I recently created a community for the practice of semen retention. It is an ancient practice and has ties to Taoism. For me and others it is largely for the sake of self improvement and spiritual / material progress.

I posted on a new communities forum and the post almost immediately has garnered several downvotes. I’m genuinely confused as to why. The practice is not hurting anyone, nor is it rude or offensive.

    I think people may have just immediately jumped to thinking about it as pseudoscience like sunning your balls or Reddit’s NoFap where people had a habit of exaggerating the effects.

    I wouldn’t sweat a few downvotes though. It’s a niche topic and maybe the right people just haven’t found it yet. It may just take time for your community to grow
