Can someone explain why there is no private chat
Hard to moderate, and easily abused. I think.

Forum FAQs
Lovehoney Chat - Where is it? Can we have it?
As above, we used to have a private chat system where members could talk to one another one-on-one. Sadly we were forced to remove this system as it was impossible for us to moderate conversations and protect our members.
Lovehoney has never been (and will never be) a place for arranging hookups, private cybersex, phone fun or flirting. There are plenty of other websites designed specifically for this purpose, and these sites have tools in place to protect their members properly.
Lovehoney is a place for open discussions about sex, and anything you say here should be able to be said publicly. If not, it’s probably breaking the rules and best said elsewhere! If you’re unsure of the do’s and don’ts of posting on the forum please check out the Forum Rules.
This is from the Forum FAQs. I hope it answers your question. 🙂 Here's the link to the rest of the FAQ thread in case you want to read more.

I took too long. Triple pipped. 🙂
Simple answer, it was a system which a lot of people took advantage of. They hassled other users and Lovehoney team members. As this is an open forum for people to discuss relationship & sex toy advice it’s better to just remove this. A lot of people seem to think a sex forum is a place to hook up and it really isn’t, most people would find that distasteful, especially as a lot of people are new to sex or in relationships.
Thank you fully understand why it was taken down
