i find it so childish when men in relationships take “No Nut November” seriously. it disappoints their partner if she genuinely wants intimacy and defeats the purpose of being with someone you love and cherish enough to share that connection with 🙏

It’s even worse because it’s really meant as a way to help with porn addiction, not healthy sex with partners

Guy who has done a lot of research on this for arguments It isn’t even beneficial to not ejaculate. Like for a few days (if you have a genetic defect 1, if not 2-5 before what you have planned) it can work. But there is no medical benefit to holding off for so long. None at all. It actually increases the risk of prostate cancer. If I’m wrong, please bring me evidence outside of “well I feel better”

Meh, who cares? Maybe they see it as a test of self control or time to focus on something else or maybe just see how the relationship develops without sex. If my bf wanted to take it seriously I would support that.

Yes this has been stated by many urologists, it’s bad for your pelvic floor too

it also definitely doesn't help with compulsive porn consumption

increases risk of prostate cancer, reduces pelvic floor strength (less satisfying orgasms), not to mention nocturnal emissions (wet dreams) which your body does if you go without orgasm long enough. the whole idea is self defeating

There might not be physical health benefits but what about mental and emotional benefits? Or about things like desensitization to sex so taking a break to get feeling back or just doing it as a kink?

That’s what they said in reference to porn addiction that’s what NNN was first meant to target. Now ppl make it emotional gains. But a full month when in a relationship doesn’t really do much mental benefit to either party

Also making it a kink is kind of gross? And would be weird to actual ppl doing it bc they’re fighting addiction that plenty of ppl do this for the fun of it. But that’s my guess. If ppl want to praise NNN be my guess

I would disagree. I had to stop doing anything sexual for over a month bc of a surgery and it was actually super beneficial for my relationship 💀 it changed how we interacted together and we had to find other ways to express love and intimacy. And then when we could have sex it became more important in a way, like we had taken it for granted before

Not saying that’s the case for every single relationship or that it needs to be done every year or anything, but I definitely personally saw a lot of positive effects from temporary celibacy while in a relationship! I would have rather done it under different circumstances though 💀

You can do that during any month of the year though and your circumstance is far different. But the idea of NNN does no serious mental or emotional benefit outside of any other big reasoning

Obviously it doesn’t have it be in November, but I think it can be easier for people to do or try when they feel they aren’t alone in it. If they hate it or feel no benefit from it, then they can just stop and not do it again. I feel like it’s not that serious for people to do or try and if they take it seriously, to each their own

For a few days sure the whole month no as 2 stated. And does no benefit at all. But like I said if ppl want to find no issues with it despite the fact do them. Just will not personally do much

i feel like if you’re in a relationship and need to take a break to “decenter ejaculation,” whether because of porn addiction or self-control issues, you’re probably not mature enough to be in one

So addiction isnt about maturity but also when something is such a regular part of your life and central part of intimacy, it can be nice to take a step back. There is a lot of chemical bonding between you and your partner through sex which can be easily mistaken for feelings so not having that can also just help you clearly evaluate the actual relationship too

But then again I will also do random things like stop eating a random food or using it all the time to make sure it’s not a crutch and rather just something bringing joy and positivity. That I’m not using it because I HAVE to but because I want to type deal.
