r/NoFap is going to wage a protest!
Omg I forgot that was a thing, I couldn't believe it wasn't trolling, but no some of those people literally believe if they don't whack it they'll have superhuman powers, sounds similar to all the benefits of essential oils (/s) /Rant
Which is funny because there is a ton of data saying that ejaculation is good for you. And I'm sure most of them aren't having sex that often.
Exactly, sounds like something that would originate from a youth church group lol
I had a youth pastor back before I was old enough to have started masturbating, and he gathered all the boys 'round one day to talk to us about masturbation, because the previous weeks one of the boys had made a joke about it.
Basically, the consensus at the ~~Denbigh Christian Church~~ was that ejaculation is only sinful if you're lustful. So loving sex between spouses is okay, jerking off is a sin, and wet dream can also be sins, if accompanied by dirty dreams. But the real problem is that ejaculate is, basically, your bodies reserve of energy. If you're constantly cumming, you won't have energy for other things, because your body needs that for shit like thinking, and moving.
Basically, you're wasting calories, I think?
I was 10, and very confused.
ETA: got the church wrong. Can't remember the name of the one with that youth pastor. But the Sunday school teacher at the same church (not DCC, the one I can't remember) told us that Angels hate us, because we have free will and they don't, and if it were up to them, they'd slaughter us in our sleep. They only don't because they're told not to by God.
Better than what my grandmother (who was not the best person) told me when I was very small and taking a bath- "if you keep touching it, a man will come with a scissors and cut it off." Even now more than 40 years later, just typing it kind of freaks me out because it scared me so much.
On the other hand, it never stopped me from masturbating, so I guess she failed there.
Nothing stops masturbation. Best you get is creating a complex around it.
But when I was a kid and in the "I grew a fidget spinner!" phase of the late single digits, my mom told me that it i didn't stop playing with it, it would get stuck in a random position and then I'd have to lay on my side to pee.
That might actually encourage me.
Yeah, Mama's got a great sense of humor. She was once arguing with my brother and his friend when they were teens, looked him dead in the eye and said "I should've swallowed" then took a drink of her water, as if to demonstrate. We all collectively died, and are currently ghosts
Fixed that for you mate
You never know.
With themselves? Every day.
Apparently not since they brag about how long it's been since they've jerked off.
I suppose they could be lying though.
Oh you know they're full of it
I feel like there is a toxic Andrew Tate black hole that has been sucking up incels lately. The whole NoFap, wife should be a virgin, high/low value women shit is starting to get popular in these circles.
Sucks, halfway want to blast the group with facts on the off chance it spares a single kid from getting sucked into that kinda crap, but I'm sure id just be banned instantly.
