What is nofap?

The term “NoFap” (now a trademarked name and business) came from the word “fap,” which is internet lingo for the sound of jerking off. You know — fapfapfapfap.

What started as a casual discussion is now a website and organization that promotes quitting not just masturbation but also porn and other sexual behaviors.

The target audience appears to be predominantly straight men, with smaller pockets of women and LGBTQIA+ folks.

Proponents argue that adopting the NoFap lifestyle offers a range of benefits, from mental clarity to muscle growth. But is there any truth behind these claims?
