And this coming from you? We're not even talking about that. We're talking about the ability to discuss Fetishes, the ability to joke around sexually, and the ability to make innuendo. If this *was* about RP or Porn rules, I'd be for it, but it's not. The sex talk rule has never been about prohibiting innuendo. It's about people who legitimately feel uncomfortable when people are talking about sex in explicit detail. As I type this very comment, several chat members are talking about how they're watching a pornographic film revolving around incest together. If you don't believe me, you can look at the chat logs. Your point being? We do not need an insufferable rule to guard against this. Mods alone are enough to ensure the comfort of users (however few and noteworthy they are) who may or may not be as "okay" with such topics.

This law is unnecessary and it needs some reconsideration if not complete removal. Its existence is a sign enough that people don't nearly put enough trust into our experienced users. Though reputation isn't a very prominent factor (especially for this site), what are we saying about our self-confidence and dignity? This negative output may very well deter more potential users than sex talk ever will. I agree for the most part, but the problem is that moderators are not always present to prevent conversations from escalating to such a level. As for the rule being an indication that not enough trust is confided in the users of this wiki, that sounds an awful lot like pseudo psychology to me.
