The older members may want to discuss their fetishes, but the younger ones are free to read them, and they are highly impressionable. Do you actually know anyone aged 13 or 14? Would you discuss your fetishes in front of them in reality? It's too easy to be apathetic from behind a computer screen.


The younger ones are highly impressionable? Not all of them are. We have a 13 year old in here pregnant. Is she impressionable? I think not.

Yes, I do in fact. I have cousins that age.

Why would I want to? I wouldn't bring them up in front of them. I know better than that. But still, this is a internet forum. What are you going to do? It was one thread. And if you don't have any fetishes, you wouldn't go in there anyway.

There are some threads on this forum that aren't necessary, but the whole point of G&S is to ask questions, get different opinions, and become informed about things so you aren't completely ignorant and just start having sex.
People share their stories to make sure others don't make the same mistakes, and I see nothing wrong with making an informed decision as long as you can handle the consequences.
True, in most cases people aren't informed and end up getting played or pregnant, but if at least one person looks at this forum and decides not to have sex after all, that's one less STD or potential unwanted pregnancy.
Nowhere in this forum does it say "you should go and get laid"

Don't you SEE that there doesn't have to be a direct "go have sex" message? Kids see "I love to do x in bed" and don't think "oh that person is much older than me", they think "this person is cool and they're doing x, I should be doing that too". It's not necessarily even a conscious thought. That was a ridiculous post. And no MOST sexually active teenagers don't get STDs or pregnant, perhaps you should try to better inform yourself.

Saying 'that was a ridiculous post' doesn't help your argument. You're attacking the person rather than focusing on the argument.
And also saying I'm I'll informed is just making assumptions. If you must know, I have never willingly had sex because I've witnessed first hand what happens, and that to me is being well informed.

When did I ever say it wasn't fine to be sexually active? It isn't my problem if you take from my posts messages which are absolutely not there.

You don't care about the emotional wellbeing of kids simply because you're young and flippant. You'll realise your mistake in the future. They're not able to understand the consequences of their actions themselves, so they do need people looking out for them. I hope you're never a parent.


I do not recall saying you posted that either, it's not my problem that you simply can't understand that I'm merely pointing out that in your previous post you implied that sex is disgusting. Yes, when one reads your posts you do strike a person as a pompous and snobbish old man who really doesn't want to hear anyone else's opinions.

Again, why are you assuming that I don't care about their welllbeing because I'm 'young and flippant' and realise my 'mistake in the future' what does that mean? You really don't know me doll. You make it seem like they're mindless drones, yeah they're not likely to be able to make their own coherent decisions. Of course teenagers should be mollicoddled till they're 18 and be told what to and not to do, right? They're not stupid beings, they can understand what's wrong and what's right for them at their age, if they're simply given a chance and told the facts then there will be no problem.

You hope I'm never a parent? Yeah, me too.

You'll find that that 13 year old was in fact a troll, an obvious one at that. And if a girl gets pregnant at 13 she clearly is impressionable.

If you don't have any fetishes you wouldn't go in there? I don't think it works like that, sorry.

Did I say "you're a ridiculous person"? No, it was a comment on the post, not the poster.

Also, abstaining from sex does not necessarily mean you are well informed, would you like a prize though?

Post, person- doesn't matter. You weren't focusing on what I was trying to say.
Honestly, you can bash everyone all you want, but that's not going to remove the gender and sexuality forum from this website

That 13 year old could've been raped for all you know. You can't pass judgement onto someone you don't even know

Even she is one, to make the generalization that all children are impressionable, you're a goddamn fool.

Who cares regardless. The point is you have many members over the age of 18 too. Not every member here is 12. There's a large number of people in their lower to mid 20's.

Yes, there's some trolling from time to time, but this section also provides a lot of knowledge and factual information too.

It is disgusting to brag about what you have done sexually or to make revolting comments or jokes about sex, and it's disgusting for children to have sex, but never did I imply that sex itself was disgusting. You have no reason to be so rude to me, I am as entitled to share my opinions as you are.

You've established that I am a "pompous and snobbish old man" and yet I'm making assumptions and "really don't know you" when I simply expressed my opinion based on how you come across through your posts? You seem impolite and hypocritical.

I think that at perhaps 16 or 17 some teenagers are mature enough to decide for themselves, but at 14 they do need to be protected.

Your post contained what you were trying to say, and I addressed it. You're just avoiding the topic. I didn't "bash" anyone.

I don't want the section removed, I don't know where you got that idea. I simply want the moderators to have a bit of concern for the younger members.

Yes of course it's disgusting for children to have sex, but the problem it seems here is what people classify as children and maturity. I'd just like to point out here that I learnt about sex education when I was 11. I learnt about birth, pregnancy, sex and all the stuff that comes along with it. Everything most people my age are experiencing now, I learnt about it an early age. Is that wrong? That I was taught what to expect when I'm older? Having said that, some could argue that learning that at my age would either make me eager and very promiscous regarding sex. It's a misconception most will make. It's a totally different boundary, my brother who is currently 15 is very mature and can make very wise decisions, sometimes even better decisions than those who have twenty years on him. Now, is he still a child who can't make his own decisions in your view? Bear in mind he's also been exposed to sex education and such. It's a matter of perspective and saying this to a teenager really would not help the cause. If I told a teen that 'No, you can't do this because you're too young.' That would only make them want to do it, or become annoyed at the barrier that has been created. You have to explain and show your understanding, not throw a cloak of ignorance over them. Also keep in mind that they can make their own decisions, they have choices too.

Right, so you call me 'young and flippant', hope that I would 'never be a parent' and now I'm 'impolite and hypocritical'. Sorry hun, just thought you said I was being rude to you. Because you're obviously mistaken, call me what you will but I'm not rude. Not even to strangers on the internet. I shared my opinion, in a nice way doll. I'm never rude nor am I impolite. Also, how is that being rude to you? I merely summed up what type of persona you put across through your posts. That's how you seem to me, it's not my fault that you don't like it.

Actually mate, it's entirely relevant to this thread. I don't want kids. I don't like kids. I try to avoid kids. Now, most of the regular members on here are not kids. I don't see why I should have to be responsible for other people's responsibility. Don't want them to see such filth then don't let them on EC then.

Um, no.

It's completely relevant to this thread. Again, most of us are not fucking kids. I'm a fucking adult. We're free to talk about things like that. Plus, it's in the right goddamn section. Why do I have to be responsible for others? I'm not, and I don't have to be. If you don't like it, ignore it. Or just don't sign up for an account. As someone who has been here over a year, you get used to it.
