The November Thread

[Zacchaeus]

There is but one whole day left before November. What will you do with that last day? Will you shave and trim until you're as smooth as a baby's Poppy? Will you spank the money to your heart's content?

So this is the thread for all of your No Shave or No Fap November adventures, whether you are here to share your experiences or to lead those on the No Fap path astray* (but no porn in the thread, thanks.)

*astray

Personally I plan on doing both. I probably won't be very committed to either though so who knows how long they will last, I guess until it stops being entertaining

 

[Matthew]

I will be seeing how much of a beard I can grow this year...

 

[More Cowbell]

I did No Fap November with a group of friends last year (20 people or so), and we might do it again this year, though not everybody seemed eager to participate. If only three or so people participate I'll probably abstain, since it's just stupid to not fap on your own (in a group everyone undergoes the same fate, you know?). We also debated over doing No Shave November this year, but I think I'll abstain from that as well, because beards don't fit me that well.

Another option that we had in mind was doing a combination: you start with No Shave November, and as soon as you start shaving again, you have to stop fapping. That may be more doable.

I already have a beard since entering college so...I guess I can contribute to the topic by saying my B-Day is Nov 1? Dunno :)

I guess I'm in the no fap thingy lol.

 

[Pernicious]

whats the point of doing either of those things (besides making unfunny jokes about them)

 

[Princess Bubblegum]

Im gonna shave at some time today, I haven't shaved in a month, so it balances out.

 

[Killah]

I can't shave until Friday but I intend to start No Shave November after that.

Don't want to get a head start on my beard-growing or anything!

 

[TEA_DEMON]

fuck i had forgotten about that gif.

i'll be doing movember much to my gf's dismay, but i may as well give no fap november a shot as well? hopefully movember goes better than it did last year, that was terrible...

 

[macle]

will try to do both. good luck everyone.

 

[Relados]

Everyone on my Cross Country team is not shaving. Not sure if I'm going to or not.

 

[zorbees]

no post november for all the j-mans and mattjs out there

 

[Stathakis]

Doing Movember.

grow a Mo', save a bro.

 

[Steamroll]

Then again some people just like to see how much beard they can grow out in a month or how long they can go without spanking it because because why the hell not?

 

[Adamant Zoroark]

Whenever I go without shaving for a week or so, I end up shaving immediately because I end up having to scratch at my neck for like 90% of the day. Now, imagine my case, but not shaving for a whole month. Nope. Not doing that shit.

I'll probably end up doing No Fap November because I'd be much more likely to go for a month without masturbating.... Maybe.

 

[M. Rock]

No-Shave November is going to be hell for me....I grow a full beard really quickly, I'll look so gross after it all. If I get around to it, I might post a weekly picture diary for teh lulz...it's unnatural how fast this thing grows in.
Never heard of no-fap November, probably won't do it. There's not much you can do to prove it, although I guess it's more about personal achievement (seriously, though, if a friend told me that they went cold turkey for a month, I probably wouldn't believe them).

 

[zorbees]

am i the only one who feels scratchier with a short beard than with a long beard?

 

[Fishy]

if this thread is going to be regurgitated every november, people should really start keeping some detailed photographic evidence of their no-shave progress!

did not know about either of these things, thank you! point conceded. though i had heard about the supposedly beneficial effects of letting one's monkey go unpunished, so to speak, in, like, r/nofap before. please someone who actually does this tell us if it works (i.e. did your biological imperative to procreate drive you separate from your own volition into the legs of a willing female)

Please refrain from detailed photographic logs of your no-fap progress

Well, there goes the surprise for my 2K.

I'm not going a whole month without fapping, but I'll probably participate in Movember. My dad's been recently diagnosed with bowel cancer, so awareness of men's health has become quite personal to me, and I'd like to show my support for this cause.

 

[Commander Vimes]

I just shaved for the last time until December. Prepare to be amazed by my incredible lack of facial hair growth.

 

[moonbound]

Well, my stuffy private school won't tolerate anything resembling a beard (they literally will send you to the office, hand you a razor, and tell you you're not allowed to leave until you're clean shaven), and I no-fapped the whole summer for a bet that I won handily and pretty much kept going with. So no-shave isn't an option for me, but I'll participate in the anti-masturbatory part of it.

Nope.
I find it gets worse up until a certain point but if you leave it long enough it starts descreasing again.

There's an amusing SMBC on the matter but I can't find it... Oh well.

I'll probably try for both November challenges.
