to despair that this sexual crassness is not “news” BBC!!!!!!

[WanderOver]

I was scrolling down BBC online news this morning .... the usual ... coronavirus, stock market.

About the 10th item down was an item entitled “How To Masturbate”.

I didn’t click on it, I wasn’t really wanting to get instruction on that. But I was truly gobsmacked. How is this an online news item? Isn’t it sexually crass? Is it click bait designed to shock and offend? Why is the BBC news website writing this sexual stuff?

I did write a complaint to BBC, and will no doubt hear a justification in due course.

But ..... words fail me.

The BBC news website is for news. It says so on the tin. They should go back to that, and do it properly instead of continuing its trend into an uninformative celebrity and teenage gossip ‘trendy’ magazine.

It exists to sell itself. If people didn't want "trendy magazine" content they wouldn't produce it.

Well if your DH learns to do it properly he can probably provide you with a pearl necklace to clutch😁.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

It was a feature article. The BBC News carries features of various topics. Sex education, which includes masturbation, is important.
