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?

I think the point was made that some of the much longer standing posters did not like the way in which this site had evolved, Satans.

I agree that time served by posters gives no validity to posts. Been saying that for a while now....

Not at all Hot she has to mouth the word 'sex'. So no actually you will have to be JSP. or Denise Van Outen?

Longevity credentials: Mumsnetters have been telling me off for being - umm, jocular - for 7 years. The site has changed; everything changes, but to me MN still has the same strengths. There's more other stuff now, is all.

Then maybe MNHQ need to have a convos list that has a greater mix of topics on it but at the end of the day active convos is the way it is because those are the threads people are commenting on most so by that token it is the majority that want those sorts of threads. Which kind of skews the view that it is a handful of potty mouthed members that are bringing the site down.

HotSauceCommittee · 18/05/2014 18:49

Who exactly, are you referring to as "shit" Satans?

OP posts:
HotSauceCommittee · 18/05/2014 18:51

I don't tend to start the sex talk threads (wouldn't fucking dare the way people are so down on me), but seem to be taking the blame for saying they are in the minority.
I come here for intelligent chat too, so I don't know why you are so adamant that the sex chats are so prevalent. They are not.

Most of them get deleted because they are troll threads.

Which kind of proves that MN attracts the creepy fuckers.

Theres not many days on MN when at least one trolly sex thread isn't deleted.

Not before some people have over shared on them though.

They need to be zapped quicker or ignored.

HotSauceCommittee · 18/05/2014 18:58

Well you obviously see more/notice of them than I do, Usually*.Confused

You've never noticed the teenage bed wetting troll?

He likes to post a thread every week

usuallysuspect · 18/05/2014 19:05

And the thing that annoys me is, it's obviously a troll but god forbid you warn posters on the thread.

You get your bloody head kicked in Grin

FunnyFoot · 18/05/2014 19:05

I agree with the troll threads but I have seen page after page of posters encouraging obvious (non sex trolls) so I don't see a difference.

If the thread is a troll it will be deleted meaning any posts that are too over sharey (not a word I know) will be deleted also. No problems.
If like the ejaculation thread it is not a troll then by the time it hit the 4th page posters would have have known it was here to stay so they were sharing because they wanted to.

usuallysuspect · 18/05/2014 19:10

I just find it strange that posters want to engage with the pervy trolls.

MNHQ are not exactly quick to delete. One well known creepy fucker was posting for months and had been reported several times before MNHQ finally banned him.

FunnyFoot · 18/05/2014 19:10

I do find the teenage bed wetting troll a bit Shock but then he isn't drawn in by the sex threads is he, he is drawn in by those who openly discuss their children's incontinence (not saying they are wrong to discuss this topic) which is a support topic.

I think trolls sex or other types will frequent these boards regardless but I for one will not let the 'fear' of them invading stop me from saying what I want within talk guidelines.

TequilaMockingbirdy · 18/05/2014 19:15

Never noticed the bed wetting troll, thanks for the heads up. It's a shame because there's folk who are genuine and want help.

But then that's a MNHQ issue and a complaint should be made to them for being slow on the up take or ignoring the multiple reports they get.

Blaming those who choose to openly discuss sex on non troll threads for causing the trolls is unfair as it is clear they will pop up anywhere and on any topic.

If the sex threads are not to somebodies taste then they should simply hide it. If they believe it is a troll then report it. But name calling/shaming or calling them idiots for over sharing is not on in my opinion.

MrsMaturin · 18/05/2014 19:39

I don't think anybody has been called an idiot have they? Foolish yes.
I just hope none of the fools concerned find out the extent of their folly through seriously unpleasant personal experience. If nothing else then don't post on the sex threads in your 'own' names. If you name change for those threads you will cut down on the potential for creeps to AS and stalk you.

'the neediness for male approval ' - yes it is a concern that this seems to be at the root of the situation. Understandably posters are very defensive when this is suggested though so apply your flameproof suit......
