On this day in 1933, Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld library in Berlin. The world’s greatest collection of LGBTQ books and scientific papers were looted and later burned, erasing decades of research into sexuality and gender identity. ‘Where they burn books, in the end they will burn humans too’.

After a series of violent threats last week on NoFap Discord, now calls to "Destroy Mindgeek". They don't even know who they're referring to, but they want violence. This is why science on violence in NoFap remains important:this is not self-help & not for youth. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
This might be the most beautiful temperature plot to date in our male orgasm study. It is very rare to have a human body responding in such a clear pattern! The first jump is when manual stimulation starts (~1,100).
This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

Tis the season to...spin misgoyny about scientists on Discord? The NoFap Discord apparently spent Christmas going after me as a "scientist girl" who is "addicted" to porn. Mods left it up. Our latest paper covers some of these attacks against scientists, especially women.

"Sex therapies that harm", updated, teaching today! We have new data on certified sex addiction therapists (CSAT) making poorer diagnostic decisions and data showing how false porn conspiracies cause harm in NoFap. Therapies are not only innocuous or helpful, they can harm!
I worked with a UK crew (Zandland) on this new documentary "Inside Gooning: The Secret World of Porn Addiction" in which we review why porn is not considered addictive scientifically, and what may actually be happening with one man involved in gooning (extended masturbation).
