Re: Merry Christmas - 2017
Yeah, so you all now go here and read the dead easy rules and know I will not pay for a new place if either of you mess up this sweet and very good deal we've got here. Well intentend as it may be.
Also, luckily this sweet deal also spares us the agony of watching the Shire try to sprout wisdom about um the birds and the bees. We've got the wholesome tales for that dammit!

Grats, Malick I'm kinda impressed, I'd have to be shitfaced to pull that off I think. Good luck to you!

Re: Merry Christmas - 2017
The pretending not to know about the forum rules joke got old about five years ago.
Re: Merry Christmas - 2017
Oh okay. Can we innocently assume kissing is not sexual?
And we won't repeat the joke about Petty's cat. Promise. No matter how much Norc bugs us.
(It was all innuendo anyway).

Re: Merry Christmas - 2017
Some thoughts about this term:
"Sexual and/or pornographic content"
Pornographic obviously has a clear meaning:
"constituting or resembling pornography"
and we can understand pornography as:
"the depiction of erotic behavior (as in pictures or writing) intended to cause sexual excitement "
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pornography
Now as a term, sexual, in a plain word reading, has considerably wider connotations, as can be seen in the following definitions:
"1 : of, relating to, or associated with sex or the sexes
sexual differentiation
sexual conflict
2 : having or involving sex
sexual reproduction"
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sexual
Now the first definition shows a multitude of things that are not "intended to cause sexual excitement" per se. I therefore belive we must go with the second understanding, read in context of the term "pornographic". It is mainly depictions, whatever form that depict sexual situations and the depiction aims to cause "sexual excitement". And that this is what the term is directed at. Now this must be understood broadly, as sexual exitement is not a consistent standard, apples and oranges if you will. Further, sexual writing, images etc can be used as much for shock value, or ridicule as for excitement, but I would argue it uses the same kind of material, just for a different purpose. The material rather than the purpose should be he defining feature.
In that context, it seems odd that innuendo should be covered by this term. It does not aim to sexually excite or shock, rather to amuse. And, fundamentally, it is not sexual or pornographic in itself. Futher, I do not think the picture posted by norc on the last page can be covered, as it is not exactly meant to sexually excite, but rather to educate.
Spouting wisdom about the birds and the bees would then be allowed, as such descriptions does not have the aim to sexually excite.

Re: Merry Christmas - 2017
Well Blue, I don't know how the hosts would handle the clitoris. We don't have that kind of relationship. The members here expect to be treated as adults, and adults know that rules excist in all areas of life, and that there are consequenses for breaking them. It's against the social rules here to mention rules, so people will (edit: may) feel justified at making any sort of responce as a reply.

Re: Merry Christmas - 2017
Perhaps they might have learned smth too
My point was not to criticize, nor to attempt to say how things should be, just to provide a perspective.

I had you down for either "Oooooo, interesting, this is worth investigating!" or "let's see how many times I can say 'sexual' before I get in trouble"
