Where do you think we should draw the line in terms of sexual questions on here? (bearing in mind the minimum age is 13)

Hmm, difficult. Who defines what is acceptable? What is sexual? I hate most of those questions on sites like this anyway. I'd ban them all.

Some people can take sex too far, I mean it's in a marriage but it's not the only main reason why people get married there need to be other things in there to balance it out.

I'm sure most 13 year olds are aware of what sex is. And all the other stuff. It's no secret that most of them look at internet porn. But you know, this is a public site and it's best to keep it clean and not use derogatory terms.

What a great question. I, too, come from Ask.com and the questions posed by kids were explicit, the language was sometimes profane and sometimes obscene.

I'm not sure where the kids are coming up with their sexual information, but my son had some type of sex ed starting in 2nd grade. The content and language was age appropriate and I always had a vote on whether or not I would allow him to participate in the lesson.

However, most people have no clue about boundaries, how to set them and how to abide by them. So when you allow the questions, you 'll need to be explicit in what is acceptable and what is not.

For example, questions about STD's would be acceptable - language permitting. Questions regarding how to perform (fill in the blank) would not.

I would say it becomes enough when one starts asking for explicit details or about sexual positions.  There should be a notice that there have been Pedophiles on this site in the past so users need to be careful what they ask on here.

Maybe general sex questions that don't go too in-depth of anything sex-related are fine. Basically, the questions that don't give the answerer any discomfort while trying to answer it. No one should ever mention anything personal on a sex question, and if they do, then that question should get removed since it most likely has the capability of provoking someone into saying things which should be left unsaid.

I came here from Ask.com.

Those explicit questions are blasted off the screen almost as soon as printed.

My face has turned RED a few times on here.

Seems like there would be plenty of sites for such question.

I can see a 13 year old ask his mom... " what does come down on mean".

Hopefully it will be banned.

That was the problem with Ask.   Gee I don't like this or, she said that , I'll flag it , I don't like his point of view, i'll flag it -
Grow up people and if you don't like what I say, move on.
The internet is not going to bend over to make everyone happy, there is a difference between not liking something and being rude. We all know the difference.

Here's the deal people-

When you see questions/ comments

Answers - ( that you don't like ) don't reply -

I'm happy this is not such a strict site -

If you want what you don't like removed- head back to ask -

Or simply don't respond.

We are all adults - and we can see when some kid is trolling... So don't answer .. Then the troll has no outlet

Your head is more then a hat rack -

Use it !
