Men choosing to abstain from masturbation raises concerns

There is a growing trend of men abstaining from masturbation, which has doctors and therapists worried. This trend is popularized by online communities, promoting what is known as 'NoFap,' where men challenge themselves to refrain from self-pleasure. While some men claim to see positive effects on their mental health and overall well-being, medical experts argue that there is a lack of scientific evidence supporting these claims. The debate revolves around the concept of addiction, with some asserting that excessive pornography use can lead to addiction, while others argue that the term addiction is subjective. Despite the ongoing discussion, individuals are encouraged to exercise caution and prioritize mental health when it comes to their own habits.
