It's officially December 1 and that means there are loads of men across the globe who will be celebrating.

They're not cheering because they can finally get in the mood for Christmas and it's certainly nothing to do with there being just 30 days left until New Year's Eve.

The beginning of December signals the end of No Nut November, which means participants will finally be able to masturbate after abstaining for the whole month.

There are thousands of people who have been taking part in NNN 2021 and the Reddit page dedicated to the annual event is climaxing with excitement that November is officially over.

Some people admitted to breaking the rules on the final day and they were absolutely devastated they couldn't last a little longer.

The annual tradition sees men abstain from masturbating and sex for a whole month to practice self-control and they claim it can even help improve mental clarity and overall general wellbeing.

There are variations in what you're allowed to do depending on the severity of dedication.

Some people will avoid all hanky panky with their penis until the month is over, however others believe you can still masturbate or have sex as long as you don't finish.

According to the official NNN emergency broadcast, the most stringent participants aren't allowed to 'fap' or even 'edge' for the 30 days and watching porn is also illegal. You're also only allowed one wet dream for the whole month.

While some participants believe taking part in the event will help their body, a doctor kind of knocked those claims on the head.

Dr Karan Rajan revealed in a TikTok video: "Wet dreams or nocturnal emissions aren't always about sexual arousal. Nocturnal emissions are a way for the body to clear out sperm.

"Your sperm has an expiration date, so if you haven't fired your gooey cannon in a while, your body gets rid of the old stuff while you sleep."

"You're a sperm recycling factory. Any sperm that reach their sell-by date and aren't used up get broken down and reabsorbed by your body.

"This is especially important for men that have had vasectomies because they still produce sperm.

"If your body didn't reabsorb sperm your dingleberries would swell up."

The movement has been around since the early 2010s, however it exploded in popularity over the last two years thanks to pandemic-related isolation giving some men another reason to challenge themselves.
