Jesus christ. Even nofap is being called a right wing movement now? Is this like when the media was associating fitness with the right wing and was calling gyms neo-Nazi recruiting centers? How degenerate do we have to become in order to claim our liberal creds under this bizarre zeitgeist?
Yes, certainly, that seems to be the case now, even if it wasn't initially.
A very stupid analysis supports that idea: Looking at subreddit overlap with r/nofap reveals many right-wing adjacent subreddits in the top 10: MGTOW and asktrp (ask the red pill).
I've never seen any suggestion in scientific literature that "nofap" is beneficial or healthy in any way that could be considered self-improvement, though I'm open to the idea.
Too much of anything is unhealthy. From what I've seen of that community it's basically guys who are addicted to porn and masturbation, they do it compulsively, potentially for multiple hours every day, instead of doing other things. If they change that habit they'll almost certainly benefit.
I definitely think that today's nofap and other similarly dubious "bodily control" temperance movements are predominantly associated with those who hold right-wing views.
It's not to suggest that all forms of temperance are affiliated with the right-wing—many aren't, and some have even been noted in sibling comments.
