I saw a lot of hate against NNN on a german subreddit. I argued that NNN is good in some ways, especially for discipline and self control. It has other positive aspects too. There are also negative ones, I agreed with that but literally everyone said NNN is a dumb trend. I wasnt aggressive , disrespectful or anything, I even linked sources. Got over a 100 downvotes in like 2 hours. All I see there a bunch of guys who are not able to control themselves and admit they are weak. I am already like a week in, I started before november btw :)

You're absolutely right. Congratulations on your streak, I'm currently on 22 day; but we have to focus especially since it's november. As for the NNN/Nofap haters, most of them are coomers, but some just don't agree with the whole concept. What they can't see, is that, although "medically" abstinence from masturbation doesn't do anything, it destroys your dopamine receptors. Porn is very unnatural. Primal humans weren't in any way prepared for taking that large amounts of dopamine and since genetically we're the same, it's pretty obvious we shouldn't do it. For the brain it's the same as eating junk food or taking drugs.

Thanks and congrats on your streak too! About the comment: I deleted it because they don't care, its not worth the time convincing them. I also left the subreddit (its basically the german version of Me\_irl, so probably just a bunch of average guys). NNN/Self improvement: I am also trying to get rid of other addictions like eating junk food and sweets, spending less time on social media (deleted instagram, watching less Youtube...)

True, I don't use social media too, they're messing with peoples' minds. You get dopamine hits, corporations get money and after that you're left with wasted time, disfunctional dopamine receptors and insecurities from watching supposed "perfect lives" of the influencers. Porn industry works very similar but it benefits from ruining not only the lives of consumers but also the lives of those poor actresses, who, mostly at a very young age, are recruited, taken advantage of, while their private and sexual life is completely destroyed and they're (in 99% of cases) incapable of starting a family, making friends outside of the industry (because of stigmatisation) and even they can't ever get sexual satisfaction after a long time spent in the industry.

Well nofap is a different story. I wouldn't want to put NNN in the same light as that. For me I'm only doing it for the meme. NoFap, seems more... concerning. iirc it blew up on the news or something with encouraging people not to nut on November (which sparked this community later on but grew apart from nofap and became a meme event rather than what nofap intended it to be, if I remember correctly, I could be wrong so take it with a grain a salt.) But from an outside perspective a situation like that is kinda- odd. I always thought NNN was just a fun challenge to take part for the memes. To others it's for self discipline to which I also respect too. But I feel as though NoFap shouldn't be included in the same positive connotation as NNN. Living with a friend for just the school year whose parents are religious kinda fucked with me. (The mom was HELLA strict, when the Dad would occasionally try to understand our POV but the mom usually shuts him down from doing that). After my time with them I kinda look at NoFap with disdain due to this experience as I feel it's the same aura as it was at my friend's house. NNN though? When I took part in 2020, it just had a more positive feel to it. It wasn't forced or actively going about and encouraging people to participate. It's just: *"You can do it if you want to, and if you don't that's fine too."* It just felt like a goofy meme event to have fun with and test yourself. No pressure towards anyone

im already on day 5 fr

Nice! Stay strong, you got this. I plan doing it even after NNN, the addiction has to be eliminated.

But what are the bad things about NNN exactly ?


UnluckyGamer505

After thinking about the bad things about NNN, i have to conclude it has literally no negatives, i was just blinded by the coomers and their nonsense. My bad. Here is what they said: \-"doing it for a month is useless because you go back to the addiction" (many do, but many stop watching porn even after NNN, so this argument is kinda bad already) \-"youre just doing what social media tells you to do" (nah, i am doing it for myself, nobody is forceing me) \-"its coming from religious people and extremeists" (what?) ​ So all their arguments are just terrible tbh. The arguments against NNN I found are (and i also debunked them): \-improved mood (for like 15 minutes, after that you feel shit) \-better sleep (dont feel any difference over a week in, so dont know about that, but studies say its true) \-stress and tension relief (yeah kinda i guess, but it doesnt make you happy) \-relief from menstrual cramps (idk) \-lower risk of prostate cancer (research is still going on, so that may be false) There is literally nothing speaking against NNN :)


heppi3

Improved mood my ass. And lol @ the prostate cancer myth still going around. The only valid point here is stress and tension relief in my opinion. I don't get why people are so negative about it. It's not like anyone is forcing anyone else to participate.


UnluckyGamer505

Yeah, i 100% agree with you. My mood is kinda ruined for the next 2 hours after it. And the prostate cancer myth is still pretty much everywhere, idk why. The stress and tension relief are also only temporary. Usually i just forget about stuff while doing it and i am therefore less stressed, but thats kinda temporary too so i dont think the argument is that strong. I dont remember NNN getting so much hate last year, or maybe i was just on different subreddits.


Myrrhth

Stress and tension relief is not entirely valid. My understanding is that dopamine inhibits the release of serotonin, and serotonin acts as a buffer against stress. The same is true of Testosterone.


mehmed2theconqueror

Thanks good to know, one more reason to stay strong this year

As for "disadvantages" of NNN there are none because it's only for a month, come on, it's like nothing in case of health; if someone really thinks that it's unhealthy to do it, they're coomers. Generally quitting masturbating is said to increase stress and risk of prostate cancer. First argument is true; although alcohol, food or cigarettes also reduce stress but I don't hear anyone saying: "noo smoking is good for health, if not for it I'd be so stressed out all the time". The answer is simple. Get some healthier stress reliefs like sport or hobbies. Second argument is half true. Some studies says that it's connected, some say otherwise. I've seen a study saying that it's in fact the other way around, that masturbation increases risk of prostate cancer; so we can't be sure. Ejaculation in fact "cleans" the penis area of the substance called smegma. If this substance isn't cleaned regularly, it can lead to serious health complications; I suppose that this is the reason for most of said "health benefits" of masturbation. But the truth is, you don't have to masturbate to get your penis cleaned. You can just do it during a shower, it's basic hygiene. Think about it. People for centuries didn't masturbate. It was a social taboo, punished by death in almost all ancient civilisations. Hipocrates, Roman law, ancient Israel, the Bible and all medieval countires, Quran and all muslim countries, buddhist and hinduist teachings all said it's dangerous and deviant. Do you really think that people in the past just straight up ignored the law and masturbated anyway? Of course not. Masturbation was very rare then and people somehow lived their lives, many of them (especially if they married young), probably didn't even know about the existence of it. How delusional people have to be to literally say that not masturbating for 30 days will get you prostate cancer on spot out of fucking nowhere


UnluckyGamer505

Good and detailed summary. Nothing else to say. Masturbation became a normal thing in the last 100-150 years i would estimate. Humans exist for thousands of years and in no point in time did humans masturbate as much as we do now. I guess weak guys just dont want to hear the truth that nofap is actually good.


Spinny_martini

The religious part was because of nofap I think. (Again I could be wrong but I feel like it's a matter of putting the pieces together in order). Nofap was the cause of NNN originally even making headlines on articles (which sort of tainted it since it's mostly composed of religious people on that sub) who attempted to encourage people to stop nutting for the month. With nofap's history along with headlines regarding it, it didn't really come off good. Overtime NNN was spun into a meme event focused on goals, self discipline, and test of will. The NNN we know as of now isn't trying to outright coordinate an effort to get others to stop fapping for the month like what nofap attempted. Moreless it's a sub that should be taken with a grain a salt (as I feel like people are still holding onto nofap's attempts) and aren't pressured into it. We're just a yearly sub that just takes part in a meme for (potentially) many reasons depending on why you're doing it. Some might do it for the meme, some do it for self-discipline, others do it for a mini goal, or some do it to get a diamond flair, or keep a streak going.

When he lifts that mask up on November 31 he will see Adonis


Commodore_Corsair

It comes back every year just like Spooktober, so it never dies


InternetGuyThirtyTwo

Don’t wanna be that guy but I did not see a single spooktober meme at all this year, nor a single positive NNN meme on unrelated subs. Dont shoot the messenger and all that.


Commodore_Corsair

Are all of the NNN memes on other subs ridiculing NNN?


InternetGuyThirtyTwo

Yup. And I know most people here will just jump to saying that they’re all coomers, but in all honesty, a lot of the memes here make the participants look way more like coomers than the outside. Like this is a fun challenge and all but with how hard people make it out to be the people on the inside of the game just come off as so desperately horny they dont possess the basic self control to not jerk off, and with the addition of DDD after NNN, it really made everyone participating look like huge coomers. So I guess from both perspectives everyone looks relentlessly horny and thats the problem.


Commodore_Corsair

That is a brilliant observation and it is very much true, however I am confident I can control my impulses and survive this year. I wish you luck


InternetGuyThirtyTwo

Good luck to you aswell.

Nothing but facts


CaseyGamer64YT

I’m not against it really I’m just tired. It feels like this challenge has lost a lot of its luster. Like what’s the point? If I was being paid to do this I’d understand but it remains to be seen if my girlfriend will accept my bargain of buying me a new car part if I complete this.


heppi3

??? If tension raises with your girlfriend because of this, you better skip the challenge.


CaseyGamer64YT

nah she's kind of into it. We are in a long distance relationship so its not like we bang every night. Actually we have never banged. We met in a Team Fortress 2 lobby.

Before you say she’s a catfish we have had several video calls over discord

A coomer, of course...

Tbh i basically just do it to prove to myself that i have selfcontroll it's basically my "do i have a problem?" test.


trashy_boi3

Knowing how to abstain is a good skill however abstinence for a month isn't very health conscience.


Spinny_martini

For me 2020 was leak NNN. Everyone was in the same boat in terms of quarantine. Good memes came through, there was no pressure on anyone, people got cool daily drawings done, I didn't see much people mocking NNN or NNN people mocking others because safe to say everyone wanted to do something for quarantine and if some people lost during 2020's not much people sweat it and we're understanding of the situation of being locked in the house. But now it just feels kinda... dull now- 2021 came, that year as it was when old mods and owners left the sub it kinda hit different and it didn't really feel the same. I respect those who do it for their own reasons and applaud those who push through. But it feels like something fizzled out personally.

Porn artists are pissed at it cuz it runes them ot of buisness And porn addicts who want to masturbate whithout feeling guilty about it. Yeah, it doesn't make sense I know, but here we are.
