It's too bad and probably embarrassing that you got "busted". Sorry about that.
As for "being an adult", I'll be monitoring my kids' activity for sure. However... We all know there are alot of teenagers on this site and everyone is cool with it, talking, IM'ing, chatting, posting, interacting, overlooking etc. Then a topic comes up like this and everyone finds their moral center. So it's kinda saying "Welcome. We're glad you're here as long as you're not busted, but the moment you are, we have to wholeheartedly agree with your parents that you shouldn't be."
It's not like this site opens a magical new undiscovered world to teenagers who masturbate. I recall us all figuring that out long before the TT. As for chatting or being friends, sharing artwork... there are countless places online that everyone could go to see much worse. This isn't exactly a mainstream topic, so it sounds strange to those not interested. I personally find it less strange than betting alot of money at a dog track or line dancing [!?!], but those types of things aren't "sexual" in nature.
Okay, maybe line dancing is...
Ticklekay, no offense meant. Nice of you to stick up for them. Vlad and I go way back and I knew he'd get it.
