Answer:

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 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.

Semen retention is not something specific to non-Muslims.

Allah knows best.
