explicit contents...

Do you guys think in an open forum, where the visitors are from different age groups, the explicit contents shall be banned? 🤔

I agree with RTH.

The reason I came up a 'bold' post was due the fact that this section in particular have always had members dealt with topics considered almost abhorrent by society (specifically Indian) in a sophisticated way. Although, I guess it was a bit too daring and I do apologize for it.

I really don't consider my post 'explicit' in content as they did not mean anything offensive to anybody in person. Everybody are entitled to them in real life. We fantasize within but fail to discuss in open. I do agree the amount of personal restraint associated with it. But, why not discuss them in a generic sense so that they serve as an awareness to ignorant visitors ?

However, it is pointless to let go of such topics merely because the forum belongs to people of all age groups considering their emotional aversions. Viewers discretion needs to be advised. And the debate forum is meant to toss aside all sorts of morally and ethically sensitive people.

I don't think you meant any harm or offense, but one part of being in any community is being sensitive to the majority consensus. The fact is that the community on India forums is more conservative. They are not morally or ethically sensitive, they were raised in a culture where certain lines are drawn and pushing these boundaries is disrespectful to cultural sensitivities.

To a certain extent, some perceptions and behaviors do need to be changed. However, you can't just come in and expect people to abandon the moral culture they hold onto in jiffy.

Personally, I'm a libertarian and against censorship, but at the same time I try to keep in mind what environment I am in. Sometimes I do offend and disrespect moral sensibilities unwittingly, and in some cases I probably come across as a heartless soulless beast, but I think if we make a conscious effort to understand and respect other people's moral sensitivities, they become more open to understand and respect why we perceive things differently and we can come to a common ground of compromise.

So next time you want to push the envelope on any forum, really think twice about who the general audience is, what culture they subscribe to and focus on finding that common ground of compromise rather than pushing the envelope only towards how you think it should be.

Then we don't have to worry about being explicit, 10 year olds are not supposed to be on IF. 😛 😆

chill man,nothing to apologize, my topic is generic too. I want to know if people are appreciating the "bold" stuff here. and what degree of "boldness" they are fine with.

"explicit" is generic, and if you say only images can make things explicit, there wouldn't be much market for Mills & Boons. What you do in bedroom shall remain in bedroom. there is a reason why it isn't allowed in parks or public places? that said, These kind of fantasies shall be avoid to force to 12/13 years. "Ignorance"? then we need a Kamasutra section in IF.. and no mods.

true that, and I strongly suggest to have viewer discretion for this forum then.
