It's from the ABC, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

And it's hosted by Aslan Pahari, who maybe you know as the hello, my friend guy from TikTok.

He's really great.

And each episode of Assassins tells the story of one of history's most shocking assassinations, from Abraham Lincoln to Tupac.

And there's some science in some of the episodes, too.

Like for 3,000 years, the death of Pharaoh Ramses III was a mystery until some scientists came along and solved the riddle.

You can find Assassins wherever you get your podcasts.

Hi, I'm Wendy Zuckerman.

You're listening to Science Versus.

Today on the show, we're pitting facts against fapping.

That's right.

With No Nut November just around the corner, we thought it was a great time to ask, what are the benefits of saving your seed and not ejaculating?

And this is something that former tax accountant and current comedian and also my friend, Saren Jayamana, has been curious about for a little while now.

Hi, Saren.

How do you feel about being introduced as a sort of semen retention curious?

Now, for those who are uninitiated, semen retention, I've now become very familiar with this term, but it basically means you retain your semen, you keep it in, you don't release it.

When did you start getting curious about semen retention?

Is ejaculating leaking energy?

Yes.

Giving it to a sock.
