NoFap, Ed, and PE

The difference between NoNut November and NoFap is that during NoNut we are supposed to ignore the heaviness and aching in our balls, ignore the boners, and not cum for the entire month. Ostensibly, just to see if we can.

 NoFap allows you to cum - just not by jacking off. Though, I'll assume it's allowable if it's someone else's hand doing the stroking. Or, you are at least engaged in sexual activity with a partner.

But NoFap disallows porn because it might temp you into polishing your knob. Because....according to them, masturbation leads to Erectile Dysfunction (ED) and premature ejaculation (PE). They claim porn usage leads to "desensitization, which renders the person unable to get aroused during sex." But it doesn’t have strong evidence behind it.

Here are the facts:

Research shows that “ Viewing sexual stimuli is associated with greater sexual responsiveness, not erectile dysfunction.” They found no evidence of the “desensitization” process, or pornography having an effect on ED. In fact, sexual responses were actually stronger for people who watched VSS (Visual Sexual Stimuli).

It also doesn’t seem to cause premature ejaculation. In fact, logic follows that you could actually delay ejaculation because of the ‘practice’ you have. Again, there’s no real evidence to support this claim.

Wiley Online Library has this to say about viewing porn.

Whether you watch porn, or not, to increase arousal, jacking off helps your cock by increasing the supply of blood oxygen, thereby enabling better, harder erections.

Frequent ejaculations reduce the risk of prostate cancer.
