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.
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.”
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.”

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.
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.

- a havard article, based on an australian study.
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.

It’s called no NUT november though. Not no porn november
