To ask why we can't have a sex board?

We have one for everything else under the sun after all.!

But every time anyone says anything to do with sex in Chat or AIBU it gets a suspicious response. Couldn't we just have one that's not accessible unless you're a logged in user?

Pegs, penis beakers, armpit shagging, homemade vibrators...is there anything left to discuss ?

shrunkenhead · 28/04/2015 21:12

Can't you posy on Relationships?

Mistlewoeandwhine · 28/04/2015 21:12

I would love a pervy sex board - it'd be the first one I'd go one every time, trolls or not (in fact the trolls would be the best part I reckon).

shrunkenhead · 28/04/2015 21:12

Post even.

It's not exactly hard to join MN. You have to be a member to post anyway.

So if you join to get your jollies by posting a thread about pegging for example, you could just post it in Pervs corner rather than in chat.

Sparklingbrook · 28/04/2015 21:15

Exactly Christina.

paintedfences · 28/04/2015 21:16

I think it'd be loads of fun!

OP posts:
Sparklingbrook · 28/04/2015 21:17

How would it be fun? Confused

tallwivglasses · 28/04/2015 21:18

Pegs? I missed that. wtf? Confused

Grantaire · 28/04/2015 21:18

paintedfences, have you read the linked thread? I argued all this five years ago. I pointed out all the things you're saying. You could hide the topic, it would make MN an easier place to navigate, we're grown women, often mothers or mothers to be or people trying to be mothers and sex is nothing to be ashamed of or worried about but some people don't want to see it, relationships is home to a lot of very serious discussions and threads about anal sex are incongruous there and on and on and on. I argued it all, I did.

Mumsnet will not do it.

PinkSquash · 28/04/2015 21:19

I suppose if everything went into pervy troll board, its then easily blocked.

paintedfences · 28/04/2015 21:20

Do you think it's odd people wanting to talk about sex usual? I don't find it so - sex and sexuality is a big part of life, why wouldn't people want to discuss it with others? It seems normal to me.

Sparklingbrook · 28/04/2015 21:20

YY Pink and threads could be moved to PTB. Brill.

paintedfences · 28/04/2015 21:21

In the same way that posting on the rest of MN is fun, Sparklingbrook! Bloody hell.

OP posts:
Sparklingbrook · 28/04/2015 21:23

Bloody hell nothing. Why would you want to discuss your sex life with a load of internet strangers?

usualsuspect333 · 28/04/2015 21:24

I don't think talking about your sex life with a bunch of randoms on an open internet forum is a good idea, no.

Mintyy · 28/04/2015 21:24

You were just awesome Grantaire Smile.

But hq are conveniently deaf when they want to be. Note how long the thread about wanting to "peg" someone has been on Active Convos today.

And as you know they will not do anything about the AIBU debacle.

Christinayangstwistedsister · 28/04/2015 21:24

I think there is a huge difference of people's definition of normal on here

Sparklingbrook · 28/04/2015 21:25

MNHQ won't see this thread, it should be in Site Stuff.

morethanpotatoprints · 28/04/2015 21:27

Wouldn't there be a huge techie problem with people name changing.
If you were asking advice you'd nc surely.

There should be one though, like anything else on here you don't have to read it if you don't want to.

'Do you think it's odd people wanting to talk about sex usual? I don't find it so - sex and sexuality is a big part of life, why wouldn't people want to discuss it with others? It seems normal to me.'

Don't you have any mates? There are also already tens of thousands of places where you can go and talk about your sex life. FFS.

morethanpotatoprints · 28/04/2015 21:29

WTF is pegging.
I daren't google

crapfatbanana · 28/04/2015 21:31

My sex board is kept under the stairs.

YetAnotherHelenMumsnet · 28/04/2015 21:31

Well heeelloooo,
Thanks to Sparkling for bringing this to our attention, we will have a conflab about it and get back to you, if that's okay? Pfffffft at ironing board btw.

Grantaire · 28/04/2015 21:31

Too true Mintyy.
