    I'm going to start a competing movement where I also deny myself a small pleasure as a means to enlightenment. It's called "no candy."

    Day 434 of no candy: I was able to levitate my controller to me so I could keep binge playing video games while sitting on the toilet.

      Your body won't let you succeed at nofap, nocandy, and nogames all at the same time because it knows it would disintegrate into pure god-energy.

    Depressing how we're all just sad little creatures who ritualize anything to make life bearable.

        Playing both sides so that you always come on top and maximise your chances of going to heaven both-sides

          Janson defines Chrislam as an "assemblage"[1] of religious practice, stating that the underlying religious concept of Chrislam is that "to be a Muslim or Christian alone is not enough to guarantee success in this world and the hereafter."

          that's literally what the wiki says, lmao

      right? Like, masturbate if you feel the need. It's not really taking a break if you are still thinking and talking and posting about it. Sounds more like cold turkey withdrawal than anything. Maybe they should consider just introducing a slightly longer interval between sessions.

    there is a correlation with men who ejaculate less than 21 times per month and an increased risk of prostate cancer

      I believe it's a marginal increase in risk.

      31% decreased risk and 1 in 8 American men get diagnosed. It's actually more optimal to do 4-7 times/wk compared to less. I wanted to be a contrarian and say you don't have to, and you don't, but it might be worth looking into (the link in bio).

    No fap is a way for fascists to worm itself into impressionable men's minds using religious-mystical hangups regarding sex as a Trojan horse, if you're walking around low key horny everywhere seeing the sex you're attracted to as evil trying to tempt you, it's easier to manipulate you for all sorts of horrific nonsense. Of course you felt a placebo sort deal of better not having sex nor fapping, you basically at a subconscious level see it as worse than murder since you're in the western death cult, and the poor people you want to sex as objects, an extension of masturbation basically.

      Daoism: the universe is all interconnected forces intermingling with each other in an eternal dialectic, every part contains something of the whole, try to work with and redirect these moving forces and trends instead of running headfirst into them. The lock creates the thief, trying too hard to prevent something will only cause it to happen more certainly

      Internet Misogynists: ok so your body must be kept separate from the world and pure at all costs, always deny your bodily desires and prevent any outlet, violently oppose any natural urges, got it

      Daoism: how could you possibly think this is what i meant?

      Internet Misoginists: another certified (non-)banger

    I have gone without sexual activities for longer than this by accident lmao. If you seriously can't stop for like 6 days, you genuinely have a problem.

        like come on this is just like when people look at incels and are like "yeah these guys are preternaturally unfuckable permavirgins who can't be allowed to exist in the same society as normal folk" like their weird sexual beliefs are extreme examples of attitudes that are completely mainstream that you've done nothing to deconstruct and you don't even recognize it aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
