So if you’ve never had sex and you spend years watching men with huge penises making women scream and apparently have multiple orgasms and then you finally have sex yourself and the reality is far different to what you’ve been watching…
I have no doubt this affects young men. Erectile dysfunction in younger men isn’t based on something physical, it’s mental. And what mentally is likely to be affecting them? Insecurity is the most obvious cause. These guys are worrying they are “too small” or not making their girlfriend scream or orgasm enough like they’ve seen in porn.
Sure I don’t have data to prove this, but from actually speaking to people and reading so many posts from young man saying what I literally mentioned above, I’m strongly inclined to the above theory.
I agree it CAN be physical, but it's far more likely to be physical if the men affected were 60 plus, who are far more likely to have physical issues than young men.
While 18 year old men can have physical issues which could cause ED, IN GENERAL, 18 year old men are in the prime of their life and also are usually extremely horny. I remember one kid I knew in school telling me he would jerk off 3 to 5 times per day! Not many 60 year olds are doing that...
The point is this, generally at 18-25 roughly your body is working better than it ever will, so I would be inclined to believe that if young men cannot get hard, on balance and probability, it's more likely to be mental than physical.
If it was physical, then why don't we see the same trend in older men?
yea, totally agree, recently pair-programming with a coworker and for a bit i thought he was using fleet or the new IntelliJ ui when instead it was just vs-code...
my guess is jetbrains sees the trend and wants to keep up, but if all the editors look the same as vs-code how do you differentiate?
doesn't it seem a bit strange that apple would allow emulation of game consoles which (for the most part) are used with pirated games but a pc emulator that is more easily can use legitimate copies is blocked for 'reasons'... its almost like apple is encouraging piracy...
btw, i think the top comment on that article nails it:
> This is clearly Apple just blocking anything that could allow the iPad to be used as a real computer
Yeah, I remember about that. It works well for Objective-C.
But since C doesn't have objects or messages, the best equivalent thing I can think of is for the C compiler to emit some type of signal on assignments and variables going out of scope.
I don't claim to know what's the best solution for adding automatic memory management to C, but I'm pretty sure a good one exists. And it would need compiler support for it to work.
