"I have to be honest I dont think the catholic church have much influence to most people on Fab I do think that more of a sense of Irish humour comes out on the forum and that the uk forum is more sexualy explicit because we're very much a closer community in real life so you can lose your anonymity a lot easier here than the uk. " Question - do you think most of the people on fab would be comfortable with their friends or families knowing that they're here? And if not, don't you think that's a consequence of living in a country with such a recent history of church influence? | |||

" 1) On a scale of 1-10, how comfortable are you discussing your sexual preferences on here? 2) Do you think your comfort level is influenced by your church upbringing? 3) What age are you? Very relevant, I think. Mrs " 1) 8 I’d say. I’ll discuss nearly anything in general related to preferences but not a lot of specifics of what I’ve done and not a thing about who with. Only reluctance I have on discussing preferences is if people might cynically put together a more total picture of me to try figure out who I am to use it against me or such 2) used to be but not much now at all anymore. The church holds little in terms of morality for me 3) 37 Him | |||

"I don't really discuss my preferences here either but to be honest I would put that down to more of a cultural thing. Irish people are secretive in general. I have absolutely no idea about the teachings of the church and my parents wouldn't have went to church once the hit adulthood. I never attended church even at xmas. I know very little about Catholicism even though I'm supposed to be Catholics. I don't know anyone my age or even my parents age of close to 60 that attend church regularly tbh." You don't need to attend church to be influenced by it though. It's played such a huge role in our past that Irish culture is massively shaped by it. For example, that secretiveness that you mentioned is largely caused by the shame our grandparents and great grandparents had around sin, which was caused by the church. That's why pregnant unmarried women were hidden away and never talked about, or boys who were abused by priests never told anyone. I'm not saying that the church is the only thing that's influenced us, or even that it's the biggest influence on us today. I'd certainly hope not. But I do think it's silly to think any of us have escaped it's influence when schools still force kids to say their prayers and the angelus is played on national TV everyday. | |||

"There's a noticeable difference between content discussed on the British and Irish forums. The Brits have no problem divulging intimate details of their sexual likes and dislikes. However, us Irish seem to take a different approach. Reading the Irish forums will give you ideas for Netflix, playlists, ways to reduce COVID spread, ideas for food, some challenging puzzles etc. You'll get the odd thread (usually posted by a guy) offering ladies €6 to purchase from a list of sexual acts etc etc. People usually go off on tangets with their hilarious answers and he doesn't get the expected response. Having mulled over the distinct difference (and I must say, enjoying the Irish forum more), I have concluded that the Church still has a phychological foothold on Irish society where sex is concerned, despite our protestations to the contrary. We don't seem very confortable in divulging such details and resort instead to humour. So if you've read this far, my questions are: 1) On a scale of 1-10, how comfortable are you discussing your sexual preferences on here? 2) Do you think your comfort level is influenced by your church upbringing? 3) What age are you? Very relevant, I think. NOTE: This is not a church bashing thread, let's just call it research. Mrs " 1....10 2. No...l have my beliefs but when it comes to giving a lady pleasure nothing is a barrier to try to give her what she..wants.. needs ..desires ..is sex not THE greatest gift of all ???..BUT there is a line l will never cross..involvement with a married lady 3. Age is on my profile . | |||

" I couldn't have written that better myself. We can talk about 'culture' and 'society' 'til the cows come home, but they have been directly influenced by the church here. Consciously, unconsciously or subconsciously, I don’t know if any of us can say that we are not influenced by the church in any way. | |||

Mrs " It was me that posted a Forum post from UK OP.. thanks for noticing this as a newbie I have bitched a little about the forum being quite judgmental and piss takie when it comes to sexuality.. I’m 40 and this is not an age thing as far as I’m concerned.. educated within a CBS.. I’ve been exposed to it but try to be liberated and not as conservative as I was taught.. but it’s definitely prevalent here though as in your example... Hence I wouldn’t want to share much here because of the I feel closed opinions.. and I’ll probably get roasted for saying so just to further the evidence.. but that’s my opinion | |||

"I don't think the church has much, if any, influence. I do believe that it can be due to the high level of rebuke that can be expressed on sites like these, there can be harsh words used. That's why I would be very cautious on this site. A friend (yes a friend!) explained that he basically got shut down by people for his comments which were in no way immoral or disgusting. I'm 41" I must say I have never seen a person on here shot down for their comments on sex. Maybe ladies rightly pulled guys up on comments bigging themselves up, but that's all. I've seen more arguments over non-sexual conversations tbh. Can I ask what his comments related to? | |||

Very relevant, I think. NOTE: This is not a church bashing thread, let's just call it research. Mrs " 1. I have no issue talking about my sexual preferences but have no interest in talking about them to everyone on here. If there's a thread I'm interested in I'll comment on it but I gave up answering questions in pms about sexual preferences etc ages ago as too many are looking for just wank material. If I get to know someone I will talk a bit about them but prefer to meet and see how we get on in person. 2.No I don't believe the church has had any real influence over how I think about it at all. I'm not religious There's so much I don't agree with when it comes to the church and its hypocrisy at times and a lot of the most relgious people I have known who are weekly church goers would walk all over anyone if they thought they would benefit. But at the same time I've seen how someone's faith can help them enormously when things get tough. But I realised when I was quite young that it wasn't something that I'd follow. I'm more agonist than anything I guess. 3. I'm 47 my profile age is my real age. I think the irish forums has a good selection of random threads a lot of the time. I personally would find it less interesting if it was all sex talk on here. You get to see peoples personality on here and views on so many different things. There's plenty of other parts of the forums where there is a lot more sex conversations so its there if people want it also. | |||

"I'm Welsh and when I moved here it was a serious eye opener.. The Welsh are very open and Liberal. But that was a good few years ago now to be fair. Ireland has come a long way " I totally agree with this, I (mr Gs) am also Welsh and found that I was alot more open about those things compared to Mrs Gs (irish) | |||
