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?

Fools/idiots these are all your opinions of the women who choose to share. They are just your opinions and I am not trying to force any of you to change them but I am saying that using those words against posters/women who CHOOSE (and that's the buzz word. They CHOOSE to) to share is wrong and unfair censorship.
Given the fact that this site is aimed at women who want to talk freely and openly without needing to conform to views held by men or society in general I find the idiots/foolish/stupid/naïve comments go against the premise of MN.

But that's just my opinion.

Well as usual pointed out there's some troll getting off on the topic of bed wetting. That's quite a popular topic of conversation on here obviously, so even that is feeding and entertaining the trolls. We can't stop talking about that though? So why should we stop talking about sex for the sake of the fakers/trolls? Obviously I recognise someone being errr rather entertained by bed wetting isn't the norm but theres people out there who can sexualise or get turned on by practically everything we talk about.

TequilaMockingbirdy · 18/05/2014 19:53

I think the 'male approval' thing is really really offensive. No wonder people are defensive against comments like that.

Ah yes I did miss that what was he doing?

MrsMaturin · 18/05/2014 19:59

I want women to talk freely and openly without reference to the agenda of exploitative men. That's NOT what I see on a lot of the sex threads.

usuallysuspect · 18/05/2014 19:59

Right, several posters pointed out that Thevictorian was a troll.

Yet still posters engaged with him and carried on posting graphic details of their sex lives. Even when he was on the thread.

Why would you do that?

FunnyFoot · 18/05/2014 20:00

No Satan I was not picking out points. Should a poster choose to share with an obvious troll then that is their choice. Why should it make them an idiot? An idiot implies that they are stupid/foolish and I don't see why.
How do you know the sex story they are sharing is actually real? Especially on an obvious troll thread. You don't.

I see people engaging on obvious troll threads all the time and frankly they do not get the beat down those on the sex threads do and I do not see the difference so I think it is unfair.

TequilaMockingbirdy · 18/05/2014 20:02

Ah I see. I have to say though it's so annoying when you become invested in a thread and are talking with other posters, only for it to be later revealed as a troll. I don't think I would have carried on personally though.

It is pandering Satan I agree but as I said I see posters pandering to trolls all the time I just think it's unfair for those on a sex thread to be labelled as the route cause of all sex trolls.

I never saw the original thread but I did read the ejaculation one and some posters commented repeatedly to show their disgust and name call. I think this was wrong. That thread afaik was not started by a troll.

MrsMaturin · 18/05/2014 20:12

This comes back to the personal/public dilemma. What handbag I use is a personal choice but it's something I take outside with me all the time and you get to see it and if you hate it I won't be distraught and if my mum heard what I'd chosen that would be fine and dh isn't going to be embarassed by my posting what I do with it. So it's personal but not private. My sexual preferences oth are not something I take outside (or at least that I'm going to tell you lot about). Another person IS involved and I don't want my mum to hear about it.
So that's the difference between the sex troll threads and all the other stuff which may or may not be nonsense. It's the sex threads that feature posters at their most vulnerable and please don't anybody try and claim they are NOT vulnerable to this. We all know that's bollocks.

Well that takes you back to the 'by parents for perverts' tagline situation which I'm sure we can all agree would be awful.

FunnyFoot · 18/05/2014 20:18

I wouldn't but just because others choose to I don't see how calling them idiots will change it. It will probably make them do it all the more.

BelleOfTheBorstal · 18/05/2014 20:19

Was that the face ejeculation thread?
I didn't even bother looking at that, viewing it as dodgy subject matter from the get go.
If I want to discuss that, I will head to my more appropriate forum where I won't get people questioning why anyone would ever do that.
But a month or two ago, there was a very moving thread by someone who had just experienced her first orgasm.

GarlicMayHaveNamechanged · 18/05/2014 20:19

Satan, are we talking about the same thread? The 'oops' thread that was deleted last night?

If so, "delighted that some women are free to share stories of how wonderfully liberated they are, with all the details. Not in a women sharing with women way, or supportive" is not what I saw AT ALL! It was just women telling little stories about messy sex accidents. Which happen, and probably need to be shared because your mainstream media/porn don't tell that stuff's normal (and funny.)

FunnyFoot · 18/05/2014 20:20

Why are the posters on sex threads any more vulnerable than others?

My point being, should she not have shared that? It was obviously something she would have not felt comfortable talking about in real life but by posting about it on here, she got support and reassurance.

How do you KNOW that though? Or is that just your assumption/opinion.

You cannot assume every single poster on a sex thread has those issues and if some do, do you really think calling them idiots/foolish/disgusting and the reason this site is going to the dogs is going to help them?
