I really wish the sex board wasn’t on active. It changes the whole tone of the Mumsnet board when you click on Active. And not in a good way.
If you agree please reply to this post.

Agree.

Topseyt123 · 23/02/2023 17:31

Totally agree. It is sleazy and attracts pervs.

I don't particularly want to see it (and I am considering hiding it).

BIWI · 23/02/2023 17:33

I agree.

I also agree with @JazzyGeoff's post:

I actually think a sex topic, on a chat board primarily aimed at women and used by women is a great idea for a useful resource for questions about all things sex; before kids, after kids, peri and post menopausal etc as well as just wanting other women's frank and open opinions on general filth.

I've looked at the current Sex board- it's not that. It seems to be a hang out for men, mainly.

Who, at MNHQ thought this was a good idea? How many of those behind this development have given birth? How many of them are men? How many of them genuinely understand what women want in those days/weeks/months after having a baby, and where sex fits in?

I'm also getting increasingly annoyed about the anodyne responses that we're getting. I suspect that you're having to toe the party line @LilyMumsnet - so please note this isn't directed at you personally.

But ignoring all the posts and threads that have been made about this is insulting to your users - who are your content providers after all.

Luckingfovely · 23/02/2023 17:42

I agree. Total dick move by MB. Literally.

AlwaysGinPlease · 23/02/2023 17:45

I agree. Changing the time for posting from 3 months to 7 days is disgusting.

Pseudonamed · 23/02/2023 17:49

Agree.

Hate that its on active.

LizziesTwin · 23/02/2023 17:52

Agree and Ive now hidden it. I’d like to hide the ads for sex toys too

Mercurial123 · 23/02/2023 17:52

Agree

BIWI · 23/02/2023 17:54

@LizziesTwin if you're on the website/using the desktop site, install adblocker. It's free and you won't see any of those ads any more.

I used to feel guilty about depriving MN of ad revenue, but no more.

I agree

FuckeNell · 23/02/2023 17:57

Agree

GrisleyR · 23/02/2023 17:57

Totally Agree!

IncompleteSenten · 23/02/2023 17:57

Yes please.

If I ever decide I want to exchange sexual fantasies and favours with strangers I now know where to go so job done.

LetUsPonce · 23/02/2023 17:57

Agree.

ellieebie · 23/02/2023 17:58

Wouldn't a poll make more sense Hmm 'Only comment if you agree' is rather pointless:

I don't mind. I think a sex board is needed but the seven day minimum should be increased and perhaps some extra vigilance over there. I have the topic hidden.

februarysunset · 23/02/2023 17:58

I agree.

clarrylove · 23/02/2023 17:59

I agree

Theredfoxfliesatmidnight · 23/02/2023 17:59

Agree although I like visiting the Sex board sometimes. I just want to choose when I see it.

ellieebie · 23/02/2023 18:00

If you're accessing via your phone go into your web browser (safari, Google etc) login then hide the topic. Simple.
