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.

	What kind of adverts? Well yeah. Like this... there's nothing special about hooking up with a stranger. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The ones where they... want random strangers... The ones that everyone seems to be cowing over at the moment. Under usual circumstances no there isn't. But usually people don't fish for their first time. They do it to fill... avoid... That's not meant to be a pun. Does it bother you if I'm blunt? Because trying to be censoring about this is really hard. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What about them? Why should I get to see them? They're not gonna be looking for me. Or Tilly. Or Ben. It's kinda sad. No. I guess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Who's Ben? I meant, should they be filtered away from anyone under 16? 17? 18? Cause I'm gonna stick my neck out there and say hey, please filter, and there's parental controls blah blah blah. And wait for the ax to swing and get called a hypocrite.

It can be. But in some cases it turns out to be something not so sad. For those of us in denial that we want something that's not so sad.

Thank you! You're a life saver.

	Ben's Elizabeth's son. He's ten. And 18 I guess for that kinda thing. I mean what's the need for us to see it? If you filter that stuff here too you won't be a hypocrite. I think you have to be pretty desperate to do it and not really have any other options and that's kinda sad. I am? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You wont catch me advertising for sex. Gushing about my boyfriend, maybe. Being a nerd over how pretty the baby he helped make is, definitely. But I don't need, nor want, to advertise.

Or, you know, you could think you were dying... Or gonna die soon. But I guess that could fall under the desperate category.

Yep, it's hard to be all, sugar coat-y with things. I like to speak my mind.

	Oh no. I didn't mean you doing that. I mean it doesn't matter if you did it somewhere else. Yeah but I don't think that comes up much. I don't think that's what happened here. Me too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You don't think it would? I mean I knew Matt was on board, and I didn't filter it. No, I'm pretty sure people just had itches that needed to be scratched. Good, you know you can with me, right? (Reply to this) (Parent)
