To think people should be aware of the paedophiles who troll on here

Stating the obvious:

This site is very popular. Anyone could could be reading and posting on here.

Threads which seem to encourage people to talk about sexual behaviour in preteens, probably aren't from a concerned parent and for many, many reasons, it's not wise to go into great details about your own exploits and make out that sexual activity in under 16's is no big deal.

Not a TAAT, as there's been loads of threads like this, but they seem to be increasing in number and frequency.

I never get why mums (or dads, or others), would want to post such details (often as a first post!!) anyway. (especially when they have no posting history 🤔).

^^

I agree and even without the context of this thread there is a line isnt there, would any of us like our parents talking about our exploits - whether its anonymous or not.

I think its going too far.

Namechangeemergency · 25/11/2016 21:13

I am with you 100%
MN is a source of sexual material for those fuckers and I am pretty sure they get an additional thrill from the way parents are so willing to share about their children.

I would think that would tap into their self justification for their own abhorrent views i.e. look at all those mums joining in. They love it. They want it.

Intelligent, educated women too blinded by their own self confidence to see what they are doing.

Its bad enough when they are sharing about themselves,but I can accept that is a personal thing. Who am I to tell women to keep it to themselves even if I strongly suspect the 'female OP' of a thread 'lightheartedly' asking about their sex lives is a bloke wanking all over his Ipad.
But to share intimate details of their children's toileting (out of the context of potty training or SN) , masturbation, wet dreams, relationships etc
ffs.

Namechangeemergency · 25/11/2016 21:14

aplace it would not surprise me at all if MN was on a list of places to go to get a quick and easy thrill.
There is always someone ready to spill.

Wookiecookies · 25/11/2016 21:16

That thread was utterly weird.... saw it and walked away. For those that didn't see it, you may just have to trust those that did.

There was something just not right with that one.

JellyBelli · 25/11/2016 21:17

I'd just like to say that IMHO, and as usual, MNHQ has got the balance right. Star

frumpet · 25/11/2016 21:45

The most worrying thing for me about your original post OP is the ' sexual activity in under 16's is no big deal ' . Under 16's regularly have sex or undertake in sexual activity , you may not like the idea of it , but it is true .

This doesn't make them bad or damaged or preyed upon by sexual deviants , it makes them normal on the spectrum of sexual experience and when it first occurs . If there is a person who is much older encouraging such behaviour and it isn't as a result of perfectly normal teenage relationships , then yes of course I would be concerned . Most teenage sexual encounters that I remember at that age were with people of the same or similar age and consensual .

older children in nappies.

What is the world coming too? SadAngry

TheLobsterRollPlease · 25/11/2016 21:51

OP I am with you on this one and I don't think YABU, there has been some very disgusting threads sexual threads on here and they keep coming, I actually read one today and I was really shocked that he hadn't been deleted by MNHQ.

IPityThePontipines · 25/11/2016 21:53

I would think that would tap into their self justification for their own abhorrent views

Exactly. As an example, there seems to be a great disconnect between some people on here gleefully sharing details of their very young teenage lives and what they are happy for their teenagers to get up to and how that might read to an unsavory lurker.

Also, could people stop trying to overshare about their children on this thread too.

Manumission · 25/11/2016 21:56

Oh god, another one of those?

We get all the choice trolling AngrySad

AnyFucker · 25/11/2016 21:56

I agree, op

I think that what does attract pervs here is the often candid but "normal" talk about sex

They love infiltrating the mummy sex talk. There is, I am sure, special name for it

IPityThePontipines · 25/11/2016 21:58

Frumpet proving my point there.

Tell me, how much under 16 do we have to go for things to be hunky dory?

And how many under 16 year olds have to be engaged in something for it to be ok?

And how much older is too much older?

And how on earth, considering all that we increasingly know about consent issues and intimate partner violence in teenage relationships, can you declare that most teenage relationships are mutually consensual?

OP posts:
Sallystyle · 25/11/2016 22:01

It didn't occur to me that the OP of those kind of threads could be paedophiles.

Of course I thought it might be a troll trying to wind us up, or just someone who wanted advice and had boundary issues.

Wookiecookies · 25/11/2016 22:05

frumpet did you see the thread in question?

danTDM · 25/11/2016 22:10

frumpet stop talking about teenagers and sex. FGS, did you read the thread? IT was awful.
We're not all in denial just stop giving details FGS it is so upsetting.

danTDM · 25/11/2016 22:11

She was 12, not even a teenager.

SpiritedLondon · 25/11/2016 22:13

I would have thought that paedophiles are kept pretty busy with the entire content of the dark web ( trillions of images) and online stalking of children on social networking sites, plus conversations with other paedophiles on specialist paraphilia sites to be bothered by parents talking about their children's behaviour here. Perhaps a paedo will be along in a moment to contradict me

nichito · 25/11/2016 22:14

danTDM You can't tell people to be quiet and stop speaking when what was said was entirely reasonable in nature. Or rather, you can, but you're being utterly unreasonable. Regardless of the validity or lack thereof in their post, the user you're referring to didn't go into "detail" at all.

Wookiecookies · 25/11/2016 22:17

Who the hell (normal mother), would go on a very public internet forum and ask a question like that about their 12 yr old? Then to suggest it as a christmas present? Come on ffs... If you didnt see through it then there is something very odd about your view on the world. Im sorry, but it was shady AF.

Namechangeemergency · 25/11/2016 22:17

spirited really? You think there is only one type of peadophile and they all have access to the dark net and they all want to risk their liberty by downloading images and paying for them?

Or that the ones who do all that stuff don't also fancy a quick fiddle to a thread where uber cool mommies are discussing how they support their children's masturbation?

Manumission · 25/11/2016 22:18

Spirit I'm quite sure all manner of trolls get their thrill from the "interacting with real people" aspect. Real people who unwittingly share intimate details of their lives be it sex, relationships, medical, SN or even money.

People with an unhealthy interest in minors are obviously the extreme examples but I don't doubt they do pop up here.

Wookiecookies · 25/11/2016 22:24

The ffing holier than thou, enlightened twits here are doing my head in, if you saw the thread and think that it was normal, you have more than 1 screw loose! AngryHmm

danTDM · 25/11/2016 22:26

nichto there was a poster that bought her son 'a hole' and saw fit to share as she was 'so open and free' and I can tell her to shut TFU? Not to mention the oh so free OP with her 12 yo, vibrators and repeatedly saying children masturbate. FGS.

Lovely sharing for one and all.

danTDM · 25/11/2016 22:29

exactly wookiecookie sums it up.
