RHP forums: The Year in Review.

December 22 2013

It's a busy place these forums. A lot goes down. Highlights, lowlights, connections, conflicts. What have been your most favourite and least favourite events on the forums? I am lucky, I have managed to see the year through without being roasted beyond recognition. The detective work with google reverse images has been both fucking hilarious and equally disquieting. StSinners thread being pulled and his exit stage left was the lowlight for me. Highlights is always someone bearing their soul, and offering deep insights into just what it is to be human, and the amazing support shown by fellow forumites. There have been some amazing threads like this. An encouraging take home quote this year for me by (sorry, I forgot) was "A ship is safe in the harbour, but that's not what ships are for". Have a great Chrissy everyone, & thanks to all for hanging out here. 😊

    contributions from Chev have been entertaining. I miss Tuscan's posts.

    Tuscan leaving as well..My other lowlight would be the constant pulling of threads and posts..A highlight would be making some actual friends in real life through the forums.

    very mediocre year on the forums. Whats with all the topics that have absolutely nothing to do with sex, relationships & adult fun??? Seriously , this is an adult site (*note I did not say sex site) if you really want to post twaddle about anything that is not related to adult fun, jump onto your facebook page or some other bland forum. At times this place could be re-named The old farts chat line.....most of that coming from those many years younger than me.

    and have found the forums to be hilarious entertaining and tear jerkingly sad, sometimes in the one thread. I always seem to find something in each thread that teaches me something, opens my eyes to a different way of thinking or broadens my knowledge and for that I am grateful.Thanks to everyone that contributed, posted, stalked and lurked. (I have done all of these to)

    Is a good one for me. It means I am ALIVE! I think there has been some amazing threads including St Sinners and I was very sorry to see that pulled. I have been touched by the honesty of so many posters. I was thrilled by the response to So How Sexy Are You for both the comments where people admit they struggle and the ones that highlighted positive actions to help oneself appreciate their own sexiness. The less enjoyable aspect of the forums is the constant and, IMO, unnecessary debates about whether its a sex site or an adult site. Sure some topics are bland and then you get the ones that teach you something or make you laugh or really make your heart sing because people have opened their souls, shown great compassion, shown their capacity for deep and enduring love and stood up for justice.

    Mmmmm, will need to put hand up & acknowledge impact of some posts we made which were confrontational & not a representation of the "true" us. Thoughts ran away with each keyboard stroke & admittedly the knowledge a very real person or persons were on the receiving end did at times escape us. Not proud of this & we sincerely the roastings we received when this was done resonated more with the members reading the thread than anything we had added at that time. Highlights are the humble realisation of the vast difference of opinions people have despite age, sexual orientation & social placement. We have seen that we are all just doing & being the best we can. We each have experiences & backgrounds which are unique to us. Frustration towards this is not productive nor is it contributing to a positive or open mind & attitude. Education & discussion on equal terms are the only things that will link us to bond & then continue in our individual journeys. Oh! Nearly forgot!..... The pulling of threads & the disappearance of subjects which have not been inflammatory or abusive but instead were honest, vulnerable or echoed members thoughts & feelings ticked us off. Rules are rules though, we all have the choice to either play this game or move on. Merry Christmas everyone, hope Santa is good to each & everyone of you & we wish you joy plus funkiness in 2014!

    I'm fairly new. Some of the forums have made me realise that it is okay to ask what I think might be a silly question and some have made me laugh so hard that I've practically peed my pants. Some have made my eyeballs bleed. On some of the lonelier nights it has been a great form of entertainment, but has shown me that I'm not alone in my outlook on life. There are some great people on here, and it is good to take a break from the real world for a while.

    Quoting 'Mischeviouslad' Did you seek permission to post this from Chev & OBB (version 2)?! LOL - Posted from rhpmobile Bahahaha Obbi version 2 I like it.For me it has been a year of ups and downs. I am actually grateful for the massive ass kick and head slaps I have received, pulling me back into line. It was something I really needed. It gave me a lot to think about, and cleared my vision so that I could reassess myself. Had fun and hope that I won't need others to keep me in line again, but I realise that if needed the RHP community will get out it's adjustment bar and begin realigning me if required. So thank you to those who did so, you know who you are.Good luck and good hunting in 2014.Obbi"Dad, what's the blow-hole for?" "I'll tell you what it's not for, son.

    But the one that I still get a grin from being vilified by a lurker (fake profile?) for a couple of threads I started earlier in the year. Not so many lowlights but I was just connecting, in a meaningful way, with Meeka's Strapon when the profile was closed.

    I believe we are all a bunch of spirits, sitting around trying to act like humans would. (Humane) In spirit, we have different ideas of exactly how that may be, to be humane. The banter Truth be had of it, our spirits (us) have been arguing the topic for how far can you humanly stretch imagination , each version can be funny as fuck, out-rite preposterous, not a bad idea even familiar. Have been doing this forever as free spirits, this time humane being most part of the conversations. Well we, mine and my solemate as Tara's spirits, have drifted in to this year and a bit, to sit at the table with all you spirits, because we like to think and believe talking dirty, thinking about making it filthy dirty sex to what could be tolerated, to be amusing and extremely imaginative. (Actually feels pretty good to have a physical fuck, human bodies are cool) In good spirit, we have even tried some of these funny and sexy silly ideas. Most if not all here have tried out some of these versions of what fucking is, otherwise we are all happy to converse, through thoughts to it all. Sharing this with all you good spirits, is just destiny and we're making it happen so it is, bullshit matters. Well I for one, (as Tara doesn't seem to care), think bullshit matters, respectfully (ively,able and ed), to those who also believe in it and to it's honesties. We can thank RHP for airing, the "Art of bullshit", as being something "significant and magnificent" RHP have actually made it quite comfortable as a place to argue ideas, such for other versions!?, pieced in the gallery to the art form. RHP have given us "scrolling" to search and research all the unique contributions as a collection of bullshit artists for those who admire the diversity to it. So Unrushed, the highlights with all the honest and respectable bullshit with banter, is way up there. Along with some of the truths to the spirit for feeling humane, as it helps the sexual beings to flourish. Some more flourished than others? Mado Mado Tara xx

    I think the threads being pulled was a low. however I think it's wonderful that we all at varying stages have shown our love for RHP's Rebecca, Merry Christmas to you and the RHP Mods and Event/Marketing Team Members. Highs, Surlurks Positive Reinforcement Thread, it's still a favourite. Making so many forumite friends AND getting to meet some of you very soon!! Lol the support for my Brissy Drinks night being given by the out-of-staters and subsequently it's success and the ongoing friendships developed there with Foxy, Freya, HP, Funlover, Subby (God Bless her!) and new friends Rob_Ally. RHP also gave me a wonderful non-sexual friend who I will be moving in with andwhom has become like the big brother I always wanted. He was my chaperone in Brisbane and man can he do a sexy arse wiggle or what!! Provocativeminx, Kale and JayJay two of the most beautiful women inside and out and people I admire and respect. Mado n Tara for just being beautiful together. Ms Mes and Meeka and Paint_Me "Sisters of the Hood@ watching over and tending the flock. Luckydragon for allowing a kindness and the opportunity to share some joy, can't wait for our flight down to Sydney and trip to the Zoo. I have a man handy with a camera lined up....JayJay knows him :). Wingman for being the piss in my pants......you are such a special person and friend; warts and all. Awesome, Inspirit, Ding, EB, sunny sassy Litonya, Wildsong and the newbie Ladies Looking4, Loveinit, Missb and so many others (I know I'll be cranky for having not mentioned you) make thisplace very humane. The RHP men, Kizza and Honky; the Union of Men thread and our sparring back and forth I like to think brought plenty of smiles for the participants and lurkers alike. Viva el Presidente' and his Puppeteer.....I so love you both for that!! Funlover, HP, Mr Green, Jay_Me, Unrushed and you always you DG, truly spectacular specimens of masculine perfection (flaws and all) sexy sexy sexy. Lol. The Exit With Grace thread Kale posted after one of our D&M's was also very special for me on self-reflection. The whole year has been and the Masochistic Equilibrium thread. There is one other here who has shared my year on RHP a little less up close and personal but still at my side.....you and I have had a pretty interesting year together. Crops on Valentine's Day, taking on a brief job where you were "the boss" and hearing what staff had to say about you, wine tasting appreciation lessons, attempting to find a couple to play with, letting the Green Fairy have her wicked way, Bondage fun, breaking furniture and leaving welts and hair everywhere, Cooking together (my favourite) in and out of the kitchen, your guitar playing and our singing. Our awkward moments and the laughter that followed and the (dare I say) "chemistry" and connection we seem to share. You left me for asking you to love me in your heart somewhere.....and I let you go as I promised I would and I forgave you for that when you came back to me equally parched and the terms of our contract were re-negotiated. I know I'm not allowed to say it and I know it'll freak you out knowing how I feel but love comes in many forms my "closed book, full fat yoghurt loving vanilla ice-cream eating friend. YOU have been the highlight of my year Lover. I know you don't want me to say it and I know you never will but "I love you" you have earnt my trust, my friendship and my loyalty and no matter what, if you ever need me, truly need me.....I'm there. Your gift to me woukd be being able to say the same (gentle wistful smile) Merry Christmas everyone I hope that your Xmas is magical and there aren't too many lumps of coal in your stockings!! (Which are only diamonds in the rough anyway :)) much love ~ Indagine On Safari (aka Your Miss G)

    I am not a great contributor on here, but I do read them most days. Some are sad, hilarious, ambiguous, rude and downright offensive at times. Started reading them regularly because of Tuscan's posting and replies. She was by far the most prolific writer, the funniest and often most informative. I miss her posts, as does everyone. Some of the people on here act like they are royalty and appear condescending. Others show humility, compassion and humour. The subjects have been extremely informative for me and I have learnt many things, even that my feet are the same length as my forearm, lol. I am wiser about many things, sex and human nature mostly. For a mature woman I have been quite naive. Do not mean to offend anyone, but the question was asked.

    Whether threads have been done many times before or its a first it shouldn't matter. The forum is here to ask and learn, and ive learnt a hell of a lot of things I had no idea about (including music to get one in the mood...lol). Every person has their experiences and Ive seen posts where you read what may have saved one person's life could save another's life. Its opened my eyes up to topics and situations of abuse and illness, its like a reality check. You get posts and topics that crack you up when you've had a bad day... For me keep it as is. You don't need to read or write on posts you don't want to. But I like the fact the opportunity is there, well for the topics not deleted. - Posted from rhpmobile

There is so much to the forums in so many wonderful ways, and in so many down to Earth ways, haha and in below the belt ways I suppose. :-D There is a lot to be gotten out of our forums, and it really is up to us, imo. Inside the limits set by RHP of course.

    Highlights: the freedom the forums offer, for people to learn about, ask about and write about whatever's on their mind; discovering some deep and thoughtful people whose posts I thoroughly enjoy reading; learning more about the vast and often astonishing world of human fornication. Lowlights: all the condescension and belittling of others - no secret there, I've been pretty open about my view; threads being pulled (how ridiculous!); losing StSinner's thread - such a vulnerable post in a topic few people would be so brave to fess up to

    I haven't been a visitor on the forums for the full year, only for a few months really. I've actually been a member of RHP for many years, but always managed to get stuck into the chatrooms on a more regular basis previously and had exchanges there with many members, and never really worried about the forums previously. Don't know why that changed this year, but I'm happy that it did. A different set of people here, many willing to put forward varying ideas and express their views (sometimes quite passionately), and open to respond to the quests of others without recourse. I've observed many different personalities here, which in itself has been quite interesting to me - just to watch how some interact with others. There are some who happily write volumes, either as forum subjects, or in reply to same, and others who are happy to just put down the bare basics. I suspect there are also a good many who are equally just as happy to watch proceedings from the sidelines, with perhaps the occasional comment.I can't say much about the quality of the forums this year, as I have not been part of this scene for a long enough period, but do share the sentiments with some of those expressed already, such as the continual pulling of postings, which I gather from the various comments has been a big problem moreso this year, and the leaving of some of the regular forumites who have decided to give this part of their life a break for a while. I hope that whilst these loved personalities enjoy their time away, that they will rejoin us again to regail us with further interests at a later time.In the meanwhile, I am looking forward to see more of the inner workings of our minds and thoughts on many subjects that we can conjure up in the year ahead of us. Hopefully it will prove to be at least as insightful for me as it has been over these last few months, and that we all can enjoy more of one anothers company through our collective provoking inquiries.May you all enjoy a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, with your loved ones and friends and may you all travel safely into the New Year. Best Wishes,Tall

Overall this hasn't been the best year for me, but posting on here has led to me meeting some wonderful people, some of whom I was able to meet in Melbourne a few months ago (along with having some fantastic sex adventures ). Now I am so looking forward to meeting many more of you awesome people next month in Sydney. In particular I have to give special thanks to Indy, Stir, Jay Jay, and Meeka for their generosity, without which I wouldn't be able to make the Sydney trip . Thankyou all, and best wishes for a wonderful Christmas and New Year

    I have only been reading and occasionally posting on the forums and personally have not had any lowlights... Twinges, learning curves, revelations and then even more learning curves I have experienced. However, what I have received from the forums is a feeling of acceptance, understanding and most of all the bonding that has occurred, between forum participants and even in some cases myself. I am TRUELY grateful for my time of learning.

    Highlights for the year for me would definitely be the Positive Reinforcement thread from Lurk and meeting a number of forumer's in person at the meet and greet (and so looking forward to Jan). The union thread was also pretty funny as well as was the prolific anything and everything. Usually pick up a few new things to try or learn something new so thanks everyone Low moment would be without question the pulling of threads.

    I read a lot of posts on various topics here and have commented on a few. Sometimes it has been frustrating as to how far off the topic things go, but having said that, this has been when it has often been most educational - if not actual fact, but how people think and fee about a topic. I've not always agreed with people's views, but that's what keeps the world refreshing and causes me to look at why I have the opinion I have. If there are only couple things that have frustrated me, and they're is very minor. One is the comments that a topic has been done before. As someone who has only recently got into reading the threads on here and there are new people joining all the time, it give them and me an opportunity to experience and comment on these things to.... also life is a journey and I would hope that I grow along that journey and that my thoughts and views change with new experiences. So revisiting some topic from time to time lets us all reflect again and the new people tell us what they think, which can only be good. The other thing is the times of personal attacks on here I've seen (and they are few).... I may not agree with someone, but I value them as a person and there right to have a completely different view me... even when I don't understand it and it doesn't make any sense to me. I'm a product on my experiences (good and bad) and they are of theirs. I look forward to 2014 and what may come up on here and finding out what people think. I also look forward to some topic cropping up again and seen where new people take our journey. All the best for the season to all and my you all be shaped by new and exciting experience in the year to come. Brad
