Mashable: Viral anti-masturbation app exposed sensitive user data. “A researcher told 404 Media that they scanned apps for a misconfiguration in apps that use the development platform Google Firebase, as that same issue was seen in the Tea app. The researcher found that Quittr had the same problem and contacted the founders about the issue, and while they said it would be fixed in an hour, it […]

#noFAP (1995 verboten)

Sebastián Yatra, en La Revuelta, diciendo NO A LAS PAJAS. Al parecer hay un movimiento de varones jóvenes, #NoFap, pero no tengo muy claro si el rollo va de no consumir porno o la historia es otra puta mierda capitalista tipo "deja las pajas, multiplica por 10 tu productividad y hazte rico"

A Study on “No Fap” for Women?

Most often, when we talk about online communities for abstinence from pornography and masturbation, such as No Fap, we are talking about men.

Online forums purporting abstinence, particularly Reddit, are a predominantly male space. So, where do the women go? 

While we know men more often report problematic sexual behavior than women, women do still struggle with PSB issues. Where is their safe space? A recent study published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior recently addressed this question.

A No Fap Study in the Archives of Sexual Behavior

The authors analyzed the posts from a women-only online forum called Porn Free Women. 

Porn Free Women was developed because most pornography abstinence online spaces are dominated by men and many women did not feel comfortable or accepted participating in them.

Do you believe you have an online pornography addiction? Take the free Cyber Pornography Addiction Test (CYPAT) and have the results to speak with your therapist.

Therapeutic, Empowerment and Heteronormative

The analysis of the discussions revealed 16 predominant topics that fell within three themes: 

• Therapeutic
• Empowerment
• Heteronormative

Half of the discussions fit the therapeutic theme. Pornography abstinence was discussed as overcoming adversity through healing and transformation. Here pornography was seen as addictive.  

Over a quarter of the posts fit into the heteronormative theme. The discussions involved romantic relationships, identity anxiety and ideas of being a “real” woman. 

The empowerment theme emphasized female empowerment and agency in building a supportive community to promote well-being.  

Many of the women in the forum identified with the philosophy of pornography addiction. 

Unlike men, many of these women use their own past sexual victimization to rationalize their entry into pornography addiction.  

This study was interesting because it is one of the very few studies that look at a women’s perspective on desired abstinence from pornography. In a field dominated by heteronormative male voices, it is refreshing to see science finally take an interest in the female voices in the arena.

New study on the dangerous #NoFap cult has shown something #Sexologists have suspected for some time: groups like this which enforce #SexualRepression, especially when #masturbation abstinence is included, have been linked with aggression, violence, and criminality, on top of a slew of health problems caused by the lack of masturbation itself. R/nofap posters were found to be incredibly violent when compared with similar communities focusing on actual addictions, with users actively posting about desires to commit violent crimes or even bragging about actually committing violent crimes, often against people they found sexually attractive, but also against scientists and family members.

Remember that masturbation is normal, natural, and healthy, and anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. Do not believe weird far-right cults that try to scare or shame you.

I've never really understood the whole No Fap thing. It's actually a huge thing in Daoist mysticism, but here's a rundown of other contexts.

No Fap: A Cultural History of Anti-Masturbation

Just a reminder that #NoNutNovember comes from #NoFap, which is a religious fundamentalist and often white supremacist site. Furthermore, the 'challenge' itself is inherently both physically and psychologically unhealthy, and serves to further demonize sex in our already sexually illiterate, shame-based society.

Of course #NoNutNovember has proto-fascist roots:

"before the term “eugenics” had been coined, Richard Wagner (1813–83)... decried Jewish art as improperly German for its 'masturbatory' nature and viewed Jews as sexually deviant and mentally handicapped because of their widespread masturbation and homosexuality, interweaving onanism and social Darwinism to produce a fear of masturbating Jews contributing to the moral and genetic degeneracy of the German nation."
