Actually to me, all the hustle and bustle in the streets was like an awakening. It is energizing for me to be among the happy, joyous people taking in the sights and sounds of the holiday season in Manhattan. I’ve already made plans to spend more time in Manhattan over the next several weeks.

Once again, I am delighted for you, Mike.

Thanks for those contributions Br.

This one was downright scary to me as to how much babies can understand of human speech even before they can talk themselves. It gives you/us something to think about when we use subtle putdowns on people, or "tease" them about things. This very young baby instinctively comprehends and knows that he's being critiqued in an unflattering way. Maybe we really are causing grown adults emotional harm if or when we do this, even if that is not our intention at all.

As a parent I can tell you babies age parents decades!

While my mind is deep into gay porn, there is a part open to other non gay-related topics!

That's really cool! I've been hoping for a while that indoor farming could catch on. While it may not have the traditional benefit of soil, it does offer a much more efficient use of fresh water. Pouring millions of gallons on crops outside that need only for water to reach the roots has been such a waste throughout time. All the water wasted that lands away from the plants... All the fresh water lost to evaporation... All the water that lands on weed seeds that stifle the space of the desired palnts...

You just have to think that there's gotta be a better way. Hydroponic food that doesn't need a bunch of insecticides could be very, very helpful.

I have become very into watching lots and lots of YouTube videos on my big screen TV, in fact with all of my premium services I find myself watching mostly YouTube when not watching news or sports.

The google algorithms send me videos on subjects of intent to me including young straight guys, often shirtless who talks bout self improvement and I’ve discovered in the last few days that among these guys is a serious movement called, “No Fap” or sperm retention. They talk about six months or a year or longer of not masturbating and retaining their sperm to make themselves mentally and physically stronger.

NoFap benefits: Definition and what research says

What is NoFap and what are the benefits? Read on to find more about NoFap and the potential risks and benefits of avoiding masturbation.

www.medicalnewstoday.com

What to know about the possible benefits of NoFap​

• Benefits
• Risks
• Vs. semen retention
• When to see a doctor
• Summary

NoFap is an anti-masturbation movement. Supporters say avoiding masturbation for prolonged periods improves their lives and sexuality. Some people may join for religious or ethical reasons, or because they worry about the effects of masturbation on their lives.

The NoFap movement endorses a specific understanding of masturbation and human sexuality. It argues that pornography is harmful. NoFap suggests that avoiding masturbation can help people regain control over their lives and avoid compulsive or addictive sexual behavior.

This article explores the potential risks and benefits of avoiding masturbation, and how NoFap differs from the practice of semen retention.

Purported benefits of avoiding masturbation


NoFap.com argues that people can avoid compulsive sexual behavior and break porn or sex addiction by avoiding masturbation.

Supporters of avoiding masturbation claim it:

• refocuses their attention on their relationship
• helps them conform to their religious or moral values
• decreases their use of pornography
• improves their focus and concentration
• gives them time for other pursuits

Some say it has more extreme benefits, such as depression relief or overall health improvements.

People who feel guilty about masturbation or spend significant time masturbating may find avoiding it offers time for other activities, which may improve health.

However, no scientific evidence suggests masturbation is harmful. Additionally, no studies state that avoiding masturbation offers any specific benefit.

That sounds like an interesting movement. I can see where that might appeal to people.

You are more understanding about it than me Tampa. It’s like the old Art Linletter stuff from my youth. But Art was talking about little kids. These are young men. Lolololol
