You're listening to, atheistically speaking. Oh, Hello and welcome to atheististically Speaking this is episode 170 and I'm your

host Thomas Smith and today we are going to get back to our parent panel for

part two even more goodness and

uh... t-m-I and interesting questions about parenting. Really cool stuff so let's get

right back into that. I was caught, see I was in a weird kind of position with my parents because I had very

strict parents who were who wanted to control.

I wouldn't say they want...

It's hard to put the exact word.

There were certain things that they wanted full control over, but they weren't like very micromanaging in every aspect of my life or

anything because I think that would have been very bad. But they did not want me to be doing

anything like drinking drugs or even just driving with friends because they had heard and seen actually my mom is a teacher and she had seen excuse me she seen, I think two of her students died in a car accident and I think from that that made her very sensitive to like any sort of, you know, high school typical, stereotypical like, oh, high school stereotypical stereotypical like oh high school party fun kind of stuff so my

parents were very controlling about that but my parents are also a little bit

older than your average parents so by the time I was in the critical age of when right about when I was,

you know, the age that would have wanted to get into porn,

that was right about when internet porn was happening.

So and them being older, like they didn't really have a good grasp on that.

And I don't, I didn't, there wasn't the kind of access I mean the just the

unbelievable porn access that there is is just worse every single day I mean or

maybe some people are really single day I mean, or maybe worse isn't the right word.

Maybe some people are really happy about it, but it's certainly more prevalent every day.

Back then, it was certainly not that.

But I don't know how much that factored into how I feel about it.
