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

Summary

The speaker attempts a 30-day semen retention challenge, which he considers one of the most insane challenges he has ever tried. The challenge, conducted under the supervision of trained professionals at Harvard University, aims to test the effects of semen retention on the speaker's body, particularly his testosterone levels. Throughout the challenge, the speaker experiences various emotions, including frustration, anger, and temptation, but ultimately perseveres and reaches the 30-day mark. The challenge's results show an increase in the speaker's total testosterone (from 476 to 573) and free testosterone (from 40.7 to 56.8). The speaker attributes this increase to the semen retention challenge, which he believes has helped him raise his testosterone levels naturally.
