No sex board on active. Please comment if you agree.

I really wish the sex board wasn’t on active. It changes the whole tone of the Mumsnet board when you click on Active. And not in a good way.
If you agree please reply to this post.

100% agree

StillWeRise · 23/02/2023 16:53

I agree
OK a regular user can choose to hide the topic but what about casual or occasional users?
I sometimes suggest to service users that the check out Mumsnet, I don't want to risk them seeing a reference to rimming on their first visit when they wanted advice on choosing a buggy

If I had a question about sex after having children the sex board is the last place I'd go to ask. Grubby.

I agree but sex on the board has me envisioning a version of snakes and ladders with willies and boobs - where will one land on a throw of the dice?

Don't give them ideas 😬

LookItsMeAgain · 23/02/2023 16:39

Agree that Active shouldn't include the Sex topic or posts made under the Sex topic

Agree....and yes HQ I know "you can hide the topic, you know", but it's not that simple, it feels like a general push to sexualise the site and make it more of a place that looks like it's being run by men who think "this is what we want women to be interested in", eg promoting vibrators to women who have just given birth.

Do you think women don’t post on the sex topic or something? It’s not all men, men, men over there

I Agree, but I'd also like all sex related adverts to be off the main page too. Lost track of the amount of times I saw that new toy advert, and now there's another one about your sex life after children. Keep those adverts to the sex board and keep the sex board tucked away where it belongs.

Agree with this too

I don’t want to see it. If I did, I’d choose to click on the section. MN said they didn’t want to hide topics from Active, but weirdly this doesn’t extend to the SEN topic, or abortion topic, or miscarriage, bereavement or OTBT.

Also weirdly, they did exclude it from active for many years. And that was after refusing even having a sex topic at all for years because they said it would attract trolls/the wrong sort.

Make it make sense.

And make it go away.

SweetSakura · 23/02/2023 16:36

Agree.
