It has long been the policy that serious discussions of sexual issues are an essential part of our recovery from being involved with the JWs. As JWs normal healthy sexuality was taboo. The GB states they have every right to know what goes on in the marital bed and anything else if forbidden.
Once we leave the repressed teachings of the WTS most of us quickly realized there was a serious problem with the way sexuality was dealt with in the pages of WT literature.
The board has, on many occasions been able to have serious and informative discussions about sex.
What Simon and the rest of us want is to allow the freedom for people to ask their questions and get some good feedback from other posters.
What is not allowed is the circus atmosphere that seems to attract posters who want to stretch the boundaries of what is helpful and informative. There are other sites that are more than willing to cater to the interests of those who think boundaries should not exist.
The link at the top of the page that says Terms of use that you were supposed to read when you were registering states the following:

Turning a thread that might be a serious topic into a fun and sex game thread will be moved off the board.
The Posting Guidelins below every posting box states:
- Annoying the forum owner
If you have a query or a complaint then send a personal message or email. This is my site and I can say or do what I want and don't need lectures from anyone who doesn't like it. If you don't like this then don't use the site.
We all know the trolls will ignore the rules. And there are a few posters that will try to stretch the rules.
But there are many others who want and need a safe place to be as they continue on their journey out of the WT.
Thank you for the PMs and the threads that can let us know there is a problem on the board. We can't be here all the time. But a heads up makes our jobs a lot easier.
