Steph,

When I presented my evidence in the form of unexpanded links, Booger referred to them as pointless. When I presented the same evidence, but limited to the particulars that were (and remain) the crux of the examples from the original references, his response was different. While it is clear that he remains unpersuaded by what the authors have to say, he did take the time to respond in kind. Changing how I presented what I had to say changed how he responded.

It is impossible to satisfy criticism both when I use links for my references and also when I do not.

It is true that Pixies Place still has many sexually oriented pictures, and I am only one of many who browse the erotic stories. That being said, in the Advice forum you may be surprised to find:

Lilith, in the Pixies Power thread is exploring “support in our efforts to change our lifestyle meaning things like habits (such as smoking or even financial spending), dietary changes, or exercise.” She also started the General Well Being thread, the focus of which is being healthier.

Lion started a thread concerning replacing the timing belt on his car. It is in a post to that thread that Booger expressed his opinion that if you look at the site as a whole that sex is only a small part of it.

wanderingsoul’s Those damn 'describe yourself' questions! is a thread where people posted suggestions on how to improve his profile on some personal sites - including web design.

LixyChick’s Softer Hands...Stronger Nails??? is about manicure.

Two recent threads focused on travel plan suggestions, several on particular physical ailments. I also think that is more appropriate to view some of the threads as relating to romance, rather than sex.

In the General Chat forum the ratio of sexual to non-sexual threads is even more heavily weighted towards the non-sexual. I’d go so far as to suggest that most of the threads there have a non-sexual focus. That could be interesting to determine, although it might be difficult to decide what exactly is a “sex thread”.

Most of the threads in the Games forum are not sexually oriented, although we often take advantage of the opportunities that become available.

Given what I’ve listed above, as to Pixies being a sex site; I’m sure you don’t mean to suggest that that limits the extent of our community, do you? I’m minded of something GingerV once wrote as part of a post “… That Pixies is a wonderful open sexual playground is great, but if it was nothing but naked folks I'd have moved on a long time since …”. I tend to agree with that position. I think that many other long term members do also.

You and I march to the beat of rather different drummers. While I find the personal posts you and PantyFanatic make about me a bit of a bother, there’s little I can do about them, and so I carry on as best I can. I do suspect that those posts are among the reasons that others here often fear having their personal ideas challenged and so don't speak up. All I can suggest is that you try to not let my different point of view upset you so much. In the same vein as BIBI’s response to someone’s complaint about finding a timing belt thread at Pixies, ”LMAO...why let it get your knickers in a knot?”.
