They think not masturbating will give them anything from higher testosterone, better focus, or to a higher IQ.
They think masturbation makes you weaker in every way.
This is of course patently false, and all basically rises from an old athlete myth that sex during training will reduce your progress. Which these dorks then took to an extreme by saying any ejaculation will reduce progress in physical and mental training. Because we all know that the key to success is stored in the balls.
Yet another ridiculous antiscience crusade preying on people’s insecurities and desire for easy answers and solutions.
And there’s gotta be grifters pushing this bullshit and profiting off it via books, online classes or YouTube channels. There always are and they’re always really fucking weird.
Anyway…Thanks for taking the time to explain! I really appreciate it!
I think it’s also been hijacked by christian and muslim fundies in recent years. at least I’ve noticed a religious flavor to a lot of it and when you look at the profiles of people pushing it they’re often active in those groups.
