Obviously, Rob E. needs to cover his ass before the "Patriot Act" smut police come a calling. However, HOW DO YOU PROVE ANYONES AGE when they become a member? I think that banning teens throws the baby out with the bath water. Now, with the ban, teens have no reliable source for sex and relationship questions and problems.
Teens are not dumb (just often naive and misinformed). I'm pretty sure that the ones who really liked this site, will be back using their new fake ID. And I applaud that.
BANNING TEENAGERS IS A LOSS FOR EVERYONE.

edit.-I've changed my mind. The teens won't be back and half the adults will be volunteering to leave. It's really pathetic!

Jonb didn't like Kinkguy's butt shot, nor did I. I don't like some of the underwear shots, either....we have to be subjected to looking at them.

Watch it or I'm putting my ass back up...as an avatar you pervs!:biggrin1:

preppy, just what is your fixation with my hairy ass? :confused:

Chimes...cant agree.
Yes there are other fora to discuss teen sexuality but not support groups for those having or dealing with a Large Penis (LPSG) and it is here that younger developing teens get insight into issues they are facing and sort them out before they are made to feel self conscious and think they are freaks of nature.
I think a lot of really essential information is shared here.

That said I realize we need to protect the group from practices that could result in it being closed down. Let's consider both angles.

I'm open to any ideas, and I think we will eventually find something that works.

When I took over the admin of the forum there were threads with guys 13, 14 and 16 years old posting among photos of erect penises, and other members where talking about how they were masturbating to the young members. That is not support.

I have done, and will do, everything within reason to prevent children from viewing adult material.

BTW, I don't think a photo of a penis is considered porn. However, many of the photos here show erect penises and strong sexual content.

Anyway, the likely alternative for now is to make this place and adults only forum, and link to other teen oriented support sites, like:

http://www.teenwire.com/ http://www.teenhealthfx.com/answers/Sexuality/1025.html http://teenforums.student.com/ etc.

Let's keep the dialogue going, we'll find something that works.

As far as I understand the law, which might not be great, nudity is not porn but sexual contact is.

An effective way to cover our asses and yet keep our doors open to the minors that we all agree could use the support aspect is to restrict images of sexual contact to the gallery and post a page where one must agree by clicking that they are 18 years of age or more and therefore legal to view materials containing sexual content. I'd be happy to gank one from another site if you'd like so we could adjust it for use here.

I think the coversations here are usually far superior to the advice they might get from other sources.

Don't forget, team, that we often link to url's that a minor really shouldn't click on.

Do you propose that we post a warning with every embedded link and trust that no teens will peek?

*dramatically puts back of hand to forehead* Forsooth!

Any adult with a large penis was once a minor with a large penis. It seems counterproductive to exclude the sort of people which the group is meant to support. Assuming that the board title does indeed describe the purpose - reading some posts, I'm not at all sure.

But teens or no teens, it wouldn't hurt to clean up the avatars. Just because a guy is carrying a real log doesn't mean he can't have a little class too.

Yeah, I agree. I don't think info exchange should be limited in the way I said earlier.

As for the other fora, they all are for other perpouses, and LPSG just has something that they dont.

You can turn avatars off?
I think the cleaning up of the avatars is a very good idea. I don't want to see your log. If I did, I would venture into the gallery. There are plenty of good avatars outside of your dick. I had plenty! I still do.

Please Rob, I made some good friends here, and there are only a couple of years between us, and we are very much the same, but they got banned. Please consider what I wrote for rules, and what everyone else is posting for rules!!

I think we should make a formal list!

EVERYONE! WRITE DOWN/POST WHAT YOU THINK ARE GOOD RULES FOR MINORS!

The board can be accessed by anyone, even a lurker, without signing in, so a teen would be able to read the board and see avatars, so should nudity be prohibited there?

Montey has a great point with the above statement. Even if all minors (I hate to say teen since 18-19 are legal) were banned, there's no "You must be 18 to enter this site" link that keeps minors who are guests from seeing nudity in the avatars.

Personally, I think that not only porn should be banned, but nudity as well. Isn't it against the law for minors to view nudity period even if it isn't porn? Playboy isn't porn (there's no sexual acts nor penetration) but yet you must be 18 to buy it.

Part of me says that teens should be allowed to say...but perhaps raise the age to 15/16 and above for maturity sake. I'm just guessing that if a teen truly needs large penis support, that's about the time in their life that they are starting to have issues with it. Of course I realize that I could be wrong.

I also agree that they should be banned from the gallery. Is there a way to make a "group" of their own and keep that group banned from even the 5 free views a day from the gallery? Then once they hit 18, they could be moved into the Member (or Gold Member) group and have those viewing pleasures again.

I think that you should add a category to member and gold member: minor. That way, you can restrict all minors and not have to worry about their maturity. Then they *cannot* access what you ban, because those are the *forum* rules. Not just one that is just told. It is strictly and forcefully enforced.

so because this is all debate
a site that is devoted to the support and dare I say the celebration of the large penis and people won't be able to post it in their avatars....
what if a member is offended by homosexuality, should that be off on some separate link...
as someone who was a victim of sexual abuse at an early age by someone older than myself, I do have issues with the notion of older sexual predators...and I do have concern about that....
again, all in the spirit of debate.

My heart goes out to you Frat. Sincerely. No one, and I mean NO ONE is subject to sexual abuse. I'm glad to see you have moved on! :D:D *rock on!*

But still, I think teens should be allowed here. Ban the stupid trolls who are just taking up Bandwidth. But the ones who sincerelly want to be here, should be allowed to be here. I say get rid of the 0 post people who haven't had any activity in 3 years.

But you see norse, this is the point. Pornography isn't (well, yeah it is also) what is illegal. It is nudity that is illegal to minors. That is why (thank you whoever made this annaligy) minors cannot buy playboy. No sex going on, but there is nudity. That is why minors can't even look at soft core porn. Minors may not see nudity (except in themselves, changing, and locker rooms). I also don't like the nude avatars. I don't judge you by your penis, so why subject me to see it? But I identify who the post is by by the avatar, so I don't want to turn them off...

Lex, :biggrin1::biggrin1::biggrin1:

Believe me, I have NO fixation with your rear end, it repulses me when that is your avatar. I do enjoy seeing some of the fun avatars like Freddie's smiling pig, Dee's big poofy hair, and some of the cartoons, but why do I have to be subjected to things I don't want to look at. If I want to look at a butt, I can look in the mirror at my own. If I want to see a dick in underwear, I can look at my own. I know I can turn avatars off, but then the good ones are turned off, too.

I've kinda hung back on posting a reply on this topic until I had a better understanding of the issues, and after all I do have an avatar that might be considered "adult", although I think the image of an erect penis not engaged in a sexual act is not pornographic, but I digress.

From what I've been reading, I would have to point out that a site that tries to be all things to all people risks being nothing to no one.

I think teens with large dicks need a support network. I don't think this is or should be that network. Trying to censor ourselves and shield tender young minds from adult content seems to be contrary to the nature of the majority of the posts on this board.

Someone, preferably a professional with the appropriate credentials, should operate or sponsor such a site. Maybe someone already has. Don't know. Never looked.

This is a good point, and one that I think is core to the debate. This place should be about Large Penises, those who have them, those who want one, those who want one on someone else, those who just like to look at them, etc.

Mostly, this site should be an FUN place for adults to get together over a topic of common interest.

I don't want to spend my time here censoring others, and I don't think any future mods want to do this either.

I don't want to have to read a lot of disclaimers, and post in seperate forums, etc., and neither will minors. Thus, I'm afraid, it's either an adult forum or it's not.

I think there are other places that kids can go for support that are more suited for their needs. LPSG is as much about sex as it is anything else, in my opinion.

Anyway, enough for now. My $0.02

Yes, this is indeed the point. A "Large Penis Support Group" and folks are squeamish about seeing large penises ? Anything strike you as contrary about that ?

A Large Penis Support site where pictures of large penises and frank discussions about down and dirty issues of sex and sexuality are not accepted, is not the site I signed onto. Is this site appropriate for underage folks ? I think not.

Do younger folks need a site that is geared for their concerns, age, and level of maturity? Yup. This isn't and doesn't need to be that site.

No nude avatars.

Post your nude photos in the gallery. If someone wants to see it, They'll click over. Sometimes you're in the mood, sometimes you're not.

BTW, soon there will be a button that shows if someone has a gallery with a link to click to their photos, but I digress.
