Name: Raw dog marathon.
Year: In a therapeutic sense, it’s quite recent.
Exterior: To be fair, it doesn’t really appear that way.
What is it? Initially, raw dogging referred to engaging in sex without a condom.
Is that why there are marathons? However, over time, it has evolved to mean undertaking activities without preparation, protection, or distractions.
What else fits this description? Pretty much everything: Taking an exam unprepared can jeopardize your success. Facing a long flight without entertainment could be challenging. Are you venturing out alone? Or remaining sober? That’s raw dogging.
So, should you run a marathon without any training, a raw marathon? Sometimes, people may interpret it that way, but such behavior is discouraged and not the focus of our discussion.
So, does a raw dog marathon imply doing something for an extended duration? No, it means doing nothing for a prolonged period.
I’m a bit lost. Specifically, it refers to remaining still for long spans while staring into space. Most importantly, avoid using your cell phone.
Can I listen to music? No.
Can I read a magazine? No.
Can I shower or stay in bed? No.
Why not? Because we’re engaging in raw sex!
How long should I do it? That’s up to you. Recently, a “Productivity Influencer” named Rowan filmed himself live with a dog while studying for an hour daily to enhance his focus.
What happened to the footage? He shared it on TikTok.
How can others view what he’s doing on his phone? No need to worry. To prevent boredom, he condensed the hour into a 30-second timelapse.
The irony of that isn’t lost on me. What were the outcomes? He discovered it helped improve concentration and productivity, inspiring many of his followers.
It seems like the TikTok generation has somehow reinvented meditation. This may come off as a bit arrogant, but today’s youth face overwhelming distractions. While older generations learned to endure boredom, this generation must learn to cultivate it.
But who enjoys being bored? Many neuroscientists believe that boredom is beneficial and a vital stimulus for creative thinking.
Remember: “Time spent away from your phone is never wasted.”
Please avoid saying: “Hey, I just completed a raw dog marathon. No headphones, no water, no shoes. I got discharged from the hospital on Tuesday.”
