If you’re reading this, you already sense it, something is wrong with modern men. They are softer, more distracted and more lost than any generation before them. They chase pleasure, not purpose. They seek validation, not mastery. They are consumers, not creators.
I’ve spent years studying manhood through somatic practices, semen retention and the ascetic path. I’ve counselled and coached over 100 high-performing men, including C-suite executives, athletes, and leaders who conquer, dominate and excel in their lives by living the ascetic alpha principles.
Here’s the brutal truth: Modern men are weak because they’ve abandoned the disciplines that forge true strength.
The Five Betrayals of Modern Manhood
These are the cancers rotting men from the inside:
1. Pornography – The Synthetic Substitute for Discipline
Porn is the ultimate dopamine trap. It hijacks your focus, drains your vitality, and rewires your brain to crave simulated conquests instead of real ones. A man who cannot control his sexual energy is a slave, not a sovereign.
2. Lust – The Leak in Your Life Force
Lust isn’t just about sex, it’s a mental parasite. It distracts you from your mission, saps your energy, and keeps you chasing cheap thrills instead of enduring power.
3. Excuses – The Currency of Cowards
Modern men blame their failures on society, genetics or “mental health” instead of taking radical responsibility. Weak men explain; strong men execute.
4. Attachment – The Neediness of the Unworthy
Attachment to comfort, validation, or safety is the mark of a man who fears suffering. True strength is forged in discomfort. If you need constant reassurance, you’re not a leader, you’re a follower.
5. Distraction – The Thief of Momentum
Endless scrolling, video games and empty entertainment keep men busy but unproductive. A distracted man is a dying man.
The Path Back to Strength
The solution isn’t complicated, it’s just hard, really fucking hard.
Semen Retention – Stop leaking your life force. Channel it into creativity, focus, and power.
Discipline – Train your body to endure discomfort. No growth happens in comfort.
Silence & Solitude – Modern men fear being alone with their thoughts. Sit in silence daily.
Purpose Over Pleasure – Pleasure is fleeting. Purpose is eternal. Build something that outlasts you.
Accountability Brotherhood – Weak men isolate. Strong men form tribes that demand excellence.
This Is Your Wake-Up Call
If you’re tired of being soft, if you’re sick of wasting your potential, then the time for excuses is over.

P.S. If this resonated, share it with one man who needs to hear it. The world needs fewer boys and more kings.
