To think that MNHQ shouldn't let a thread full of men asking for sex chat PMs stand?

I know I can hide the sex topic, but that doesn't make the thread go away.

Nope, I'll stand by that MN is not the place for a thread mostly full of men asking for sex chat PMs.

And yet there's nothing you or anyone else can do about it.

But talk of this 'I'd rather poke pins in my eyes, thanks' offends me and I think Mumsnet should remove this pronto as it is offensive to those who have been pricked and may encourage those seeking one to.... awwww, bugger this judgyness. As you were AIBU. Mumsnet haven't had a problem with it when the post was reinstated. Mute, move on @Getir and stop getting your baggy knickers in a twist.

I can keep bleating on about it.

Perhaps save your 'baggy knicker' talk for your sexy chats with M42 in his sexless marriage.

Why is it acceptable to poke fun at people in sexless marriages? I feel like I’m missing something. There are so many people in emotional distress due to finding themselves in this situation as their relationship progresses

The sexchat thread was started by a woman. And many, many women have enjoyed being on there since.

Which has precisely zero relevance to my point - and not all of the thread chats were started by posters saying they're women.

everywhichway · 12/02/2023 14:34

Oh for heaven's sake - if you don't like the sexchat thread just don't look at it!

And the answer is to offer them a virtual wank while your husband's in the room unaware?

I never said I didn't. All the sanctimonious twaddle is rather entertaining!

Judeisnotobscure · 12/02/2023 14:51

@gamerchick please don’t be facetious, of course not. I’ve read some of these poster’s stories, men and women, and they’re heartbreaking. People whose partners have checked out emotionally, made to feel like a pest due to suddenly mismatched libidos. They want to stay for their children. Should they be denied feeling some pleasure with a likeminded person?

PinotPony · 12/02/2023 14:52

@everywhichway I've got the popcorn if you've got a couple of beers... 🍿🍻

That's a lot of words to say I'm not getting any so I'm going to cheat like

CinnamonCoffee · 12/02/2023 15:26

OMG emotional distress because you can't have a shag!!! Fucking fuck GrinGrin

CinnamonCoffee · 12/02/2023 15:31

@Judeisnotobscure and you actually believe what they say? Isn't it tale as old as time for men to say they are in a sexless marriage when they are not! Also staying for the children! Jesus not very original is it. Funny though

Satinthemiddle · 12/02/2023 15:39

Right I'm off back to the sex chat thread where there's no wokes or snowflakes.
For the snowflakes among us go find a safe space and stay out of threads you don't like the sound of.
Opinions are like arse holes every one has got one but it don't mean you have to get yours out at every given opportunity.
If like minded adults want to indulge in a little bit of naughty chat who are they hurting? The answer is no one
Go find a safe space and leave people to go about their personal private business!

Getir · 12/02/2023 15:45

Behold a man has entered the chat to tell the snowflakey women off.

Satinthemiddle · 12/02/2023 15:50

So now your making an assumption that I'm male
The terrible thread your bleating on about also has women in it OMFG shock horror
It's easy if you don't like it don't go in there and keep your opinion to yourself stop judging other for what they choose to do
Oh and for the record yes I'm a male

Getir · 12/02/2023 16:00

A woman with opinions you don't like. You will be telling me to get back into the kitchen next.

@gamerchick I don’t think that is the case. Maybe I empathise because I have seen this played out in my social circle, the spark fizzles out and people are left so unhappy
