[QUOTE="damieus, post: 551967, member: 4270"] I've seen this kind of thing happen in all sorts of situations for all sorts of reasons and there are a coupla things that I'd like to say about it. So you are reluctant to say anything because you don't want them to feel like they have to censor themselves around you. But isnt that exactly what you want? Isnt the whole point of the post to talk about something that you wish they had kept censored? I dunno what it is, but sex jokes to me are not usually as funny as most people seem to think they are... However, it has overwhelmingly been my experience that women tell the nastiest sex jokes, way more often than guys, and I feel uncomfortable because they are just too raunchy. Maybe that's just me though. I dont know any of the people in your group so its a little hard to give any specific advice. However, I would like to mention that guys are either vindictive sexists or they arent. You say you've been playing with these guys for a while now, you really should be able to tell whether they are sexist dickheads or not by now. Are they? If you didnt think so before then you probably shouldnt think so now. Guys arent that complicated. We arent good at subterfuge. Women see right through us unless we are professionally trained operatives of the CIA. Much more likely is that it never even occurred to them that the jokes might offend you. But if it makes you uncomfortable, by all means, tell them. They are guys. They are not just going to figure it out on their own. And don't feel bad about making them censor themselves around you. For one, its exactly what you want, for two, they won't be insulted by your request, and for three people censor themselves all the time. I tell jokes and stories to my close friends that I wouldnt even tell my brother. [/QUOTE]
