The NoFap Community - And all related autism.

[*Asterisk*]

Did you know that addiction to spanking the monkey is poisoning the minds of an entire generation?

I didn't. But if you did: congratulations, Mr. Kellog. How's the spirit medium you're possessing adjusting to your special diet?

And no, this isn't an elaborate joke.

In 2011, after badly misinterpreting a study from Zhejiang, one Alexander Rhodes was inspired to create the r/NoFap subreddit to help people quit masturbation and quit watching pornography. Nevermind that the benefits of such things are vague and anecdotal. Nevermind that Cracked's David Wong is seen as a serious source on this matter. Nevermind that the whole movement is rooted in science that's been discredited for decades and credible neurologists have long since dismissed the whole thing as nonsense. A movement of 100,000 Reddit nobodies had kicked off, and it wasn't gonna stop for shit!

Thanks to the power of the Internet, 18th Century science based on interpreting the symptoms of untreated STDs has once again found ways to flourish. They've moved from a mere subreddit to their own website. Their forum has subdivisions for everyone from minors to women, and among their numbers they count such luminaries as the bullshit artist who hawked the 4-hour workweek, and everyone's favorite game writer. . . Anthony Burch !

I know this is said pretty often, but I still can't believe I'm the first Kiwi to make a thread on these exceptional individuals.

The only thing I know about NoFap are the parodies that sprung up because of it.

I did nofap for over 12 years and I never got any superpowers so I decided to give up on it.

I always thought that it was supposed to make men so desperate for sex that they would cold approach every woman they encountered because that is what I heard of in the loveshy therapy center

I'm still not sure if this thread fits more in CW or LTC.

Either way, the whole thing's Goddamn ridiculous.

Edit:
I'm pretty sure you meant to type "2" years or 12 "months."

 

[SpessCaptain]

Yes. Because a thread about not fapping is going to become a place where no one powerlevels.

 

[Ruin]

Sounds like some people need to charge their jack off crystals.

 

[DZ 305]

If you have to tell people you don't need to masturbate, you're basically a sexual vegan. Telling people how long you went without masturbating is in essence begging people to give you a medal.
Speaking of telling people, wasn't there a candidate for the tea party a few years back that boasted how she hadn't masturbated in years?

Most people don't masturbate before puberty

Wrong...again

Their rules are incredible:

Please be sensitive to those who may be easily triggered - all details, descriptions, stories, etc about sexual topics should be censored via “NSFW code” as described on the sidebar.

How do you even function in society without being exposed to any of this stuff? One incidental viewing of a girl in a bikini in a commercial or ad and you're #triggered! months of progress lost! I'm pretty sure their only strategy for not masturbating is to spend every waking minute on a forum devoted to not masturbating, which sounds perfectly healthy.

They're three steps away from castration. Hell, some of them may have done it

The essence of no fap is not fapping furiously and directing that sexual energy into something useful.
The essence of no porn is not watching pornography and publicly condemning the porn industry for promoting unhealthy lifestyles.
Even though bragging about it is just a fad i think we should celebrate righteousness more often in these dark times.

And what is un-useful about wanking? It relieves tension, is a known remedy for headaches, and lowers the risk of prostate cancer. As long as you don't spend every hour imaginable at it, it's totally harmless.

You are not Honoré de Balzac. Spunking does not render you unable to write another literary masterpiece.

Regardless of how you feel about their cult of non-masturbation, you gotta admit "fapstronaut" sounds kinda clever.

I thought we had a thread on these guys before. Did it get deleted?

On the autistic portmanteau scale, I give it a 2 out of 10. For reference, "pedofork" would be a 1 and "manajerk" would be about a 7.

I did a search for it on the CW board, and found nothing.

I was actually quite surprised. I was originally just doing research for my Anthony Burch thread, but the rabbit hole just went deeper and deeper.*

* Kinda like what Anthony Burch hasn't done at all in several years.
