Sperm Retention? Thoughts?

For the longest, my boyfriend has been unconsciously holding back his orgasm. He said that when he gets the feeling like he’s about to orgasm, he holds it and then it goes away and never comes back. Now, you would think that he would dislike this, because what guy doesn’t want to get off? But he said that he enjoys pleasing more than being pleased and that the actual act of having sex, is even better than orgasming.

I still wanted to understand why he did this. He constantly said “because it isn’t time yet.” Or “I don’t want to lose a part of me.” And I’m like what are you talking about? So he tells me about this video that he watched, basically talking about how when men ejaculate, it’s kind of soul draining and it shortens your lifespan.. because men are “creating life” in a sense. And that sperm is for one thing, and that is to make babies so by doing this, you are not wasting sperm... I was researching a lot because I’m like, wtf is this? I’ve never heard of this before.

Come to find out, it’s called “Sperm Retention.” It’s basically the act of a man withholding his cum for better pleasure. I’ve read that it has numerous affects. Some, are even unbelievable. So I did a little more digging. It’s actually an ancient Taoism practice that’s been around for centuries and it takes a lot of practice because most men can’t even pull out correctly, let alone try to hold an orgasm. Yet, my partner does it unintentionally and has been doing it since he started having sex. He never knew what it was, he just knew that it felt good.

Don’t get me wrong, he still orgasms from time to time. But he stated that every time he came, he felt drained. By using this method he can stay hard for hours on end (and I’m not being dramatic) and he said (as well as the many articles I’ve read) that by not cumming, he still has an orgasm. It’s just a more intense pleasure that is more about the mind than the body. And he can keep feeling this intense pleasure for as long as he likes.

Sometimes it’s frustrating because I feel as though I’m not doing my job correctly or that something is wrong with me and he’s not getting off, yet this entire time he has and he enjoys this method better.

What are your thoughts on this? Does your partner do this as well? Or do you think this is just bullshit? I’m super curious because I’m just finding out about this. I’m kind of torn between it being real and it being bullshit lol
