Do you believe Yahoo should eliminate sex questions category?

Question

Unfortunately, most are from kids or pervs who ruin the category.

Answer 1

i think they should monitor it closely to make sure it is being used correctly or try to make sure children cant access it

Answer 2

No, what I do think should be done is this:

Take all the kids on here that can't form a complete sentance or who's parents won't let them stay up past 10:00 and not allow them to ruin the 'adult' categories for everyone else!

Seriously, I asked a very serious contraception question a while back, and some stupid kid who obviously has never had a sexual reltaionship in their life told me to use the 'pull out method'!!!!!

Answer 3

No, I don't think yahoo should eliminate sex questions. I like reading those silly questions and answers, but the serious ones are good, too. I just don't spend my time answering the stupid ones from those kids and pervs. It is annoying, though, I agree.

Answer 4

I dont think so... many people out there have questions and need help.. some might come in here and it really helps out but this place is for people to have a mature conversation and help out people... yes i do understand that kids and perverts are a problem when it comes to sexual questions but they can just be ignored we cannot stop talking about an important subject because of them.... there are worse places on the net and this should be an intellectual talk, to help people, or simply to come and learn not to be fooling around... so perverted kids STAY OUT!!!

Answer 5

It should be an adult only section that should be a sign-up with a password protected account. For others that ask sex questions (other than those with benign content), the questions should be removed. I have a 12-year old son who frequents the Internet and has come across Answers, and I don't want him exposed to this kind of content.

Answer 6

I agree that there are bratty little kids who ruin the threads - but as an internet user, you have to accept a certain degree of... immaturity, even from people who are in your age group.

The internet has the power of anonimity - this makes people feel powerful.

Do what I do - ignore them. Not everyone is a child inside.

Answer 7

No. Clearly many of the questions are junk and many fall into the " of no redeeming social value " category. The category should be kept so that individuals can get { hopefully } accurate answers about sexual matters that genuinely affect them. If this forum didn't exist where would they get them ?

Answer 8

I don't think they should be eliminated. I think some of the answers should be blocked. I feel bad for the children who come here to get their answers. It means there is no one at home they feel they can talk to. I just wish the people with the stupid or really wrong answers would stop.

Answer 9

Tough call. I wish there was a way to limit access to that section, but anyone can create a profile and claim any age they wish, so that doesn't work. I think that having it there is good for freedom of speech and what not, but I don't like how accessible it is for users under 18.

Answer 10

Nah. I think that they are funny as hell and there are a few who try and ruin it but you will have those types in every category. Just ignore them and move on.

Answer 11

No - everyone has a right to ask a question - and everyone who reads it can decide if they want to answer it or pick another question to answer. Also - you can just avoid going to this category.
