Honey, why don't you like kids. You are one too.

how old are you ?

ashiemae you seem really young. How old are you? This place seems to grown up for you. You should try the teen site. You might be suprised and actually like it.

As an adult, sex is a major issue in life. Problems with sex, issues with sex...they all play a substantial role in day-to-day life.

If you don't like it, I'm very sorry...there is always the teen group. However, we cannot be asked to censor ourselves simply to protect one or two people. This is, at heart, an adult's forum, where we can ask for help about ALL issues--sex included. Nobody is forcing you to read or reply to posts involving sex--just skip over what you don't want to read.

Exactly, there is going to always be something offensive, especially with how much depression fits into many things. You need to understand that if you can't handle a post, then stop reading and move on. Don't keep going on and on. People have a right to post what makes them feel better and if it is offensive to someone else, they may voice their opinion and move on to something else. I was hurt by the joke she put on her "clean jokes" post, but I'm not going to post 5 times how it hurt me.

quite obviously, testy can take care of herself, we all care and most do nothing INTENTIONALLY to hurt. just be free here!

Actually I have been hurt a lot with what I see posted on these boards these days. This is supposed to be a safe place for everyone. There are many people on this site who suffered abuse as well, that feel the same way as me. The posts she mentioned do bother me, especially if you stumble into one not knowing what it is about.

Adults are allowed to have their space, my dear. You are, right now, a guest in an adult forum. You have started about three threads complaining about this or that in this forum.

I suggest you re-explore the teen forums, since you find this one so disagreeable.

Testycatlady, we certainly are sensitive to the needs of those of you who have endured sexual abuse--that's a horrible experience and nobody in the world deserves to have such torture inflicted upon them.

That being said...

You are right, this is a safe forum. It's a forum where we can seek help no matter what our issue, with the secure knowledge that we will not be judged. I agree, if you create a thread that specifically says, "Please do not mention sex"...certainly, it is very rude for anyone to not follow that request. However...should we be forced not to seek out answers to problems stemming from or dealing with sex? This is an open forum for discussion of ideas...ALL ideas are open for discussion. There's a reason that we have a threaded system here...you don't need to read the threads that bother you or make you uncomfortable. If you begin to read one that deals with sex, you don't have to reply and don't have to continue reading...

Many of us here do need help with sexual issues...and this should be a sympathetic forum for all issues, all people, and all topics.
