    How to make young men angrier? Tell them a healthy amount of maturation (7 to 21 times a month according to Google but usually just when you feel like it is fine) is unhealthy and to stop for a month. No air November up next!

      The thing is, it originally was part of 4chan’s impossible challenges, which did include no air april and no shit september. 9gag users tried to claim no fap november (as it was known originally) was to raise awareness of men’s issues like prostate cancer and mental health stuff, which was false.

      I think there is a real issue with porn addiction. I varies by the person but I have met people who have serious issues.

      I think it is all very personal. Do what you want to do. No one will know any different as chances are you aren’t doing in for an audience.

      I also think the porn industry has questionable ethics.

      NNN is just another way conservatives try to control Americans. They’re hitting that incel population right where they live, moms basement.

      I say, fap all you want boys.

            That probably depends on a lot of things, including age, general health, and relationship status.

            I was gonna say, that’s only twice a day. I average 4-5 times a day until I was like 20-25. About once a day since, sometimes more, sometimes less. But 60 a month doesn’t seem so crazy to me.

              I could easily make 60 a month happen even close to 40 if I wanted. Once you hit triple digits is when the worry should really begin

              Yeah when I was a teen it was like 3-4 times a day every day. I’m 30 now so I needed a sanity check lol

                Same. I try to keep a routine nowadays. Whack it before bed, as I am very single, and that’ll keep me out trouble most of the next day. Occasionally there’s one in the morning if there was a particularly spicy dream or something, but that’s about it

                  I miss spicy dreams. All of mine for the last few years has been me going to high school and middle school again and not remembering my locker code or forgetting a project.

                    They don’t happen often, but they’re pretty nice. Definitely a good respite from my more standard “the people you love are in danger and/or gone, and also your teeth are falling out.” :/
