No nut november

November is the month of abstinence from sex, especially sex with yourself. This impulse control challenge was first proposed by bicboi6969696969 on the urbanDictionary.com in 2011. r/NoFap quickly adopted the idea.

People are actually trying it to assert their own self control. What about you?

    I am reminded of a Hilaire Belloc poem:

    The world is full of double beds
    And most delightful maidenheads,
    Which being so, there's no excuse
    For sodomy of self-abuse.

    • That’s a very optimistic view. Thank you Clunk. Rose colored glasses are a refreshing break sometimes.

    The entire idea of No Nut November seems like it was made specifically for certain users of this site. All it does is serve as an excuse for creepstains to talk about their masturbation habits and how short an amount of time they could go without jerking it, probably followed up by some graphic explanation of how much they splooged and how good it felt

    • Well yes. Crazed by sexual deprivation, the undesirables of IIN find great release talking about the starvation of their souls that hunger for human touch.

      But how about you? Are you still having sex with your boyfriend this November?

        • Of course, females are wired to handle sexual deprivation better than males. Hope you are doing okay.

    Sounds like just another stupid trend for people to jump on.
    Was the store out of Tide Pods & powdered cinnamon so someone came up with this?

      No nut November has been around for a few years now, at least. As the post r/nofap (a subreddit for people who want to get over masturbation addiction) does it.

      And an unfortunate number of high schoolers do it, too. I say an unfortunate number because there are actually that many high schoolers who masturbate. Ironically, many of them fail, proving the point: people are so addicted to masturbation that they can't go one month without it.

        99% of people who claim to have "masturbation addiction" are self-diagnosed because of religious belief that bating is bad.

          That's actually not true. A lot of the people on r/nofap, for example, are atheists.

          • Nice contraindication. I like logic.

        • Even Clunk bates sometimes. But, he’s a good man so they will probably let him into heaven anyway.

        To say it's addictive is misleading and seems to portray it in a negative light. Studies have shown that men who ejaculate a few times a week are less likely to develop prostate cancer. It doesn't matter if they ejaculate with a partner during intercourse or alone while masturbating. So if a guy doesn't have a partner then it's probably safe to say masturbation is beneficial. Although just like eating or any other behavior it is possible to over do it.

    I see, so one study that says it may increase the risk in younger men outweighs all the others that say it may be beneficial.
    Ever look up NoFap on Wikipedia?

    "The group's views and efforts to combat pornography addiction have been criticized as simplistic, outdated, and incorrect by neuroscientists, psychologists, and other medical professionals. The purported science behind the group's activities said to come from anti-porn activist Gary Wilson, "an Oregon man with no scientific training or background, who has made a career peddling pseudoscience."

    So give us a worthwhile argument for nofap.
    I was making a point about ejaculating. Induced by any number of actions not limited to fapping.

      Better sex would be a benefit to no fap. Sensitivity definitely goes down when you masterbate constantly. Early onset ED. Friction sores

      I think nofap november is a novel idea. Just the no sex part on top of it is a bit weird.

    I tried and I failed - that is, I failed to finish the job.

    I blame it on the meds.

    The cure is literally to just fuck women. Its better to stop and just do that.

    • Except No Nut November requires abstinence from both fucking people and fucking yourself.

        Thank you for the insightful question. To be fair, I think it can be interpreted both ways.

        My personal feeling is “bad”. An occasional orgasm contributes to psychological health and a robust sense of well being.

        But some people, especially masochists, enjoy enduring the pain. In fact, I once knew a guy that reckoned the destitution became extra exciting when he imagined he was offering up the pain to a deity.

        To be broad minded, we all must realize that the pursuit of happiness takes many forms.

        Again, Ruthie, I honestly feel these topics become more real when you challenge viewpoints with counter arguments that most people fail to think of.
