Quote from: anonymous [Expand]Women aren't the only ones who feel thrown by parenting. Here's what new father Myles, 26, told me.

'Let me preface this by saying I love my son more than anything in the world and can't imagine a world without him in it. But, dear God, please can I have my wife back? I don't feel like I have a rival for my affection, I feel replaced.

'I understand that things have radically changed. At the start when I felt like sex, it felt wrong to even suggest it. My wife was now the mother of my child. A different person. When I did tentatively suggest that it had been three months from the birth and maybe time to start again, she glared at me. I knew she was thinking, "You insensitive bastard! Can't you see how exhausted, stressed and unhinged I am already?".

'Thing is, I did understand and what I really wanted was her attention. I feel like I've lost my best friend and lover. I'm not even sure she likes me anymore.

'It's been 18-months since we last had intercourse. I've tried talking about our lack of sex with her but she shuts me down. She says she doesn't feel attractive anymore, but I can't see that her body has changed that much. I wonder if she ever really enjoyed having sex and this is just a good excuse to avoid it.

'I can't see any other option but to wait and see if this is something she'll just pass through. I won't cheat but I miss sex and I miss having her to myself. I feel resentful having to satisfy myself purely through porn.

'I've spoken to other new dads and this is a common scenario. We all feel guilty for feeling like our needs aren't being considered but that's how we feel'.

there seems to be more than ever out there, but yes it is not as easy to find. There are sites such as sharesome which seemingly took the place of tumblr - loaded with good stuff but full of ads of course and today nothing is "free".... thisvid, kosmi, dal.net rooms, etc. are all out there but take some effort. anything "niche" or not "mainstream" seems to require a bit of a network of contacts with the same interests, or a willingness to go to tor. I have neither a network of contacts or a desire to mess with tor, so it's a struggle. Always connect with a vpn if you go to any sites you don't want to be traced to, and don't give up any info.

too intrusive, and big-brother-ish with skype. too many stories of accounts being suspended and investigations happening because of things typed or things shared which the thought-police-bots on skype flagged as TOS violations. certainly don't need that. I used it for quite some time and saw some sharing groups get mysteriously shut down by the system and accounts suspended. After researching, landed on session as a messaging app. It's limited in capabilities, but sharing things seems to go well, and it's as secure as anything seems possible to be... but yeah, open to other alternatives- I just don't get the opportunity much at all.

Pornographic websites must check that users in Louisiana are over 18 years old or risk being sued, a new law in the US state says.

Republican state legislator Laurie Schlegel, who introduced the bill, says she was inspired by musician Billie Eilish, who has spoken of the effect viewing porn as a child had on her.

But US adult industry campaigners argue the law is the wrong solution.

Age checks are also a key part of the UK's Online Safety Bill.

Under the Louisiana legislation, most users are expected to use a smartphone app, called LA Wallet, to show they are over 18.

The app requires a driving licence or an official state identity card to establish a person's age.

Users of one of the largest pornographic websites, Pornhub, are now directed to an age verification process, according to a video posted on Twitter.

Porn viewers in EU may have to prove their age

The sites are affected have many millions of users

Three of the world's biggest pornography sites have been told their users in the European Union may have to use age verification technology.

Pornhub, Xvideos and Stripchat face stricter regulations because they have been assessed as having at least 45 million monthly users in EU countries.

EU rules mean firms of that size have to take extra steps to protect children.

It says that could mean the sites introducing age checking tech.

"An example of efficient measures in this respect could be age verification tools, to prevent minors from accessing pornographic content," a spokesperson for the European Commission told the BBC.

The spokesperson said one "potential" solution for a person proving their age would be the upcoming European Digital Identity wallet.

"Once it enters into force, it will offer solutions for all EU citizens, residents, and businesses in the EU," they said.

"Citizens will be able to prove their identity and share electronic documents from their European Digital Identity wallets with the click of a button on their phone."

This year I was invited over to a friend's house for brunch.

Since 2020 I stayed home and listened to favorite music all day, always from my vinyl collection.

Off topic, but I have a Bang & Olufsen Beogram 1602 that I've owned for around 30 years, a great turntable. The sound is spot on, the suspension of the platter is one of the best. The table is very quiet, and for me, allows me to hear the sounds of the record and nothing else. Mine has no rumble, and no feedback issues.

Experts have been issuing scam alerts over fake QR codes in car parks for some time now.

The scam involves people putting up fake QR codes that redirect people to a fake website set up by the scammers who then extract information including bank details from the victim.

But now a similar trick is being employed to target people charging their EVs''
