It's good that the article mentioned that pein addiction isn't real (or at least isn't a specific addiction), but weird that it left out the ties between no-Fap and the alt-right/incel community.

Oh no, is that what they're doing?
They're convincing incels to nofap?
I never really thought about the overlap but you're totally right on that.
God, that explains so much.
My dudes, rub your dick for a bit before you listen to Trump. Trust me on this. You need that pent-up PNC now in order to realize how batshit insane he is.
Bunch of wankers
At first I thought this was stupid, and it is for other reasons, but then I realized that gen z and alpha in the US might legitimately need counseling. Teens and young adults are having less sex. I’d imagine they have a similar sex drive compared to previous generations, but their outlet is themselves.
An app will never be the answer, but there’s assuredly an average number of sex addicts currently feeling shame for a basic human instinct gone haywire. If not for the fact that I’ve been hearing middle schoolers talking about gooning, this thought would never have struck me.
I am pretty sure they have lower drive actually
Why do you say that?
Because they are having less sex.
And consuming more porn than their parents by far. You wouldn’t suggest that vegans have a smaller appetite because they’re no longer eating animal products, right?

That's why if I use apps to track sensitive data (can also be heath related, bad habits etc) i use a generic app (not things like HeartBeat or SpankTheMonkey), with secret codes and acronyms instead of plain labels
