I've seen a few non virus, medical posts recently so health or medical would be good. Might encourage people to talk about "stuff"

The main problem would be that anyone wanting advice/info about anything medical would have to wade through all the conspiracy shit to get to it.

Anyone wanting information or advice on anything medical, shouldn't be consulting random strangers from a swinging site

No obviously.

But some people find it quite cathartic talking about certain issues as for the main part it's anonymous .

Just talking rather than advice,I think people realise that it's not WebMD

I agree, some people feel better opening up anonymously, but on the flip side, some people just love the drama of projecting thier opinions regardless if it's factually correct or not.

Sexual health, yes it is directly associated with the site, anything beyond that will just be open to speculation and guessing.

I've seen some astonishing misinformation around sexual health put forward as fact on here.

Exactly my point.

I think this remains useful as a quarantine section, as it were.

In that case why is this section even here?

It’s ok to spread misinformation about Covid, but no other health issues?!

At what point did I state we should keep the virus forum?

As other's have suggested, it could be turned into a general health forum, however this would still allow folks to "advise" on subjects that should be dealt with by health professionals.

Keep the section active.

It provides a useful filter

Having a rethink about the Forum subsections is good at any point. Rather than doing it reactively, such as when a new major talking point arises, or an issue that affects swinging or general life, wanes, it seems better for this to be driven by overall needs, more objectively.

Covid has been helped by having milder variants of late. This may not be the case for some time down the line, when it may impose other issues. I'd retain it as it is, whilst we still have a substantial amount of people inactive from the workforce and society, due to ill health. Long Covid is very much a major problem for thousands, without speedy resolution.

We should continue to debate the forum subtopics overall, not just from within a part of the forum used by a tiny minority of Fab users.

Very true. And it might as well be renamed: virus & conspiracy theory section.

Always amazes me how some people just can't let others discuss what they want to discuss just because they dont want to partake.
