Last night, Ms LP and I attended the ([NOPARSE]URL=“http://halifax.everythingtodowithsex.com/”[/NOPARSE]) “Everything to do with Sex” Trade Show. It was the first time we had experienced such an event.

When we were kids, dry cell batteries were the latest tech craze. Have you seen the sex toys you can get now? And, you don’t always need a prescription!

The highlight of the evening, without a doubt, was a performance by ([NOPARSE]URL=“http://www.roxidlite.com/”[/NOPARSE]) Ms Roxi Dlite

Kinda makes me wish I hadn’t wasted all that time on drugs and made more of an effort to sneak into the Victory Burlesque House in Toronto back in the 60s.:smack:

I’m glad you had a good time, longPath, but please remember our two-click rule for NSFW links.

Thanks,

Twicks,

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I guess it’s the first time It’s come up for me.

So: anything which might be NSFW, offer a warning and break the link. Yes?

My favorite way is just to put it in spoiler tags. Like this:

[noparse] http://www.roxidlite.com/ [/noparse]

produces this:

http://www.roxidlite.com

BTW, those spaces are necessary. Without them, you won’t get a link.

Thank god we have this rule to protect us from ourselves! Why I was shocked (Shocked!) to learn that clicking on the “everything to do with sex” link took me to a page that might not be safe for work. Who knew?

6

Well, to be fair, what if you were a 'doper on, say, *Tralfamador. Sex might mean something totally different. Ya know?

  • I did say I was old.:slight_smile:

I think breaking the link is useful in case of the spastic clicker such as myself. I sometimes click on a page to bring a window back to the front, and sometimes I end up double-clicking and accidentally clicking on a link in the browser window after it came back to the front.

8

Yes, longPath, we ask that you both give the NSFW warning and make the link indirect. Anything you to do make it two clicks to get to the image is fine – either create a spoiler box, as BigT demonstrated, or put [noparse] tags front and back (with the backslash in the second tag, of course).

The double-click rule is to make sure that anyone who goes to the site is doing so deliberately. We’re not trying to prevent anyone from looking at pictures of naked women (or naked men, for that matter), just make sure that they don’t do so inadvertently – e.g., at work when the boss is walking by.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Did you ever need a prescription for sex toys? Like, are we talking about the days where hysteria was considered a real ailment?

10

I wish I could prescribe sex. I’d even offer free refills.

11

For men, too?

12

The master has spoken: Did Victorian era doctors use vibrators to treat hysteric female patients with orgasm therapy? - The Straight Dope

13

Oh, I’d still prescribe it. I just wouldn’t fill the prescription. Let the pharmacist do that.

14

Or worse, at home when the boss is walking by!
