It used to be called Movember and was meant to highlight mens sexual health. Testicular and prostate cancer.
Not ejaculating can increase the risk of prostate cancer and reduces the chance of you spotting testicular cancer lumps.
So people have switched from a healthy activity and awareness campaign to a stupid, unhealthy and pointless campaign.
Well done.
They’re different things. Movember still exists. NNN started as a meme evolving from the nofap movement only because of alliteration.
your reminder that NNN was created because the adherents thought it would give them magical powers.
thing is a mental illness top to bottom
Like if youre still a virgin when you turn 30?
There was a crazy semen retention subreddit that was just filled with paragraphs about how not cumming gave them super powers.
It was very weird.
It’s almost cultlike, very unsettling.
kinda. IIRC some greentext 4chan anon said it gave them superhuman concentration which kicked it off.
Probably it just meant they concentrated normally without jerking off 10 times a day
The “nofap movement” are a bunch of incels with cancerous prostates.
And even more cancerous subredit
I quite liked the idea of Movember when I was younger, it seemed like a neat idea to grow a mustache over the month with some of your homies.
Nowadays I have a beard thanks to the lockdowns and the reduced shame of it looking weird at the start so no need for Movember anymore.
So my protest of NNN by jacking it more than usual is actually healthy? Fuck yeah, ima go get healthy right now!
And it seems to be part of this strange anti-pleasure right wing campaign to use youtube to brainwash gen alpha into being obsessively homophobic in the most petty and pathetic way possible to the point that people start thinking YOU’RE gay, and have fragile masculinity by dividing 50% of the human population into greek letter categories unironically, setting things up so they’re guaranteed to become incels due to the romanticization of sexual ignorance and really long abstinence periods, so they can then get rich blaming their inability to get laid on something something gays something something feminazis™ to get them riled up and more importantly get their paranoid karen moms to donate to their incel cults.
Thanks for the context lol I was like wtf is nnn?
Their actual reward: increased risk of prostate cancer
I guess also feeling like they have self control or just toughing it out.
“haha you failed” well someone had to keep your girlfriend happy
destroyed
Nuttin’
I mean I passed but that was more out of depression than actually trying to stick to it.
Welcome back to Super Semen December
Destroy Depression December
Gotta take them wins when you can.
Also why is it so often the people who appear most awesome on the surface who suffer from horrible shit like that. Your memes are top notch and I hope your days will be better soon.
I’ve been through depression and that shit sucks.
I’ll just fold it under my Locktober win.
It is what it is. Thanks though <3
I’m glad that you’re doing better now buddy.
To be fair covid sucks. I’m still exhausted all the time.
I was getting better then I got way worse. I hate it. I just want a burgerrrrrrrrrrrr.
I bought into the propaganda and tried it hoping that it would cure my pr0n addiction- but on day 6 I got extremely horny and am currently relapsing so hard that I’m now wasting entire afternoons from 1 to 11 committing war crimes against enough sperm to fill a water bottle, depriving my body of precious water and protein and making it interfere even more with my sleep, social and homework schedules than it already did. I completely gave up on it when I saw the edgelords making fun of people who failed and thinking “ooh it’s gonna give us levitation powers or something!!1”
NNNothing

The reward is the giant nut you get on Dec 1st.
You only need like a week of not cumming to get a huge load and potential increased sensitivity back. Unless you’re a chronic masturbator with death grip, in which case a month would probably be better lol
Nah your reward is something you reap throughout the month, it’s more pleasurable sessions with your favorite dildo because having not come in a while really heightens the experience
I’m serious, it does
Man 5 people really need to open their minds (and dildholes) huh? Wankers ;)
I don’t take it personally, they don’t know what they’re missing out on
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.”
“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
i can confidently not masturbate for the rest of my life and still not drop below this lifetime average.
Fucking dress me up in blue and yellow spandex because I’m going to be invincible.
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.
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.
but with the masturbation part
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
-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.
Yeah I don’t get the hate on a harmless challenge, especially the downvotes here lmao, real mature
Careful now, this is Lemmy. We are only good at complaining about the system and government.
