Masturbation abstinence practices have returned to the USA in the form of semen retention communities. Followers on one of these male, anti-masturbation forums, “NoFap,” on Reddit (denoted “r/NoFap”), have engaged in homicidal behaviors that appear to be linked to these sexual beliefs and practices. This study uses a systematic search on r/NoFap and two control forums (r/pornfree, and r/stopdrinking) to define a corpus of violent content. The study’s goals were to describe the nature of threats on r/NoFap and suggest whether the violence might be attributable to sexual deprivation or false beliefs that non-sexual targets caused their violent urges. Of the 421 violent posts identified from September 2011 to September 2022, r/NoFap contained the majority (94.3%). Violent threats on r/NoFap mostly targeted pornographers, women, scientists, specific persons, or any person (i.e. homicidal “rage”). Violent threats against r/NoFap’s own followers were growing most quickly. Violent posts were well-supported with upvotes by other followers in r/NoFap. These data are important because NoFap may represent a growing threat for real-world violence.
if you don’t want to masturbate just get on HRT you losers
Isn’t no fap alt right? It basically seems like a honeypot for depressed young men.
Religious people have been doing shit like this for centuries, this is just the same thing in a shiny new package, just like the whole “Fight The New Drug” campaign.
religious people
capitalist society
exploitative society
patriarchal society which subordinates sexual desires to private property

Reich’s Psychology of Fascism held up pretty well to today despite being limited to Freudian analysis and the English edition having a serious case of radlib , I’d recommend a look if you’re familar with psychology, otherwise this is the gist
Man men are NOT okay, and here I thought cutting out porn and getting fapping down to only a few times a week was a noble goal. Turns out it turns you homicidal.
That’s generally a good idea, but the r/nofap people take it further, they say you shouldn’t masturbate at all. Then that gets paired with some misogyny and the promise that women will just throw themselves at you for doing this, and you end up with some very frustrated boys that should’ve knocked one out periodically to relieve their stress.
It’s literally a dopamine factory and using it in place of intimacy/human connection to detriment of your mental health is literally an addiction.
That doesn’t mean you can’t watch it if you aren’t affected. But just because you can drink a beer and be fine doesn’t meant alcoholics don’t exist.
Stroke em if you got em’
