Sex forum.

[Zero Beat]

I couldn't think of another way to word the Title...

I think we should have a forum *I dunno maybe in p101?* about sexual activities. I've noticed a few threads going into sexuality cause of they seeing it about sex without reading anything :rolleyes: And sometimes they aren't really P101 related (Ok yeah sex is an off cut from going through puberty)

Whats your thoughts?

You're not really supposed to talk about sex, like y'know, stories, which is what I'm perceiving from your post.

Interesting thought. On a forum I used to frequent, there was something like that featured - but it was strictly limited to age 16 and above, and any member who requested access had to first be approved by an administrator. The idea was that, discussions with explicit sexual content is unsuitable for younger teens, but after all, sex is a part of the teenage experience - and can be discussed constructively and positively.

But - I could also see it being very difficult to enforce - and then end up being swarmed with "P101ers", doing all the things which the rules as of now prohibit them from doing.

There are lots of other places on the internet for discussing sexual activities, though. It doesn't have to be on here.

No i dont mean that way im talking about things like...

Me (http://www.virtualteen.org/forums/showthread.php?t=69312)

But also looking at what Stephen did VT Hospital would be the most part for them sorts of questions.

There are people here who are 18+, there are people here who are 13-14. I think that awareness is a good thing, meaning that knowledge would be useful, especially to those growing up. At the same time, it's not seen as acceptable for somebody considered an adult to be talking to a child on the internet about sex, sexual techniques, their own sex lives, etc. You can see why, though.

Interesting idea, perhaps to counteract your idea, a 16+ section (dependant on the age of consent from country to country, state to state), where members after a certain amount of posts (to avoid trolling, say 50-100+ posts) could discuss these issues after requesting to be a member of the forum. Nothing wrong with that, imo. We're all human, we all need to learn about things in some way.

I see a lot of people are saying it should be 16+... and what about them who are younger and do (it happens) it would only be helping half the people. Im not advertising sex.

Lol. If i get banned just for this small then huff, no point being here. Anyway... yeah ok more work for mods. Way to fix that, more mods :D :P yeah yeah I know can't just pull mods out of the air. Also... if this forum was made it would be best to private it, like TWPR. **Side note: Mod reading this, can you give a clear reason why its only that forum that is private?**

A new breed of VTers, Sexters (dunno why i added a t, sounds better then sexers :P)

[Giles]

like TWPR. **Side note: Mod reading this, can you give a clear reason why its only that forum that is private?**

It's private because it's not really offering any advice in the whole forum, most of the posts are just jokes and people ranting. So there's no need for guests to see anything posted there.

Can you think of any other sub-forums that would need to be private?... most, if not all, of the other ones offer advice in some form. Meaning that guests could get the help they need by a member posting the question and them seeing the answer without themselves having to register and post the exact same question.

Based on your comment: "it's not really offering any advice in the whole forum" (under lined in the text) Food and Cooking. Unless 'favourite type of alcohol?' or 'how we eat our pizza' is advice... But we are not here to discuss what forums should become private and not.

This is about a sub-forum to discuss questions users might have about sex. It seems like this topic is one that many users hide away from cause its seen as more work. We are a help forum, sex is something younger people do need help with. We have about Drugs and Meds, and Education and Careers why not sex?

People can ask sex questions in the puberty forum, teen sexuality, and even relationships and dating. People have been able to ask questions fine in this set up for a long time now and I don't think its worth the risks.

General Questions, Polls and Surveys
Girls, have questions for guys? Guys, have questions for girls? Post them all here. Also all puberty related polls and surveys should be posted here.


Puberty For Boys (85 Viewing)
The puberty forum for BOYS ONLY. The only sexual questions permitted are sex-ed questions.

Puberty For Girls (19 Viewing)
The puberty forum for GIRLS ONLY. The only sexual questions permitted are sex-ed questions.

Teen Sexuality (7 Viewing)
Problems with sexuality? Or just want to share your experience identifying what yours is? This is the place for you.

Ignoring the viewing things, umm in Puberty, sex ed questions ARE allowed and that is clearly stated in the description.
Although it is named Puberty, anything related to puberty or sex goes there.

Teen Sexuality for the sole purpose of LGBT issues since the term for that is your sexuality.

So ya, we don't need a new forum. The division is fine as is, people just don't read and comprehend descriptions well

Yeah John we got that :) no need for a sex forum

I know I tend to "answer questions after others have answered" but I like doing that because I feel I need to reiterate because some questions are asked OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER again and it seems NO ONE NO ONE NO ONE actually searches or tries to think from the staff perspective or utilize a thing called common sense...therefore, I achieve some type of self-satisfaction by adding my two-cents...even if it isn't necessarily needed.

Yes yes, I'm stupid and lazy (who on here doesn't know that about me?) and didn't think to read the p101 thingy.
