Title: It's not about sex people, it's about gender
Post by: Susan on June 07, 2009, 09:07:29 PM
There have been an increasing number of prurient posts in the last month or so. I think it's time to tone it down. I want to remind everyone that this site is an open support area and is not generally sexually oriented. It's time to remember that before making posts in the future. Moderators will begin to remove new threads that are posted that are excessively sex related or are intended to titillate. This is not a fetish site, if that's why you are here perhaps this isn't the right site for you.
