      Serious sexual repression I think. Conservatives publicly treat sex and sexuality as things that are dirty and sinful. Sometimes they get caught out for doing weird shit because they can’t escape from their inherent human sexual urges.

      I honestly think a lot of it is probably rooted in childhood and generational trauma (e.g. their parent(s) physically/verbally abused them for sexual curiosity at a young age, just as their grandparents’ did to their parents, and so on).

      As my friends who specialize in trauma therapy like to say, a majority of the weird/evil shit we see in the world is rooted in trauma.

      God forbid anyone actually enjoys sex. It must be really confusing to know that God gave women clitorises. Clitori?

    Mike Johnson goes to the doctor for a checkup.

    Doctor says, “Mr. Speaker, you’ve got to stop masturbating.”

    Johnson says, “Why?”

    Doctor says, “So I can examine you.”

    If my parent asked me to monitor their porn intake I’d tell them to talk to a clinical sexologist because what the actual fuck‽ And if they asked about mine I’d honestly be concerned that there’s something incestous there.

    Like I’m super pro sex ed and parent-child communication on such things. But there are things that you’d like to keep private from that relationship unless it’s important. I’m so grateful I don’t know anything about my parents’ masturbation habits

      Yeah, the concept isn’t that much different than going to AA meetings, but having your minor son be your accountability partner is pretty weird.

        Having your kid be your AA sponsor also sounds pretty dang irresponsible in most cases. But also compulsive porn consumption is something that’s less to be solved with “even more Christian AA” than it is with a clinical sexologist because there’s usually quite a bit going on there and many times it’s more related to being ashamed of having healthy sexual desires than it it is an addiction. But also it’s having your kid monitor your porn consumption. Not a friend. Not your spouse. Your child.

        It looks more like a control thing to me. He wanted to see his son’s porn habits and offered his own in return as an “olive branch”. And I wonder if both just use another device to consume porn without the other knowing.

    Knew before I read the article that it was gonna be Covenant Eyes. Aka the same software “monitoring” Josh Duggar, that he got around with a partition. Super effective stuff. I’m guessing about 90% of fundie men that use it also have partitions, because you don’t pay for software to monitor your every move unless you know you’re not able/willing to control yourself.

    Huh? That’s so ridiculous it can’t possibly be true.

    Can we get another source?

    Edit: yeah. This is also reported by plenty of other sources.

      You probably already know this, but you need to keep a lookout for where the articles are actually sourced from. Just because multiple sources are reporting on something could simply mean they are affiliated outlets publishing the same story from the same original author.

      This saves time for affiliate outlets, but it’s a practice that is vulnerable to the rapid spread of misreporting or intentional misinformation.

    The real problem is people that should be our leaders don’t want anything to do with all the bullshit involved with politics. So we end up with weirdos and crazies instead.

      Ugh, another school shooting. Guess Dad’s going to have another one of his jerk binges.
