No Nut November: A Challenge of Self-Control and Semen Retention

No Nut November is an internet phenomenon where young men attempt to give up masturbating for the entire month of November. It serves as a personal challenge to exercise self-control and break bad habits. Participants believe that abstaining from ejaculation can lead to enhanced clarity, less need for sleep, higher confidence, reduced anxiety, and increased creativity. For some, it is also a way to rebel against perceived societal control through temptations like pornography. The movement has gained popularity on platforms like TikTok and Reddit, where participants offer support and share tips on abstinence.
