I've been on these Boards for a very long time, and I've seen just about everything, but this one takes the cake. No discussions in the past have come close to this.

This is EXTREMELY inappropriate discussion for these Boards. I am surprised, saddened and disappointed that the Board Monitor would acquiesce to it.

What a terrible shame that we have come to this!

I just read further down in the post, we do have a 12yr old here. I have seen other people ask her questions in a very kind and gentle way. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that a 12 year old is either trying to learn things about IBS, could be a very lonely child, needs to make friends and this has been a good place for her until now. The content of this post is very close to a pornogrphic nature and let me tell you, if My 10 yr old happened into a room to ask me a question and glanced at the content I was innocently reading....I would have to exlain to him that so many people have no morals and think it is fine to write down what ever pops into thier heads, to most people, I don't have to explain the rest. Personally, I have read and understood all of the sexual type of Ibs Questions people needed help with and had no problem reading them. This one is a little different. At this moment I am livid that Heather seems to think this is a question that needs to be answered.

Yes, I do understand that Ali is young, and 'mature'. I love young people, they have so much to add to this society and country. But, content of this nature should have been handled by a private email, sorry hon. I don't read pornography on a regular day, and I won't read it now.

I thought more of the board moderators, and Heather, I thought you should have explained this in a nice way to Ali that some long time posters might be upset about this. On a normal day I could have passed this by, but today is not normal for me to go to my favorite place on the boards to talk to friends and new people trying to help them understand thier bodies and how to get well, and find this. Totally innapropriate.

I am concerned for you Ali, because there are other things you could swallow from OS, std's are one of them.

Ali, you say you are very'mature'. Not all 12 year olds are allowed to surf the net and read anything that comes their way. I think it is our duty to see to it that young girls like this are not subjected to it by us. Yes, sex is an extremely open subject, one that I am so sick of hearing. I am sad to see all of the young women murdered by sickos who read thier postings on MYSPACE and other such places. There is a time and a place to talk about these things, I am much older than you and I can look back and see how the open nature of the '60's has changed our culture for the bad. I have no problem talking to my children about sex, or helping them get reading material or answering any questions they might need to ask. I am not a total stick in the mud, I have just seen so much pain and damage by people who think sex should just be out there everywhere.

This post content is not appropriate for these boards, so I am saying goodbye, it is ashame this place has not been protected!!!

I understand that some are offended by this post and others could care less and others found it educational.... however, I think had Alli not been attacked and instead asked "Nicely" to be careful of what she posted... this thread would NOT have ended up the way it did and people would not be mad and leaving WHICH I TRULY HOPE THAT NOBODY DOES... we may not all be adults, but we sure can try to understand each other, forgive and move on to the other questions that others might have and continue help each other.

I apologize to the long timers and the new comers and the young ones if they do not agree with how I personally handled this post (as a board moderator, however not of THIS one...but still)...I guess I'm just open about the subject of sex in general, but that is not a fault..rather just how I am. Again....I surely hope that NOBODY leaves over this.

{{hugs to all}}

Hi Alli,

I'm from the UK and it's 6.30 in the morning my end, and I haven't had breakfast yet!

I am absolutely GOBSMACKED at the reaction that your question has provoked on the boards!

I am actually really ~ but really ~ impressed that you should be responsible enough for your own health to ask this question!

I think that the response you've had from some readers suggests more about their attitude to sex, and that you should NOT be made to feel guilty or out of order in any way.

Personally I feel that any 12 year olds reading this message board should already know about oral sex, and all the ins and outs (!!) of indulging. Surely this is the only way that young people will learn to have safer sex ~ in all ways.

I am saddened that there has been such a negative response to your question. I think that you are much more enlightened than many elders!

You've obviously researched the content of semen, and I guess practice will tell you if it aggravates you.

Stay strong in the face of the reaction on this board ~ it's very refreshing to meet such an open mind.

Joanna

Hi Heather and Shell,

I'm posting before breakfast in the UK and am absolutely amazed at the response to Alli's very mature and valid question.

I think you have both done the right thing in allowing it to remain on the board, and I would have been angry if you had decided that it was 'too pornographic' to remain.

Oral sex isn't pornographic, and most 12 year olds will have heard about it I would have thought.

I think that it's an educational question, and has every right to be asked here. It has absolutely nothing to do with MORALS!!! Please, let's keep an open mind here!

Joanna

Valid question Alli.

Personally I have found it sets off my D almost instantaneously and always has done - even before I knew IBS existed.

I am aware that STDs can be obtained from oral sex, but we have both been tested and I am faithful to my current partner.
I believe that you are over-reacting immensely, and I don't want people to think I'm some sort of sex-maniac or anything because I asked a possibly offensive question. But I just feel that I'm so interested in learning how to heal myself -I feel as if I must know every detail/aspect regarding ibs, and what can affect it. I really think I've stumbled into something here. I'm beginning to think that it can hurt us, especially if your unstable. People should be aware of these things. We all share a common obstacle and we must all come together and try to figure this out. What affects ibs? Not just food. Sex, which can lead to stress, excitement ..I once heard about weather affecting ibs. We need to know these things. For God sakes, we need to know if the colour and texture of our stool is normal!! We need to know everything. I don't discuss ibs with anyone but the people of these boards, and I don't want to be alone to have to learn these things the hard way.
So, for future generations with ibs: Yes!! Maybe you should spit and not swallow. ...We're looking into it.
