Anyone can search the multitude of positions, so its not necessary to give the link IMO. One poster said he couldn't even access the link because his university has websites like that blocked - good call.
Swear words are censored here, so it made sense to me this animated link would also qualify. Fact is ...there's no way to block kids from here. Inquiring other peoples positions seemed invasive and it made me feel uncomfortable. In addition many of the positions go beyond the average persons physical abilities lol which may make some feel inferior. I have a sincere question and this isn't directed to the OPer of that thread........how does a website decipher between a legitimate sexual issue and a poster who tends to be perverted......then posts topics for his/her own pleasure? As I stated on the thread, I have no problem speaking openly if a person has a problem

the censoring sexual information can be don through a parenting control program with in the computers of each person that owns a computer. I forget what the program is called but it runs about $50-100 bucks in walmart. Parents upload the program and then sets what materials they dont want their teen and children to have access to. computers also have setting options for parents to use where they can block specific sites/internet materials. personal computers also have settings for things like fishing/spyware/virus/ pop ups and other settings that address porn links.
which is probably why websites in general leave a persons viewing pleasures up to each of its members to take care of...
on a personal note on this idea of psych central coming up with something to limit a persons viewing/posting pleasures....
yea its aimed at teens but like already discussed theres no way to varify whether a person adult or teen is ....really...a teen or adult behind the computer screen, there are adults out there pretending to be kids/teens and kids/teens pretending to be adults...example facebook the rule is no one under a certain age but I know quite a few 5-13 yr olds on the site playing games, posting and what have you...in their profiles it states they are in their 20's because when they register and place their true age the registration wont go through...facebook is now changing to an open to all policy because they have recognized they can not prevent children and teens from being on the site with or with out parents permission.
that said....lets just pretend for a moment that psych central has some how come up with a way to limit child and teen activities here....
now to see how this will also impact the adult members look at one of the mental disorders here...Dissociative disorders board....on that board we have many adult members with insider parts that are as young as 4 or 5 posting...with limiting a members under a certain age that means that most of those on the dissociative disorders board will no longer be able to post and view anything above G rated material...now go to each of the boards and you will find that sexuality and sexual problems are part of just about every mental and physical problem there is....
so now not only do the adults from the DD boards get affected but everyone who may have sexual problems because of depression, bipolar, schizophrenia, and every other board..
just something to think about because when you are asking that teens be limited you are also affecting your own abilities to have freedom of viewing and posting..right down to if you suddenly get prescribed a medication that may be causing you sexual problems....
