A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Yeah kinda. It has roots in christian fanaticism where masturbation=bad. It also had some roots in faux masculinity stuff like how they said not masturbating increases testosterone (it doesn't). It's one of those things where on the surface it may seem silly and goofy but if you delve down deep enough you get bad shit.

To make it abundantly clear, No Nut November was always a satirical thing. That's how it was intended to start with and it didn't have any of that masculinity nonsense attached to it. After it started getting traction though people started injecting in all kinds of insanity into it and it almost got completely co-opted by extreme far-right nutjobs. Rolling Stone even put out an article saying as much.
- Make dumb joke.
- Others join in.
- Some of them don't know it's a joke.
- More of them don't know it's a joke.
- Holy shit there are a lot of you.
- A new movement is born.
Thanks, 4Chan. Turns out there ARE consequences to certain varieties of edgy humor when you don't know how batshit insane the other people on your website are.
Only reason I'm interested in NNN is because I started a race against some random dude on reddit on who can lose the fastest. I'm still record holder.
Somebody told me it was to create awareness of testicular and prostate cancer. I know it's also a fetish thing in the kink community (those wearing chastity devices).
It was used as a method to promote awareness but that wasn't the original intent. It was just simply a joke that got insanely out of hand. The Chastity thing you're talking about is actually an October thing called Locktober. Some people do carry over into November but the kink community in general uses October.
Yeah. I might not be into the kink but, I can respect that people are doing Locktober for safe, sane, and consentual pleasure-related reasons. NNN was a joke originally (like the "fap roulette" challenges of yore) but definitely subverted for some pretty nefarious reasons, using shame and sexual frustration to try to radicalize people into right-wing misogyny and violence.
It's really fucking weird.
Yep. I've not known anyone, myself included, to do Locktober for some awful reasons. No Nut November just got out of hand and next thing you know you have extremist figures going mental.
Wasn't No Shave November the movement that was supposed to bring cancer awareness?

it would be so nice if we left this awful meme back to rot on Reddit, wouldn't it?
Fairly sure it originated on 4chan 😅
Idk man trying to outlast your partner and seeing who breaks first might be kinda fun?
I'm not putting her through that 😂
Honestly, it should be renamed No Fap November
For people who are into this sort of things, those terms are interchangeable
I'm in a relationship, and I just reinterpret it. I interpret it as I can't make myself nut. There is definitely no reason to it. It's just fun in a way.

Imagine building an identity around suppressing something your body does naturally. It'd be like getting mad that we have to poop. Incels feel alone for making such ridiculous life choices that result in self imposed isolation.
Go visit a zoo, see what nature does.
Getting mad that we have to poop is a thing tho.

What the fuck I'm hungry? Again?? I just ate like 5 hours ago! Fuck this shit, imma do No Food February
My man just invented fasting
I went 90 days a few years ago.
Really didn't notice anything different about myself.
Not even levitation? You did it wrong
so did you actually expect to gain the ability to levitate?
I did it one time and became an angry mess.
Oh I've definitely noticed some bitchiness in myself lol

A lot of people who got wrapped up in NNN (and incels and fascists movements aside) are lost young men who want to be loved. It all goes back to mens health issues. I think the best resource for guys who see or saw NNN as a solution is Healthygamer.GG the YouTube channel and discord. Seriously so many people there had tried it. Looking for discipline, strength, control over a chaotic neurodivergent mind. There are solutions.
