Does your SO know that you post on this board? If so, does he/she read your posts? What does your SO think about your posts?

My BF knows that I come to a message board about sex, but he has never been to the ivillage boards or read anything that I have written here. I think he would probably be pleased with the glowing remarks I make about him, so I have thought about letting him in on it. However, if we were to ever experience a problem, I don't know how happy he would be about me broadcasting it here, even though it is practically anonymous.

Any thoughts on or experience with this? I was just curious.

My DH knows that I "soup." One of the first msg boards I went to was on Parent Soup for step-parenting. Then, I wandered here looking for ways to add spice and fun to the relationship. He doesn't mind. He occassionally sees what I write. He doesn't seemed bothered by it.

Well, the board isn't "practically anonymous"... it IS anonymous. We don't know your name, location, sex, marital status, nothing at all, unless you choose to disclose those things. So, people will only know as much as you choose to share.

My DH knows I post here, and have for years, but even though he thinks it's silly, he respects that I enjoy it and has no problem with it.

Really, there's no difference in sharing a personal problem on this board than sharing with a friend, except that the anonymity actually gives you more privacy!

Dh knows. Hasn't read any of it. I mention some of the topics to him.

Yeah, DW knows. She's fine with it. She's not really interested in it herself. She tells me that she's got enough going on in her life and her real friend's lives without worrying about some internet thing :-)

I occasionally read out some of the more interesting posts to her if she's around. She does wonder out aloud sometimes why on earth a guy would be interested in this board.

No he doesn't know. Our work schedules are crazy, so i usually visit here when he's not around. He knows I get information from the web, but has never asked where. So for now it's my dirty little clean secret.

My DH knows and he thinks it's dumb. But he surfs the English Football daily and I think that's dumb so I suppose we're even.

When I read an occaisional post that is worthy of sharing, he does have to put up with me saying "hey, you've gotta read this!"
