I agree with Tamar as well.
It may not be a perfect arrangement for everyone, but we do post lot of different kind of stuff here that are difficult for many people to take. If everyone has to post what readers like, then babble simply won't be what it is now - a great supportive place. We talk about abuses, suicide triggers, rapes etc - so why shouldn't we allow jokes about our Ts? (however explicit they may be)
But to not offend people, just put a little T trigger, and people who get offended can stay off of it.
I personally, don't like to joke about my T in very explicit ways. I don't joke like that about anyone - not alone my T. But it is my personal preference, and I have absolutely no problem with people posting what they want about their Ts. It is true, that sometimes I find the jokes little offensive and kind of reduces the sanctity of the T-client relationship, and for that matter, the sanctity of any man-woman relationship, but everyone has their own way of working through their issues, and there is no right or wrong in these things. So if a person doesn't like what is posted, staying away from that thread would be the best thing to do. And posters can post Trigger warnings.
