I would like to request two lounge forums.
One that allows some naughtiness in moderation (and therefore age validation), and the regular one that's free for all but disallows obvious topics.

Am I crazy or what? :crazy:

2. Eh... free for all, regardless of age... apparently, some people under 18 hang out here.

3. Wasn't there something like that a couple of years ago?
Or a group that started an adults-only off-shoot of DU?

Obviously a dead elephant because I don't remember...

I remember it well.

It was called Liberals Unleashed.

17. Ah, memories...
The late night live chats were the best.

Of course it had good sides and bad sides.

I got to see the beautiful women from DU is various states of undress, but I also got to see hedges' junk... :D

Scarred for life, let me tell you...

:D

14. I'd like to amend that
I've been thinking for several months that it'd be nice if DU had a sexuality forum. Not a "sex" forum — nothing like a "playpen" or anything, but a forum for legitimate, adult discussions of human sexuality.

It'd require some way of verifying age, and I think it should be out of public view. And it'd need to be moderated by mature people.

I also understand why the admins wouldn't go for it.

27. I think that's a good idea.
We need to stop suppressing discussions of sexuality. Like suppression of any free speech, normally it churns underground until it explodes in hyperbole. We need to become more mature about the topic.

19. yep
a lounge and a 'salon'. I'd like to see more discussion of art and creativity in here...it seems so many of the eclectic types (which are my favorite people) have drifted away to greener pastures. :(

21. Sounds like fun... especially the live chat idea!
:think:
I think a lot of posters would enjoy a chatroom.
(You're not crazy!)

22. You'd get bored
If the rules were lifted, there'd be a rush of sex threads and then interest would die out. Posting titillating threads that push the rules is much more entertaining for most posters. There's been attempts to have separate forums for this purpose, but after a dozen or so naked pics are posted, they die out and disappear.

25. Sounds like a Kevin Nealon skit...
At first, people would be interested; then very interested. Then very, very interested. Then they would lose interest.

Next night, same thing: interested, very interested, verrry interested...then lost interest.
