Filtered from anyone under the age of 14
So, okay, I wasn't going to get on a soap box about this whole sex thing, but I want to put my two cents out too.

I did the same exact thing while we were on Thomas. Do I regret doing it? No. Not at all. I didn't filter it from any kids, but the only kid we had on board was Matt, and he probably knew more about sex than I do. When he was 13.

I don't regret it even if it did put a bit of a stigma on me. Because I met the love of my life. And Daryl is the best man I have ever met. And it was supposed to be a one night stand. I was trolling for sex, on a train that was much smaller than this island is. That had fewer people on it, at the time, than this island does.

I guess what I'm asking is, give them a break. Who knows if they'll meet the person they will love for a lifetime, or just have one really good night of much needed sex. Or a night of really bad shower all night Because I've become a bit of a sap, I'd hope for the love for a lifetime. Especially for Samir Everybody deserves to feel that loved.

Who here is holy enough to point fingers and throw stones? Even if you think you are, because you think you are, you really aren't. If you don't like reading people's adverts about sex... Avert your eyes. Don't want your kids reading it? These computers aren't dinosaurs, put up the parental blocks. That's what they're there for.

Now I'm off my sex soapbox. Throw stones if you must, I've got a pretty thick hide, but I'll warn you, my claws and tongue are a lot sharper than any stones you can throw.

Um, okay. I don't care what people do with their sex lives?

Neither do I, but I'm not going to knock how someone scratches their itches either. I'm not going to threaten them because they put up something I didn't want to read. I'm just going to ignore it.

Though I do... Try to watch out for a friend of mine.

And I agree with you. I don't care.

But I'm 28. And kids shouldn't necessarily be reading that? But if the filters are reliable, I don't see the problem.

I did the same thing on the boat. I regretted it. I gave myself away with no meaning, not to the love of my life. I didn't find him that way. I don't think either of our experiences can guide this as they conflict.

I would suggest filtering from children if these things are going to be done.

I am not pointing fingers but my experience with this wasn't good and I will say that I expect it is opening yourself to being taken advantage of and, perhaps, regret.

Dating is opening yourself to being taken advantage of.

And of finding regret.

I don't think picking someone up in a pub is necessarily any safer than propositioning people over the internet. Neither of them are my way, but...you know, live and let live.

Yes but it also allows getting to know someone before you decide to take that step, as I later did.

It is easier to read people face to face. I assume you find each other easier to read than I do and I am proficient now.

I didn't regret it at all, I knew what I was getting myself into.

But yeah, filtering from kids isn't a bad idea, no matter how it's done.

That's what a one nighter is about. Until you get kissed in a way that just makes your toes curl. In a good way.

What happened between you and Q is between two consenting adults that happened to happen over the internet.

Is that right?

He is my friend. My words to him were personal. Beyond the issue of filters I don't understand the point of this post.

I have no interest in judging him. I don't know who is but I would counsel them not to.

My only comment to the earlier thread was that I'd never needed the Internet to look for sex, though again for most of my adult life the Internet no longer existed.

I'm not trying to throw any stones, a one night stand was how I got in this condition so it isn't like I have any right to judge.

I know I'm not holy, and I don't pretend to be. I am, however, dealing with post-traumatic stress from being assaulted by some asshole who took a shine to me over a network just like this one. And no, I was not trolling for sex. You might have met the love of your life, but he could have just as easily turned out to be your worst nightmare.

So this is me asking as nicely as I possibly can, please, get off your fucking soapboxes and have a little sensitivity. You're all making it very hard to ignore.

I sure as hell didn't do it without knowing what I was getting myself into. And without knowing I could hold my own against come what may. Trolling nightclubs can just as easily turn out that bad, if not worse, quicker than doing it when you're not face to face.

Look, I'm sorry you were attacked but that doesn't excuse you threatening people. Ever hear two wrongs don't make a right? And I, along with a few other people I'm sure, didn't even fucking know you existed until you started in on them.

It isn't like they came up to you and forced you to read what they had to write. The way you acted after you did is like... It's as if you opened up Fifty Shades of Grey, read it knowing full well what was on the pages, and decided to bitch about what you just read. The parental features I mentioned? They work for real well adults that don't want to read about certain subjects too.

And having been attacked myself, I can tell you ignoring it is not the best road to go. It just makes it ten times worse in the end.
