As was suggested in the episode, there's a surprising amount of overlap between the NoFap community and the Alpha Men / RedPill communities.
I can't really explain it.
Edit: found my previous post on the matter:
On a related note that's probably TMI, the MRA idiot in my class (one of them at least) once said something about how masterbating was damaging psychologically because it makes you think you don't need to get laid, and I was so fucking pissed by that that that same evening I masterbated just to defy him.

To build on Frank West's explanation, it's the incel/MRA/PUA collective's quasi-Augustine wing. They admire religious asceticism and austere piety, but for them actually becoming religious is a no-go. So they secularize and technologize the part they think is the most relevant, i.e. don't touch the whangus, and make it into a devotional goal - "if I stop jerking it, I'll totally fix everything that's wrong with me and finally be able to get laid,
just as as I prayed for just as my web buddies scientifically proved"
