I have visited it looking for some information; however, I didn't find their site very helpful. I haven't found many of the Christian sites to be helpful in dealing with sexuality.
I hate to ask what you were looking for, LOL!

For the record, TMB has a "sister site" called the-generous-wife.com and a "brother site" called the-generous-husband.com for same-gender discussions on the topics. (I know TGW has forums; I don't know if TGH does.) Apparently TGH does not. I had not heard of them so I checked it out and found no such forum.

The generouse wife and the generouse husband are mailing lists. They e-mail nifty pointers about throughout the week.
As far as the forums go, I don't like everything I see on Crosswalk either. Take good advice and pass on the rest.

I don't like or agree with everything on crosswalk either but I can stomach the conversations. There can be frank and informative discussions about the marriage bed without the XXX rating.

Just information that was not the stereotypical answers, which I haven't found to be helpful.

I did go to the site several years ago when I was engaged. I just read some articles because I wanted information. I found it very helpful. However, I didn't know they had forums until CW started referring people there, so I can't comment on them.
However, I will say that I find the idea of mixed-gender discussions of sex to be disturbing. I don't think it should be done. As to graphic content, it used to get pretty graphic here at CW. I know they kept those discussions in gender-segregated folders, but that doesn't mean people of the opposite sex weren't reading them. I remember thinking a while ago that I would never post anything intimate here just for that reason.

FYI, this is a sample of the tips from their Generous-wife mail list.
>> My husband and I tease each other saying that we've made each other "touch junkies." We really have developed the habit of touching often and it does get rather addictive. I encourage y'all to touch your husband often. Pat his arm as you walk by, hold hands when you watch TV, and generally look for opportunities to snuggle up.
... the blessing has five key elements. These five elements, blending together, can cause personal acceptance to blossom and grow in our homes today ... [one of these elements is] meaningful touch ... Gary Smalley and John Trent from their book The Gift of the Blessing <<
...as far as personal information, I don't post anything intimate on ANY site. Just good sense in this gold-fish bowl world the internet has helped build.

The Generous Wife is also a forum, where if people are uncomfortable with the mixed company sexual stuff, they can ask in a women only atmosphere. (The forums are more than just sexual topics, though.)

I used to go to that website. Hubby and I were having issues with refusing and there was a lot of threads dedicated to the subject. I tried talking with 2 good friends about it, but neither had experienced that in their marriage. I found that website (and hubby did too) to be very helpful.
All websites can be subject to people making up stories. There have been stories on here that I have often wondered about.

In fairness, I thought it important to mention that it is the FORUMS on this site where the conversation can be explicit. The articles themselves are informative. It's the discussions that are inappropriate for any married person IMO.

I use to go to this website when I was dating this Christian man who was always telling me that should we get married, I would have to do certain sex acts on a regular basis, whether I wanted to or not. So, to see if I was being a prude in not doing certain things 2 or 3 times per week that I don't like, I searched for websites that could help. I found this one. At first, I thought it was pretty good as I only read the articles. When I went to the forum, I couldn't believe some of the things that I read.
Not only were people discussing things they shouldn't have been, but they were talking about doing things that I don't believe are Godly at all. I won't go into detail, but the moderator was basically endorsing these acts. I quit going to the website.
I think it's visual porn without the pictures. God calls us to be different so if we are to talk about our 'sexual issues' with someone other than our spouse, it should be done in a private setting, not out in the open as our lost brothers/sisters do.
Instead, I would recommend the books Love Life for Every Married Couple and Intended for Pleasure, both by Dr. Ed Wheat. I think they're fabulous and they encourage couples to work out their issues together. And I think that's what God intends for married people to do.
Just my personal opinion.
