It was mine too, but decided to answer respectfully and as if it is serious and will continue to do so. But for $18,000 at max it’s a lot of risk for little in return.

That’s good to hear @Spanky. Hopefully you’ve been doing lots of spanking, oops I mean dunkin’ and followed by drowning 
A post was merged into an existing topic: The Toy Box - Chit Chat
Ooohhh…what have I missed @Long-John-Silver and @Wood-Nymph ??
I’ve searched and found no results 
It’s currently the 16th topic listed under sex tips and talk.

Thanks @Wood-Nymph
I’ve just read the thread and it all sounds a bit “off” to me…
As you said, it could all go very wrong, especially with the guy being a work colleague.
I’m sure there will be a follow-up if it actually happens
But, each to their own. I am not their judge.

That’s the thing we never seem to hear many follow ups, especially if things go wrong. I assume it’s because of the embarrassment of admitting things didn’t turn out as great as everyone thought it was going to be.

I’ve just found the post and it seems like the sort of fantasy story you might stumble across on Reddit.
Especially as it is their first post… no “Hi” or “I’ve been reading the community for ages” etc
It is probably cut and paste from there, just has that vibe. I’m surprised they answered the comments…
@Stacy2 @Simon_101 This is something that has been brought up before:
Our stance was always to allow it as long as it wasn’t being used as a way to sneakily share details on the forum, eg. “check out my blog if you’d like to talk privately, wink wink nudge nudge”. We didn’t want to limit bloggers from sharing their blog entirely (obviously linking directly to specific blog posts that break the rules still isn’t permitted, eg. competitor promotions or erotica pieces).
We don’t allow contact details to be shared here due to previous issues happening, but bloggers were even bought up then!
@Long-John-Silver if you’ve found people with OF links in their bio’s please flag these, this is very much against the forum rules.
Thanks all

My first thought aswell but I don’t like calling people out because for all I know it could be true.
I tend to just ignore threads that I think are a load of lies and let other people make up their own mind.

I thought the same too. I thought it sounded something like one of those 90s raunchy Sharon Stone type films. Not that that’s a bad thing but… It obviously wasn’t real. X
Thanks for that, Brenna.
Can I mention something else as well… Personal opinion… I feel like the rules are a bit too restricted 
with the forum as regards sex discussion.
For example, this is the purpose of the forum according to the link on the main page: [quote=“Lovehoney_Brenna, post:1, topic:257623”]
This is a friendly place where adults can discuss all things sex and sex toys with like-minded people (without perv alarms going off).
[/quote]
So I take from that that we can discuss all things sex, and that includes masturbation, with other members. And to me that would mean graphic discussion about sex practices, fantasies, what people are doing to themselves and each other.
And yet I feel like when people are doing that, they’re being roasted for it. It’s ‘being erotic’, on a forum which is discussing sex. It will be impossible not to be sexually stimulated by some of it, even if it’s unintended by the poster. It’s just the subject matter.
Personally, I don’t have my contact details on here, I don’t sell books or myself or have any links to other websites. I don’t intend to hook up with anyone.
I do however live in a social and family group that is very religious and strict. I can’t talk about these things to anyone else, so being in a circle of naughty friends where I can discuss my dirty thoughts and show cheeky pictures in my underwear is the only way I can express this part of me, without repercussions.
So when I’m told off for discussing what happens to me in real life – not a mills and boon book, I feel almost as if i’m being repressed all over again. 
. On a sex forum, of all places. Just my thoughts. X

Talking in third and forth person has been my defence against those issues which I also felt when I joined the forum. @Hannahnim Big hugs

I don’t pretend to understand a lot of the UK and European laws that claim to be for child safety, other than its nothing to do with child safety. That was made very clear during the second submittal of the European bill that used it very cynically to force through something nobody wanted but were too scared to object to in case they were labelled paedo-enablers. ( the EU ( lobbied by Israel ) will soon have access all of our past, present and future messages, photos, emails etc. using AI to search for and prosecute anyone deemed to be sending illegal material - the definition of illegal being deliberately vague and subject to change ).
But that’s by the by. The forum is intimately linked to the LH shop. ie. the shop the company relies on for its existence. At the moment we are not being forced to provide biometric age verification to access the site presumably for .. law reasons. However if the site crosses the line into explicit erotica then I suspect that might change. I don’t know. I’m guessing. The line between acceptable or not seems to shift and become more politicised every day.
But I can imagine the devastating impact it would have if suddenly all their customers had to provide biometric data just to buy a cock ring or crotchless panties. The whole industry is walking a very fine line.

The subject will always pop up because it’s a grey area within the rules. We all know sneaky contact is being made between members off-site through the blogs and then via email, Discord, WhatsApp, etc.
Although I disagree with it being allowed @Lovehoney_Brenna, I do respect your decision on the whole situation

I of course agree with the way LH runs the forums and cannot ever repay the immense knowledge learned here, along with feeling camaraderie with like minded souls.
Nothing is perfect obviously but on the whole it is more or less fairly administered and the organisation has a difficult balance between corporate responsibility vs a fun and sexy place irrespective of the style of goods sold.
Taking on Hannah’s point though, sometimes it can feel a bit ‘stifled’ here in regards open descriptions of previous play or techniques. Although conversely I intensely dislike that profanity such as the F word and slang words for body parts is allowed.
Regarding direct messaging, I feel this could be permitted once a certain trust level is reached. Although they wouldn’t be moderated, any communications would be on file in case of allegations or unwanted attentions.
On the British Naturism forum we are allowed to DM each other (you can disable it yourself) but that has 8000 paid subscribers who all submit photo ID and home addresses, so somewhat different to here.

Once upon a time the rules weren’t so strict, but with how things have changed it makes LH forum unique and much better.
There is plenty of sex forums to let yourself go and be explicit, I was a member of many but this is the only one I visit now, actually it’s more of addiction lol

Very interesting, thanks for sharing.
I still find it bizarre though that a written account of someone’s sexual activities and fantasies is considered erotica and to be deleted, but a sexually charged picture of an almost naked person wearing nothing but a sex toy is considered acceptable. It just doesn’t add up.
Also the fact that this is a website selling sex toys, and yet it seems to be the posts where sex toys are described as being in use that seem to be penalised? And yet as someone who uses toys, I want to know how other people are using theirs… and happy to hear graphic detail. And I learn the most from those posts.
If it was just a straightforward ‘today, I had sex or masturbated’ it’s not much of an open discussion is it? X

likewise. You shouldn’t have to feel the need to resort to those means though to be able to have a discussion. It goes against the whole point of open discussion x
