NoFap Founder Is Suing a Masturbation Neuroscientist

quote [ Alexander Rhodes, the owner of the NoFap trademark, filed a complaint against a neuroscientist who studies porn and sexuality, for libel and defamation. ]

So NoFap over the years has gone from a random weird November challenge to what appears to be a cult that attacks scientists that dare to say that never cumming doesn't give you super powers.

NoFap is stupid as hell. Not only does it not give you superpowers, there's evidence that ejaculating at least 5 times a week reduces your risk of prostate cancer by about a third. Not ejaculating at all can't be good...unless it somehow keeps you from shooting up yoga classes.

Damn - I must must be hitting around 119% reduction by now.

SE - curing cancer since 2014.

A week? Damn. I'm going to let my raw skin heal up for a day or two.

If you jerk it at least 5 times a day every day you have a negative chance of getting cancer which means not only are you immune, you can actually give it to other people.

Kellogg used to say you could always tell a compulsive masturbator by their eyes. I reckon he's right....

He was right. Compulsive masturbators almost always have eyes.

Thus the risk of blindness. Wear safety goggles, kids. Even a monocle will do. The one-eyed man is still king in the kingdom of the blind.

I saw a strange thing today: a bunch of middle-aged Proud Boys engaged in discussion with Hong Kong student protesters on Main Street. I wondered if the kids knew that they were talking with misogynist white supremacists who think that not jerking off will turn them into Batman? From what the protestors were saying, they weren't fooled by the Proud Boys expressing solidarity with them. They were saying that they were against political violence, not legitimising it through their actions.

“ NoFap is most commonly associated with #NoNutNovember”

What else would it be associated with though?

Besides this lawsuit.

Organizations trying to eliminate familial adenomatous polyposis?

Of course! Duh~

Wow - suing random scientists because the research does not align with any of their dogma? How very scientologist of them.

there are parts of the community that are focused on men’s rights, are misogynistic, and that have harassed people


Causation/Correlation? Chicken/Egg? Maybe try not being like that? Two birds one stone?

So many questions.

Also

This seems like one of those strange bedfellows situations among those who think porn is for people who don't see women in porn as "real women".

Lastly

Prause, as in taking a, would be a great term for not masturbating.
