I wish more men would have this conversation. I’m raising 5 sons and I decided early on to have some really blunt, uncomfortable conversations with them (age appropriate of course), to combat this. It’s worked, as far as I know. One kid, now adult, sometimes struggles with it. Porn, and toxic masculinity traits. But he talks about it openly and actively combats it.

You quit porn to show respect for your partner! Congrats. As a woman, whose ex husband was addicted to porn, what you did is commendable. This wasn’t the sole reason he earned the title of ex husband, but it was a massive contributing factor.

Currently learning tech stuff to improve digital privacy. Not to a totally anonymous level, but better than completely oblivious. Attempting not to annoy my family with digital security info dumps. Finally found time to install Linux on an old laptop to mess around with. Also trying to find online communities via decentralised platforms because I deleted everything Meta. Neurodivergent safe spaces are the one thing I miss, so if anyone has any suggestions to check out please let me know.

I’m still hyper focused on reading, this is a life long thing.

This month my intense fixation is learning about GrapheneOS and looking at Pixel phones so I can mess around with that. Then I had to dive into researching Garmin watches because I rely on my Apple Watch a lot to keep daily life functioning (hello time blindness 😂).
