Poll: is it really necessary to know so much about other fruheads' sex lives?

just curious.

*loves you for reading my thoughts*��� :)

*loves you for having your thoughts*

erm, yes.

thank you.

*facepalm*

here, here.

*hides emilie and all others who need hiding*

u dont hav sex bc ur a lazbean

it is true. i have pruff.

I'm surprised to see so few 'yes' answers. I guess it's just that the people who are most obsessed with knowing every aspect of every fruhead's sex life are just more vocal about it and make a lot more polls and such.

I honestly don't mind the idea of polling about such things, but the problem is that they general end up in WTMI discussions and things we really really don't need to know. (although a lot of times, the existence of a poll or forum is a reflection of the position of the poster, or can at least be assumed to be)

while i may quip the occasional innuendo, it's normally not about my own sex life :P

on a completely different note, OMG U ALWAYS RITE ABOUT HUMPHING UR LEZBEANS WITH UR DILDOE IN THERE CLINTS SO STFU.

well, yeah, exactly. I can't, by any means, claim to not have my mind in the gutter occasionally periodically often all the freaking time, but I'm still not going to talk about my own experiences quite that openly.

What's the problem? If you aren't interested no one is making you read anything.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I mean, it's not like the subject line is ambiguous. Clicking on sex will undoubtedly bring you discussion of sex, and you have to figure some specifics might be brought up.

then again, kris put "sex" in quotes and said we could define it "however we wish." i think that's pretty ambiguous right there, regardless of the subject line. :)

I consider it private information, but others don't and want to talk about it. I don't mind being asked about my sex life, but I will usually politely decline to answer, and if it goes beyond that then I get annoyed because it is rude. If you want to share details on your sex life great, if you don't, great. If you don't want to hear about other people's sex life, don't click on the poll/forum. :)

word.

i think you're missing my point here.

the point is not, "oh emmm geeee, the fruhedz are forcing me to reed about sex becuz i dont noe how to uze a mouse!"

the point is, i don't get why some people on this site feel it necessary to share all the details of their sex lives and know all the details of everyone else's, too.

i don't know, i don't really get it either. but.

why do some people feel it neccessary to bring inside jokes into the site?

why do some people ask for homework help?

why do some people feel it neccessary to spam the wall with cutsey flirting? ick.

why do some people feel it neccessary to talk about their mental imbalances and ask all the details about everyone else's, compare medication or so on? that's pretty personal too.

fhdc is now a pretty topicless community. *shrug*

Oh. All this stuff is happening here? I'm feeling as if I were living under a rock... Perhaps I should check the wall more often. Or not.

It seems high time to send all the TMI stuff on a hiatus :D

well, wall, quizzes, polls, forums.

but yah, all that stuff has happened/been discussed here, at some time or another, and probably will again.

:D

sometimes i really don't understand it though.

::shrug::

I take it all as part and parcel of the whole "community" ideal. It makes some of us feel less alone to know that someone else here is also on Damnitol� or a chronic masturbator or is saving himself for marriage (and Christ knows *that* could be a long wait for me).

Besides, there are some people for whom there *is* no TMI, at least for me.

ooh, fun. then the polls about virginity loss can start a tv show, the polls about masturbation can join a celtic rock band, the polls about how often people have sex can record a pleasant country-folk cd, and the posts filled with tmi can give educational concerts in public schools.

o.O
*bwah*

i'm so glad that that masturbation joined a celtic rock band, and that it didn't start a tv show. because while that pairing makes much more sense (in my head) no one wants to think about.

ewwwwww. greasy.

*dies*

*cracks up*

awwwwwww.

In a weird way this might be somewhat related.

The expression wtf comes to mind...

*runs away where nobody can find him*

That show looks interesting

::WURZSHIPZ GOOVIE::::

There is not such thing as TMI. If all you guys talked about was what kind of music you liked, I doubt I'd ever visit!
Muahahahahahah!

AMEN!

Come on... we ALL have subjects we talk about that annoy the fuck out of other people in the community... .

That's just... kinda the way it works.

I'm sure *I* talk about things some of you find obnoxious.. and I *know* that many of you talk about things that I constantly roll my eyes at.

The fact of the matter is, we all clearly have a common ground, or we wouldn't be here.... so.. hey... live and let live, eh?

that's right.

and i almost forgot.

why do some people start food fights on the wall requiring the throwing of pasta salad and potato salad?

i mean really. ;-)







*throws potato salad at nate* *runs away*

I know, right????

Fuckin weirdos.


*coughs*

*throws potato salad*

hmm. renita, what was that about inside jokes again? :D

I think that was kinda that point.

;)

yes, hence the smiley face.

*innocent*

actually, sorry if you thought that was a personal remark--it wasn't meant to be. lord knows we ALL do it. you've done it, i've done it, jaci's done it, george's done it. and now i have that dumb ass song in my head... .oO let's do it, let's fall in love Oo.

it was more just, random commentary on stuff that goes on here that doesn't appeal to everyone :)

*hug*

Because we are a bunch of incestuous voyeurs who love nothing more than gossiping about each other. I mean that in a good way, but it IS and always has been true.

dude. aj, you're totally right. i withdraw the question. :)

most of the sex talk I see around here seems to be without the knowledge or consent of the poster's partner.

maybe I'm wrong, but I think talking publicly about that without the other person knowing is a breach of all kinds of confidences.

Oh yah? Well I hear you are lousy in bed...

Two words just came into my mind when I read your response to Leah:� ass. hole.

Isn't that one word?

:hides:

> Isn't that one word? :hides:

�Well yeah.� But it sounded like two in my brain:� ass. hole. vs. asshole

Oh yah? Well I have two words for you then: Humor impaired.

I'm not humor impaired, I just thought it was an insensitive and inappropriate response to a serious statement of belief.

Okay, two more words: lighten up.

heh.
agreed.

:)

> Oh yah? Well I hear you are lousy in bed...

You are just saying that because she saw how small your penis is.

The only reason I made a poll about sex was because it seemed like no one was communicating a whole lot. I figured sex would elicit conversation. It worked.

Ok, we've got sex, had politics, all that's left is religion and we've got the trio of verboten subjects at dinner...� :-)

My republican christ can fuck better than YOUR republican christ!!!

you have a republican christ, too??

Don't we all talk about things we enjoy or wish we had?

valid point...

I mean, there have been plenty of "what would your super power be" type polls

:D

If you don't care to read about it, then don't read it. Some people are interested in sex matters, and some like to talk about it. if you aren't one of these people, skip to a thread you care about. That's what i do with threads i don't give a damn about!
problem solved.

*hugs*

I agree, I wonder why so many people are quick to jump on something like this and start an anti-said-topic post.� Is there a rule list that a whole bunch of us our missing about what can and can't be a topic on fhdc without being flamed, or in this case just ever so slightly singed?
Like what was said in the last post, if you don't like it on such a level that you feel the need to open a new forum talking about another forum, why not just stop reading it? When you respond with a forum like this it does hurt a bit, the person that posted the original forum.
*Not that I feel you don't have every right to your opinion, I just wonder why it can't be posted on the original forum.

i find it interesting that people who didn't create the sex forum are taking this so personally and feeling so injured, while the person who *did* create the forum reacted to this one by posting a nice, calm, rational response above.

No, but im one of the "creepy voyeurs" with a "tragically unfulfilling life" who created a sex poll.�� I'm actually not really feeling injured, just annoyed.� WHy do people create problems, there's enough real ones already.

erm, those were tongue-in-cheek. people around here tend to have self-deprecating senses of humor (hell, two people even voted for the "ugly" option.) i thought those would be more fun than "yes" and "no."

anyway, if you don't like this forum, why are you reading it? isn't that the advice you gave me just a few posts up?

anyway, if you don't like this forum, why are you reading it? isn't that the advice you gave me just a few posts up?

�meh, not you personally, just in general!

I don't feel injured.� I just wonder what the point in this forum is, what the need was in creating a forum to talk about another forum.

My impression is that the only real reason for the separation was the desire by the starter of this thread to create a new poll.

If I am in error, please correct me.

-- Pauley

pauley's pretty much right.

and if you want to complain about extraneous threads, this seems to be an odd one to pick on. for example, we have two forums about LUSH opening in new york city, because the person who started the second thread didn't feel like searching for the first one. i'm not even going to count how many individual threads we have for each frucon ("frucon vii! three months, two weeks, and two day from now!", "frucon vii! three months, two weeks, and one day from now!"), or for "help! how do i use bittorrents!", or threads that would be much more appropriate as personal blog posts. which. is par for the course when forums are unmoderated. but that's another subject entirely.

lol.�� I wasn't complaining.� I'm going to go ahead and drop it because it's really not that important to me.� I was just posting my thoughts and a question. /me shuts up

and i was just posting my thoughts and an answer. :)

honestly, the anal-retentive loser in me really wants to spend a day playing "forum cleanup" and consolidating and streamlining everything. *is lame*

fair enough.

Ooh.. I understand the anal-retentiveness.� I (if anyone hasn't noticed yet) can get very anal about... well.. everything.

I can't use the words sex and life in the same sentence really seeinga s I really have none. But you know, asexuality is starting to become chic, so meh...

It's interesting, really: No matter the topic, there is always someone offended.

This makes me happy, to be honest. It's a relief to know that not EVERY single person on fhdc things EXACTLY the same way.

Share your thoughts. Speak your mind. And be happy that we can do this here. *shrug*

hehe, why do i suddenly have the urge to sing God Bless America...

hehehe :)

*ahem*�

To your heart's content.� ;)

I just knew I wasn't going to be the only one using that answer. I love this place.
