Do you assume you're always answering an adult?

Question

Being someone who talks freely & openly about sex, I began to answer a recent Q, but stopped when I thought about the person asking the question. An obviously very young girl who COULD be 12 y.o asks for advice on how to give a handjob and readily receives it from what could be a 45 y.o man. They may be just inexperienced but I would assume that's because they are of a young age. A child can ask for tips on oral sex & be receiving them from anyone. Is it just me who thinks there's something a bit wrong with that? Sure, I OFTEN post adult content & kids may read it. That's up to the parents to police & a DIFFERENT MATTER ENTIRELY. It's the DIRECT answering of a childs question of this nature that i find pretty ordinary. I admit with the low level of spelling etc, it's hard to tell age, but I'm curious, do you ever think twice about the age of the person you are answering before you answer the question?

Johnny.. i LOVE a good insult.. a GOOD one. try again mate.

Nanny.. i don't see why this shouldn't be the place to share ANY expertise. I'm sure you share you cat feeding tips on here from time to time. Some of us find sex normal & don't have a problem discussing it, just not with children.

Answer 1

I often ask them just how old they are when I get "that feeling". Know just what you mean, honey.

And I too can be pretty direct in my answers. Thanks, tho for the reminder. We should all be more careful round here.

Answer 2

Time and again I have been stating in this fora that we are all living beings first and then only humans. Our civilization has made us grow to what we are today and due to this advanced development and curbs which we have placed on ourselves in the society make us forget that we are nothing much different from other animals. In olden days people used to get married as young as 5 years and above and these are known as child marriages. Why this happened because in those days there was no such sound buildings / rooms for privacy and the younger ones used to watch the sex performed by their elders and they also used to do the same. Hence they used to get them married quickly to avoid problems. Similarly the internet has once again opened the gates for the youngesters to know about sex very easily and noway we could stop them because we will never know who is chatting with us on the other side. Hence do bother too much about this and nature will take care of the same. If at all you specifically know that the other person is a child then simply avoid answering the question that all. All the best.

Answer 3

Well I'm 11 and whatever u actually say really doesn't do anything the kids that usually that are on this are not to immature and what u say about like oral sex and that it's not like really that bad for us thow and with the spelling theres spell check.

also for example u might not answer my questions if u know how old i am thow i could make more accounts so u cant stop kids from viewing some topics which are meant for adults it's just how modern society nothing is a secret u can just Google it here is a good example the other day i was viewing a topic here why cant u say the f word but u can say tea bagggging( spelled it wrong on purpose ) so i put it into Google and now i know what it is.

Answer 4

It's worrying isn't it, a 12 year old girl could be having sex with her stepdad and asking for advice, when really they should get help and stop their stepdad?
You could be so young, I am, and it's a really intelligent question.
I never think about the age of whoever's asking, unless they say it. All i think is "Wait, I'm gonna sound wwaayyy older than 13.."

Answer 5

absolutely most of the time you can tell although there are some adults who ask stupid questions but just as you decribed yes you could be help a 8 yr old engage in sexual or perverted activity thats why we as mature adult need to refrain from asking ridiculous sexual questions and portraying sexual content on the web for the sake of our teen and adolescent readers mind you it is the parents who overall need to be aware of what their child is watching yet as we ourselves need to be more descrete..... very good question i hope it gets you on the cover of the yahoo front page.

Answer 6

Yeah, I usually literally answer the questions anyway but address it in a way they have asked it.
Mostly I skip the dumb 1s, but I can't help getting the 2 points.
I'm usually truthful with my answers anyway.
If I know someone's too young, I answer them in a question & ask them how old they are. They should be asking their parents & not here.

Answer 7

VERY good question, because up to now I always assumed everyone is an adult here or at least in high school. This just made me think twice!

Answer 8

yes i agree. Being a forty year old man myself, i usually stay away from those kind of questions. I can usually tell by the way someone talks online how old they are, and i surely don't wish to speak about adult content like that to a minor. I wish there was some wat to police one from the other...any ideas?

Answer 9

Yes I think about it and can usually tell from spelling or wording of question or even just how naive the question is.
Anyway what is your technique for handjobs.

Answer 10

it's the internet first of all, they can get the information they want anywhere and I try not to answer a 12 year olds question but if their really good at spelling then how are you gonna know, your not gonna know and i've seen plenty of adults that can't spell either :) :) :)
