OK, how do you answer this question:
"Have you stopped drinking vodka every morning?"
Yes? No?

My post featured 2 separate questions.
Indeed, the first one could be answered with a yes or a no.
The second question clearly asks for elaboration instead of a yes or a no reply.
On another note; I see the vote results clearly sway in a particular direction.

Ah, I see, group memberships are paid subscriptions ("We track your progress)! OK, I got it now. No more questions. Any other discussions about them make no sense anymore. They have a business model built around some claims, some of them are unprovable. An egregor, which feeds on sexual energy - not much different from pornhub with a claimed minus sigh in the front. If they do have a lucrative business, I can only applaud.

How do you determine if you "hit a nerve"? By getting a detailed explanation why a question can not be answered with a simple "yes" or "no"? 😉

Anyway, I bet we perfectly understand each other 😊 Though, we can continue discussing logic and correct phrasing (I, actually, love it), it might move us further off-topic.
So, for "fap/no fap" ideas (or, rather, to orgasm or not), let's move to this thread: https://www.likera.com/forum/mybb/showthread.php?tid=3250
For NoFap® stuff, let's continue here. I updated the thread name and the first post again to make it even more clear.
Side note: I think we need a separate thread/sub-forum on discussions, manipulations, and propaganda.

- Stop porn addiction
- Stop sex addition
- Stop compulsive sexual behaviour in general
- Stop masturbation (only)
- No more orgasms at all
- Semen retention is beneficial
- Sexual transmutation
- etc
Add whatever I missed. So, that's not quite simple... In this case, I would "check" several statements. See the poll questions in https://www.likera.com/forum/mybb/showthread.php?tid=3250 - 21 multiple choice variants!

The point of the forum poll is indeed to simplify all that.
Again...the original post is just a single poll question; do you agree with the movement or not?

Well, they say it is about stopping Porn addiction. People involved in this program are called fapstronauts
there is even a reddit on it.

I suppose some of them must get something out of 'self control'
But for me, I prefer imposed control by my wife 😁
(I believe other key holder services are available)
RE: Your opinion on the NoFap® Movement - MIWSTIUS - 09 Apr 2024
Paid group membership?
Certified therapists do exist prior, so the porn addict pays either way to solve a genuine problem.
However, the actual issue I see with this as a movement is their "PR"; what some of their "ambassadors" profess online.
Those people are often piggy back riders, who are in fact in it, to profess their underlying hidden agendas - and therein lies the ugly truth imo.
