There seems to be a lot of perverts in Male Health...What do you do?!


Question: There just seems to be a lot of unsavory guys in Mens Health inter- mingled with people that have legitimate issues. You have the guy who pretends to be a youth advocate siting mlk's I Have a Dream but he loves telling kids to email him and IM him directly for instructions on how to masterbate. I am sure if you really wanted to advocate for kids you could be doing more then showing them how to masterbate and showing them one on one as you say. Then you have someone who told a kid to email him about masterbating and in his word it will be between them and their litle secret. What is out there to safeguard the kids against the perverts? What is the age to be part of this forum? Is there anyone monitoring?

That is very well said, I personally have never thought of it, but yes I can see now.

I have spoke to I Have A Dream and when I refused to talk I now never see him online on YIM.

He has his little group, help for teens or something.

Good issue, there should be some sort of moderator of sorts, especially on these types of boards.

yes there are people monitoring 13 is the youngest but its not tested so any age and you can report abuse

Wait! you mean there are people here that don't ask serious questions in this section? That can't be

I agree. It's not as well monitored as other sites I am on. On another site I picked up that a young gay male had actually been raped by a man in his 40s when he met up thinking it was another 15 year old boy.

I would hope Yahoo is monitoring. I've gotten censured a couple of times for giving honest answers. Apparently the questions were a little over the line. I agree with you however that there are a lot of people on here playing games and getting their jollies. Sad isn't it?

When you see a question or answer all you have to do it click the "report it" button.

Yep, I've noticed too. Report people you think are out of line, and hopefully everyone will use reasonably clean, rather than crude, language. And I don't EVER want to see that question ... Is my penis size normal .... EVER AGAIN!!!!!! lol.

I try to treat each question as an honest one, but there are certainly some perverts and delinquents all around YahooAnswers, especially this forum because it often relates to sexual questions.

If someone is abusing this service, spreading hate speech, or potentially using this site to make contact with minors for degrading or sexual purposes, PLEASE report the user and question to Yahoo.

The statistics on how many children are sexually solicited online by adults is staggering. Such behaviour must never be tolerated.

For EVERYONE who is reading this: NEVER give out personal information to someone you meet online and never arrange to meet with them in person. There are plenty of good people out there, but the fact is you can never know what someone's intentions (or even identity!) are online.

I ignore them or report them/thumbs down them if they're dodgy. Some stuff does get deleted but usually on reporting, other than that I guess it's not too well-monitored. But a lot of it is up to individual responsibility I mean young kids shouldn't be on this site unsupervised and if there are any young teens they should know not to be dumb enough to email people like that.
