Why are you allowing people to troll the Sex Board?

Same here.

Just here to support @PinotPony @HornyBee and some of the others who have already made very valid, reasonable points.

Nobody is saying this should be in Active. We all know sex should be consensual - and that includes the things you're forced to see.

But I'm frankly pretty gutted at the vitriol and treatment shown on these boards, and the fact that @MumsnetHQ has allowed it to happen.

So much prejudice, just assuming that it's all men and that everyone there is a perv or paedo. So many assumptions that it's all just w*nk fodder. Yet nobody- except the reverently silent Mumsnet - has any actual data. What about all the genuine women users on there that you're all attacking and shaming, purely as a result of Mumsnet's spectacular balls up?

As plenty of posters have already said, even the ones that have only been very infrequent visitors to the board...for the most part they haven't seen weird, offensive posts. Just genuine people in genuine relationships of whatever description, seeking advice and perspectives. Many of whom are also parents and that angle is a very different spin as it interrelates with other areas of the site e.g. loads of posts about libido since having children.

Please just everyone stop attacking each other and Mumsnet - you owe us all on both sides a shed load of apologies if you expect anyone to stick around after this.

Aye.

I appreciate it

Erm... no. That would be the advertisers. We are the product.

Show what are you using now? I just access the site on my phone but never the app as I can’t stand it.

@ShowOfHands do you have a phone with a browser? Or internet access? Presumably yes as you are on it now.
You can use that

@WhileMyGuitarGentlyWeeps shall I pm you my address so that you can buy a laptop/tablet/computer for me please and thank you?

Oh yes please. I would never recommend MN to anyone now, I wouldn’t want to associate myself with r…..ing and vibration 🙄 ads

too techy for this crowd

May as well rebrand Mumsnet as Sexnet!

Keep it out of Active and that would be fine. (Although I think the sex chat topic is awful and really not something I expected to see on Mumsnet).

its not just pissing off existing users that’s an issue. indeed, they are probably most likely to just hide the bloody topic.

But MN needs to generate new users. And I would suspect that many people who would become MNers are likely to be put off by seeing active convos full of sex threads. People who are likely to find MN through search engines.

What you end up with is an ever greater proportion of users who want sex chat, and because there is more of that, more of those kinds of users find MN.

As a brand decision, it’s weird.

We aren't the customers of Mumsnet.

In fairness, it was grubby from the get-go @gamerchick

I can’t work out how to.

The sex board should be left for people to find independently rather than being made easier (for the majority of the posters on it who are nothing more than suspect sleazy perverts) to find.

Aye. Shown how grubby it's gotten. How many blokes are on there just using that board?

Seems we can see why you're here just going on your username OP.

If it's in active it's going to take a while to get used to since it's being shoved in our faces. Brazen it out.

If the sec topic is being filled with trolls, maybe the posts about sex will pop up on chat/ relationships/ AIBU
It's a wonder there's so many parents the way people can't bear to even see words related to sex
It's easy to hide the topic just use a browser.
Also you can avoid reading threads by not clicking on them. Handy tip for ya

You must’ve found it really funny!!

Oh shit, that LOLing emoji came out much bigger than I anticipated. SORRY!

😬

If it is a visit to A&E may be imminent 😫

@Surplus2requirements is that a euphemism??

That's OK, I just want the fighting to stop so I can get back to my hoovering

@manicthursday thanks

If MN won't sort it then we'll have to do it for ourselves
