Because they were trying to come up with the most cringe word possible in order to make us look like absolute fools. How about their slogan too: "get a new grip on life." It's kind of off putting... a sexual innuendo? Is that really necessary. Surely they thought it was clever.
Yes I agree that term is strange, as I understand it, "astro" means stars and "naut" means sailor. So an astronaut is a sailor among the stars. A fapstronaut would be what? Anyway, no need to take it too seriously.
I think because the rocket symbolizes an erection and the launch symbolizes the ejaculation after you finish masturbating. Or that’s what the founder of this website thought.
well wouldn't it suck it into some important parts of the rocket like in that one episode of spongebob okay so I searched it up and astronauts apparently should masturbate because it relases bacteria from the prostate you learn something new everyday
Yes, it doesn't help communicate the seriousness of the cause does it? I think historically this whole thing started as a light-hearted challenge, can you give up masturbation for a week/month/etc. No doubt somewhat inspired by that episode of Seinfeld the seriousness of our addictions only became clear when we fail these challenges, maybe even multiple times.
My perspective is that PMO is so profoundly entrenched throughout the world, that to escape it requires (in a way) leaving its gravitational pull just like an astronaut does leaving Earth on a powerful rocket. And just like astronauts, we have to prepare and summon the strength to survive this journey successfully. Thanks to everyone that helps to keep this site up and working for all of the people who need it most.
Bacteria can be released a bit if you urinate after sex. But semen it's not a very practical way to do so. And bacteria from what? Urinary tract infection in men are rare.
