Is there an Ask.MeFI for sex and sexuality?

January 1, 2011 5:18 PM

AskMeFi is always a place you can count on getting good info and help from the community. Is there a site where you can get the same quality of answers and thoughts in regard to sex? Been looking and keep finding junk and adolescent user bases. I'm not so much looking for clinical, more along the lines of an open and *open minded* community dedicated to sex and all things sex related. A place where I could ask something on the 'fringe' side and get helpful, grown up input. Thanks

Best answer: Somebody mentioned Fetlife the other day. I've never been.

And it might go without saying, but Askme does take questions about sex (the degree of openmindedness, though, is open to debate).

Best answer: There is a MeFi group on Fetlife, fwiw.

Believe it or not, Reddit's sex subreddit does a decent job. Yeah it definitely skews younger and can get a bit boyzone-ish at times, but there seems to be a large base of sex-positive users who aren't out to judge and are providing good, frank answers and discussion.

There's the Love, Sex, and Relationships subforum on the xkcd fora, which I've seen to be very welcoming, friendly, and positive.
