Official Rules and Guidelines for All Sex Advice

The following are the official rules for participation, in any form, on All Sex Advice. You need to be familiar with them because they are VERY STRICTLY ENFORCED. So please, take a few moments to familiarize yourself with them.

1) You must be 18 years of age or older to not only participate, but read the discussions on this site as well. If you are under the age of 18, please visit www.Scarleteen.com. They are a very educational website filled with articles and they have a message board just like this one, but geared toward folks under 18 years of age. If you are under 18 years of age and you are participating on this site, YOU WILL BE FOUND OUT, and you will be banned.

2) There is absolutely, positively no spamming allowed on this board whatsoever. By spamming, I mean signing up for an account to only post links to your website that have nothing to do with the conversations that are happening here. To be honest, if you post those links, you are wasting your time because they will be immediately deleted and you will be banned, so it's really a waste of your time to even bother.

3) There is no discussion about beastiality, rape, underage sex, incest or anything considered illegal in the continental U.S. If I feel a topic questionable, legal wise, I will immediately delete it or lock the topic.

4) Please re-read your responses before you post them. Try to be very clear and concise with your thoughts. Remember, we can not see any facial expressions or read any body language, so there's a good chance that your post may be misunderstood. Basically, say exactly what you mean and mean exactly what you say.

5) We have people participating from all over the world on this board, coming from all different backgrounds and cultures, so please be understanding of a wide range of thoughts and opinions. You can absolutely debate the issues here, but do not crucify a person for his/her beliefs or opinions. They are solely those of that particular person.

6) Do not use any derogatory or inflammatory language toward anyone on this board. Just because you don't see eye to eye, doesn't mean that you resort to name calling, cussing at one another or showing utter disrespect towards another. None here is perfect, we all make mistakes and do stupid things in life, so it is disrespectful and unfair to judge another members' actions. It will NOT be tolerated.

7) Do not bring any form of religious discussion, or God talk, into the conversations on this board. We get passionate enough when we're talking about sex, whenever religion comes into the picture, the topic only turns into a bloody battle. Regardless, this is a sex discission site, not a religious one.

8) As the top moderator and founder of this board, I can delete any posts or ban any member that I feel is inappropriate or acting inappropriately. Due to the fact that this board can get extremely busy at times, I do not need to contact you with a reason why. If your post is gone, come back and check on the rules to see where you might have gone wrong.

9) If there is a member causing problems on this board, or if there is a post that upsets you terribly, please use the "Report this post" link and Larry or I will take care of the problem. Please do not take matters into your own hands and start yelling and screaming. It's not worth you getting upset over. Many times the person is only trying to get a rise out of you anyway. Even if I don't get an email about it, I'll find it soon enough and take whatever actions I need to.

10) There is no uploading of pictures or attachments of any kind. We have found this board to be much easier to read and participate in without such hoopla. If you do upload any pics, they will be deleted and you may be banned. We have provided a wide variety of cool, avatar pics for you to choose from. Those are the only pictures allowed on this site.

11) Make sure that every word you type is your word and your words alone. We forbid any kind of copyright infringement on this board. Do not copy and paste an article or thoughts from another website onto this one. I've had that happen to me, more times than I'd like to remember and besides it being just plain ole, wrong and disrespectful, it's illegal. If you find an interesting article to share, post a link to it.

12) Please speak to people a little in your posts, don't just respond to someone by posting a whole mess of links. We're here to talk to each other, many times that looks like your blowing someone off.

13) When you respond to someone's question, make sure you have enough time to write out your response. If you're in a rush, the person reading your response will misinterpret what you're saying and then you'll have a problem you could have easily avoided.

14) There is no cybering or picking up others on this forum. There is no trading of pics or linking to your own private videos here. We discuss sex very openly and passionately here and no one here is looking for that kind of attention.

15) There is no general chat area on this board because we get visitors depending on what we discuss. We discuss a lot of adult material on this board, so we must keep it to adult topics only. Every once in while I let things slide, but for the most part, this is a forum about sex.

16) There is no private messaging on this board because of spamming problems in the past. This is to protect you more than anything else. If you've got something to discuss with someone privately, email them, if they have allowed that.

17) We have also turned off the members list, so that no one else can get your email addresses, again, for your privacy and protection.

18) This is not a cell phone, so don't type like your "texting" someone. It may be easy to read on a cell phone, but on a message board such as this, it's an absolute nightmare. If I see that, your post will immediately be deleted.

19) If you have a question about the functioning or rules of this website, please post your question in this category "Questions About Our Site and Rules" I will happy to answer to them.

20) Please keep in mind that no one here is a medical doctor, so we do not diagnose or prescribe anything. If you have a serious problem, make sure you see a healthcare professional.

21) When posting a new topic, make sure the title of your topic has to do with the subject matter. Do not title your topic, "Help me" or "Help Now". If your having such an emergency, you need to contact a healthcare professional, go to your local Planned Parenthood, or go to the emergency room.

22) Please keep all discussions about the original topic. It's very easy to go off on a tangent because of fooling around, debating or because another question comes up. Unfortunately, that kind of derailing of the conversation does nothing to help the person who asked the initial question. If you do find that you have another question, please start a new discussion, you'll get more and better answers that way. Otherwise, your question will get lost in someone else's.

24) We do our best to keep this site maintained, however, we can not guarantee that every single post you make will be up forever. So if your post(s) vanish over time, either by just yearly purges to keep the site running smoothly or by technical difficulties, you understand as a member that's just part of the process. Make sure you keep your own copies on your own computer.

25) As members you understand that anything you post on this message board becomes the property of AllSexAdvice.com so do not email me asking me to remove posts. This is a public forum, if you don't want anyone to know who you are, make sure your username and identity are anonymous.

26) Please do not email me with questions about sex.

27) Once your account is activated we expect you to participate. If a month goes by and you haven't posted anything, your account will most likely be deleted. Keeping inactive accounts overburdens our server which may cause an inconvenience to active members on this board.

28)We try our best to monitor the information that is posted on this board, however, we can not check every single post for absolute accuracy. By participating you have read the rules and understand that no one here is a medical doctor or healthcare professional, so AllSexAdvice.com and its moderators and owners can not be held liable for any inaccurate information on this board that may cause you or your partner harm, physically and/or emotionally.

29)This is a Sex Advice message board. Please keep all discussions, in every category on this board, about sex and/or sexuality. Any posts about dating or general relationship advice will be deleted.

30) We only allow members to post on this board. Please do not post under another member's name if you're not a member. If you do not officially register, we have no proof that you're 18 years of age or older. If you post under another member's username your post will be closed and/or deleted.

If you enjoy this site, the community and the information that it provides to you, this site is kept alive, financially, through the links to online shops and recommendations made by Ann. Some of those shops include, but are not limited to any links to online shops within www.SexToys411.com and www.IntimateSource.com

By purchasing through those links, you'll be shopping with a secure retailer. I've used these folks myself and can honestly say they're good companies to deal with. So I thank you in advance for your support.

Thank you for taking the time to read these rules, I appreciate it. They may seem a little strict, but we really do have a great place here, filled with a lot of information and some of the kindest folks on the planet. I have found that in the 4 years we've been running that these strict rules have made this place what it is.

Welcome to All Sex Advice and Enjoy!
