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.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 55 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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?

[–] NoSpiritAnimal@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 6 points 10 months ago

It's almost cultlike, very unsettling.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 14 points 10 months ago

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.

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

And even more cancerous subredit

[–] coyootje@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago

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.

[–] ElBarto@sh.itjust.works 10 points 10 months ago

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(TM) 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?

[–] Dettweiler42@lemmyonline.com 36 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Their actual reward: increased risk of prostate cancer

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

I guess also feeling like they have self control or just toughing it out.

I mean I passed but that was more out of depression than actually trying to stick to it.

To be fair covid sucks. I'm still exhausted all the time.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 5 points 10 months ago

I was getting better then I got way worse. I hate it. I just want a burgerrrrrrrrrrrr.

[–] RQG@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 4 points 10 months ago

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.

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”

The reward is the giant nut you get on Dec 1st.

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 12 points 10 months ago

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

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.world -2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] the_post_of_tom_joad@sh.itjust.works -3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Man 5 people really need to open their minds (and dildholes) huh? Wankers ;)

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

I don't take it personally, they don't know what they're missing out on
