People who are more engaged with communities that push abstinence from masturbation tend to feel more suicidal after a perceived "relapse," according to new research published in the journal Sexualities. ...

The researchers also asked the participants to rate how often they noticed ten different problems in the online forums. Visitors to NoFap forums reported seeing content that was often trolling (88%), misogynistic (73.7%), bullying (49.1%), anti-LGBT (42.9%), or anti-Semitic (32.0%). Additionally, a significant number of participants reported being told to harm or kill themselves (23.5%), witnessing threats to hurt others (21.1%), and witnessing doxing of others (17.1%) on the forums.

    ymmv i suppose but i find that infinitely preferable

    the tone is so different; it doesn't feel like it comes from a place of misogyny

      I find it worse because it's done under the pretense it's somehow woke if you have a slight kink. At least :awooga: guys aren't pretending it's anything else.

        i can understand that i suppose. like i said it's very subjective, it just so happens that i find it less repulsive (maybe the focus on "what i'd like to do to her" vs "what i'd like her to do to me"? idk)
