    I don’t know if that was NNN, that sounds more like movember where you grow a mustache for prostate cancer awareness.

    It’s also a bit counterintuitive to do something for prostate cancer that raises your risk of said disease, since regular ejaculations have shown to be somewhat protective.

      I think it started as No Shave November for prostate cancer awareness, then somewhere along the way the internet started memeing No Nut November the same way Dicks out for Harambe became a meme and then now supposedly it’s been co-opted by incels. No Shave November then changed to Movember, although they may be interchangeable. At least that’s the timeline I recall it happening.
