Should we worry about 'perverts' reading our posts?

I hope this won't be taken as a thread about a thread, although it stems from a matter that arose on another thread (look on the health threads if you want to find the post in question).

I know in advance that we will all have different views on this, but hope that we can respect each other's thoughts without any need for a bunfight grin

Concerns were raised over the wisdom of posting about an 'intimate' health concern, on the grounds that perverts might get off on it.

Personally, as we are anonymous, that thought, unpleasant as it is, doesn't really concern me. I wouldn't know, therefore I see it as unimportant.

Then I started wondering how far people's concerns stretch. For instance, there are no doubt perverts with a fetish for rubber gloves.
A lot of people have described their (anti-covid) glove-wearing practices in great detail. Are any concerned that perverts might be getting off on those descriptions?

As I said, just thought it might be interesting to generally compare our different views on this.

I agree SuzannahM very tame stuff on here for your average pervert. I have turned up some strange things as well when making completely innocent searches.

Couldn’t give a tinkers cuss ( is that not woke enough to say??? ) about any ‘perverts’ reading a post of mine - sad b@#*tards , who don’t even register on my radar.

I do not see a real problem. There are people who have a fetish about feet, but they are unlikely to be interested in a thread about bunions, or one generally about medical foot problems. The ones they will be interested in are ones that describe feet in a way to make them attractive.

I think the same will apply to threads, on piles, prolapse or anything else that is essentially practical and everyday in approach.
