Prime the 'ol pipes ya know!
I remember this was a big thing for a while in those weird men's communities. Where being an incel wasn't because of religion or loserdom, but because of wanting to "save his seed" because that's where a man's power comes from or some nonsense.
It also makes no sense. Sperm only live a couple of months, so logic dictates that they'd be strongest sometime in the first 1-4 weeks. Their youth; not in middle to old age.
Semen retention. I think it is (or used to be) a big thing in certain cultures too.
Yup some Daoist secs historically believed semen contains life force. Via “retention of the semen”, a man could maintain his vital life force and slow aging. However, having sex would generate life force. So you could extend your life by having sex as much as possible while controlling how often you ejaculate.
Is this related to the dudes hanging weights from their balls?
classic mind control shit - play on their ideological and moral hangups to keep them frustrated.
Dude. This but unironically, lol...
I'm positive that nofap november is a psyop to make white guys jittery and angry before major elections.
I'm not being ironic at all. it's a very strange trend that seems self defeating and deliberately frustrating.
Isn't that just copium. Incel is in the name. They don't have a choice in there abstinence.
Incel generally means the mindset rather than the literal definition. Getting laid doesn't stop someone being an incel, and failure to get laid doesn't make someone into one. It's all the misogyny, entitlement and self-loathing that makes someone an incel.
“save his seed” because that’s where a man’s power comes from or some nonsense
How fuckin ironic that now they're all shooting blanks, ahahahahaha
Theres a kind of logic to it, where the longer you go without the more frustration you feel, and then you've got to harness and channel that energy into something productive.
I'm pretty sure anything beyond that is just made-up armchair bro-science.
University proves that people production requires fresh ingredients.
Gotta throw out that day-old stuff, ya know?
Lollllllllllllllll
First an app steals all their wanking data, now this
Those anti-porn enlightened bros just can't catch a break lmfao
For a good thing, just keep coming.
Telling nature you're not fuckable, hrm, let's see where that goes.
DIY birth control. Eventually.
Red pillers finally doing the responsible thing and weeding themselves out of the gene pool lol
Huh... maybe this is why all of those ultra-"Christians" (and I use that term loosely) consider child-birth to be a miracle. All those dudes shoot blanks without having gotten the snip.
✋Thank the Lord in heaven I'm still at three a day✋
