Fighting masturbation provokes depression, anxiety and suicide.

Scientists decided to test the scientific validity of the NoFap movement, which claims that abstinence can literally reset the mind and body health, as well as get rid of erectile dysfunction, depression and anxiety. The researchers analyzed the behavior of 417 people who had heard about the community, of which 257 participated in it personally. It turned out that forum visitors are regularly confronted with trolling and intimidating statements. A study has proven that anti-masturbation communities increase anxiety rather than help alleviate mental health problems. Moreover, their members are regularly exposed to toxic content that promotes suicidal thoughts.
