cerebus, despite appreciating Sim’s actions in helping bring other independent comics writers to light. Give me Larry Marder’s Tales of the Beanworld any day.
