Medical expert has warned men against taking part in sex challenge that starts next month

Medical expert has warned men against taking part in sex challenge that starts next month

Could you imagine a November without nuts?

In a little over two weeks there are going to be some misguided souls who believe that to improve the month of November they must be emancipated from their own ejaculation.

Yes, it's that tiresome trend of 'No Nut November' where a bunch of single blokes are going to either try and pretend to have gone a whole month without having a w**k or they're genuinely going to do it.

These guys claim that abstaining from blowing their beans helps boost their mental health and clarity, as well as boosting their sperm count and testosterone levels so when they do finally get back to it in December they'll achieve some kind of sexual nirvana.

That's what's supposed to happen, but according to an actual medical expert the truth is somewhat different.

Dr Rena Malik explained that abstaining from ejaculation might help boost your fertility when you started having sex again, but it was probably not worth missing out on the benefits that come with masturbation.

Participating in No Nut November isn't going to wreck your health, but the doc explained that choking the chicken carried the benefits of 'better sleep, decreased heart rate, decreased stress and a lot of increase in feel good hormones'.

She said: "People can get a lot of pain and discomfort in their pelvic floor, or their testicles. A lot of you guys have heard of 'blue balls'."

It seems like it's best to let go of the idea of No Nut November being the key to self-improvement, and even if you try to get through the month without experiencing pleasure your body might decide to nut while you're asleep.

Dr Karan Rajan explained that your body will still need to get rid of excess sperm from time to time, meaning you'd be likely to get some wet dreams.

He said that if your body can't expel the fluid then it'll reabsorb it to avoid your gonads swelling up to unfeasibly large sizes.

There have been health experts who've said that demonstrating to yourself that you have self-discipline and control over your bodily urges makes you feel good.

This doesn't mean abstaining from sexual activity for a calendar month is the way to go about it, so do yourself a favour and enjoy a w**k every now and then in November.

Your sleep patterns and overall health would seem to thank you for it.

It's a mug's game, that No Nut November, treat yourself every now and then instead.
