    It used to be called Movember and was meant to highlight mens sexual health. Testicular and prostate cancer.

    Not ejaculating can increase the risk of prostate cancer and reduces the chance of you spotting testicular cancer lumps.

    So people have switched from a healthy activity and awareness campaign to a stupid, unhealthy and pointless campaign.

    Well done.

      They’re different things. Movember still exists. NNN started as a meme evolving from the nofap movement only because of alliteration.

      I quite liked the idea of Movember when I was younger, it seemed like a neat idea to grow a mustache over the month with some of your homies.

      Nowadays I have a beard thanks to the lockdowns and the reduced shame of it looking weird at the start so no need for Movember anymore.
