(Or a 13 year old for that matter if you want to take into account the age you don't need permission to join the forum.) Ramble holds a warning about things before entering, General doesn't and should be safe to read by anyone and be Moyles related.
if i was in a public place, and i was having this conversation already (which i believe is an appropriate analogy, it could even be extended to a 'pub' environment during the day where children are allowed to enter without constant adult supervision) - and a 12 year old wandered by, i'd probably be okay with the content of the conversation as it was. fair enough though, i thought the conversation was pretty light hearted and fairly innocent, but i'm not going to go to the lengths of creating an new thread about sex.
interestingly, a similar situation popped up at reading festival, where a father (early 30s) had camped in the main section, very close to our campsite - with two boys (between 11-13). whilst we felt bad that the content of our conversation and activities weren't quite suitable for them, we had to make the decision whether we were to censor ourselves constantly - or allow them to occasionally be exposed to what we were saying. we chose the second option, otherwise it would have hindered our enjoyment in a major way.
so anyone who wishes to discuss the benefits and pitfalls of delayed gratification (with regards to carnal avenues), or even their preferences when it comes to those sorts of activities (be they hasty, unexpected or even just related to preparations before the focal activity itself) - feel free to call me, you'll find my number in your local telephony cubicle.
i'd happily say that sentence in front of a 12 year old.
also, i'm now acknowledging that this is an argument that was most unwise to inflame.
