Well my answer to those that are uncomfortable with such threads would be...don't open them, and those who create them should place a graphic content warning in the title just to be fair. But I guess that's a more acceptable and understandable reason to ban them than age - which is definitely not. I don't think any 13 year olds on here have been 'involved' in any sexual discussions, probably just read them...and if you went into any Year 8/Year 9 class in a high school in anywhere across the UK you would hear much, much worse conversations than are being had on this forum, believe me. 13 year olds aren't stupid, or innocent.
Also, if parents are really that concerned at that age - then they should be monitoring their online activity and actually should be wondering why they want to be talking to a load of 20/30 year olds on a forum anyway. It isn't this forums job to parent a load of under 16's.
