Why aren't you self-flagellating to excise your sins via pain and bring yourself closer to God and virtuous living?
Because I'm on a nofap.

That's child's play. I do nofap, cold showers, sleep without a pillow, self-flaggelate, and meditate on my inevitable death every day.

Because I'm dom and not a sub.

because even the church saw that practice as fanatical when too many people took to it during plagues. just casually go to church to read between the lines and pick up on morally admirable lessons, read various hero myths, aspire to be good and strong and virtuous. christ is the moral endgame and every knight, warrior, and demi god in myth is the physical endgame.

lmao wtf is up with those shitty nunchucks? Religion fags btfo
I've been wanting to make a makeshift flog by sticking razor blades in a belt and whipping myself with it. I also wanna start cutting my balls desu. I deserve suffering

Because physical exercise and paying attention to the mortal body beyond most basic maintenance is a sin anyway.
Lifting for the Old Gods of my ancestors is way more fun, tbqh.
