When did attitudes towards NoFap November change?

[Timaeus Testified]

I've noticed this sentiment popping up in some of my circles: No Nut November is unnatural, and a lack of masturbation can increase your chances of testicular cancer. Therefore, do not participate in No Nut November. Maybe I'm just oblivious, but when did this attitude come about? No Nut November, as far as I can tell, is just an extension of No Shave November, which was just a way to raise awareness of male prostate cancer. And besides, is there really a significant risk of testicular cancer if one stops masturbating for just one month? Do people really have this poor self-control?

Attitudes are changing because of exposure to mentally ill no-fap cultists. These delusional creeps think that masturbation causes mental illness and that if they avoid it they will get super powers and all their problems in life will go away. They are delusional, as am example see this guy who used to do Rainbow Six videos and now spergs on about porn and no fap crap:

These clowns are honestly worthy of a thread. Speaking of which, do we have a No-Fap community thread?

Increasing my risk of testicular cancer and depriving myself of a month of pleasure is a small price to pay to own the libs imo.

There's been contention on this long before no nut november was a meme. I assume it started with the nofap crowd. Then no nut november came along as a meme that's not meant to be taken too seriously but some people took it serious

I thought NoFap November was always for fags like OP?

propaganda from the porn lobby

No Fap November was originally started by a cabal of gay Jewish men as a way to trick straight boys into depriving themselves of sexual release and then take advantage of them in their weakness and turn them gay (and probably Jewish too).

Unfortunately it was quite successful. God rest the souls of our fallen coomrades.

NNN is a good idea in theory - the cancer risk is a meme with no actual valid statistics. A lot of people have very little self control when it comes to nutting and do it 1+ times a day, which is not healthy. Of course you should be nutting but that frequently is a problem. If making it through NNN gives these people some of their self control back, more power to them. But it had better be for the right reasons

What if you masturbate all November, but only edge yourself the entire time?

 

[Zero Day Defense]

NNN cuts into e-girl and porn producer/distributor profits and destabilizes their consumerbases, so they made some shit up about how it and similar memes are actually antisemitic and also how ceaselessly masturbating reduces cancer risk for some reason.

On the other end, the core of NoFap in general was about self control and diversion of energy into healthier ends. Probably at the time that a community coalesced around it did you get people who treated it as community-organized orgasm control play (see "Destroy Dick December" which, if it was seeded into the community consciousness by the aforementioned e-girls and porn workers, is actually a pretty ingenious play).

Wasn't there also an attempt to tie No Nut November to the alt-right, whatever that is, a year or two ago?

Oh look, the Similar threads feature wins the day:

i was gonna say it was a psyop from people pushing porn but other people itt seem to have answered that
i guess all i can add is that its not very overt like a lot of reddit-y kneejerks to things

If i remember correctly, NNN actually used to be just a joke, however last year, bunch of christcucks and autists who seem to think masturbation causes mental illnes or infertility or something actually started to harass and scream at people who didn't "participate" in NNN. Which seems to be the reason why a lot of people hate it now

I agree, to be honest. November is pretty much the most unfunny month due to reddit

Sounds like Hell to me.

I’m pretty sure people got tired out of it by overexposure like any other trend. The public (and Reddit) latched onto it as the latest fad. Consequently, it was shunted from the public eye due to people being burnt out on an entire month turning into some stupid challenge about how to live their lives instead of just… maybe having nuance and trying to limit porn consumption if it becomes a problem.

Like other people have said, it started out as just a joke and a way to fight porn addiction but then some incels and ivermectin chuggers found it and tried to use it to proselytize about how cumming is a sin against god or whatever. Reasonable people didn’t want to be associated with healing crystals and crying about not having a gf so they just entirely dropped it.

It’ll return in some way, though. Just wait five years and we’ll have “No finger February”, where women claim they are able to stop their periods by not masturbating.
