What is the meaning of No Nut November?
“No” means “no” in English. “Nut” means “nuts” in its classic translation and can designate in a pictorial way the testicles but also be used more vulgarly to “ejaculate”. And “November” for the month of “November”. “No Nut November” means “No ejaculation in November”.
What is the principle of the Not Nut November challenge?
It is a challenge that offers men to not ejaculating for a month, in this case the month of november. No masturbation And no sexual intercourse therefore to avoid any accident! Because if “a man can control ejaculation during sexual activity, as long as he is below the ejaculatory threshold. Beyond that there is no more control possible“ recalls Dr Sylvain Mimoun in the book “The Masculine Universe”. Clear : the man participating in Not Nut November must be sober for a month if he wants to complete the challenge. This challenge would have been first launched in 2010 but was popularized from 2017 on the American social network Reddit. More than 110,000 men subscribe to the dedicated page for the event.
Good for health: “I’m not sure”
“No scientific study has shown any benefit or negative effect of abstinence for 1 month” answers Dr Ala Chebbi, urologist and andrologist surgeon at the Paris Saint-Joseph Hospital Group. So what interests ? To show oneself voluntary, brave ? On Twitter, during the 2021 challenge, Tibo InShape said “never let it down“. Others, anonymous, declared that it was necessary “stay strong”. “I am not not sure it’s very good psychologically, comments Dr Antoine Faix, urologist, andrologist and sexologist from the French Urologist Association (AFU). And physiologically it is certainly not neutral. For the sperm For example, its quality is less good after 4 to 5 days. It is therefore not better if we wait to have sex. On the contrary, it is even the opposite. If the challenge had at least the aim ofdraw attention to pathologies of the male genital tract, to promote the consultation of young men to talk about sexual health, male contraception orself-palpation of the testicles or cancer screening among older people, it would make more sense but there we are not far from stupid” concludes our interlocutor.
