No Nut November

'No Nut November''' is a yearly internet challenge where participants are required to go through the entire month of November without ejaculating, or nutting. While the idea of the challenge originated in 2011, it only began to gain traction in 2017.

History


The idea of No Nut November started in 2011 by an Urban Dictionary user named bicboi6969696969, who submitted an entry into the site for "No Nut November," defining it as a challenge in which "an individual must not masturbate for the month of November," but it was only in 2017 where the challenge started to become popular on social media. An official subreddit, r/nonutnovember, was created on 3 November 2017 by a user named Yeeval. As of 2020, the subreddit's member count ballooned to 85,000 users, as compared to the 52,000 user count in 2019, and the 16,500 user count in 2018. Several spinoffs of No Nut November (i.e. Destroy Dick December) have been conceived as a testament to the challenge's popularity online.

Rules
These are the official rules of No Nut November as endorsed by the official subreddit.
 * 1) Don't Nut. All forms of nutting are considered to be a disqualification. Any form of orgasm will result in disqualification, the physical nut is allowed, which is why pre-cum is, but if you go through a physical sensation of an orgasm, you are disqualified from No Nut November. Only involuntary wet dreams are an exception to this rule, and lucid wet dreams will result in disqualification if you are willingly trying to nut. If you are unwillingly nutting, such as in a wet dream, you may still participate. You may watch pornography, masturbate or even have sex, but nutting by climaxing will disqualify you.
 * 2) No Coupons. Any forms of Nut Coupons, including birthday sex or any other 'One-Time freebie' coupons, will instantly disqualify you from this challenge. Those who spread these and anything NSFW are called 'Nut Dissenters'. If you are looking for loopholes such as these, then you have already lost. There are no 'three strikes' either.
 * 3) Uncontrolled Nuts: No Nut November is about making the conscious decision to not orgasm, and to fight against sex/pornography addiction. Because wet dreams are a natural body response that participants are normally unable to control, wet dreams do not disqualify them from No Nut November. However, if the said dream is a lucid one, then the participant is automatically disqualified.
 * 4) All may participate: Participation is allowed by all. There are no restrictions as to who may participate.
 * 5) Begin and Finish NNN in your timezone: You must begin this challenge during November 1st in your local timezone, and end when it has reached Dec 1st. Moving to other timezones is possible.
