'''Fapstinence''' or '''NoFap''' is a [[dating]] strategy used by [[feminization|low-T]] and [[love-shy]] men on the [[inceldom spectrum]] that consists of avoiding [[masturbation]] and [[porn]]ography consumption. Fapstinents believe this will inevitably increase their T levels and thereby increase their [[confidence]] and consequently their ability to do [[cold approach]] or [[warm approach]] [[women]], and as such, help them to eventually [[deincelize]]. Some nofappers also believe this T increase would also affect their [[Muscle theory|muscle]] or bones positively, i.e. using it as a [[looksmaxxing]] technique.
