Short story: went camping with my buddy, his kid and my daughter. Kids at the time were the same age. We go to leave, in seperate cars, I pull up next to him, his kid is in the back staring at his iPad already, we'd not even left and had a 2hr drive ahead of us.
My daughter asks if she can have her iPad or my phone. No. I said. She starts telling me how she will be bored and trying to convince me to give her a device. Nope stare out the window, be bored, come up with stuff in your head.
15 minutes in, shes knocked out asleep.
I tell my kids all the time, be bored, its good for you. They will please and beg. 5 minutes later they will be singing, wrestling, drawing, reading or just blankly staring into the abyss on their ceiling, mind wandering and doing what it needs to do.
Some time later we found out my buddies kid had anxiety so bad he was pulling out his own hair and biting his nails. He was for lack of a better words addicted to his devices. They worked on it and he seems better now.
Good on you for letting your kid be bored. Constant stimulation is not good for anyone, especially kids! These devices are creating an attention crisis with a lot of kids nowadays not able to focus and sit down for even a few minutes.
Long way of saying what we all know. Teenage boys and young me in general having free access to hardcore porn at the click of a button inside their pocket 24/7 is probably not a good thing.
When I was a kid all we had was a friends older brothers dirty mag or maybe if you were lucky you'd find a video tape where the women and men had hairy bushes and the most depraved it got was anal.
Nowadays you can literally watch alien/tentacle porn and all sorts of disgusting stuff and yes that is exactly what it is, disgusting and no I am no prude, its just we have gotten so far away from normality in this space.
We wonder why boys and mens testosterone and sperm levels have dropped, and why all these weird MGTOW movements have sprung up.
Get your hands off it fellas.
Well, these boys can't experience real intimacy with actual girls, and they can't blow off steam with each other given heterosexual norms, so porn is it. May as well make it the best porn possible.
Why cant they experience intimacy with women? Why can't they blow off steam? Porn is disgusting for the most part TBH. Drugged up liquored up teenage girls with daddy issues getting banged for money by weirdos ain't exactly hot.
Haha came here to say the same thing. My stupid dog barks at everything. The wind, the sun, the rain, ants, if he thinks im home, if he thinks im leaving, if he sees me, if he doesnt see me, he even barks in his friggin sleep. Does he bark when he needs to take a piss or a shit and needs to go outside? Nope. Prick.
Hey man if you it you'll see I am a crypto enthusiast and actually support Bitcoin, its not my go-to crypto but I do like and support it, this was just a devils advocate type approach.
