When exactly did this turn into a chat room/sex tracker forum?

[orangecoloredapple]

just wondering. I thought it was supposed to be just a light hearted group of democrats having fun.

[ScreamingMeemie]

1. Tonight....I think....

but I'm not participating, I am just posting about barbaric children's toys.

[SOteric]

2. As with any group comprised mostly of adults

there will be phases in the discussion that are randier or bawdier than others. It's not necessarily a bad thing, and it rarely lasts very long.

3. talking about sex...

is light-hearted and fun. Plus it's hot outside and I bet most of us aren't wearing much in the way of clothes. That alwyas does it. :-)

Healthy sexuality is one of the many things that separates us from the Republicans.

7. The Lounge has always been like this

it's te nature of the beast

it cycles...it won't last long

[ForrestGump]

15. You're not wearing much in the way of clothes?

Hmmmm...... :D

Oh. Forgot myself for a minute there. I'd hate to develop a reputation for risqué behavior.

[VelmaD]

18. Damn right I'm not...

I'm in Austin and it's still nearly 100 degrees outside. I'm not putting on more clothes til I absolutely have to to go to work tomorrow.

4. What's more light-hearted than

sex talk?

It'd be out of place in the GD or LBN, so we keep it in the Lounge. These kinds of days happen from time to time.

And what's a sex tracker?

[orangecoloredapple]

6. I would like to keep it in the chat rooms where 15 year olds go

sex tracker is probably on your computer. Run a cookie manager and take a look.

9. you may find it shocking

but talking about sex is not a criminal offense. DU has a handy "ignore" function to be invoked when certain individuals' posts fail to meet your rigorous personal standards of decency. I suggest that if the occasional thread about kinky sex bugs you, you ignore me promptly. You'll miss out on my many other positive attributes, 'tis true, but you won't have to deal with "the sex" in an uncomfortable way, at least not because of me.

But I still don't have a clue what a sex tracker is...

[orangecoloredapple]

10. I don't find anything shocking

and have nothing against humorous posts about sex. I was just wondering why there were so many, and they seemed to belong somewhere else?

just my thoughts - nothing more!

download spybot and you'll find sex tracker. If not, ad aware will find it for you.

[Nevernose]

14. So?

Why should I bother downloading spybot/adaware and "discovering" that that stupid sex tracker cookie is on my machine? It makes no difference to me if someone else is spying on my computer use...sex tracker must be tracking a billion cookies or so by now, why single me out?

Wanna see my porno bookmarks? :evilgrin:

[orangecoloredapple]

16. why not?

well, maybe not, but it's a good idea. Not caring can be admirable sometimes.

[short bus president]

19. D'OH!

leave it to me to go and mouth off at someone who didn't, in fact, ask for a mouthing off at. My apologies for the snide outburst.

[orangecoloredapple]

20. what did ja say about dat mouth?

erg.

[shance]

5. I think it was around 5:16 PST

8. copies outnumber original threads here 3 to 1

I gave my virginity to a Yak in 4, 3, 2, ...

[roughsatori]

11. It's a phase, it comes (no pun intended) and goes

I am not at all shocked by the silly sex posts. But when they proliferate I am glad that it is mentioned, it helps bring back the balance.

[orangecoloredapple]

12. It's hard to balance unless one has read the Kama Sutra

ummmhmmmm.

balance - I hope so too

[roughsatori]

17. That is very funny

And they like to claim us prudes don't have a sense of humor.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

13. Yeah

I'm confused. To say the least.
