  1. Links to news stories from...

He's taking about his kid monitoring him as well.

Lets be real here, the "Kid" is 17.

Now I dont know what a healthy father/son relationship looks like because I never had one but it seems to me that knowing "Dad likes blondes with big tits" might be slightly less scarring than being left entirely to your own devices with no oversight and going down a rabbit hole of xvideos fetish porn.

Theres 2 kinds of men in the world. Those that have beaten their dick, and fucking liars. Maybe this shit is weird and creepy, and maybe they have had honest and open discussions about sex and he is trying to give his son healthy attitudes towards it.

If the knowledge was only dad's preferences in women, sure, mostly harmless. The damaging part of this would be the villianification sexual desire. You're telling someone that a normal part of having a body is wrong and you should feel shame for it. You're also thrusting the responsibility for the parent's impulses onto a minor.

I'm also not naive enough to believe that they had any serious, healthy discussions about sexual urges beforehand. This is the right, its just indoctrinating them onto the shame and guilt spiral as soon as possible.

This guy's only experience with healthy attitudes toward sex is when he's attempting to ban healthy attitudes toward sex.
