I’m really tired of that sex toy advert ^^^

I suffered sex abuse and I don’t like how it’s put up there for me to accidentally click on it when I look at the lists of posts. Please get rid of it. I don’t want sex invading my safe chat spaces especially where I am thinking about my parenting decisions. If I want sex toys, I will look for them.

Agree with you OP. I find it very intrusive.
I know its just a one liner ad, but as I speed read the thread titles there it is over and over every time. Boring, and totally not in the right frame of mind for such products.

I feel the same. It is triggering for me. I wish it was possible to hide promoted posts.

SweetSakura · 10/02/2023 19:18

Agreed.not just the advert but the "promoted threads" that of course you can't hide unlike normal threads

BIWI · 10/02/2023 19:20

If you install adblocker you won't see the promoted threads

MolkosTeenageAngst · 10/02/2023 19:21

Also, I access on my iPad or iPhone not on a PC/ laptop. Is there a way to use an adblocker on either of these devices?

Zephirine · 10/02/2023 19:23

I agree with all of the above.

Active is overrun by ‘promoted by’ spam now. Enough already

I clicked on a thread about rimming by mistake last week: it seemed fairly evenly divided between posters saying mmm my lady loves it can't get enough of it can you describe what you'd like as a woman, and other posters saying, Not with my piles, thanks, mate.

Wasn't there a time when the Sex topic couldn't be listed in Active?

I noticed the other day that you only have to be a member for 7 days before being able to post on the sex topic. I'm sure it used to be a month.

But yes, I keep clicking on stuff I don't mean to because the bloody site jumps around so much. It's annoying and I'm sick of having to scroll past so much shite.

Heavensalongwayaway · 10/02/2023 19:32

I agree. All the promoted threads need to go

CrescentMoons · 10/02/2023 19:35

It’s dire and I’m also not a vulva owner

Hawkins003 · 10/02/2023 19:37

I understand your perspectives all, but it's part of advertising that keeps the site free

isthismylifenow · 10/02/2023 19:43

Isn't it quite something that suddenly now the sex topic is showing in active , only since these ads have started.

Iirc you had to be a member for a certain time to even access the sex threads. That must have changed too then I expect.

This is surely opening up the site to more trolling, rather than selling lots of vibrators.
