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 don't need the beware warnings Mary but accept that some new posters may.

I know that you are not a troll (and if you are you are a bloody consistent one Smile).

It did sound a bit' threaty' - all that 'even if you name change, I can still spot you' that's all. Maybe people aren't good at concealing posting style- I wouldn't be- but it did come across as a shot across their bows, that's all.

Peace n love.

Because the comments about others peoples sexual preferences have been nasty and sexuality shaming. I wanted to point out how bad I thought it was, the way people comment about others' sexual preferences.

I don't actively disagree with the "We need a separate sex topic", so it want that point I was actually arguing with.

Satan

I don't gamble- only a fool bets on another person's game. Wink

I personally could not care less if somebody turns out to be a troll. Not that invested in the site as to feel personally let down, you see.

Yes, a bit of banter and a laugh about spreadsheets and outing me. It was getting there in terms of bonhomie before that.

The comments, not specifically your comments. I've quoted some of them on this thread already.

And maybe those of us who don't want to discuss our sex lives don't like being called ,prudes, uptight and odd.

works both ways, see.

Mary

Yes I don't spot name changers. Not one of my skill sets

Anyway, it has been (at times) a useful and interesting discussion that I will attempt to stay off in future

Peace n Love Smile

I think the only people who have used the word "prude" are the ones saying "I don't like to discuss sex much on MN". No one else has said "prude".

MrsMaturin · 18/05/2014 22:08

I haven't seen a single comment criticising sexual preferences. What there is plenty of are comments pointing out that if you undress in front of an open window all the time eventually somebody, somewhere will be looking in who you don't care for much.

HotSauceCommittee · 18/05/2014 22:11

I don't like the "you have been on yet another sex thread" tone, as if implying there is something wrong with that. I don't like the implication that some of us are knowingly engaging with a troll for our own gratification and validation. Very offensive. The tone isn't nice and "just be mindful", it far more sneery than that.

Fascinating.

Not.

ExitPursuedByABear · 18/05/2014 22:12

I said prude as I am the resident prude.

Problem?

I have never knowingly posted anything for the delectation of men. I'm not sure I know any posters who do so I don't know why you would accuse me of that. That's just weird and horrible.

HotSauceCommittee · 18/05/2014 22:19

Oh it was only the farting thread, no one was that bothered.

OP posts:
HotSauceCommittee · 18/05/2014 22:21

Oh, I understand what you mean now. I thought I was a lot more circumspect than on the past. A bit less of an engagement with individuals. It's just still not circumspect enough.

Well it's hardly nice to imply I am posting for the male gaze. That is horrible, offensive and insulting. This has just got personal now.
