Nofapper

About 64 percent of NoFappers had developed tastes for porn that had become extreme or deviant.

Is porn making us unhealthy too? That’s certainly the opinion of NoFappers and some feminists, but their approaches differ.

Reference is also made to groups such as Tradcons and NoFappers in the manosphere. […] NoFappers are men seeking to abstain from pornography and masturbation because they believe that this will enable them to preserve testosterone and achieve greater sexual power and enlightenment.

NoFappers speak about ‘rebooting’ their brains – that is to say, resetting or recalibrating their sexual desire back to its ‘factory setting’.

NoFappers continuously encourage each other and demand that their activities are sublimated into more productive activities, so that the energy can be retained.

Journalist Katie Bishop (2019) further explains that “there is also a consensus among many NoFappers (who often brand themselves ‘Fapstronauts’) that refraining from masturbation can lead to ‘superpowers,’ ranging from increased energy and confidence to commanding respect from peers or curing social anxiety.”
