China appears to have a history of discouraging masturbation in general. In 2017, China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) blamed overconsumption of fizzy drinks, computer gaming, and masturbation for the poor health of young people, and announced the rejection of army recruits that had a varicocele (an enlargement of a vein in the testicles, associated with infertility) which they attributed to excessive masturbation.<ref>https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-41039233</ref> | China appears to have a history of discouraging masturbation in general.

China's aversion to masturbation can perhaps be explained by traditional Chinese beliefs that attribute a loss of "jing" (vital energy) to men as a result of ejaculation. As a result of this belief, abstinence from masturbation and refraining from ejaculation during sex (coitus reservatus) is commonly prescribed by practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) as a remedy for several health issues.<ref>https://healthinflow.com.au/nourish-jing-essence-diet/</ref> | China's aversion to masturbation can perhaps be explained by traditional Chinese beliefs that attribute a loss of "jing" (vital energy) to men as a result of ejaculation.

Nofappers are a subset of the [[manosphere]] entirely focused on fapstinence. These nofappers often congregate on various platforms titled NoFap. They believe that semen-retention will help with [[confidence]] levels, assertiveness, [[Reproductive success|success]] with [[dating]], and other behaviors associated with being high-T. | Nofappers are a subset of the [[manosphere]] entirely focused on fapstinence.

Another subgroup of the fapstinence effort, is the group No Nut November. The main goal of this group is to avoid ejaculating for an entire month, typically the month of November. This month was largely randomly chosen, so there is no fixed commemoration. However, it has largely the same end goal as the other major fapstinence group, NoFap, although each adherent has slight differences in its manifestations. As a counterpoint, Destroy Dick December is by some embraced to make good for the previous month of abstinence.<ref>https://www.dailydot.com/unclick/destroy-dick-december-masturbation-challenge-meme/</ref> | Another subgroup of the fapstinence effort, is the group No Nut November.
