I thought, once I joined the site, that I wouldn't be comfortable talking. but, the community here is out there and awesome, so I can pretty much say anything and not be offensive. I love it.
Just wondering how comfortable you feel in the Eden Fantasys when it comes to expressing your opinions, asking questions, or sharing personal experiences in the Forum?

I am still getting a feel for Eden. I dont get on the forums every day so I am still figuring it out.

I used to feel TOTALLY comfortable here...till a comment got "flagged". Anyone here for a while will learn that despite being a "free to speak, non threatening" community, there are certain subjects you better "walk on eggshells" about, since either folks get belligerent or have VERY thin skin.

That is frequently the case, everywhere in life. Those who claim to pro-port the most "freedom of thought", are the biggest pushers of P.C. and you quickly discover that among these people "free thought" and "free speech" only means "free to AGREE with me 100% of the time" and "Free to ONLY say what I think is supporting MY view, or you must be SHUT DOWN...HARD". (come on, you KNOW who you are...
I have run into it in life. I have run into it here. It just means that everyone here are "plain old people too".

Eden is never the issue. It is some folks here...as in the real world, that get down right angry if they feel that you are expressing an opinion or viewpoint that is "not theirs". For the most part, I think the majority of folks here are amazingly cool and open. . However, as with any gathering of people...it takes all kinds!

Depends on the topic. For the most part, I am but certain topics I have to censor myself a bit for personal reasons, mostly not having to do with eden. I love the sex positive community we have here.

We downright LOVE this site. It is the MOST amazing online chat group we have EVER found. We gain from it in a number of ways...not the least of which is GREAT info we can use in bedroom play and the toys we take there. We happen to like the SOCIAL questions too. Just fun all around. Nothing too serious, and a way to LIGHTEN the day on an otherwise serious world!!!!

AGAIN...you say things SO well. Drama Avoidance. Life is too short. I HATE "drama" in the real world and so I sure don't want it here.. at a site that is, for all intents, just FUN. P'Gell nails it again. Kudo's!!!

For the most part I am very comfortable. There are a few threads I just don't reply to. "Why do you or don't you shave your pubes?" kind of stuff. It invariably leads to someone using the word "dirty" or "disgusting" about the people who have every right not to shave if they don't want, then someone starts with the rather insulting "hidden pedophile" aspect of those who do, and it's a mess that I usually chose to stay away from.
Also, some threads are just too personal. I share a lot, but there are things I DO keep to myself.
Like many, I don't want to add to too much drama.

For the most part, I am very comfortable. I'm far chattier here than anywhere else on the internet. Discussing sex, sexuality, and toys so openly and without feeling shy or awkward, and without fear of reproach or "odd looks," is wonderful (I can talk about such things with my friends and mother, but I hardly see the former and I always get embarrassed with the latter), and in general most of the forum-goers have been very friendly.

I was very comfortable, but lately I've noticed a lot of people trying to "personally attack" me, and others, for simply posing a question. Mostly, its just people lashing out, with simple but spiteful comments.

Just makes me not want to post questions/comments related to anything overly political/religious/co ntroversial in general.

Eden has become kind of a safety spot for me. When other things are rough in my life i like to write, but I don't like to write nonsense so finding products i have tried, and being able to write reviews makes me have something constant. I like to be open and up to being able to be myself fully.
