No one is policing anyone in their homes. We're trying to explain how this slice of city life works and that meganew isn't in the wrong for not wanting her child to get a T&A show from his bedroom window.
FFS. Except I've said like 3-4 times I ALSO don't think she's wrong AND I've said 3-4 times what I think she can DO about it.
The only thing I've said is that I don't think the lady is wrong. Or a fucking pervert, or that she's doing it intentionally.
It is policing a person's body to go over to their house and tell them how to behave in their own home, in regards to their body, so that YOU can be comfortable in yours--I don't care if you think it's not. It is. It's not even subtle. Especially since multiple people even mentioned that it might be illegal, a law was thrown out and people seriously mentioned calling the cops. ALL OF THAT ::WAVES ARMS:: IS POLICING. THATS THE DEFINITION OF IT.
Girl trust, no one is calling Philly PD over this.
Maybe it hasn't been made clear, but things work differently here. We don't call the cops over this shit, but we also don't have time for Ashley's nightly neighborhood nip and bush show. Keep it behind your blinds, Ashley.
I found the masturbation comment especially uncomfortable
:::sigh:: I have to go and do other things so I can't keep doing this, but is it that surprising that you found it uncomfortable? You are clearly uncomfortable about sex. You believe the woman is a "pervert," so it's going to be easy for you to paint me that way too. You can stop with that--and you can stop trying to flip it around that I'm "the lady in the window" or some other nonsense.
I have said over and over that I agree with Meg, that it's weird and and there are things she can do about it in her own home--like seriously I've never said anything about not doing anything about it or shielding her son's eyes or innocence.
But no, I think the lady should be able to dance naked in her house too--I think Meg can tell her it bothers her, she can ask her to stop. She can buy her blinds! The lady can ignore all that if she wants.
Yeah, I don't think I'm uncomfortable with sex. I'm uncomfortable with you making that comment about my child. If it was a broad "kids that age might be exploring themselves" then whatever- but it was a graphic comment referencing my actual, specific child. And think I'm a prude all you want, but it didn't sit right with me. So please, go do all the other things you have to do. For the love of God.
Guys, all this pervert talk is reminding me of the Swiss cheese pervert times. Remember, meganew , Eagles , W.T.Faulkner et al?!
For those of you who are unfamiliar, Christopher Pagano, aka the Swiss Cheese Pervert, was arrested for exposing himself to women while asking if he could pay them to watch him rub cheese on his genitals.
This story, among hundreds of others, is why the Philadelphia Police couldn’t even dream of answering Meg’s call about her neighbors.
Who was the PCE poster who was really sex positive and very knowledgeable about sex work?
I honestly don't remember her name at this point. Just that she got fed up and started blasting us on twitter. LOL!
I remember this and yet I couldn’t for the life of me remember the name either and it was going to keep me up at night. Then I remembered google is a thing and I think it was bunnybean? I say I think because there are so many deleted posts/usernames in the threads.

No, not bunnybean. She was ran off due to antisemitism and the one time a real life pedo found the board and she wanted to have a convo with him.

That’s what I thought. I didn’t feel that instant YES THAT’S IT!! when I saw her name pop up in the threads. I’ll keep digging so I can go to sleep lol.

Honestly, this isn’t even in the top 10 of weird philly shit. But that was really really funny.

Gah, yes. My forking neighbor thinks I’m going to call the cops on his car parked in a no parking zone because I answered his aggressive “am I going to get a ticket?” with “maybe.” Because maybe the PPA will ticket you. I don’t care either way. Who is calling the police? No one. We all have other things to do.

After 7 pages, I am just over here stunned that referencing someone's child graphically didn't get an automatic boot. Your response was great, meganew. I'm not a prude either and I live in the city, but what you are describing would not be okay in my neighborhood either. Being aware of your window coverings is like the 1st thing we think about!
This thread does remind me that next time I'm in Philly, I need a board happy hour/gtg because y'all are the best.
Ahh this thread makes me want to live in Philly so badly. I love New York, but the chaos of Philly is so compelling.
Move to the Bronx!
In the Bronx there wouldn't be all this consternation about how to handle it and talking to your neighbor. Close the blinds in your kids room and boom- problem solved.
Ohhhh Boner 4ever. Remember when news broke that the building was going to be rehabbed/torn down and the city list it’s shit that the Boner 4Ever tag would be lost? We fought to KEEP a huge graffiti tag that reads “Boner 4Ever” down the entire side of a building. Goddamn I love this city.
So, is this where I share that the new house we're *fingers crossed* buying, has a large balcony off the master and DH's first comment was "this would be a great place to mount a sex swing? There ARE pre-installed tracks for curtains though...
ETA: Apparently it was not, as I posted this after only reading through page 5 or 6. And clearly things took a turn....
As the parent of an almost 9 year old boy (literally birthday is Friday), I'm really hoping we have a couple of years before we get to that stuff. Like, I know he's already been intrigued by women's breasts based off watching Christmas Vacation and The Goldberg's with him, but linking it to masturbation has NOT crossed my mind yet. DD (11) just had the puberty talk in school at the end of 5th grade, and they mentioned self exploration. He'll be in 4th this year, so I planned on sticking my head in the sand for AT LEAST another year about that.

Balcony sex is nice 😉
MH caught the neighbors having balcony sex when he let the dog out late one night and he was like ope, sorry 😂

That is the most Midwestern thing I’ve heard in a long time 😂
