Do you think it's time to start a sexuality shaming topic?

For all those who want us to shut up and not to help and laugh with others about sex?

Maybe we could keep the censorious ness and the comments of "what is wrong with people?"

"This is pathetic"

"Why do you need/want to talk about this?"

I've seen no "twats", either metaphorical, or literal, on the sex threads, just coherent, strong argument in favour of discussion and some great humour at times.

I notice that the anti-sex brigade didn't answer some of the rebuttals and counter questions to their protests on the sex threads. Perhaps they'd care to elaborate on a special "Sexuality shaming" thread? Then they can get together some really good insults going and hopefully make the "sex positive" posters among us shut up and creep back into the woodwork.

Has it got legs, do you think?

Whatchoo talking 'bout, Willis?

TequilaMockingbirdy · 17/05/2014 18:50

Yes id like a sex shaming thread, they can all go and discuss their disgust there instead of calling other women pathetic.

meditrina · 17/05/2014 18:53

There is already an active thread in site issues on essentially the same topic.

Do we need another?

And is this a TAAT about the thread that has just been deleted because the OP was a troll? And so the concerns about that thread were actually right?

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 17/05/2014 18:53

This looks an awful lot like a thread about a thread.

Terrible etiquette.

If you can't bring yourself to post on the thread in question, don't post.

Well, by the same token, the other thread suggesting a Sex topic is a TAAT, isn't it? Or do the rules only apply for some?

No, I think it's fine to discuss how MN arranges its topics, as many times and in as many ways as people want so to do.

There are plenty of non-troll sexually explicit threads on MN. The sorts of WTAF comments that appeared on this afternoon's (now deleted) thread are not typical. And in this case were vindicated.

There is no 'anti sex' brigade here. There is a quite a lot of critical posting on scribble and trollery.

One of the sex threads was a sex troll.

You were so carried away with being all about the sex, you didn't even notice.

Not at all and that is awfully bad form Maryz. I NC for real life anonymity, not to fly under the radar about this sort of thing on here. I didn't have you down as such a spiteful type as to out me.
What loathe some behaviour.

I don't care, Usually. I wasn't aware of it and for the debate it started, it was worth it for me. Meh.

[Hmm]

Was the fart one a troll then?

HavannaSlife · 17/05/2014 19:12

Hmm even

Evening all

As most of you know, we think MN is a site for adults and, among other things, that means discussions about sex, sometimes very frank ones. We have zero problem with this.

We do have a problem with heavy-breathers turning up purely to elicit sexual stories, of course. When these people are reported to us with deal with 'em.

Sometimes, posters think they've spotted a heavy-breather and it's actually a perfectly legit poster who has namechanged to post something intimate. Again, if folk approach us off-board to ask we can usually set your mind at rest in this situation (without ever confirming someone's 'normal' identity of course).

When the sex topic idea has been proposed before we've always decided against it on the basis of it being an absolutely massive troll-magnet. That's probably still our viewpoint but as ever we're happy to listen to your views.

There seems to have been some outing that's gone on here so we'll zap that post.

Will post on the the other thread as well.

Thanks
MNHQ

Well you wouldn't carry on your argument on the original threads, so why would I bother to engage with you on your terms?

Your thread is as much a TAAT as mine. You know what precipitated your thread; another fucking thread about sex!

Oh well. Maybe I'll NC again or de-reg. This has really upset me. I was posting about some emotional stuff on the sex threads; issues near to my heart, not my clit. But hey, I can STFU and grin and bear it can't i?
