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?

there was a very moving thread by someone who had just experienced her first orgasm.

Yes, and she posted it on one of the 'hidden' boards because she was nervous about her very sensitive thread being hijacked into an argument about sex threads :(

She didn't elaborate, but in her position I'd be anxious about trolls, troll hunters, respondents being told not to post, and being called a troll! It's a bit worrying when long-standing MNers are scared to post personal stuff, even under a name-change.

If we're heading towards "You can post about your third-degree tears and your prolapsed bladder, but don't mention sex unless you're TTC" ... what are we, the Catholic Procreation Society?!

Again I am not saying that those who share on a obvious troll thread are doing the right thing what I am saying is if they choose to then so be it. It will be deleted by MNHQ in the end. And should those women find themselves the victim of unwanted PMs then they are the consequences of their own actions. Cause and affect.

I may not agree with it but I accept it is up to them.

GarlicMayHaveNamechanged · 18/05/2014 20:34

Garlic, that thread was started by a male troll and steered by him.

No, I didn't see any steering, just a few "hahaha" posts. I didn't spend the whole evening pressing F5 (something I never do Hmm) and have assumed it got a bit out of hand after I left. The OP seemed a bot off to me but, as I've said, I found it a funny & constructive thread whilst I was there - and am rubbish at troll hunting.

Sometimes I don't even report posters I really think are trolls, if the thread in general is one that other readers could find informative/supportive.

And now you KNOW how hard I'm having to resist asking, you naughty Satan.

FunnyFoot · 18/05/2014 20:48

I didn't Satan. I grouped the wording together as it all follows the same vain.

So you know every poster who over shares on a sex thread has the issues you described? You actually KNOW that.

I think you have many issues Satan however none that can be helped by me calling you an idiot so I will leave it.

Don't bless me unless your the pope Satan I find it very patronising especially coming from well, Satan.

I never said your issues were around sex. I just said you had issues.

It was you who mentioned sex. Interesting.

Because those of you crowing about the one sex troll thread have never been taken in by a troll relationships thread have you?

Oh no, oh no. That's never happened Wink.....

FunnyFoot · 18/05/2014 21:05

Why am I naïve Satan?

And where have I cast around insults based on cod phycology?

It's really sad we're arguing/debating (?) over this.

FunnyFoot · 18/05/2014 21:15

It is interesting. I generally find people interesting on a whole.

I didn't relate the issues I think you have to sex nor did I imply it but straight away you denied having issues in that area. Why not say I have no issues I am a perfectly balanced individual who is happy and content with myself.

Also you never said why you believe I am naïve.

And your right TV is crap this evening Grin

Belle

The facial ejaculation thread isn't a troll and if you actually read it you'll see that most of it is a discussion around the subject rather than a bunch of women trying to outsex each other. There are some really great posts and points on there.

And as for troll fodder and disclosure, many many posters regularly over share about all aspects of their lives and even their children's. They disclose intimate details of their children's issues including mental health, social factors and physical health or other relatives issues and seem not to consider the fact that it is on a public forum.

I have read descriptions of skid marks in children's undergarments, verbatim accounts of discovered emails, conversations and letters. Explicit accounts of potty training, constipation, faecal impaction etc - all of these are more than adequate fodder for some pretty unsavoury people (and I used to nurse some of them in forensics- it'd make your teeth fall out with shock if you knew the degree by which sites like this provide their fodder from the seemingly innocuous!)

So a few sex threads of which one last night proved to be a troll is actually not that much too worry about. Being sex, it is an easy (and lazy) target for a much bigger issue which is over disclosure in general and the fact that some of you want to impose your own hierarchy of needs upon the site.

TequilaMockingbirdy · 18/05/2014 21:16

Don't be so fucking rude, just because you've got a stick up your arse because someone thinks you've got issues doesn't mean you can take it out on me Hmm

TequilaMockingbirdy · 18/05/2014 21:16

sorry x posts.

TequilaMockingbirdy · 18/05/2014 21:18

And MUCH of what goes on within a family is private but it doesn't stop a lot of MNers posting about it on many many threads.

In medical note detail.

FunnyFoot · 18/05/2014 21:21

Is that what you believe I am doing Satan?
