I also don't see where's the problem despite on most cultures being a taboo theme... I wouldn't click in a topic that I would disagree, just ignoring it.

I agree with spiraldoor, in my opinion this forum isn't the right place to discuss such things.

I've been looking to the members list and now thinking... The majority of the members are young and... this is a Rayman forum. A French game forum.

Heck, I wished that I could delete my previous post. :?

That's a good point. It's mostly minors on here, isn't it? And of course age caps wouldn't work... dammit. :mefiant: I was all looking forward to it. :roll:

The theme I confess I'm not very confortable to talk about it. Plus this isn't the right place to talk about it. Game forum, game-game-game.

So what ? :lol:

I seriously don't think it would be a bad thing. Those who don't want to discuss such things just wouldn't go there, and it wouldn't do any harm to those who want to.

Trust me, I don't care at all whether this topic is created or not, I'm just saying it would be ok. Sex is quite important, and the fact that people here are mostly underage/inexperienced justify the fact that they would want/need to talk about this.

That was the point I was thinking 3 posts ago, but I thought about the subject again, and thinking better, my answer is no. I won't be responsible for anything that happens next.

Both of you seem to think that the only thing wrong with the existence of a sex thread would be that I would have to look at it, and that this could be remedied by ‘not clicking’ on it. This is not correct. The very existence of such a thread would lower the standard of this site and would make me much less comfortable when linking to it. Obviously there’s a great number of children and young teenagers here and I do not think such discussions would be appropriate for that audience. How would parents react if they saw that their children were reading sexual discussions on a Rayman forum? Do you really think that sacrificing this site’s image just so you can have your kinky little chats here would be a worthy trade-off? How any of you could find this acceptable is incomprehensible to me.

What on earth would be discussed in a sex thread, anyway? I can’t even imagine what the first few posts would contain. Just ‘general discussion’? Sharing of experiences? ‘Hints & Tips’? :boon: What sort of content (images, descriptions etc) would be allowed and disallowed? Where precisely do you draw the line between what is acceptable and what is not? Would you have us return to the depravity of the Shawn era, where we had separate threads to discuss masturbation and fetishes? How many sexual threads would be allowed? Would there be a limit? This whole idea just sounds terrible to me. If you want to talk about sex, go and find some site which exists for that purpose and do so there. Or do so via the private messaging system, if you can find anyone else here who really wants to.

Sex is obviously important from an ‘ensuring the continuation of the species’ angle, but I do not see why Pirate-Community must be the place where such ‘important’ discussions are held. I do not want this site to be crowded by a bunch of sexually-inexperienced underage children saying ‘Hi I’m 12 and what is this?’. I don’t care if they ‘want’ or ‘need’ to talk about it; that’s what IRL friends and sex education are for, isn’t it? Keep your sex out of my Rayman forums.

The same could be said about some other threads here but of course people go their way to peek anyway and end up being WHAT HAS BEEN SEEN CAN'T BE UNSEEN and shit.

I'm kinda half and half on this one.

I just can't understand the way you think, spiral. At least for the first paragraph, but I agree with you about the content of such a topic, but I don't think a sex topic would be really serious anyway, people probably wouldn't want to share their experiences.

Can you really not understand me or are you just saying that? If you would like clarification on anything I have said, feel free to ask.

Spiral, I agree with you to a degree; it's the younger age of some members which turns me off the idea. At the same time, if there was once a Fetish topic, surely a Sex one would be far more useful and suitable? And in all honesty, the people who frequent PC the most are legal. Nevertheless, kids...
Originally, the only qualm you seemed to have was whether YOU'D have to look at it or not...

Then I think you have a problem. Because he was clear enough on his entire post. He actually took the words out of my mouth.

Just one thing Spiral... The forum is from everyone. :|

That's not what I meant, your posts are really clear, and I perfectly understand what you mean. It's just that I don't understand such points of view.

Okay, Spiral, now that you actually make sense, I'm beginning to see what you mean. I know I'd probably be able to handle it but yeah :/ there are a considerable amount of 11year olds on here that might not.

...I know :/

Okay, FYI, if I'm particularly bitchy to anyone the next few days, I'm sorry. There's just a lot going on and I don't know how to deal with it :/
