I THINK he's trying to say it's pointless to have this thread because it's healthier to jerk off and your gaining nothing from not jerking off.
He could be saying it's human instinct to want to jerk off, and by doing this challenge you're just torturing yourself.
well it's human instinct to forget, really
and if he's essentially saying this thread is pointless, that's pretty dismissive; not as like a banworthy thing, but just in general. besides, the benefits mostly come from having a higher libido, re-absorbing the protein in the semen, etc.
i also don't think this thread was brought up as something that "works" as much as it was just "let's see if we
can"
