Every year, in the month of September, social media, 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 take a secondary role. We refer to the "September without Fap”, 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 indulge in “self-indulgence”, but how and where does Fap-Free September happen?

How and where does September without Fap come about?

He "September without Fap"It's a classic practice that emerges every year this month, which simply consists of giving up on self-indulgence, as throughout this month, users must control their impulses in this style. This practice has gained increasing traction on social media over the years, starting as a meme, but has truly reached the point where many take it seriously and use 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 conveys the idea of giving up "self-indulgence" during the month of November. The Spanish translation seemed off to many, as the word "Nut" didn't quite fit in that language, so we opted to use its counterpart, which has a similar meaning and is widely used on social media: Fap. Furthermore, September was chosen, meaning every year, during this month, we celebrate "No Fap September."

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've lost since day one, calling themselves "fallen soldiers." And, as we mentioned, many take it very seriously not to "self-delight," so September without Fap There usually comes a time when your body can rest after eleven months of pure “desire.”

Furthermore, the September without Fap It has a strong connection with the world of anime and video games, and animations, games, videos, and more in the H style are often used by many to satisfy their desires, so during this month many feel prohibited from using them in any way. This is why many, to prevent those seeking to face the challenge from losing, share a large amount of content in this style, using "waifus" from recognized franchises to attract fans' attention. An example of this is the new H animation. 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, as the very next month, December, a similar concept is celebrated, but with one major change: "self-indulgence" is allowed. This is in response to a month in which users who participated can unload after 30 days without this type of activity, and those who go Fap-free in September usually unload the following month, that is, in October.

In short, the September without Fap It emerged in response to a movement in English-speaking communities where "self-indulgence" was prohibited, and it began as a joke or meme. But over the years, it gained more traction, and many embrace it as a must-do and adhere to it to the letter each year.
