Help and Advice

This page covers useful information for anyone participating in No Nut November. While the challenge is mostly a fun internet challenge where users are tasked to not ejaculate for the month of November, we also believe that the challenge, along with the help and advice stated in this page, could potentially help individuals who may be looking to overcome addictions.

Before November

 * As with many things, prep work is key, NNN is no different. Start out by first identifying why you want to do this. Whether it’s for the meme or for genuine self improvement it doesn’t really matter, just come into the challenge with the attitude that you’re going to give it your all and know what you’ll be sacrificing if you give up. -u/moistestboy

During November

 * Getting into a mindset that this is a temporary challenge for you is a great way to start this journey. Thinking about how this long and gruelling journey will have an end with a blast of reward will keep you motivated and keep you going.
 * You can see this challenge as an opportunity to improve yourself in multiple areas. Since not nutting is the practice of self control, use this as your advantage and put that skill into other areas of your life such as working out, reading, socializing, learning a new instrument and many more.
 * Be responsible and smarter. Don’t just admit your flaws and not work on them and fall back everytime you get stressed, that will put you in a loop. So don’t click on everything, unfollow people who can get to you (your ex/crush/insta thots/soft nudes etc.), make the social media algorithms work for you. Change your approach with women -don’t stare at females and be more respectful of them. Stop seeing them as sex objects and start seeing and treating them as real people like you and me.

From NNN Veterans

 * Don't focus on the December 1st big nut. Let me be honest, it's not that much better than your average nut (considering you have healthy masturbation habits). People definitely overhype it and end up losing NNN in the days 20-29 because they want it sooner. Don't take my word for it though, you can go back to previous year's posts to read how disappointed people were with it. -u/Jello_Fat

Tips

 * DON'T EDGE! If you don't know the meaning of edging, it's when you purposefully get close to climax but stopping just before so you don't ejaculate/orgasm. NEVER DO THIS! It is extremely risky, and doesn't help with the urges but just makes it worse instead. Many have failed because of this. A few sides tips to avoid doing this listed below:
 * Leave your phone out of washroom. Just go in there to do your business and leave.
 * Keep your phone away when you're about to sleep. Not only is this going to make your sleep better, but it'll also lower the chances of you getting distracted in your most vulnerable time. Read a book instead.
 * Blocking NSFW websites. Even if you think that you have the self control to not visit risky websites, it's still a good practice to just block them through an extension on your browser. Here's BlockSite on Firefox and on Chrome.
 * Get another activity to distract yourself from the urge. As long as the said activity doesn't give you the urge to ejaculate, we highly encourage you to pick up different activities to try out to get your mind off of the urge. For example: starting to work out, reading, writing, learning a new musical instrument and drawing just to give a few examples.
 * Working out. Given that we're in a different world right now, it's difficult to have a workout going indoors. Or if you don't know how to get started, there's a very simple and easy follow guide online that requires little to no equipment. hybridcalisthenics
 * Do something else when you get the urge. One of the best ways to not nut for a month is to quickly distract yourself. From the community, it has been said that listening to music, going for a walk or a cold shower.
 * Showers. It is said by a large amount by the NNN participators that cold showers are extremely beneficial. Not only does it wake you up and boosts you do your tasks for the day, but it also kills your libido and thus keep you in the game! Added to this, there are health benefits to cold showers like increase in endorphins, increase metabolism and improve circulation.
 * Ok, like 80% of comrades will tell you to start cold showers to help with urges. But keep in mind, if you aren't used to them, cold showers require additional willpower on top of already doing the tough NNN. If a nice warm shower is the only piece of comfort you have to look forward to in your dopamine deprived, non orgasming day, then just have the damn warm shower. Quickly wash your penis and stop touching it, you'll be ok. -u/Jello_Fat
