Do you think GaG is a good place to get advice on sex?

[stratford]

Do you find people's responses genuinely helpful?

Do you think a lot of the advice or comments by girls are actually by men posing as girls?

[MrOracle]

This a forum on the Internet.

What that means is that you can definitely get some good information - especially if you ask well-formed questions that are focused and to the point, while supplying enough context that people know exactly what you are asking.

But it's also a forum on the Internet, which means you're ALSO going to get plenty of 5-word answers, off-topic answers, and outright trolls. As with ANY Internet forum, you have to learn to filter those out and see them for what they are, and focus on the quality replies.

Plenty of people focus ONLY on the trolls and see GaG as a sad circus at best, but that's dishonest. And some people are TERRIBLE at asking questions, and then get upset when they don't get good answers. GaG is a place where you definitely get back what you put into it, so if you make low effort with your questions, you're going to get low-effort answers.

Some people actually give advise. The main ones that are guys pretending to be girls are the ones with fake pics "what do you think of my pic" questions. Sometimes they post more than one and you can see its different people.

[stratford]

I've seen this too - so annoying!

[Havthrills]

I started messing with them

[AddylynnNightingale]

No. Best example is the never ending wave of penis size questions. The fact that they have to ask it again and again shows that it isn't a good place, because people are not learning.

[stratford]

I also am tired of the penis size questions! A lot of people are not looking at what has been asked before, but also the way GaG is setup is to encourage people to ask questions to gain points, so in a way it does encourage repeat questions. Have you ever had a response to a question that you found useful, or felt that the advice you gave was valued?

[AddylynnNightingale]

The reason why I don't post questions is because I always look if it hasn't been asked before and those answers are enough.

[stratford]

That's a great approach. I do like to feel involved in the discussion too.

[EmmaMary]

Why would guys posing as girls give advice, that makes no sense whatsoever?

[stratford]

Exactly! For some of the more extreme or taboo aspects of sex, I worry that there are some guys posting extreme responses to make girls believe they are normal. That said I know some girls are into the more extreme stuff, which is totally fine, I'm just trying to (very badly) explain my point - if that makes any sense at all 😂

[EmmaMary]

@stratford That indeed now makes perfect sense, and you could very well be absolutely right with these thoughts. In all honesty, I have never looked at it this way, but will certainly be looking much closer from now on.

[stratford]

@emmamary sounds good. Let me know if you ever have your suspicions about a girl's responses :-)

[EmmaMary]

@stratford I most certainly will.

[EmmaMary]

Thank you for the MHGirl.

[stratford]

@emmamary you're welcome

[EmmaMary]

@stratford Bless You and Thank You.

[RobT312]

I have seen annoying questions and responses, but there are helpful responses out there. …. taking it with a grain of salt and it’s ok

[DrAdams]

The penis size questions are just spammed continually, been happening for years now alongside the usual 'is this bra size' ok ones. Some questions are good, but many simply trolls or repeated queries.

[_Just_A_girl_]

Nah a sex therapist

[JPresidente]

Very rarely. Sometimes I help and sometimes I'm guilty of moving on or giving a half-hearted answer.

[BJP21]

Its a good place to get a point of view, but not advice. You can tell if its a guy posing as a girl. The girls don't ask as many sex questions.

[stratford]

How can you tell if a guy is posing as a girl posting a response?

[BJP21]

@Stratford The girls don't ask as many sex questions.

[SunnyHeythere]

Hell no

[CubaPirate]

Maybe lol

[Gooddaze]

Hell NO.
