Question

Been wanting to ask this for long now.
Questions about, sexually transmitted diseases or anything related to 'intercourse' in context of biology or medicine.
Its questions that belong to biology as well as health science sections of OS, so it should be fine to ask them, right?

Answer 1

@tkhunny @e.mccormick @Preetha

Answer 2

I don't quite know what mean @Somy

Answer 3

I mean is it not okay to ask question that is about sex (in biological and medical context)

Answer 4

such as sexually transmitted diseases and so on

Answer 5

coz i know someone who got warning for this.

Answer 6

I believe it is considering that has to be a topic in biology and health science, so i don't why not...

Answer 7

yes it belongs to both subjects so it is fine

Answer 8

yeah thats what i think so i wanted to ask mods.

Answer 9

YES,
as long as such questions are asked with the intention of learning, it is totally fine to ask them!

Answer 10

thats good then :)

Answer 11

Also, it needs to be done with the use of technical terns and not the popular, vulgar ones.

Answer 12

so then
what exactly is 'with intention to learn question about stds' to you guys
coz thats unclear
+ u can have people just not understand explanations on google
or just wishing to ask bio people or med people here
so the q might just be 'what is this' or 'why is this' thats about it

Answer 13

i know someone that got suspended regarding 'std' q, and i strongly disagree with the action done there.

Answer 14

I think we, as some ordinary users, can tell if the asker really want to know more about that issue for the sake of learning, or just want to start some dirty discussions.

Answer 15

why dirty
its medicine
id understand if the talk was about 'intercourse' itself
but std are diseases, and no joke diseases, whether the question was asked with intention to learn or not to, i dont exactly see what is dirty there

Answer 16

sorry if i sound rude lol

Answer 17

Actually. If you're trying to learn about "intercourse" people will take it the wrong way then just make it dirty when the asker wasn't aiming for that. :/ Depends on who is going to comment on the biology question. ^-^

Answer 18

exactly that too

Answer 19

so you cant really judge the asker

Answer 20

Somy, Cali did not say it was dirty. They said the probam is if someone tries to make it that way. In other words, an academic discussion will not discuss certain things.

Answer 21

Well, can't you moderators take care of that specific person who is trying to change the topic to a dirtier one? :P Like, it's learning process right? For an example, you congratulate people who reach "75" smartscore. What if someone's like "Oh how come not 69?" What, you're going to ban the topic about smartscores now? :P Or am I missing the point? XD

Answer 22

yeah thats like the main problem E.m
its good to see you guys understand this issue :D
well lets hope nothing ridiculous as that happens again or so :3

Answer 23

If there is a sex ed section, someone should write a tutorial on curing phimosis.

Answer 24

@wio i guess urologist is better for this one
