I notice YourBrainRebalanced looks very similar to NoFap. What are the differences between the two sites? Which one came first, and why was a second one that is so similar started? Thanks!
I don't get why we need two. It would be more powerful, IMHO, if everyone shared the same one. The explanation I've seen is that these forums were more science focussed while the NoFap forums were more anti-masturbation. But to be honest they seem the same to me, though the NoFap forums are more active. And now they are both owned by the same guy.
I like the more positive name of this site -- focused on the positive goal we are trying to reach, not something we are trying to avoid. Also I think the "NoFap" name is kind of embarrassing, frankly. It's really casual and slang-y. "YourBrainRebalanced" is a lot, but it is something that could be more comfortably recommended to friends.
Agreed, it's stranger in the UK because 'fap' isn't a term we use. Still, there is a more active community there, and a rose by any other name ...
I had never heard the term "fap" until discovering that site and had to look it up on internet. I feel like it's something more well-known among college-aged guys. That was I think the demographic of the founders, and probably the target they had in mind. Maybe they should call it "NoJerk" and then they could use the double meaning to kick out anybody who causes problems on the site. LOL
