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.

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?

Additionally, I'm not certain why pegging should be considered an issue. Surely that is done with the permission of all those involved, and beyond that it is no business of anyone else what is going on. Sexual acts between consenting partners shouldn't be a point of public discussion, should it? If I like to be hung from a light fitting and spanked then I should be allowed to in the privacy of my own home, regardless on whether or not it offends the senses of others.

	I would like to think so, yes. I was surprised that rimming came up as an issue at one point- besides being a private matter, I did think that was fairly common, and not exactly considered 'weird' or anything. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	The point about the legal age is a good one, and not something that's going to be easily agreed on, I can imagine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It seems you were right, the debate is rather heated, isn't it? I apologise for stirring up such a fierce stream of contention, Mr. Tucker. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's not your fault, it was a fair question. The people here are just really keen to have their voice heard, no matter how fucking stupid they sound. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Whilst I'm certainly not one to point out the idiocy of others, there are many here who really need to take a good, long look in the mirror and re-evaluate their problems, as they seem to be defecting into other areas of their lives. Terrible lot of anger in some people. Very peculiar. (Reply to this) (Parent)
