Should there be a separate Forum for Sex Play/Talk? [View all]

I've been noticing a lot of discussion on sexual issues here recently.. Don't know if it's seasonal or trendy now? Lot's of subject headings decrying or defending something related.

Seems like there should be a separate Forum for this, like Religion, Guns etc.

Just curious, anyone else think the same?
