Every year, in the month of September, social networks, especially in Latin America, “celebrate” an event that lasts 30 days of the month and that for many is considered a meme within the community, but for others it is a moment of “desire” to assume a secondary role. We refer to the “Fap-Free September”, the time of year when users try to put aside their appetite for “tasty” things so that, throughout the month of September, they do not do the “self-delicious”, but how and where does September without Fap?

How and where does Fap-Free September come about?

He "Fap-Free September"It's a classic practice that appears every year this month, which simply consists of giving up on "self-indulging", since throughout this month users must control their impulses of this style. This practice has gained more and more traction on social networks over the years, starting as a meme, but it has really reached the point where many take it seriously and take advantage of this month to "cleanse" themselves of their "dirty" feelings.

As for its true origin, it arose in response to another month used in English-speaking communities, the so-called “Nut Free November”, a play on words in English that has the same idea of giving up on “self-indulgence” during the month of November. And the translation into Spanish seemed bad to many, since the word “Nut” didn’t sound very good in this language, so it was decided to use its counterpart with a similar meaning and widely used on social media: Fap. In addition, September was chosen, so every year, and during that month, September without Fap is celebrated.

Throughout the month, users of social media They take advantage of this to generate all kinds of content, for example those who take the opportunity to laugh at the situation, creating memes like the one they lost from day one, calling themselves “fallen soldiers”. And, as we mentioned, many take it very seriously not to do the “self-delicious”, so Fap-Free September There usually comes a time when your body can rest after eleven months of pure “desire.”

Furthermore, the Fap-Free September It has a strong relationship with the world of anime and video games, and animations, games, videos or more in the H style are often used by many to calm their desires, so during this month many feel forbidden to use them in any way. normal way. That is why there are many who, so that those seeking to face the challenge lose, share a large amount of content of this style, using “waifus” from recognized franchises to attract the attention of fans. An example of this is the new animation H of Maple star between Nobara and Itadori of Jujutsu Kaisen which premiered a few days ago.

Finally, the original version of Nut Free November It has its “prize” for many, since the following month, December, a similar concept is celebrated, but with one main change: “self-delicious” is allowed. This is in response to a month in which users who participated can unload after 30 days without this type of action and those who do September without Fap usually unload the following month, that is, in October.

In short, the Fap-Free September It arose in response to a movement in English-speaking communities where “self-indulgence” was prohibited and which began as a joke or meme. But over the years it has gained more traction, and many people take it as something to be done and each year they comply with it to the letter.
