It’s a neurological issue stemming from the protective instinct of parents.
Kinda sad actually, when you consider that Aaron Swartz was a member of the RSS working group at 14, after already winning a prize for an online encyclopedia at 12.
- wincy 4y agoI wish my single mom had had the technical savvy to keep me from becoming a porn addict at 12. I had erectile dysfunction when I finally had my first real sexual encounter and it took years to learn how to be with a real woman versus looking at a screen. It also spread into worse more risky behaviors in my adulthood, and I think exacerbated my social shyness and kept me years back in learning how to socialize. I’m definitely severely restricting the internet for my two daughters, out of a sense of realism and not due to some “neurological issue”.
- cannabis_sam 4y agoThank you for proving my point. I also discovered (far more) disturbing porn at 12, but it actually doesn’t preclude you from treating your sexual partners with respect. (And yes, I had several dysfunctional sexual encounters before I actually grew up) Inevitably your daughters will discover the unavoidable loopholes. (Edit: the anger you’re feeling right now is exactly the neurological issue I’m talking about)
