I believe this is the proper forum to ask about the administration of the board. If not, please move this thread. While I don’t have a daughter it seems entirely reasonable to me that a father might have a strong sexual attraction to his daughter including wanting to have sex with her. Why can’t this be discussed? It is not illegal to want to have sex with your daughter. Why is not allowed to see if there are any fathers who will discuss this? There are threads about using a straw to suck semen of out a person’s anus (felching) - how could my thread possibly be worse? > **[Fathers - Do you want to have sex with your daughter? (TMI, I think)](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=294618)** > > I was over at a friends’ house the other day and I saw a picture that I thought was my female friend. Turns out it was my friends’ mother when she was younger. The mother and daughter looked exactly the same. This got me thinking - does the father... ---

Since when is it illegal to _want_ to have sex with your daughter? It is only illegal to actually do it. I did not ask about having sex, but about the desire to. ---

I think the mods have made it as clear as they can – should they use bigger letters or smaller words or something? Some progress in the fight against ignorance can reasonably be made by polling fellow members of an anonymous or semi-anonymous community for their experiences. Other parts of the fight must be made with scientific literature and polling anonymous people is, at best, counterproductive. The psychology of sex with children, in the judgement of the administration of this message board, falls into the latter category. ---

I’m going to go out on a limb here, **Kel** , and assert that a message board not allowing a thread started by a professed pedophile would similarly not allow a thread discussing the notion of fathers wishing to perform various sexual acts on their children, regardless of age. There has been at least one thread in the past 4.5 years (as long as I’ve been here) discussing why one is not sexually attracted to one’s family members. If you want to pursue your stated topic I would seriously consider restating it such that you are not asserting that men with attractive daughters should have sexual desire toward them. However, I would more seriously consider sitting tight for a while, because in the aftermath of your thread I doubt any similar OP would recieve a shred of respect, and personally I think that’s a deserving response. The notions expressed in your OP were more than slightly heinous. ---

It’s Not Done on the SMDB to discuss these things. That’s pretty much the long and short of it. On top of that… 1. The board has had recent problems with a [paedophile invasion](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=294118). This is not a good time to pose questions concerning morally dubious sexual relations. 2. Most of your threads appear to pose ridiculous and inflammatory questions. Knock it off already. ---

I can understand wanting to avoid a paedophile invasion, but I thought my OP was clear that I talking adult children or at least fully developed. Neither of those situations would involve paedophiles. ---

It’s a valid question within the realm of science, and was touched upon in my freshman anthropology class. Why do most societies have incest taboos? Is there stats to indicate how often the father-daughter incest taboo is broken? If the thread wasn’t a poll asking fathers if they wanted to boink their daughters, but a question framed in a more clinical manner, I think it would have been an appropriate thread for GQ. If I were a mod, I would have closed it but suggested the OP rephrase the question more appropriately and make new thread in GQ. ---

I think it’s just you who isn’t allowed to start threads about having sex with your daughter. If you ask me, this may be the greatest injustice in the history of the SDMB…nay…in the history of all message boards everywhere. Don’t let them keep you down, **Karl**. You have to be you. It wouldn’t be fair to the rest of us if you weren’t. ---

Just to make sure you get an answer to your burning question, **Karl** , it’s that most men are not attracted to children (and even if they are fully developed which is quite possible at 12 for a female, they are still children) and _especially_ their OWN children. There. Are you satisfied? ---

Yes, I’ve come to the conclusion that \*\*Karl Vensen \*\* may be a seriously disturbed individual. I’m glad he apparently lives somewhere cold, which is probably nowhere near Tucson. ---

You know why it’s not being allowed? Because you have proven to this community, repeatedly, that you are little more than an attention-whoring, trouble-courting asshole with no regard for propriety in any sense of the word. Your posts are designed to provoke and upset, and it works every goddamned time. I hope you are proud of yourself. ---

Neither of those situations would involve paedophiles. I intended that as an example. A more general statement: There are times when a topic is less welcome than it would be under other circumstances. Posting Topic X when a related Topic Y has been Whack-A-Moled by the mods is not good timing. I don’t know about **Kel** being disturbed though. Maybe he just has a morbid imagination and no restraint. ---
