Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, Utah and Virginia have all outlawed Pornhub…but it is still the 10th most visited site visited in the US and Canada. When it happens, there is a surge in demand for virtual private network (VPN) services. Texas alone had a 234% increase the day after a new state law took effect. Porn has been around for thousands of years and before a mass produced bible, there were massed produced naughty pictures. Some 66% of men watch vs 39% women, leading it to be another male centric industry. But, to much watching porn can lead to three relationship issues.

Porn has morphed significantly in the last 20 years. From print and “in person” video places and strip joints to online. And since 2019, OnlyFans, where anyone can not only upload homemade videos, they can monetize it. The era of “authenticity” is here including all body shape and interests. While there has been significant research on the effects porn, a study reported from Psychology Today argues when porn is pervasive or becomes key in a person’s life, it could produce major problems.
According to a study, the more someone view porn, the more they need to be satisfied. Surveying over 1,500 young adults, it concluded despite the outside factors and gender, even infrequent use of porn leads to some sexual dissatisfaction. Consuming large quantities can create false expectations for everyone involved, making them think actual, in person sex, works just as it does in porn. To help with this, limit the amount of viewing.

Loneliness makes people turn to porn, and porn makes people more lonely, creating a two way relationship in which, no matter the order, each factor influences the other. A research that surveyed over 1,247 participants found porn use was significantly related to loneliness. Single men watched more porn than any other group, and loneliness could lead to porn addiction. These people who feel lonely turn to porn, which offers momentary relief but that later reinforces their feelings of being alone.
Another study conducted over 2,000 married individuals showed results suggest porn is capable of causing relationship breakups. People who started watching porn after entering a relationship had an 11% chance of a breakup compared to the 6% chance of non viewers of porn. These rates were much higher for younger people, where half of the 20 year olds ended up splitting.

Of course, all of this information is correlational. You can’t say with certainty watching porn means you’ll face all of these problems, but studies prove there’s some form of relationship between porn and stress, even if they can’t pinpoint the cause. It is always key to approach this with clear understanding between reality and fantasy.
The open waters are full of potential dangers including sharks, jellyfish, people on jet skis and more….but there is a new one recently which is surprising everyone. Why do whales keep swallowing people. The chance of a whale swallowing you is smaller than winning the Powerball, but it is happening…and science isn’t quite sure why.

There have been a few extraordinary incidents where people have been swallowed by whales, sparking both fascination and concern. These events, though extremely rare, have garnered significant attention due to their unusual nature. Such incidents are rare because whales generally do not target humans as prey. Humpback whales, for example, feed on small fish and plankton using baleen, making it physically impossible for them to swallow a human whole.
In the last couple of days, a humpback whale briefly swallowed a 24-year-old kayaker last Saturday during a father-son excursion out on the icy waters around Chile’s southernmost Patagonia region. After being spat out of the whale, the son swam towards his dad’s pack raft and holds onto it as they pull away.
Another documented case is Michael Packard, a lobster diver from Massachusetts. In June 2021, Packard was briefly swallowed by a humpback whale while diving off the coast of Provincetown. He managed to survive with minor injuries, including soft tissue damage and a dislocated knee. Experts believe that poor visibility and the whale’s feeding behavior likely contributed to this accidental encounter.
Two girls were swallowed by a humpback whale while kayaking in California. The whale spat them out after a few seconds, highlighting the accidental nature of such incidents.
In addition, Since 2020, orcas off the Iberian Peninsula have been attacking sailboats, with at least three vessels sunk and hundreds damaged. These coordinated attacks typically involve orcas targeting the rudder, often approaching from the stern. Scientists believe that a traumatic event, possibly involving a female orca named White Gladis, may have triggered this behavior, which is then imitated by other orcas. Theories suggest the attacks could be for hunting practice or revenge. Despite the incidents, no human fatalities have been reported, but sailors are increasingly concerned about safety in these waters.
Whales, particularly humpbacks, feed by lunging through the water with their mouths wide open to engulf schools of fish. If something lies directly in their path, they might not always detect or avoid it in time. This feeding behavior, combined with factors like poor visibility, can lead to accidental encounters with humans. So it is always good to be clear of you environment and what type of wildlife frequent the area.
