The Rise of “Rawdogging Marathons“: Why Doing Absolutely Nothing Might be the Key to Focus
By Lucas Fernandez, World-Today-News.com – November 8, 2023
A new trend is gaining traction online, and its name is…unconventional, to say the least. Dubbed “rawdogging marathons,” it has nothing to do with its original, rather explicit slang definition. Rather, this practice is a surprisingly intentional attempt to combat the relentless distractions of modern life and reclaim our attention spans.
The term, which initially meant engaging in unprotected sex, has evolved. Now, “rawdogging” refers to tackling anything without readiness, protection, or distraction. Think taking a test without studying, or enduring a long flight without entertainment. But a “rawdogging marathon” isn’t about pushing physical limits; it’s about embracing…nothing.
Specifically, it means sitting still, staring into space, and – crucially – without your phone.No music, no books, no comfortable distractions
