Trying to regulate it is close to the alt right christians doing the same thing. My mom left me a book about how touching myself would lead to drugs and hell eventually.

ISIS enforced abstinence too. It makes their members easier to agitate and more violent, less rational. Plus it lets them promise a reward in the afterlife.

I can attest to this. I got a chemical burn on my dick and the skin was super sensitive and I couldn’t touch it at all for a couple weeks. I was going fucking insane. I was ready to join ISIS. This shits no joke. Masturbate, people.

Fun fact corn flakes were initially released in the thought of them being so bland they would remove your desire to masturbate.

Basically like "I really want to cum but instead I'll just eat this bowl of cereal".

Kellogg also recommended all his patients undergo circumcision to lower the evil temptation of masturbation.

Yeah, he had a bunch of really weird ideas especially about sex and masturbating.

NNN is not a forced regulation, it's a choice and challenge. Most people who participate in NNN don't link touching yourself to Satan, they do it for the challenge.
