No flappers BTFO! >ealthy men should just say no to “No Nut November,” an annual, month-long event focused around abstaining from occasionalmasturbation. Although proponents claim that the trend benefits men’ssexual and mental healththere is no research or data that suggests abstaining from masturbation or ejaculation improves focus, booststestosterone, or reduces compulsive behaviors. Meanwhile, there is mounting evidence that the “No Fap” movement empowers misogynistic hate groups.
“I think ‘No Nut November’ is largely anti-science,” psychophysiologist and neuroscientist Nicole Prause, toldFatherly. “The new designation, and it is hardly a tradition, appears supported most by the for-profitNoFap company,some religious organizations, and groups like Proud Boys. These are largely known for their very young male members and misogyny.”
While some people have attempted to use No Nut November to raise money and awareness for prostate cancer, there is at least some data suggesting that men who ejaculate regularly are at lower risk of prostate cancer. Studies have also suggested correlations between ejaculation and improved memory, deeper sleep, improved immune cell function, and decreased inflammation, Prause says. Still, the evidence in favor of ejaculation has not stopped No Nut November from spreading the seed of misinformation all over the internet, thanks to online echo chambers like Reddit and Jow Forums. For instance, proponents of No Nut November often claim that withholding ejaculation increases fertility, despite the fact that studies suggest the opposite.
“There is no evidence that not orgasming for a month will influence sperm motility factors any differently than abstaining for a few days,” Prause says. “Abstaining for years is associated with decreased sperm motility, not better.”
hat’s not to say that keeping your hands off yourself for a month is always a bad decision. Katie Ziskind, a marriage and family therapist, says that abstinence for a month might help some men get a handle on porn addiction, or for other social reasons. “If you’re refraining from sex in order to gain a deeper spiritual connection, you may find benefits,” Ziskind told Fatherly. “You may find benefits if you were using sex as an addiction and were using sex to numb out through a variety of one night stands.”
Scientists balk at even this claim, however. “There are zero random-assignment clinical trials supporting abstinence as a part of treatment for compulsive sexual behaviors,” Prause says. In a word—there’s no reason not to Nut in November.

It's a fucking exercise of willpower, holy shit. That's all it fucking is. Anybody who said anything else is a retard, and it's mendacious to attack only the position from the least tenable angles.

You know, there might be a middle ground between this all or nothing approach to masturbation.
Xavier Clark
>mounting evidence that the “No Fap” movement empowers misogynistic hate groups Big laffs. The fact that they're THIS fucking scared of it just makes things all the more interesting.
>Scientists balk at even this claim, however. “There are zero random-assignment clinical trials supporting abstinence as a part of treatment for compulsive sexual behaviors,” I know for a FACT this is bullshit. If you had a sex addiction or masturbation compulsion you would do cognitive behavior therapy which is all about identifying negative behavior patterns and substituting them with healthier ones. Which is exactly the point of this No Nut November shit. Try not jerking it to porn, substitute with going out more, or working out more, or reading. Self improvement in general.
They way they recoil from this is like having regular newspapers write articles about how Sober October is a misogynist nazi movement and how we should all stay hammered year round because there's no science supporting teetotaling being good. What the actual fuck?
Ever since it switched to No Nut November, it's like No Fap November never existed. Like how wasn't this such an obvious name? I'm actually a little pissed it was ever fap instead of nut and that I remember it. It will always be in my memory. This shit needs to get mandela'd and forgotten.
Easton Ramirez
Fap was whiter, and the internet was less blacked when it became popular. Answer enough for you?
Levi White
>some people argue it could improve you health >but counterpoint: misogyny women literally do not belong anywhere near science, not that you can call psychology that
Owen Martinez
>scared Why would they be scared when the facts are on their side?
Matthew Barnes
No, I'm just pissed that it's stained in my memory. It feels improper, like it doesn't belong.
Why did such a retarded meme like No Fap November become a thing? If you wanted to improve people's lives, they should have made it Go To Gym November.

Have these faggots never heard of the Streisand effect? I never thought of No Fap as anything until all the sudden """"scientific studies"""" started popping up like,

Jeremiah Rodriguez
No, goyim! You must allow our weapon of pornography to destroy you! It's anti-Semitic not to COOOOOOM!
It is really weird,but anyone who works out is going to realize how beneficial it is. I work out like a faggot if I light off every day. If I can hold off for two days I have noticeably more intense workouts with no effort.
It was originally No Shave November, which got co-opted by the normies into "Male Health Month" which devolved into No Fap November
Julian Perez
Meh. I'm actually sympathetic to the idea, but if miraculous claims were made, then that's moronic. Just like I favor legalizing weed, but those who think it can cure cancer or make you immortal are idiots.
Chase Wright
When retards think watching porn and jerking off OCCASIONALLY is the same as watching porn and jerking off 3-4 times a day.
Like all things moderation is key.
If you nut 3-4 times a day and watch porn every time you are ruining our dopamine receptors and you are conditioning your brain to only get aroused to porn.
you fucking cumbrains cope mechanism is getting out of hand.
Daniel Lee
>there is no research or data that suggests abstaining from masturbation or ejaculation improves focus, booststestosterone well that is patently false, i wrote a paper on testosterone and the pioneer of injecting testosterone used to inject dog semen into his veins, they found out later this is very bad, but that this is also what happens when you abstain from ejaculation. small amounts of semen find their way into your bloodstream. and this ofc boosts your testosterone levels and has obvious androgenic effects. This is babby's first research assignment and can be easily found with minimal googling.
Hudson Kelly
That's right, everybody. Listen to (((their))) "scientists."
Christopher Gray
Science is generally not accurate about shit like this.

>but if miraculous claims were made, then that's moronic. Every single forum and board for nofap is full of boyscouts that believe touching yourself is pure evil and abstaining gives you literal superpowers.
Alexander Foster
>psychology of boys and men >not a boy or a man Wow, sexist much?
But seriously, I didn't know you could get a job as opposition researcher against the entire male half of the species.
Jason Wilson
>There are zero random-assignment clinical trials supporting abstinence as a part of treatment for compulsive sexual behaviors See what they did there? Since there are no studies, it must mean it's false. We have plenty of ancedotao evidence to give it some interest but of course (((they))) won't make a study on it. Fuck it, anyone can conduct their own expirment by doing it themselves and see the results.
"The specifics of this poorer executive functioning include: impulsivity [131,132], cognitive rigidity that impedes learning processes or the ability to shift attention [120,133,134], poor judgment and decision making [130,135], interference of working memory capacity [130], deficits in emotion regulation, and excessive preoccupation with sex [136].
These findings are reminiscent of other behavioral addictions (such as pathological gambling) and the behavior in substance dependencies [137]. Some studies directly contradict these findings [58], but there may be some limitations in methodology (for example, small sample size)."
William Evans
Okay, what can I say. To me, this is like some hard-core conservative magazine attacking smoking weed because some, even most say it does shit it doesn't. That's exactly the equivalent of this. Yellow journalism at it's finest.
Carter Price
This is so sad. Alexa, play Despacito.
Isaac Carter
You have to be a special kind of stupid to claim not touching your dick is a money making scheme as opposed to the alternative.
This leads to stage three—“Preoccupation/Anticipation”—frequently referred to as craving. The neuroplastic impairments expand beyond the mesocortical dopamine pathway into other regions of the prefrontal cortex responsible for motivation, self-regulation/self-control, delayed reward discounting, and other cognitive and executive functions [43,45]. Goldstein and Volkow [48] developed the Impaired Response Inhibition and Salience Attribution (I-RISA) model to emphasize the importance of this process. The I-RISA model integrates the increased salience of learned drug-related cues (resulting from the aforementioned positive and negative reinforcement of the addictive behavior) with newly developed deficiencies in top-down inhibitory control. This leaves the individual vulnerable to reinstatement of the behavior, and two primary mechanisms have been identified; cue-induced reinstatement and stress-induced reinstatement [43,45]. Numerous neuroimaging studies substantiate this model [49,50], and these impairments are the source behind the “chronic relapsing disorder” element of the medical definition of addiction [11,51].

It's the only logical explanation. I know these fags in lab coats will tell me demons don't exist but they've lost all credibility in my eyes.
Ryan Bell
You're right but almost no one here would say that. There are benefits to self-control, but the idea that your test is going to go up or any of that other shit is just nonsense.
>but the idea that your test is going to go up or any of that other shit is just nonsense incorrect. if you're a habitual coomer then stopping will cause a test increase that peaks around day 7 of nofap

When did normies get brainwashed into just doing anything they see the word “science” attached to. I swear it’s just become totally abstract nowerdays.
Eli Stewart
If I had to guess, """"""article"""""" writers found that including science increases traffic, so they just kept doing it.

obviously (((they))) want you to keep fapping to keep you weak so (((they))) say youll cancer if you dont fap everyday

Their reproducibility rate is low, below 50% low. I believe somewhere in the 30's. Not even their "established theories" should be taken seriously. It's a damn joke nowadays and far from the soldiering mechanism it was born to be.

Oh and on the fucking lie about abstinence not effecting fertility, maybe they can explain why that exact practice is part of Judaism. Hmmmm? Good for the tribe but not the goys, right????
The additives pumped into commercial food supply has rendered our seed cancerous. upticks in cervical cancer, 4/5 cases of anal cancer patients are homosexual males --- if we're not eating homegrown food and drinking well water then we need to empty our balls as often as possible. you nofappers go ahead and enjoy your prostrate cancer
Jose Johnson
>no research or data that suggests abstaining from masturbation or ejaculation improves focus, booststestosterone, or reduces compulsive behaviors Why do ''scientists'' just pretend hundreds and thousands of other research papers doesn't exist anymore? This is just a straight up lie. They could have said that the effect shown in those papers was negligible or they could have said the sample sizes were too small, maybe the people doing the studies were caught faking data in the past so maybe you shouldn't trust their research, but no, it just doesn't exist anymore. Don't think about it, goy.
THAT'S RIGHT GOY COOOM, YOU DON'T WANT MY PORN EMPIRE RUN OUT OF VIEWER RIGHT? AND STOP THINKING ABOUT MAKING FAMILY, THAT IS WASTE OF TIME. PLAY GAME INSTEAD GOY, THAT VIDEO GAME ACHIEVEMENT WILL NOT COMPLETED IT SELF . THATS MY GOOD GOY!

How many shekels did they pay you for this one? The undeniable fact is that it’s addictive. Isn’t that enough reason to avoid it?
Jordan Powell
