'Mumsnet hijacked by sex discussions' - Telegraph article, your views?

[RebeccaMumsnet]

Hi all,

There is an article in The Telegraph today discussing the "risqué underbelly" of Mumsnet, and claiming that the site is "being hijacked by women looking to share steamy details of their private lives, leading to complaints from mothers looking for serious advice."

Justine has commented in the article, saying: "Happily it seems some mothers do still have time for their sex lives and we're pleased to provide a go-to destination for straight answers when you need to ask life's important but often embarrassing questions."

What are your thoughts on this?

Is this where we have a 'Spartacus' moment?...

I'm Joanna Baxter....

A sex topic?

I notice the OP of this thread hasn't been back

So What are your thoughts on this? = Have a look at this article and lets all point and laugh

I like it.

The Telegraph would prefer us all to go the site where sex is only there for making baybeez, which is why it's called baby dancing and not SEX.

bollocks

I think Joanna Baxgter took a wrong turn when looking for a site about advice on bringing up baby. She meant to go to the pink and sparkly site. Let's hope she finds her way there, after trauma therapy, of course.

I don't know why you are all being so grumpy.

Think of the children sniggers about pearl necklaces

Daily Mail jumping on the dandwgon as predicted by moi.

*bandwagon don't know what a dandwagon is. Probably something to do with sex.

we are all making mistakes on this thread ! I just called her baxgter
We are all being damned by the DM and the DT

A regular on the site, mother Joanna Baxter

She walks among us.

Meh, Sokay, Fenton.

I had higher hopes from you, tbh.

[churlish]

Actually there has been a real dearth of interesting sex threads recently. I might have to start one later.

AIBU to arse around on MN all night because I CBA to shag my husband?
AIBU to plan my next AIBU thread while shagging my husband?

Who is Joanna Baxter?

Everyone is under suspicion now.

But perhaps she flounced due to the X rated threads.

She'll be in the Priory. Without a doubt.

Sorry Chaos I'm losing my touch, - even had help from HoneyDragon with my Hallowe'en name.

Oh, how I wish my underbelly was risqué!

Lazy article.

I am most definitely NOT Joanne Baxter

AIBU to find Golden Showers a bit tedious?

We are a bunch of coarse women,according to a DM commenter.

On a quite serious note, though. A few of the sex threads I have seen on have been started by vulnerable women asking if what they are experiencing is normal. On occasion, they are told that, no, it's not normal, they are being abused and should run a fucking mile.

This sometimes results in giving the OP the confidence to put a stop to whatever is going wrong?

Why do women start these threads? Because there is an open and largely non-judgemental attitude to sex (in all its forms!) on this site and they trust that they will be answered in a frank and honest way. I, for one, would have it no other way.

God forbid we go back to the days when no one talked about it and women put up with sub-standard sex lives or - at worse - abusive ones, because everyone is too much of a prude to talk about it.

AIBU to dye my beef curtains?

Oh, you are coarse, JB namechangers!

I do think it's all got a bit silly tbh but I'm MN old school. And proud
