Hi there, sorry to interrupt, but I'm hoping that some of you might be able to help me. In light of recent events, I'm looking for some volunteers to form a focus group to help give me a picture of the current public attitude of the island, and where you feel we stand on certain issues. You don't have to attend anything, you can simply respond through the net. Now, I don't want this to turn into a fight, the point is that it is an open platform to speak your mind, and we mustn't judge each other on this.

Unfortunately, I have no means to reimburse you for your time, but if you would like something like a kit kat or a cup of tea, you just let me know and I'll arrange it.

If you are interested in helping, you'll find my starting question beneath the filter. At this time, I am filtering the group to over 18s only due to the nature of this particular group, but that's not to say that I don't value your opinion, and I may require a wider demographic at some point in the future.

Thank you in advance for your participation.



Just to get things started, I'm interested in gauging the current attitudes towards sexual activity on the island. I'm aware that we are all from different time periods, and this is bound to have an impact.

What would you consider "too much" with regards to sexual activity?

Just to give you an example from past focus groups, some of the responses have included dogging, badgering, rimming and bear-baiting, to name a few. Where do you stand on these? Is there anything else you would consider unacceptable?

Thank you.

Edit.

Items raised during focus group-

  • We are currently in agreement that paedophilia is unacceptable. There is a need to discuss legal age limits.
  • Pegging has been raised as a potential issue.
  • Dogging and voyeurism raised concerns, as did public sex in general.
  • Bestiality may be considered too far.
  • Possibility of sex education on the island- perhaps raise this issue with the medical staff.

    It's none of my business what people do to each other sexually. It's none of anyone's business unless they're messing with your kid or something.

    Where's this going? If people think there's too much sex are we gonna have sex rationing?

    Yes, I hope we can all be in agreement that paedophilia is still unacceptable.

    It's not going anywhere at the moment, I'm just interested in understanding the general public consensus on such things.

    Unrelated, but you're a Jedi? Is that the one with peddle bin and the space hairdresser? Wasn't there a Jedi who fucked his sister?

    People need to make sure they understand actions with sex can have consequences you weren't thinking about at the time. Aside from that, none of our business what they do as long as they're both adults and its consensual sex.

    Interesting. Perhaps some of the doctors might like to chip in here, see if we can sort something out on that front. I imagine with people coming from all different eras, there might not be such a clear understanding. It would be wrong to assume everyone is fully aware, yes?

    Thank you for participating.

    I think that is a personal question that should be discussed with one's sexual partner (or partners). But generally speaking, anything that makes either party feel uncomfortable, whether in the context of quantity or quality, could be considered "too much."

    I think it's too much when either one of you is sore, achey, or chapped.

    And I personally don't care what anyone else thinks about my practices. I do them to please me and Daryl. And he's the only one I focus on before, during and after.

    My list is still a work in progress, but some things that I am personally not okay with are:

    Actively using glamour, compulsion, or any other form of supernatural and/or preternatural mind-control (whatever you want to call it) to attract or manipulate an unsuspecting partner.

    The use of drugs or alcohol to do the same.

    And peer pressure.

    I'd also prefer not to stumble upon anybody having sex or masturbating in public places, but that's just me. If you're looking for a list of favorite positions or something like that, I'm not going to be much help.

    There was a lot of progression in sexual liberation from when I was young through to when I died. It was staggering, in fact, to watch things change from the first decade of the century through to the seventies. From a time when I couldn't even hold hands with someone to a time when people indulged in drug fueled public sex. But I was an old man, then.

    Perhaps I am biased, but I feel as though as long as all concerned are consenting to the act then I do not see any harm in anything. Paedophilia is obviously not officially consensual by law, but do we have an agreed legal age?

    In my experience, most people love sex so I don't see why everyone's so uptight about it.

    Do I actually wanna see my friends and neighbors banging? No. Do I want to pretend that no one's doing it? No.

    Banning people from posting about sex on the network would be like trying to ban people talking about sex on Facebook. Eg. Impossible! Computers and phones have parental filters. If anyone's worried about what they might see, they can use them. Personally, I find it fascinating to see what everyone's chatting about, sex or not. Maybe I'm just nosy.

    As for pedophilia, what are we talking about here? Because, let's face it, it's only really the God Squad who wait until they're 18 or married any more. Y'all over in Britain seem to have got it right with making the age 16. I know I sure as hell was having sex by then and I'm pretty sure my boyfriends weren't "pedophiles". Fiddling with children = wrong. Two fifteen year olds hooking up = hormones. Just sayin'.

    Peter could tell you my opinion on sex in public but I guess I'll just say it anyway. Sex in public places is exciting! Although part of the fun is worrying if you're gonna get caught or not. If everyone was doing it in plain sight all the time, it would get boring. I say, as long as everyone's at least making an effort to keep it private, we're good from my point of view. Like I said to Peter, golf courses can actually be pretty private if you go at the right time of night.

    Bestiality is kinda a moot point for me. Does it count if I have sex with another werewolf when we're both in wolf form? Because, dude... male wolves get fucking randy sometimes, let me tell ya. Or are we just talking human on animal? In which case I would agree that it's overstepping the mark. I think the issue there, and in regards to most things really, is consent. I can't remember the last time I heard a dog saying, "Yes, please, take me, I'm yours."
