No Nut November

No Nut November is an internet challenge revolving around abstinence, in which participants abstain from masturbating during the month of November. But having Sex during the No Nut November is allowed. Although No Nut November was originally intended to be satirical, some participants claim that abstaining from ejaculating and watching pornography has health benefits. An Urban Dictionary entry for No Nut November was published in 2011, and, in 2017, the movement started to gain popularity on social media. It is associated with the NoFap community on Reddit, which encourages its members not to masturbate. The Reddit community /r/NoNutNovember grew from 16,500 subscribers in November 2018 to 52,000 subscribers as of November 2019.

After several public figures, such as Paul Joseph Watson promoted the campaign, EJ Dickson of Rolling Stone Magazine has suggested that the movement has been coopted by the far-right. Vice Media criticized the challenge in 2018 after followers sent threats to xHamster's Twitter account.
