Reddit users came together to support a man who goes by the name "LearningToBeSoft" who swore off of masturbation after he allegedly "tore his thing up from dry jacking". The man's post, now deleted, told a harrowing tale of addiction and lust. It went from desperate to inspirational, captivating the community and making the man's story one of the most awarded posts on the website.

Reddit's NoFap community is one of the bastions of chastity on the internet; what makes it truly exceptional is that it's chaste as well as secular. Few sites have been able to walk that line, with notable examples being NPR.org and Neopets.com. Many on the site subscribe to no higher power but there are some that believe they can store up their semen and work it up their spine to gain some kind of mystical abilities. LearningToBeSoft is one of them. He spoke with TMZ today to explain his thought process:

"I realized how often I'd been wasting my chakras inside of a Bang Bus and realized I needed to make a change. If you've heard the story of Yakub, you know that humans used to be able to do telekinesis and create new species. Most of those texts state that the cracker race cannot access these abilities but I am determined to find out for myself. This is the first step on a journey that ends with godhood."

Details are still breaking on this story, we will update with more information as it becomes public.

    I honestly didn't realize this was fake until "cracker race". Somehow that's what did it for me, not the part about NPR.org and Neopets.com

    The only thing that gave this away as fake news is the Yakub reference.

    /r/NoFap is that fucking culty. Just practice moderation, FFS. No need for the false dichotomy of turbo coomer hedonic treadmill or quasi-secular chastity cult. the-more-you-know
