We had a community member write to us asking to moderate the community more for profanity. This is silly, no? I curse like a sailor so I have no real reference point lol

I personally don't even really notice profanity, but I guess maybe it makes some people uncomfortable or they may feel like profanity takes away from the point they're trying to get across.

Do you have a code of conduct? If not, I would think about creating one.

IME curbing the profanities from the jump is worth it. Even if IRL you swear a lot, community moderation is inherently different and not a reflection of you, but your org. Consider - what kind of impression do you want a prospective community member to have based on a visit to the community forum? It’s also worth considering that if one community member speaks up, they’re likely not the only one uncomfortable with it.

On the topic of intimacy with partners… I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years and the past year his libido has dropped to zero. Mostly due to work stress (he says). Whenever I try to initiate, he always shuts me down and says he’s not in the mood. I even touch him and he gets hard but stops me as soon as I try to unzip him. We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭
