Does it bother anyone that the same people who post on the explicit forum post here?

I'm an infrequent poster on the explicit forum, but quite frequent poster in some of the other forums here (Off Topic, travel, etc.)

Personally, I wouldn't like that (locked forum requiring sign in.) I really like the very anonymous aspect of DCUM as a whole and requiring sign in would take away from that. I really don't want to be linked to some of the questions or other posts I have made in explicit.

It doesn't bother me that folks from explicit post here unless they forget where they are. But otherwise, how would I know? Why would I care?

Families are the product of sex. Sex (hopefully!) takes place throughout the period of the marriage.

We don't talk about it enough. I don't read through the explicit forum, but I hope they're talking about the importance of making time for physical intimacy once you become a parent. That's a hard adjustment, and there's not a lot of information out there.

I'm surprised there isn't more discussion of sex ed for children in the General Parenting section. My kids are early school age. What's a good starting point for discussion? What about people with teens and tweens? The "talk"? Sending kids off to college? Birth control for minors? Teaching teens about self love? First boyfriends and girlfriends, how do parents manage our anxiety?

The idea that a "family site" has no room for sex is a big problem. Issues like potty-training, breastfeeding, and STTN have shown what a marvelous resource we can be for one another. I, for one, am not interested in your shaming.

Honestly, I forget that it's there.

"Locked away" - Sounds so prudish. What's the point of "locking it away from public eyes" when all you have to do is not go there if it offends you? It doesn't show up on Recent Topics, it doesn't come up in forum search, what's the point of locking it up?

It's the opposite, actually. Google ads can't show up there because of the explicit content, so there is no advertising there.

Seriously!
Does the PP not trust herself to not look at that forum? You know what, if you look at it, it's okay! Sex is part of life.

It seems a bit strange to me that all of us are posting about our children, pregnancies, schools, etc right alongside people who are posting that drivel in explicit? I'm no prude but some of that stuff is really out there and crude. Seems like a strange forum to add to a parenting website.

Accidentally huh...

Parents have sex (sometimes boring, sometimes wild & crazy). That is the whole premice of becoming a parent.

Have you actually SEEN that forum? We're not talking about just normal or adventurous marital sex. And it seems like a lot of those folks are single/hook ups.

LOL, nope! I post HERE anonymously, and there I use a screen name. Complete with links to some pictures! Married with kids =)

Doesn't bother me at all. Why would it? You can learn some pretty interesting stuff in that forum - same as all the others!! (& no, I don't post there but have read some!)

People are complex. Everyone is sexual.

Doesn't bother me at all. I thik there are more offensive threads in GP and OT than on that forum.
