Feminists push porn to make men weak through excessive masturbation, NoFap conspiracy theorist explains

NoFappers — they call themselves fapstronauts — give up masturbating to porn because they’ve convinced themselves that it drains them of their “life force” and makes them lethargic and dull-witted.

Some fapstronauts with suspicious minds have begun to wonder if draining men of energy has been the  secret intent of porn all along — and then start asking themselves just who might be behind such a dastardly scheme.

One NoFap Redditor thinks he’s found the villain: feminists.

“Maybe, and just maybe, feminists have realized what PMO [Porn Masturbation Orgasm] does to men,”  oruto1058 wrote in a post on the NoFap subreddit,

It makes us beta. Weak, fragile creatures unable to make attempts at real women and instead wait for them to make a move on us. We slowly kill our testosterone and our ability to focus and create and instead we become followers ready and willing to do what we are told.

Uh oh!

Maybe the feminists (militant) have realized that there is no way to end the patriarchy from an academic discourse so they come at all men through guerilla tactics i.e. make porn more readily available and encourage all men to indulge.

These days there may be more sex-positive feminists than there are antiporn feminists. And there are feminist pornographers. I’m nonetheless fairly confident that “the feminists (militant)” aren’t the prime movers behind the porn industry — unless you think there’s a secret feminist agenda behind real porn titles like “Dirt Pipe Milkshakes” or “Dude, Where’s My C*nt?”

But go on.

That is why we are seeing a generation of weak men unable to fend for themselves. Men unable to lead their communities.

oruto1058, evidently worried that he was starting to sound like a big ol misogynist, added a caveat that actually made it worse:

This is not to imply that women cannot do so but PMO is definitely make it harder for men to have such ambitions.

He finished with a question:

Does any of this make sense or is it just a conspiracy cooked up in a struggling addict’s head?

Pretty sure it’s the latter, dude — as a number of the NoFappers responding to oruto1058’s post also also suggested.

But others thought he was on to something.

“You’re completely right,” RicardoABB308 decl;ared.

Different cultures have relevated [sic] the importance of sexual energy retention. … the feminism agenda is looking forward to make men weak through sexual liberation. It is a crime against men nature, allied to science as a religion. If it says PMO is healthy, you’ll follow its message.

Revolt against modern world!

That last bit was presumably a reference to Revolt Against the Modern World, a book by Italian fascist philosopher Julius Evola that’s very popular amongst the more pretentious members of today’s alt-right — in case you’re wondering about the sort of reading material some NoFappers are keeping on their nightstands.

KingJonStarkgeryani was also convinced that the feminists were behind it all:

Femmism [sic] created the sexual revolution that led to the birth of the porn industry, o yeah it certainly seems like the stuff they call advancement leads to thensiffering [sic] of millions of men.

“Thensiffering?” Does he mean “the suffering?”

Evidently the new mental sharpness one is supposed to attain after giving up masturbation doesn’t extend to typing or proofreading.

Others, while convinced that there is some nefarious villainy behind porn, weren’t convinced that the OP had found the real culprits.

“No, it’s not the feminists lol,” swilson99 declared. “If anything it’s the frickin Illuminati.”

Well, yeah, they’re the ones making the really good porn. Everyone knows that. Have you seen “Eye of Whore-us?”
