I thought I'd open up a thread about this because we've discussed it a bit in another thread. Obviously sex is a large and important part of relationships, and some of us are comfortable discussing it openly (but without being vulgar or inappropriate). However, it's been pointed out that there are younger members of the forum here, and that we need to keep things more PG-13.
Sunshine mentioned that we could PM each other, but to take sex discussions elsewhere. I think a lot of us are just more comfortable here, have gotten to know each other, etc. and a lot of people don't have friends in "real life" that they could discuss sex with. Private messaging could be difficult; how do you know who would and wouldn't want to be in on them? I do understand the concern with having these topics, but they are also topics a lot of people would like to discuss in a mature manner.
I just wanted to put the issue out there, so everyone could share their thoughts and ideas on the topic. Is an adults-only subforum a good idea for tPF? Do we need to stop discussing sex on the boards due to younger members being present? etc etc etc...
