Not trying to create a struggle sesh, just want to facilitate a discussion on the matter: Is sexual content of any kind okay, or not okay, here?

I'm using an alt to avoid potential retaliation, but have been a user for over a year, and it's just that the stance on sexual content/jokes seems to fluctuate alot. One week some sexual discussion/jokes are okay, the other there's seemingly zero tolerance.

I get not wanting full-on porn posts or unironic :awooga:-ing or stuff like that, but I feel like there's some nuance before it gets to those extreme points.

Sex is cool, good, funny and a huge part of life for most people imo, and I think as long as it's not porn or sexist ogling, there should be some wiggle room before something gets removed.

    I think we're sex positive in that nobody would look down on you for being in a polycule or something like that - but the volcel thing exists for a very good reason, which is that being horny is heavily correlated with being creepy and this site wants to be a safe space from that. Discussions of sex work have also had a tendency to turn into struggle sessions because we have pretty diverse and strongly held beliefs on that topic.

      I was going to write a comment, but you basically said what I'd say. We're a sex positive site, but this just isn't a place for horny posting (not to mention there are minors on this site as well)

        there are minors on this site as well

        I'm not sure we can police that. Additionally there's the fact that A LOT of non-sexual content on the site is also not really appropriate for anyone under 15 or so but there's not a lot we can really do about it without very significant downsides that would be harmful to the site overall.

        This is not a comment advocating for more porn or horny posting, just a thought on their presence here being very hard to do anything about.

          It's an issue with the internet and I guess maybe even transhumanism as a whole? Everybody of all ages becoming drastically more online over the past two years probably hasn't helped. It has got to be a very confusing time to be young.

          Again, we should post some sort of legal notice saying that this site is for adults only

      being horny is heavily correlated with being creepy

      I don't think that's necessarily true, most people get horny and aren't creeps about it. It's stuff like op mentioned where it becomes a problem.
