To not actually care if the Sex topic is in active?

[PaperDoves]

I don't care. Do you?

YABU: Get Sex out of active!
YANBU: I really don't care.

This sums up my view perfectly.

I don't understand why it's such as issues. If I don't want to read, I don't open it

Depresses me some of the stuff just appearing. No need for it.

But it's too late. Rimming and 69 is already in my head from the title.

I care but I don’t think MNHQ will change anything so it’s not worth complaining any more.

YABU, and if you don't care then why bother starting a thread about it?

This. I didn't care either until I read some of the posts in site stuff especially re the underage sex .

I don't really care. I never look at it.

It's ridiculous the uproar this has caused on here.

I just don't get it at all.

Who cares so much about something so insignificant.

Exactly. It's not really pearl clutching to not want to see thread titles about rimming /fisting/squirting when you're idly scrolling Mumsnet while waiting for the kettle to boil.

And particularly don't forget that many of us on here will be (statistically ) victims of rape. Calling sensitivity around that "pearl clutching" is really unpleasant.

And yes "you can hide the topic" ... But thats only if you are logged in, Mumsnet don't change the settings have a glitch, and if you are aware that's an option

For victims of rape and sexual abuse this is not trivial or insignificant

But equally I could start an aibu about rimming or 69. It is just a board. Since when have women stopped having the ability to not answer pm's from married men or can ickle women not resist.

I guess MN would move it to sex topic pretty swiftly though. And I would hope people would be sensitive to others actually and not do that.

Am less worried about the chat thing. It's a bit grim but each to their own, as long as it doesn't impact me or trigger traumatic memories then I am not really fussed.

I don't think resisting is the problem

I quite like it tbh! I like sex and I like to read about other people liking sex.

I don't understand the outrage. If you're not interested, don't read it.

Unlikely that everyone seeing it is a virgin, given that it's on mumsnet! 😂

Doesn't bother me.

It doesn't bother me.

I also never see the sex toy ads, which would bother me more (even tho I don't have an issue with sex toys just don't want them on my monitor for the world to see) but luckily I use an ad block so don't have to see those.

But it's too late. Rimming and 69 is already in my head from the title.

That's ridiculous. Maybe you need more in your life to think about than sex.

I disagree with them opening it up to posters who have only been registered a week. That's a bad move imho, more so than it appearing in Active.

I care as chats just pop up with quite explicit titles. It feels odd

It doesn't take much imagination. With all the outraged threads recently, I wanted to know if I was in the minority. Apparently I'm not.

Don't care either way. I scan active and only click on what interests me. If it doesn't interest me, I scroll on by. 🤷‍♀️

Either Mumsnet must be appropriate for all ages or for adults only. If it needs to be appropriate for all ages then a lot of changes will need to be made.Having once been a teenager on the internet, I can say with absolute confidence that no actual teenager is coming to mumsnet to learn or talk about sex, much less to find random men to sext with. Teenagers have the entire internet at their disposal (and if you think your own teens can't get around your parental controls, you are mistaken). Even with the sex topic, Mumsnet is one of the least sexy sites online.I do think reducing the waiting period down to seven days was an odd decision.

Love the ‘if you’ve probably had sex before then your boundaries don’t matter’ defense. Sounds familiar.

I think the ‘don’t read it’ point is great though, take it out of active and we don’t have to.
