Kevin Gates is still devoted to keeping it all inside, at least when it comes to his “life force.”
The Baton Rouge rapper made a return visit to Million Dollaz Worth of Game for an episode that dropped on Sunday (January 28). During the interview, he revealed that he’s still on the semen retention “journey” that he spoke about when he visited the program back in 2021.
Gates said he has been on his mission for the past five years, though he wasn’t a purist about it.
“You gon’ release every now and then,” he explained. “You gon’ have a wet dream here and there. You don’t beat yourself up about it, because anything in your body that need to come out gon’ naturally come out.”

Kevin Gates explained that as part of his regimen, he avoided pornography and masturbation. And he said that he keeps to the program even during sex.
“Even when I’m with a woman, once she get off, I’m done,” he continued.
The “2 Phones” spitter said he had been reluctant to talk about the topic for fear of his comments about it getting turned into “clickbait.”
Among the benefits, Gates claimed, were that “it makes a man more cognitive in his life,” as well as better skin.
“You look at men and they release a lot, their skin don’t glow,” he elaborated. “They skin almost look grey.”
Gates took credit for what he said was the increased popularity of semen retention — a popularity that he said dated back to his earlier Million Dollaz… appearance.
“I tell men that everybody laughed at me when I first talked about it on y’all podcast,” he said. “Now everybody talking about, they do it now. Man, y’all know where y’all got it from.”
On the music side, Kevin Gates’ most recent album The Ceremony came out this past Friday (January 26).
“The Ceremony feels more triumphant than much of [Gates’] past work, as if he’s turned a corner and begun to settle into a life he feels he can be truly proud of,” wrote HipHopDX critic Taylor Rubright in a 3.9 out of 5 review.
“Some lyrical missteps and a few duds aside, The Ceremony mostly succeeds as a cohesive, singular body of work.”
Kevin Gates says a lot of crazy sh!t, so I’m hesitant to believe him. Are there any peer-reviewed medical studies that actually support these claims? Obviously it’s not healthy to crank it all the time, but I can’t imagine there’s ultimately much difference between never doing it and doing it in healthy moderation.
Keep it to 1-2 times a week or less and you’re good. Not saying you won’t be if do more, but it may improve your productivity and overall mood/energy. No superpowers. As for testosterone, studies seem to confirm that levels peak after about a week, and then go back to normal.
Semen retention leads to prostate cancer. As usual, everything in moderation is fine and extremes are never good.
That has been proven false.
No it doesn’t bro You know God didn’t plan for us to lay with women we were never supposed to fuck if you really want to know that is one sin that leads to death
Semen retention is EASY when you’re a butch dyke!
All gates is doing is what God will really was for us if you know whatnim saying we were never supposed to lay with woman fucking is one of the sins that lead to death if you didnt know like blasphemy they both lead to death there are sins that don’t lead to death but just letting you know i understand gates tho he just doing as God wanted from us and getting closer to God in the process just like me I’m close to God I walk with God a learned from Him some things and did what he told me and I received my life into my hands I have immortality and gates is my only rival the way it looks not really my rival but my brother from another but used to be the same in another but yeah I see how he doing tho keep going we gonna leave this earth behind yall sleeping Good out here for real
