Below are some links to a ton of books and other useful materials, taken from this Reddit post from the original SR subreddit.
Additionally, here is a link to another original Reddit post entitled “Key quotes from books and deeper research”. It’s a great starting point to understanding the negative physiological effects of PMO (Porn, Masturbation and Orgasm) and the contrasting positive effects one can receive by retaining. I will copy the quotes down below.
Here are the links to the book collection:

Quotes (copied from above reddit post):
“Many who are self-taught far excel the doctors, masters, and bachelors of the most renowned universities.” Ludwig von Mises
“he is inactive, indifferent, and destitute of energy. The lymphatic temperament is marked in him by his insensibility, his apathy, no less than by the delicacy of his flesh, and the whiteness of his skin. He has preserved from infancy the disposition given by feebleness, to be excited by the least cause: hence he is timid and pusillanimous and cowardly. Devoid of any internal feeling which renders the soul gay, he is morose and wearisome. He is destitute of those feelings which attach man to man and render one capable of attachment, love, and devotion. He lives, he vegetates only for himself: he is a perfect egotist: if he has any sentiments they are those of envy or hatred: in fact they are repulsive sentiments: but most frequently he has none or they are very slight. (…)
His intelligence is but moderate and he is never known to conceive or execute great ideas. This picture is not drawn from the imagination; it is the result of long continued observations at all periods, in all places, and upon all kinds of eunuchs. (…)
It is not uncommon to see onanists affected with a complete state of marasmus: their frame is reduced to a skeleton and presents in anticipation a picture of the state in which death will soon place them.(…)
In the morning he rises from his bed with difficulty: during the day he is idle, stupid, and indolent, and pursues his avocations without any spirit. If he goes up stairs, or ascends a hill, his heart beats forcibly, and he pants very much.(…)
Young men, who previously showed considerable vivacity of mind and aptitude for study, become, after being addicted to this habit, stupid, and incapable of applying themselves (…)
she had been in the habit of seeing boys from ten to twelve years old; that since she had returned home, she had had no opportunity, and had indulged in self-pollution. In vain did her parents try to wean her from this vice (…) But a horrid inclination soon appeared: she now desired to see her parents dead, and even to murder them.(…)
in a young man, twenty years old, who, indulging in these excesses for several years, gradually lost his mental faculties, became averse to even his relatives and dearest friends, and finally fell into a most perfect state of dementia. The relative frequency of this form of mental alienation in onanists has been pointed out in France by Esquirol, and in Norway by Holst. (…)
that the removal of one testicle from an animal, whatever may be its species, may produce atrophy, or some alteration in the lobe of the cerebellum, on the side opposite to the testicle removed.(!) (…)
Segalas, who produced erections of the penis in Guinea pigs, by introducing a stylet into the cerebellum, caused ejaculations by pushing this instrument into the spinal column, near the lumbar region. (…) he therefore concluded that the lower part of the spinal marrow acts on the secretory and excreting seminal apparatus, as the cerebellum acts on the genital sense.(…)
1839 Treatise on the diseases produced by Onanism, masturbation, self-pollution and other excesses
(Quick review: a big one with plenty of recorded cases and many observations from doctors, what’s important to note is at the beginning of the book it is stated that no one even denies the damage of masturbation, it was common knowledge (!!!) amongst doctors from all nations, groups, religions, the question is only how much damage can be done by it)
“Lower forms of sexual activity insult the Divine Shakti and obtain the Retribution of Nature. Nature assures that these “fall down to the nature of demons.” (Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita) Basically, if you repeatedly break moral law concerning sex, your life becomes darker and less successful on all levels. Then one ends up becoming sexually perverted. Most human sorrow, and all human sexual perversion is the result of repeatedly breaking sexual moral law and indulging in illicit sex. On the larger front, a part of the process is that all of society becomes chaotic*, and Nature, itself, is violated. (…)
How the westerner dreams he is qualified to improve ancient dharma is a great mystery. Is it because we have nuclear waste? Or is it the “palm pilot?” Is it the holy automobile? Is it because of the sterile and dangerous hell-realms we call our cities? Is it because we have succeeded in destroying family and community? Is this superiority demonstrated by our marked consumption of anti-depressants? Our materialism? Are these what make westerners superior and able to “improve” the ancient dharma? Who knows.(…)
Earnest effort to know and practice the ancient dharma does bear real fruit. (…)
In the astral you can’t hide your real state. Most men at night run all around the planes with erections on. (…) Realize that even a moderate Restrainer is bound for glory. And a serious Restrainer will naturally become a mogul, saint, or legend.(…) It is almost impossible to achieve celibacy if you drink any caffeine – even a little bit. Westerners attempting celibacy are generally ignorant of this detail.(…)
All ancient cultures, where life moved slowly and people observed things, did not miss the fact that in the male orgasm something is lost and given up. They also did not miss the fact that this loss has a tremendous effect on the male.(…)
Since the orgasm has this negative effect on males, its avoidance has the opposite effect. By storing up sexual energy a man becomes stronger, healthier, and more vital. He becomes more ambitious too and creative in doing good. He becomes more patient and successful with people. And he develops stamina and endurance to see his works through to conclusions. So the sexually restrained male becomes more successful in general. Beyond that, he even develops occult power to influence things by sheer thought and will.
There seems to be a soft limit on characters for a post, so I’m including the rest of the quotes in the comments.

1957 Science Discovers the Physiological Value of Continence
(Quick review: An amazing overview of the values of continence that begins with dozens upon dozens of doctors and scientists agreements on the topic. Coupled with all the other data, the conclusions are quite clear, but that typa a guy who always goes “whos gonna read this?” is the same typa guy who will say “where’s the science bro? Where’s the science?” Certainly not in the news.)
"When driven by this desire, men develop keenness of imagination, courage, will-power, persistence, and creative ability unknown to them at other times. So strong and impelling is the desire for sexual contact that men freely run the risk of life and reputation to indulge it. When harnessed, and redirected along other lines, this motivating force maintains all of its attributes of keenness of imagination, courage, etc., which may be used as powerful creative forces in literature, art, or in any other profession or calling, including, of course, the accumulation of riches. (…)
I discovered, from the analysis of over 25,000 people, that men who succeed in an outstanding way, seldom do so before the age of forty, and more often they do not strike their real pace until they are well beyond the age of fifty. This fact was so astounding that it prompted me to go into the study of its cause most carefully, carrying the investigation over a period of more than twelve years.
This study disclosed the fact that the major reason why the majority of men who succeed do not begin to do so before the age of forty to fifty, is their tendency to DISSIPATE their energies through over indulgence in physical expression of the emotion of sex. The majority of men never learn that the urge of sex has other possibilities, which far transcend in importance, that of mere physical expression. The majority of those who make this discovery, do so after having wasted many years at a period when the sex energy is at its height, prior to the age of forty-five to fifty. This usually is followed by noteworthy achievement."
1937 Think And Grow Rich
(Quick review: This book that inspired so many people and led them to success has a chapter dealing with sex transmutation and/or using the urge for sex in a creative endeavour. The book mentions the obvious but also ties into the more “mystical” aspects of reality: the sixth sense and luck)
"Many people have told – and I also believe it – that I am full of energy and enthusiasm, and that I am by no means weak in mind; some even accuse me of strength bordering on obstinacy. Nevertheless there is still bodily and mental ill-health as a legacy of the past. And yet when compared with my friends, I may call myself healthy and strong. If even after twenty years of sensual enjoyment, I have been able to reach this state, how much better off should I have been if I had kept myself pure during those twenty years as well? It is my full conviction, that if only I had lived a life of unbroken Brahmacharya all through, my energy and enthusiasm would have been thousandfold greater and I should have been able to devote them all to the furtherance of my country’s cause as my own. If an imperfect Brahmachari like myself can reap such benefit, how much more wonderful must be the gain in power – physical, mental, as well as moral – that unbroken Brahmacharya can bring to us. (…)
Selected writings of Mahatma Gandhi
(Quick review: In this book, Gandhi mentions his Brahmacharya and the immense benefits it provided him that were recognized by those around him. Though he was not a muscular, big man, he nevertheless showed immense strength and endurance, courage and charisma)
