I honestly think this is what got me hooked on black licorice when I was a kid, way back when some brands of the candy still had the real stuff in it.

A Seinfeld episode about NoFap would be hilarious.

[–] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They would use some euphemism like, “have you been…. partaking?”

[–] Tervell@hexbear.net 32 points 1 month ago (3 children)

they actually already came up with one, "are you still... master of your domain"

Yeah "The Contest" is one of the best episodes of the whole series. I love when Kramer comes in, slaps money on the table and says "I'm OUT!"

[–] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

George becoming a hand model because he has never done any work in his life is a pretty damned good bit, NGL

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

Different episode

[–] Poogona@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

Love that one, George starts that episode out unemployed and is like "I'm a college grad, there has to be something unique I can offer the world" and instead of something that comes from his personal expertise or experience, he discovers that what he has is his hands lol

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

The Abstinence which is what the screenshot is from as well as The Contest where the plot is about them having a not jacking off contest after George's mom walked in on him

[–] JayTreeman@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Lol he did! There's an episode about it! (9th episode of season 8)

[–] Tower@lemm.ee 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He was not master of his domain...

[–] JayTreeman@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

I can't believe I forgot about that episode! There's two that deal with this subject!

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Enter the hyperbolic chamber on no fap and unlock god ki vegeta-stare

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Sorry for seriousposting, but there is one good thing that comes from NoFap, and that is opposing the colloquial assumption that "you just need to get laid" or "you need to just go rub one off", the reductive and idiotic assumption that people's behavior is entirely traceable to how much they do the sex thing. You'd think that we'd gotten rid of the last intact vestiges of Freudianism decades ago.

Or am I wrong and my demi brain is the exception to the rule?

[–] Tervell@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

I feel like unfortunately a lot of no-fappers are coming at this from a "I need to stop jacking off so I can get laid" angle, so it still comes back to sex, they love talking about how it made them more confident when talking to women.

It would certainly be nice if there were communities that actually did this though. We unironically need to have secular monastic orders, say what you will about organized religion as an institution but monks and nuns were a great idea.

[–] Venat@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I think NoFap is a reaction to porn addiction. In that sense, NoFap appears to be about abandoning the simulation of emotional, romantic, and sexual intimacy and its hijacking of the pleasure centers of the brain and mind's self-deception of having romantic intimacy via said media.

I don't know much of it, but it just seems that people in the modern era struggle with respect for women/men/people outside their sexual dominions, romantic prospects, self-respect, rediscovery of the self, emotional growth, and maturity and find bizarre communities like this in their journey via self-help.

Look at me now, I'm unalienated from myself and from others! but by identifying and compartmentalizing sex/porn addiction as the cause.

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Secular monasticism is a great idea. Probably even better than any "leftist hustle culture" that grinds for the revolution.

There's something to be said for a mind-over-matter approach, cultivating mental fortitude. But I feel that centering it on the sexual inclination is defeating the point of it. Instead of the focus being on the self that is broadly strengthened, it is on sexuality as a demon that must be tamed.

The inversion of NoFap just reifies all the same assumptions.

[–] MrPiss@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Generally agree except for evaluating things with post nut clarity. Some people need to be clear headed when making relationship decisions so that they don't do something stupid because they're horny.

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

This sounds like like a generalization of the Mac Lethal (Texts from Bennett) bit, "Jacc off now so u can fucc later".

Do men not have moments of clarity throughout the week when they haven't just ejaculated?

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 month ago

90 days? Unless he's planning on fighting Freiza after that time, there's no reason he would need to be that powerful.
