I believe in energy, and energy retention also through focalising your attention on other things. What you say about stealing energy is also true about all aspect of life. You announce some good news in your life to someone that doesn't have your best interest at heart, you are now giving them permission to focus their energy on envying the good news in your life, creating low vibrational frequencies, directed toward you. That's why fame is always a "crash and burn" concept, the higher the fame the harder the fall.
Anyway for there are countless benefits in not watching porn, I never talk about it because it's a hacking tool for me, to success. You can literally manifest your wildest fucking dreams by harnessing that energy the right way, and becoming the best version of yourself. There is a physical aspect to it, as through moderate abstinence (some call it semen retention) you are sending a signal to your body that you are ready to mate, increasing confidence, testosterone levels, increased energy, better hair follicles, increased immune system, better relationship with your loved ones.
There is also a metaphysical aspect , that would take an entire post of its own, and it's about the sacred power of women. I think there is an ancient tantric belief that women and men can recharge each others "soul batteries" by exchanging energies during the act, anyway story for another time haha.
Thank you for your two cents (actualyy $100 worth words).
I hope many will read them in the times to come.
I do agree about the good news theory (evil eye) and will add that people who claim sovereignty of their soul self are immune.
But, quoting you, that's a subject for another topic.😊
