  • he isn’t able to pull his foreskin over his head yet, is that common?

    It is, since most boys won’t have a reason to pull it, so the skin never stretches. This should be looked at as an exercise, so he will probably manage to fully pull back after some months (6+, can take longer). If that doesn’t happen by the time he’s 14, or if he frequently feels pain when doing so, he might have phimosis and it would be best to have medical advice on how to proceed.

    And how should he clean it if he isn’t able to pull his foreskin all the way back?

    Until he can pull back and expose the entire glans, he probably doesn’t have to worry about it too much, I certainly didn’t until I was 13 or so (mankind has managed with much worse hygiene for thousands of years, but that’s beside the point). One thing he can try is pulling up the skin (stretching over the glans) and get some water in from the hole. The problem here will be drying it afterwards, maybe a piece of cloth and a finger can get in to dry it enough


  • Again, there are better ways to state the point you wanted to get across. Hate and empathy do enter into it, especially hate, because it’s always one of the shortcuts for gaming and changing existing human systems. Blame the different, claim to be pure and superior, get a following, storm the enemy. This isn’t new or exclusive to any culture, it’s been around since before the first cities were founded.

    Also, the humans involved in attaining power are not necessarily smart, they can be delusional but charismatic leaders, which immediately makes “the human is better than the system” wrong. Pol Pot is perhaps one of the best examples: he wasn’t smart by any measure, but was charismatic enough to have a loyal following and had enough enemies, real and made up, to blame for every woe the people suffered. Solano Lopez, Paraguayan dictator in the 1860s, is another great example of delusional leader - his generals and captains knew that contradicting his military orders, even when they were suicidal and tactically unfeasible, meant being executed as a traitor. Delivering factually correct news that the Paraguayan army was defeated at any skirmish or battle also meant, at the very least, prison time.




  • If you don’t feel comfortable enough, leaving a handwritten note explaining some of the things might suffice. As a man, I can say that the worst part of being a teenage boy is that once you discover masturbation, you’ll be doing it a lot. Suddenly you’re thinking about sex so much, and getting frustrated that you’re not having any sex, etc. It really sucks. Other than that, boys’ body changes don’t feel special or different or anything. Extra hair grows here and there, voice might finally sound masculine, and that’s about it.

    Some things he should know, from someone who experienced it first hand:

    • Shaving pubes is not necessary. No need to bother with it until you start getting frisky with another person - and they might not even care whether there’s a bush there or not.
    • Try to pull the skin down as much as comfortably possible when masturbating. This is important for having sex in the future
    • Clean up the head with water and soap, then dry it before putting it back inside the clothes. It’s also a good thing to use toilet paper to dry up after taking a piss.
    • Water + semen = glue. You need lots of soap if you don’t dry clean it first.
    • Keep some toilet paper, towelettes or an old piece of cloth nearby for the cleanup. Wash the cloth at least once a week.
    • Install uBlock Origin. He’ll be browsing porn sites whether you like it or not, better have some protection against the nastier ads, which tends to be really invasive.
    • Masturbation feels good, but don’t overdo it, unless he wants to have erection problems when he finally has sex.
    • Adding to the above, it needs to be driven into his skull to NOT expect anything he sees in porn to be realistic. Positions, dirty talk, all of that is for entertainment, not a how-to.
    • Keep an eye on your credit card, OP, or you might suddenly see a surprise charge for something very unexpected


  • It is pretty much a fact that many people aren’t keen on talking. I mean, you’ll be hard pressed to find any 13yo boy who never masturbated. Girls probably don’t masturbate as much, since they’re much more likely to suffer psychological terror from religious parents, but they also get horny and ovulation will make them extra horny. Hormones don’t give a shit.











  • Many games don’t age well in part because of hardware constraints (CPU, RAM and storage), in part because there weren’t that many games to serve as examples of good and bad practices to follow or avoid. Then there are games like the Silver Box collection of Dungeons and Dragons, which were bad even when they were new.

    It’s still interesting to note that you can find many “(almost) never copied since” ideas in some old games, which still make them useful for inspiration for game devs and even entertainment for anyone who sits down to play. Hell, Ultima 7, despite being janky as fuck, is still a gold standard in world interactivity. While there are a variety of pokemon clones (TemTem, Cassette Beasts, Coromon), I’m unaware of any game that’s similar to Digimon World (evolving tamagotchi battlers that die out/reset after some time)

    Then there are the timeless classics, like Age of Empires 2 or Final Fantasy Tactics, which are yet to be surpassed; or Mega Man X and Super Mario World, which, despite being comparatively simple to stuff that came after it, still hold up incredibly well.
