That sub forum has no ads so Jeff is making no money from the explicit forum

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.

Yes, I stop in once in awhile. An unhappy spouse will eventually try to hook up.

But there are a lot of happily married people who also visit the forum.

Also it seems like Jeff has aspirations to be involved in local politics, so the explicit forum could create some issues there as well.

I assumed was talking less about the sex subject and more about some of the stuff that some people would consider cheating online.

Pregnancies, marriages, children - and sex are all related! It is a perfect forum for a parenting website. Yes, there are some really explicit stuff out there - but it gives you a really good understanding of what the low libido within a marriage can do to the spouse. Many people who are trying to hook up are the ones who are dissatisfied with the sexual aspect of their marriage. No husband tries to pick up another woman because his wife does not do laundry, or his kids is not taking AP Calculus - but they will do that because sex is infrequent, staid and boring.

Then there are other parents who have a great sex life and they will share tips and tricks. If nothing else - it expands your horizons.

Being parents does not mean that you are not sexual beings. You still have your fantasies, your libido, your kinks!

I bet OP's husband is a regular on the explicit forum. Poor guy.

You sound like a prude. Your poor husband.

So you "accidently" clicked on the explicit forum but stayed long enough to see that the stuff was "drivel?" Got it! LOL!

I kind of agree, OP.

That forum is weird and entertaining and sad at the same time.
