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.

Agree , primarily because it now makes the site unsuitable for random scrolling through in any public place .

Katy75 · 23/02/2023 16:16

Fully agree

TeenDivided · 23/02/2023 16:15

I agree.
Also even though I have hidden that board, it is now still appearing in 'last hour'.
I think if you hide a board threads should be hidden properly.

Who would want to come on here asking for advice about sex? I've not had a look at the sex board to be honest so I have no idea what content is on there😕

OMG, I just had a look and now I'm scarred for life. WTF has mumsnet turned into???? 😧

Stickytreacle · 23/02/2023 16:14

Yes totally agree, puts me off using mumsnet.

SantanaBinLorry · 23/02/2023 16:13

I agree

DaisyDucks · 23/02/2023 16:13

Take the full topic down. It attracts the wrong sort of person.

Cosysocksallyear · 23/02/2023 16:12

Hi all

Just popping in to say we posted an update on this thread regarding the wider discussion around the sex topic.

Please do have a read - we will continue taking your feedback on board in the meantime.

Yes thank you, I think I have read all the updates on various threads now but none of them manage to address the issues raised.

'We just wanted to try it' - but why?

Now you have tried it you can see that everyone hates it (except for a couple of posters who are keen to point out they don't mind either way). So what now? Are you sticking with this incredibly unpopular decision for no particular reason? Confused

TheYearOfSmallThings · 23/02/2023 16:12

Agree.

userxx · 23/02/2023 16:11

Hell yes. I was fully expecting to read about Marti Pellow in the Wet Wet Wet thread. How wrong I was.

ShirleyPhallus · 23/02/2023 16:08

I prefer for it not to be in active but also appreciate MN has its own commercial reasons for doing stuff

I ageee

CatNamedEaster · 23/02/2023 15:56

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.

Lonelycrab · 23/02/2023 15:56
