A pondering about the Sex topic (and wider)

But they aren't, usual

They are ridiculing the 'eww' responses, not the vanilla sex as such,

I think the posts on this thread ridiculing vanilla sex are just as bad tbh

Except they aren't on a thread where someone is discussing their "vanilla" sex life are they? Which is what is wrong with the sex topic - whenever anyone discusses something less than ordinary, people leap in going "ewwww"

Why not ask mnhq to hide the sex topic from Trending.

Since many most regular posters have hidden the topic, hiding it from Trending would mean they wouldn't see it at all.

And then all the wierdos could troll post to their hearts content with no-one questioning them.

TBH, if this is serious, it sums up what is wrong.

1. we are adults so why hide the fact that people want to talk about sex? Perhaps just grow up.

2. I resent the implication that regulars are uptight prides who can't see the word "sex" without hoiking their bosom and pursing their lips.

3. why are people who have a different sex life trolls and wierdos? Do you think that the aforementioned "missionary every third Thursday" is the only way to go?

I agree wholeheartedly with the OP.

There are threads there that have me going "EWwww!" But I'm grown up and mature enough not to feel the need to go on the thread and behave like an arse who thinks that only "vanilla" sex is appropriate.

Completely agree.

I'm struggling to understand it DameDiazepam, it would be too easy to write it off as stuck up people who are limited in their sex lives, so look down on people who are more adventurous than them, through some sense of envy.

I feel it's more insidious than this somehow. There is definitely a sense of righteous superiority there, mocking and shutting down of discussion, by calling 'troll', or 'abused and degraded'.

It would be helpful to have it explained by the posters who are so against kinks, fetishes, or alternative sexual practices, why they feel the need to frequent the sex board at all, (or those specific threads).

Wherethefuck - yes, that's the thread I remember.

Nope, there don't seem to be trolls and the male contributions are valid and helpful.

A lot of people insist there are perverts , weirdos and trolls though - very odd

Oh, and I've had a good read through the posts on the board now (have never paid all that much attention as yet), and can honestly say that few, if any, scream troll.

Who'd have thought - people discussing sex on a sex board! And horror! Not everyone's tastes are exactly the same!!

Talking about sex doesn't make someone a weirdo.

We are not 10!

The amusing fisting thread I read, started to get funny when a poster questioned getting a 'fiat' up yer chuff. It was about vaginal fisting and the OP was slightly concerned she had sustained an injury, however was eventually given the all clear at the GUM clinic.

In between the typos and the funnies, there were a lot of supportive and informative posts, but in the style that OP talks about, a few posters hopped on board specifically to degrade the OP (and others) for the practice. It's tedious and insulting.

I'm thinking of another thread then.

I thought that fisting thread was ridiculous, funny for about a page then just ridiculed/ de railed the OP 's thread and concerns. It wasn't anal fisting iirc,it was about fisting ( nothing to do with fists and not as alarming as it first sounds)

What are your reasons for visiting the sex topic usual?
genuine question.
It's just I never look at the boards I have no interest in.

Worra - I have to admit it was the anal fishing typo which got me hooked on the thread, given that, as I say, I am very vanilla. And the OP took the joking around with fish puns the carry on team would have been proud of in very good part, and was laughing along with it... but then some posters got nasty, sadly.

Completely agree with the OP. There's a few posters who seem to be on practically every thread raising their eyebrows and pursing their lips and they offer no advice or contribution other than their disapproval whatsoever.

If you don't like it, hide it!

Ahh so somewhere out there, I have an anal fishing buddy

What destiny said.

Anal fishing???

FFS I meant fisting!

Anal fishing would be interesting though, so I wouldn't mind seeing it in Chat

I've seen threads discussed in comments on other threads, but if anyone started a thread in chat or AIBU about anal fishing for example, they'd be told to use the sex topic.
