I honestly don't think you should apologize. I'll agree with a few ppl that some of the topics were a bit much for MY taste but I very well understand the point of the thread was to share fun and sexual experiences and I actually enjoyed quite a bit of the content. I also think a few of us learned a few things lol.
It's not everyone's cup of tea and A14 moms who didn't feel comfortable reading and participating, didn't. I think we're all old enough to know what we wanna share or don't. What I think is silly is that the bj thread was put in another forum to bash. Like, seriously? I certainly will not justify myself to anyone nor apologize. We did nothing wrong. A14 moms are a versatile bunch and that's what makes us awesome!

I didn't think there was anything wrong either. Yeah, a few of us may be a bit more freaky than I am but my other BMB has had similar discussions and we've never been bashed.
I'm inclined to believe June is just jealous or bored.

Seriously, I was worried that you were leaving us. I would miss you! I think you're awesome and I am super sorry about your friend. You spiced up A14! I see nothing wrong with what was said because it was in a designated place. It's not like you were over on baby names talking about butt plugs I don't feel like an apology was needed. I'm not ashamed to be apart of A14, hell at least we aren't known for being a hot mess of drama!
@scarfbandit i don't think the thread per say was bad or wrong in any way, I think that some ladies are a little tired of how much sex is discussed on this BMB. It's not a huge deal and maybe if the thread was more spread out or came at a different time then it may have been perceived better.
I don't think you need to apologize! I ain't mad I was simply saying the thread doesn't represent all of the A14 ladies. It may not be my cup of tea but thats ok. I admit I had no problem with it and while I didn't participate I did read some until it got a little too wild for my liking. We're all adults and if that's something you want to share go right ahead. I chose not to, that's all. No harm no foul
@scarfbandit I went and read the June thread. It's actually quite silly. Here's my take. A) ppl have opinions, like air, there is an abundance ppl on this board can choose to participate or choose not to. We are all adults C) don't be ashamed for being a sexual being. Being sexual is being alive. Some of the June comments " wait until they are so big they don't want sex anymore" umm I hope those women know that towards the end, sex can actually bring on labor!
Anywho, this thread was far less offensive than the "I don't like ppl who use science to get pregnant" post.
Sorry to hear about your friend. I lost a hs classmate of mine to ALS last week, and we weren't even that close, but it was extremely sad. Hang in there!
Fact of the matter is, the thread title left nothing to the imagination about what it could be about. If they felt it was offensive then they didn't need to open it. I didn't post, not because I was offended, but because I'm boring.
I'm so late to the party. First of all @scarfbandit you shouldn't let what June has to say bother you. No one in this forum flamed the thread. If it was THAT bad it would have been flamed here first. June seemed surprised but whatever. It didn't float their boat. I have no shame in what I posted. One no one knows who I am even with a picture posted of DH and I. And unless you know how to track IP addresses no one here will ever know who I am. Pretty much all the stories told were from the past. Hold your chin up. I loved the thread bc i find it fun talking about my good ol days and my friends are too prude to talk to about those things. Andplusalso, my husband knows all those stories already. We still love you! !
I also don't think you should apologize. We're adults and can choose to read or not read as we please. I enjoyed the thread and you should post more if you want to. NBD.
Don't apologize @scarfbandit the thread was clearly labeled and we are all adults here. I think it is a little bit much for another BMB to come over and then make a thread on their board that is critical, but seriously don't sweat it. You don't need to hide for us because we love you. I am very sorry to hear about your friend. You get creepy internet hugs from me (((hugs)))

I see your new avatar...looks great. Glad you are feeling better - you don't have anything to apologize for or feel bad about. A14 gals love having you in the group!
Huh? I have been a bit busy and missed the bashing I guess. I am sorry you feel the need to apologize, but you do not. People will have their opinions, but they were clearly warned ahead of time with the title.
I just spent the last hour reading your original thread...(at a bachelorette party all weekend and missed all the online fun) No apologies needed! It was super entertaining and we needed some spice. We're all adults and we've all obviously had sex before! There is nothing wrong with enjoying yourself and your body!
@scarfbandit Nobody forced anyone to read the thread. No one's hands were tied & no eyes were taped open as somebody scrolled through the posts for them to read every gritty detail. Anybody who participated obviously enjoyed themselves and enjoyed the racy topics. If someone refers to themselves as prudish (which many did when referencing the discussion) or is turned off by such conversations then they can't complain about having read it. No one made them. The original title was VERY obvious in detailing what the topic would be. It'd be like watching porn on your own and then complaining about all the indecency!
So don't apologize. We're all adults, we're all capable of making our own choices.
1. Sorry to hear about your friend. Thoughts & Prayers to you!
2. Don't apologize. Those June '14 ladies must be growing cobwebs down there while enjoying decaf coffee and canasta for fun. Don't let their prudeness (sp?) get to you! Thanks to your thread, not only did I get some middle of the night action, I got some middle of the afternoon action too! Woot for twice in one day.

Dude, seriously though...
I didn't participate in the thread but that's only because I'm not a sexual badass like you guys. (:
Anyone who is embarrassed/ashamed of the original thread didn't have to read it. Don't let anyone get you down.
You're perfectly allowed to talk about stuff like that here. You're cool. You're supportive in every thread. And we like you. June can kiss it.
I totally feel your pain about the crazy hormones....
Please don't bash me June '14!
Dont be embarrassed, you certainly spiced things up! NOTHING wrong with that. A lot of DH's and SO's got lucky this week
