Oh dear, now you have brought stalkers in to it..that was a figure of speech, of course it was..And please stop with the unprecedented sex angle and the fact we don't mind it, like probably half the folk on here. The two do not compare, like have said in my other replies..I WILL not get an STD or neither will other walking past each other in a store..but I could possibly catch Covid-19 this way..I would not kill a member of my family or the wider public walking past them with an STD. But, I possibly could if I passed on Covid-19. So let's leave the unprotected sex angle compared to Covid-19 behind.
I am not missing the point ..My point is and it's the Governments and the Doctors point of view too..STRANGERS should not meet..or at least keep a safe distance to help stop the spread of Covid-19..now I'm sure, having sex with strangers is not a thing they would condone, because obviously, it would be impossible to stop Covid-19 passing from one person to another, if one of those persons as it, then they go home to their family and so on and pass it on to them..no matter what you think or presume..A site like this has a duty of care,and should not be allowing meet request adverts. No excuses or reasoning..or changing the subject regarding stalking or STDs..THE FACT is Coronavirus is very contagious and in fact is on the brink of coming back and putting us all into lockdown again..we are in lockdown in Manchester because of new outbreak cases ..I come on here and see new meet request and wonder why this is being allowed..OK yes, this is a swinging site and of course we ae all here for the same purpose..and I understand that SH wants to keep it's members happy and of course keeps it's membership revenue..But you do have a big responsibility to others who may unintentionally become a victim of Covid-19 and die from it, because they come in contact with someone from here who has met strangers for sex who as Coronavirus...You have this policy of not showing tattoos in videos and pictures to protect those folk in them that might not want to be identified, even though they know the risks of allowing to be filmed. Yet you are vary happy to let folk place meet request and possibly kill innocent members of the public...come on you must see were you argument with me is going wrong...I felt I had to say something to those posting meet request to remind them of this...People no matter what excuse, should not be meeting for sexually encounters whilst this deadly pandemic is still around us..I am not going to say anymore on this matter now I see I am losing the battle because two moderaters have got involved now..I have screened shot these conversations for my own references ....STOP making excuses STOP meet request aderts and posts until at least this deadly pandemic as passed or we have a vaccine...
Ok- I feel like I may be about to commence banging my head on a brick wall again, so I'm going to stick to a few important points, but here we go..
I didn't bring stalking into this conversation- you did.
The "Duty of Care" as you call it, of the site extends to things that happen on the site and over which the site has direct control, not some extended version of that which you feel the site should bear responsibility for. Unfortunately that's just not possible, practical or reasonable. Ultimately the use of the site is governed by the AuP.
You've asked that we don't mention comparing your approach to the risks of unprotected sex to risks associated with Covid. At the same time you're drawing a comparison between the sites rules on images vs the rules you think the site should have about meets- you can't really have it both ways in a discussion.
I would say your assertion that people may unintentionally become exposed to Covid is misleading. I don't think many people would intentionally expose themselves to it under any circumstances, but I'd also like to think that after five months of news coverage and discussion, most people are reasonably well informed about it and know there is some, residual risk, of it being contracted however careful you are. Unless you are 100% isolated from everyone else and don't touch anything anyone else has touched. All any of us can do is do our best to reduce our own risks to a minimum where possible.
Further, I'd like to think that if people choose to meet then they understand the risks, after all it IS possible to meet people and comply with government guidance on social distancing etc. otherwise, who are all the people in pubs and restaurants going out with? people they all live with?
You also say that it's a fact that the virus is coming back, it's doing no such thing, you can't come back if you never went away and the virus never went away, the levels just reduced, that is very different.
On the subject of your facts, you'll find that Covid appears to be slightly more contagious than the flu, but much less contagious than say, measles, so calling it highly contagious as a 'fact' is also a little misleading when looked at from a clinical point of view.
Ultimately- Cubes nailed it, he even linked the government advice for you, can't say fairer than that.
Finally, as far as I am concerned, this was a discussion not an argument
