It's still a "fun self-control challenge" if you just stop watching porn for the month. Nothing wrong with that. But the masturbation part is just silly religious stuff with a dash of prostate cancer.

    I'd be fascinated to see all the medical data of men who suddenly developed prostate cancer in December because they didn't wank in November.

    It's same data of men who suddenly develop lung cancer after their first month of smoking. Doesn't mean it won't come back and bite you in the long term.

    "In all, men who averaged 4.6–7 ejaculations a week were 36% less likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer before the age of 70 than men who ejaculated less than 2.3 times a week on average."

    - a havard article, based on an australian study.

    but with the masturbation part

    Funny, because I never mentioned masturbation. I don't think anyone except the most die-hard members of the NNN/NoFap/etc. community would argue that masturbation in itself is wrong or unhealthy. The original "goal" of the challenge was to curb pornography consumption. I think most people would agree that the spirit of NNN is a lot closer to "no porn november" than "no ejaculation november."
