All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

Semen retention is not considered an imitation of the non-Muslims. The forbidden imitation of the non-Muslims is only in matters that are peculiar to them.
