Wilson's material prominently undergirds the internet fads "NoFap" and "No Nut November",[13] with his TED-X talk often linked in relevant fora in spite of the note posted by TED at the top of the recording: βThis talk contains several assertions that are not supported by academically respected studies in medicine and psychology. While some viewers might find advice provided in this talk to be helpful, please do not look to this talk for medical advice.β[9] According to historian Brian M. Watson, Wilson "with no scientific training or background ...has made a career peddling pseudoscience."[14]
