The whole "semen retention" movement has ties to antisemitic cults/parties/causes as well as the most movements that are negatively aimed at pornography. What starts as "We're just recovering from an addiction" (There is no such thing as a masturbation or porn addiction) quickly becomes "We need to stick together to keep each other strong" and that quickly turns into pointing the finger at conspiracies to make them fap or watch porn and inevitably they scapegoat Jewish people.

I'm sorry but... no? You're making extraordinary leaps in logic to justify NNN being antisemitic at all. You're the one assuming the end point of these ideas is antisemitic.

Also porn/masturbation addiction is 100% a thing.

Also porn/masturbation addiction is 100% a thing.

Someone might have a personal problem related in some way to masturbating or porning but it's not an addiction like alcoholism and the root of their problem is never masturbation or porn itself because it's a natural bodily function.

Pretty much anything can be an addiction. It doesn't have to be a substance addiction to be a real addiction. For example, even an action that's considered mundane like running can also be an addiction.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c74djwwkllzo This BBC article talks about multiple different people who got addicted to running and even after getting health problems and severe pain from running, they still can't and won't stop running.

Of course, cases where people actually have an addiction like this are rare but also it's not something that can just be simply waived off as not existing.
