Man, yall really hate men who want to take a fun self-control challenge and maybe end an unhealthy relationship with pornography, huh?
It's still a "fun self-control challenge" if you just stop watching porn for the month. Nothing wrong with that. But the masturbation part is just silly religious stuff with a dash of prostate cancer.
I'd be fascinated to see all the medical data of men who suddenly developed prostate cancer in December because they didn't wank in November.
It's same data of men who suddenly develop lung cancer after their first month of smoking. Doesn't mean it won't come back and bite you in the long term.
"In all, men who averaged 4.6–7 ejaculations a week were 36% less likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer before the age of 70 than men who ejaculated less than 2.3 times a week on average."
- a havard article, based on an australian study.
Note the word averaged. Given this quote (I'm not sure if the study gets more specific), you could just wank a bit more the other months.
Funny, because I never mentioned masturbation. I don't think anyone except the most die-hard members of the NNN/NoFap/etc. community would argue that masturbation in itself is wrong or unhealthy. The original "goal" of the challenge was to curb pornography consumption. I think most people would agree that the spirit of NNN is a lot closer to "no porn november" than "no ejaculation november."
It's called no NUT november though. Not no porn november
Religious? No one I know is doing this because of fucking religion. It's supposed to be a challenge, and not nutting is one.
Well, yes, if you ignore the whole "masturbation = bad" thing that's part of the movement. That equation is firmly rooted in religion.
-14 wow. It's totally understandable that NNN memes are becoming staler over the years, but there are a lot of people who struggle with porn consumption and I think it's a better idea to stop masturbation for 1+ months and after transitioning over to masturbation w/o porn.
It's like talking about quitting weed around a stoner. They panic.
Careful now, this is Lemmy. We are only good at complaining about the system and government.
Yeah I don't get the hate on a harmless challenge, especially the downvotes here lmao, real mature
