=== Defamation lawsuit ===
Nicole Prause, a neuroscientist who studies sexual science has done research into porn addiction and found no scientific basis for it. After having publicly questioned the scientific validity of beliefs held by nofappers, she started to receive death threats from them to which she responded in a snide and bashing manner on social media.<ref>https://www.vice.com/en/article/ywa97m/nofap-founder-suing-a-neuroscientist-no-nut-november</ref> She also broadbrushed the community as political extremists of various kinds causing the owner of the most prominent NoFap forum, Alexander Rhodes, to sue Prause in 2019 on grounds of defamation, also claiming Prause had falsely stated NoFap would have engaged in stalking.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRkgnQht0eY</ref>
