Fapping, Fascism, and What NPR Believes Is Good for Men

National Public Radio is worried about the rise of anti-masturbation challenges and online groups to support men who choose to stop masturbating.

Frida Ghitis : Left unchecked, fewer men “fapping” (slang for masturbating) to online pornography might precipitate an epidemic of depression, anxiety, and even right-wing extremism.

Ghitis says NPR 's article seeks to discredit the movement and discourage people from kicking the habit.

In general, boys today are more insecure and antisocial, lack ambition, and are uninterested in dating girls than earlier cohorts.

The solution is simple, though not easy: quit fapping. We're made for much greater things, and porn was, is, and always will be a pernicious obstacle to happy men and healthy societies.
