in Introduce Yourself
We all came here...

I wanna know the stories of what made you come here or how you got here and stuff...

I google'd sex advice, just to learn some new tips and stuff and came to thesite.org the advice on the main pages didn't seem to do it for me so when I saw a 'Join in with the discussion' link.. I thought I would give it a go...

Having joined up I asked people some questions not expecting a reply...

I'm glad I've joined

    I think you may be somewhere approaching the record for number of posts in the first week of joining :p.

    Anyway, I joined because my mum showed me some of the self-harm content on the main site, and I made a thread and stuck around....for 6 years.....

    I like it here... not all the people I hang around with understand me that much... that or their too busy with their own lives to bother with anything that's going on with mine...

    I like to give and take, it only makes sense tbh.

    It's nice that your mum took the interest to research and find websites that maybe usefull! my mum doesn't even know if I'm in or out or whatever... she's too busy with work! (which is lame because she's a manager at burger king -_-) Woop-de-doo hey?

    Anyways this place is great, and I dunno, loads of people post everday =] I pretty much have had no life the past few days I've been feeling a bit ill and not been in college much!

    I joined up cos i'd been looking at the main site pages for help with my ex and saw the boards. Didnt join straight away but after a while i thought its such a good place to get some advice from people and share your own opinions, i thought, why not. I love it here now and come in most days... I am getting to the stage though where any little thought or question comes into my head i feel the need to post it, even if its not important, i have to restrain myself alot of he time.

    course there is. On another website i was on there all the time i posted about 37 posts a day i was well addicted so i had to leave for my own good. Atleast 10 hours a day on the computer thats way too much. I only spend 2 hours on here a day but some times i don't post but i like this website so i'll be here for a bit longer.

    I have a friend who posts here. It started off with us having problems and me asking if it was ok for me to ask for advice on another forum. He then said 'you may like it at The Site because it's for people your age. If you do ask for advice involving the stuff with me, then don't mention my name, please.'

    I was doing research into drugs, mainly LSD. So afer reading a few old threads, a few websites, I thought I'd come and ask a few questions to find out if the other sites were telling the truth rather than BS propoganda.

    I read in the News of the World that that it was a decrepit place of sex and drugs run by neo-nazis so I decided to join.

    Nearly 9 years later here I still am. Made a great many friends and learnt a lot from this place definately.

    I think a lot of people pop by, discuss their problems then move on, I think its good when people stick around and you get to know them more, or something like that.

    Here is what was said, from something like June 2000:
    TONY'S WEBSITE TURNS THE BLAIR BLUE

    By NADIA COHEN


    A WEBSITE for teenagers launched by Tony Blair has been banned—for being too BLUE.

    The Prime Minister personally endorsed TheSite.org when it first hit the worldwide web in April amid a blaze of publicity, pictured right at launch.

    But an online directory has now REFUSED even to list the site after finding it littered with explicit sex details.

    Roger Fenton, shocked managing director of the directory Just35.com, declared: “This is not a site for kids. The contents are vulgar and I wouldn’t want any children visiting the site.

    “I’m astounded this has been backed by Tony Blair.”

    When the Premier was photographed surfing through TheSite.org’s pages at London’s trendy West End nightspot Home he praised its coverage and listings of volunteer opportunities.


    Antics
    Since then youngsters have been taking the opportunity to volunteer red-hot revelations of their love lives and bizarre bedroom antics.

    More than 65,000 children a month log on to the site, which is run by charity YouthNet UK and sponsored by BT and Coca Cola.

    But parents would be stunned by some of the content.

    This month’s tips include an intimately detailed how-to-do-it guide to oral sex.


    ONLINE SHOCKER: 'Sex' section with explicit details

    Space is also devoted to the most peculiar and nauseating fetishes—including sex with shop dummies.

    The site’s mission statement boasts: “We don’t tell anyone how to lead their lives—we just believe everybody should have all the information they need to make the most of things on their own terms.”

    But then it brazenly encourages teenagers to write in and tell all with the tease: “TheSite isn’t a grubby little porn site—not yet anyway—but we’d still like to hear what pleasures you.”

    Recent stories include ‘My boyfriend wants a helping hand’, ‘He’s a disappointment’ and ‘My boyfriend wants me to get larger breasts’.

    Online agony aunts dispense advice such as: “There’s a good reason why a guy may refer to his ‘Crown Jewels’. "For him it’s the most precious bit of his body and something that needs to be handled with great care.”

    Girls in a clinch are urged not to behave “like a carrot picker” because it will “get him crying out for all the wrong reasons”.

    TheSite.org’s marketing director Jamie Thomas insisted: “The articles we produce can be quite frank so people can digest them.

    "Nothing is for the sake of titillation—that’s not what we are about.

    "The site is aimed at young adults. It’s not a children’s site and has never pretended to be.”

    Despite the rumpus BT and Coca Cola both stood by their decisions to give the site cash.

    However, a Downing Street aide told us: “Websites are organic and change. The PM had no problems with what was on the site at the time he was associated with it, but we have no idea what it looks like now.”

    The first time, it was because I had a crush on a girl at high school and didn't know how to approach her. In the end I never asked about it, lol.

    The second time, because I had just spent more than 6 months after school had ended (my first uni semester was some time later) and I had been by myself for pretty much the entirety of that time, so I figured I could use some exercise for my social skills.

    I don't think I've ever said it on the boards! Maybe in private chat.
