Destroy Dick December is a related internet challenge following No Nut November which serves as a counterpoint, encouraging participants to take part in sexual activities such as intercourse and masturbation, after abstaining from them during the previous month. Each day, participants in the challenge ejaculate a number of times equal to the day's place in the month, starting with one "nut" on the first of December, and ending with 31 "nuts" on the final day. In total, that is 496 "nuts" in December.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2017-11-15|title=Destroy Dick December Is the New Month Long Masturbation Challenge|url=https://www.dailydot.com/unclick/destroy-dick-december-masturbation-challenge-meme/|access-date=2020-11-22|website=The Daily Dot|language=en-US}}</ref> |

No Nut November is an internet challenge revolving around male abstinence from masturbation, sex and ejaculation (or colloquially "to nut") during the month of November.[1] It originated in late 2010 and grew in popularity on social media during and after 2017.[2]
History
Although No Nut November was originally intended to be satirical, some participants claim that abstaining from ejaculating and not watching pornography has health benefits.[3][1] An Urban Dictionary entry for No Nut November was published in 2011, and, in 2017, the movement started to gain popularity on social media.[2] It is associated with the NoFap community on Reddit, which encourages its members not to masturbate.[1] The Reddit community /r/NoNutNovember grew from 16,500 subscribers in November 2018[4] to 52,000 subscribers in November 2019.[3]
After some far-right public figures, including Paul Joseph Watson, promoted the campaign, E. J. Dickson of Rolling Stone suggested that the movement had been co-opted by the far-right.[3] Vice criticized the challenge in 2018 after adherents sent threats to xHamster on Twitter, similarily saying it had been co-opted by far-right figures.[5]
