It seems like a month for going cold turkey. You can’t shave and you can’t nut.
Not nutting has a few health benefits and also some downsides. According to Harvard research, men who ejaculate regularly, 20 times a month, have a low risk of prostate cancer as compared to those who nut 4 to 7 times a month. Men who abstain from substances build their willpower and can channel that energy into something productive, such as creating an art piece or an invention.
The irony of no-shave, no nut November is this. No Shave November was started as a campaign to donate money men would have used for manscaping into cancer treatments, or rather, build awareness. So, if you tell men not to nut and not shave in the same month, it is a bit laughable. By not nutting, they increase the chances of prostate cancer. Look at that weird analogy.
November is the month before the BIG December. We indulge a great deal in December in all kinds of pleasures. So, if you ask people to fast or go cold turkey on a few pleasantries, they might cut down on a few things.
I like rituals and the meaning behind them. If you are a man who indulges on a few things like sports, social media, junk food, or romance novels. I believe practicing abstinence or withdrawing for a few months can go a long way in helping you build your mental endurance.
Strong men, inasmuch as they participate in building society, creating businesses, shagging women, and having fun, they also enjoy some alone time in the wilderness, away from technology, and just being by themselves, meditating and flapping birds or chopping wood.
The modern society puts men and women in a lot of comfort. And you can become weak or rather lazy when you sleep in white sheets and eat all flavors of chocolates and snacks and watch the Kardashians all day.
You won’t do much with such a lifestyle. Most men get angry at the slightest inconvenience to their comfort. I am in a city where if power goes off for 6 hours and your typical city guy can’t check his WhatsApp status or messages, or emails, he becomes agitated or frustrated.
He is too glued to the screens, and modern technology has got him captive. If your typical city gal can’t get three meals a day and the occasional Tuesday pizza offer, she becomes sad.
It is always good to spend some time in the comfort of modern civilization. If power goes off and you need to get a cold shower instead of a hot shower, just go with it.
If you can’t afford the gym membership, maybe go on the floor and do push-ups to failure or go to the park and practice 30 pull ups every evening. Use your natural abilities to get strong.
If you can’t stop indulging in pizzas and fast food, get a farm and grow your food. You will be much healthier.
Denying yourself a few unnecessary luxuries and living in harsh conditions with less money or food than you are used to might help you realise how wasteful you were before. And how much less you need to survive.
In regards to no shave no nut November, whether semen retention is spiritual and has some benefits is still debatable. Whether your testosterone increases and your libido starts driving you crazy after a few weeks of no ejaculation is up to you.
Studies also show that semen quality slightly declines after around 7 days of not ejaculating. The semen volume might increase, though, by around 12 percent in the first four days of no ejaculation.
Just know that at some point, you’ve got to bust that nut or shave if you are a healthy male with a good dose of testosterone. You can’t punish your body for so long.
Before you decide to participate in these rituals this month, talk to your partner if you are dating. Maybe they might help you through the dry spell with moral support. I think there are better ways to raise awareness on cancer or social health issues without tormenting ourselves.
If you like destructive sexual habits, like fapping to porn, these rituals might help you regain better control of your sex drive and live a better life.
Shaving is a major part of sexual hygiene; it is good to mow your lawn once in a while as a man. If you are dating a lady, she better shave her legs and other parts. There is no fun in keeping a forest.
Whether you are going to be intimate or not, it is important to trim yourself. You brush your teeth every day, whether you are going to smile or not. You take a shower whether you are going out or not.
You make your hair whether you are going out or not, so it makes sense to shave down there whether you are going to have intimacy or not. As long as you can’t see the skin anymore when you look down there, it is a sign to mow your lawn.
I just bought a new razor, by the way. I don’t like being bushy. Don’t be a caveman.
To No Shave, no Nut November.
