If #NoNutNovember gets you, you’re not alone

If you use Twitter or Reddit, you may have come across the hashtag #NoNutNovember and wondered why you shouldn’t eat nuts in November. But what sounds like a nightmare for squirrels isn’t a change in the animal’s diet.

No, it’s about masturbating. Or rather, about not masturbating.

The internet challenge is mainly intended to encourage men to avoid orgasms through masturbation or sexuality throughout the month of November. Or just about cracking the hard nut.

The phenomenon is not entirely new. The challenge first appeared in early 2010. A web designer from the US wanted to express his opinion that men should masturbate less. When he was young, he masturbated six to eight times a day and then realized that life was better with “sexual discipline.”

In 2017, the movement slowly gained popularity on social media. In 2020, the Reddit community NoNutNovember had more than 85,000 participants. By 2022, the group will already have more than 110,000 participants. It is unknown how many of them actually participate in the challenge. “Some are only here for the memes,” the Reddit platform writes about its No Nut November community.

‘No Nut November’ (NNN for short) is similar to the ‘Movember’ challenge, where men don’t shave their faces for a month to raise awareness of prostate cancer and other men’s health issues. However, there is no official background to No Nut November. Some participants claim that avoiding ejaculations has health benefits. However, this has not been scientifically proven.

And just when you think it can’t get any worse, along comes a new one even more doubtful So it’s a challenge. Anyone who has managed to avoid masturbation and sex for a month can participate in the ‘Destroy Dick December’ challenge.

Unlike November, December is all about masturbating and having as much sex as possible. You should have your first orgasm on December 1 and increase the number every day so that you have it by December 31 set off fireworks has a total of 31 orgasms. 🥴

We leave it that way. And switch to those who prefer to channel their excess energy into tweets and memes about #NoNutNovember:
