Who thinks it childish to lock a thread on dæmons and masturbation? I mean, its a valid a topic as any, and Im honestly curious. We're all mature here arent we?

Yes we're mature......but some of us don't view it as openly as others do. Its a courtesy issue. I vote it was mature locking it up.  Not to mention that this site is viewed by people of ALL ages. And not all of them even know what masturbation IS, let alone WANT to know what it is. Its personal and private, and we need to be courteous to those of us who don't feel comfortable talking about this subject. |

I don't think it was childish. The forum has limits and the topic was innapropriate. Besides the fact that Okibi created this whole forum and it's her right to judge what she believes is a valid post or not. Personally, I found the topic immature (no offense). That's something that should be kept to oneself. To be quite honest, I was embarrassed that I even clicked on it by mistake. If I hadn't been ignorant, I would have been immediately disgusted.
I voted the same as Ali. It was mature for the topic to be locked up.

I honestly don't care. If Okibi decided it should be locked down then that's the way it shall be. I do however think this poll is rather childish!

Wow. I had no idea you all thought like that. I only posted out of curiosty. I wanted to know what people thought, I didnt want to embarass anyone.
Im surprised that some of you were disgusted. Its like being disgusted by sex or something. Why should the forum have limits? Why can't it cover everything on dæmons?
As for the poll being childish, that occured to me as I was making it,but Id rather be childish than just sit back and let the topic be locked , like some ashamed child who was said a naughty word.
Lastly , if you didnt feel comfortable talking about, you didnt have to post. Or you couldve posted about how you feel. Thats pretty much what I was asking for.

O.K. here's how I see it....I actually thought about the same thing (i.e. dæmons and masturbation) but I never even considered starting a thread on this topic because it is my experience that people in general want to avoid such topics (don't ask me why, they just do...well I do have a theory but since it would insult a great deal of people, I won't go into it here). I used to fight the whole ''We won't talk about this here!'' thing, but now I accepted that some people feel uncomfortable talking about things that I find perfectly normal, so I try to keep the more ''controversial'' topics out of public forums. But feel free to send me a Private Message if you wanna talk...I don't bite...much.  |

Sorry for what I said. I could have expressed myself in a different way-one that wasn't so harsh.

You could have simply PMed me to ask why I locked it if you wanted to know.. Calling the mod of this forum childish is not necessary. =/ Honestly, I consider masturbation to be sick, and I don't want something like that talked about on my forum. I want to keep the topics clean. This is my forum, and I'm afraid you have to abide by my rules while posting here. Like I said before, if anyone wants to discuss this so badly, they can easily PM each other. I just don't want people to come across my forum and see people expressing how they feel about masturbation... Keep it private, please.

But thats just it. I just wanted to know what you and your daemons felt on the topic ( i.e its sick) because its so...crass and dæmons are so..spiritual and I was wondering how they delt with the whole thing. Anyways I got some of my answer so I guess Im finished here, unless anyone else has something to add?
"Sorry for what I said. I could have expressed myself in a different way-one that wasn't so harsh. "
Don't worry about it. Id rather you said what you felt than tried to be nice to me. I dont get insulted easily

Yeah, masturbation isn't sick! It's not like some kind of sexual perversion, it's just a natural way of relieving sexual tension...but unlike sexual intercourse it does not involve love or interaction.

I'm kinda neutral here. I dont find masturbation sick, and Okibi does. Okibi seems to be quite religious, and I'm not. That's the way the world works, what makes us different.

Well, heres my perspective on the subject from (possibly) being the oldest member. Yes, a lot of us are technically "adults" in a sexual sense on this forum (beyond the age of consent and all that). However, some members are still quite young. (I don't mean to patronise anyone here) and some people have views, whether they be religious or personal which mean that they find the subject offensive. Plus we also have to think of all the people that aren't necessarily members but who may browse the site. These may be quite young children who loved the HDM books and have done a search for "daemon" on Google and found this site. Yes, there should be freedom of speech, but I do think that some topics are inappropriate for a public forum which children may view. Hope my rambling makes sense.  |

Its true, that on the off chance a younger child might find this thread. But, Im going to be honest here-I dont care. Its not my job to take care of them. They're going to find out one day.
As for keeping topics clean, I obviously didnt, and still dont ,see anything unclean about this matter.

wtf people?! lets get some perspective here.. she was simply asking a legitimate question.. not going out to offend anyone... if u dont wanna discuss the matter, then simply dont, dont shoot down her idea.... shes not trying to make u feel uncomfortable [frankly anyone who is mature enough to understand anything on this forum has to understand wat masterbation is so i dont think its innappropriate in the slightest] the fact that it was locked was EXTREMELY childish, and its true that is a personal and private thing, but for some.. others like to share personal and private emotions, and its not like masterbation is wrong... yea to some ppl it may seem wrong but thats to do with ur own moral values... it does not make the whole concept in correct....
