I guess for some the idea that discussing things such as the more, i guess one would say, pervier aspects of sex might put their chances of successful meeting at a disadvantage.
Take for instance the fact that someone mentions that they like Watersports, OK its not everyones cup of tea but no matter how that person might insist that its not a necessity just something that they like to indulge in if, they find others like that sort of thing too, others will look and think eeurrrggghhhh that so & so likes playing with piss not meeting him. So rather than disadvantage themselves in the possibilities of a shag they dont post their more avante garde personal foibles. Does that make sens? It does to me.
You could say the same about guys who are Bi-sexual who dont admit it for fear that couples may not be interested because the male of the couple might feel uncomfortable with the idea in his head that a bi-guy might think too himself during sex with the fem o thats a nice looking cock I think i'll have a big old suck. I know he's straight but he'll not mind. after all I reckon i can deepthroat better than his Mrs.
Of course there are the exceptions and I secretly admire their upfrontedness. People may ask for honesty in their swinging and many give that honesty but an awful lot goes unvolunteered unless asked for.
I'll let you know my really pervy fantasy if you'd like if not dont read on...
I'd like to get chilled coffee in a jug and with a fem i'm keen on ask her to lie on back on a chair with her legs as far back to her chest as she possible can and then with a small funnel placed gently into her pussy i'd like to tip chilled coffee into her and once full then i'd like to lie beveath her as th she puts her legs down and leans forward so tipping the cooled coffee straight from her pussy into my mouth. Now thats fantasy!!
I think it may have to do with privacy.
That stands out in my memory as being one of the best threads I've ever read on here. :thumbup:
Hmmm. Having just re-read this thread before posting, I do think that Lost and Splendid are pretty much spot on, loosely summarised as: You may not want everyone to know all your darkest desires and most obscure proclivities in case it puts them off wanting to meet you even for a straight forward shag.
KaznKev also mentions the friendliness of the Forum. There are people we have met on here who we have never 'played' with but they have become some of our very closest friends. That's wonderful, but I do sometimes think "ohhh, I am not sure what so-and-so would think of that." Frankly, I should have more faith in them as true friends (especially if we met through a forum such as this) wouldn't be so fickle.
Personally, I hadn't noticed that sexually related threads died particularly quickly. I look at threads whose topics interest me - and I am certainly not put off by overtly sexual ones. I try to avoid posting if I am not adding anything new - unless I particularly want my opinion on the topic to be known because I think it will help people understand me better. I never think badly of someone if they're into something that I am not. Sometimes I can get quite turned on, other times I think "Hmm, interesting but I don't think it's for me." I do suspect that SOME are more judgemental.
Lastly, I do think that one of the strengths of this forum has always been that it is not ONLY sexually related. Over the years there have been some great threads - some about sex and many that were not at all.

PS Sometimes, it only takes a slight alteration for a fantasy to change from mildly interesting to really hot. As an example, I read Lost's fantasy and thought - "OK, that's cool, but I am not sure that's me." Then I read Missy's take on it and thought "Phwoaaarrr. Hell yes!". Mind you I think I would replace the coffee with Champagne.
