Dear Nexopia,

I have a confession to make. I recently created an account, posing as a 15-year-old girl. I didn't do this to lure people into soliciting pornography, or to fulfill some bizarre need impersonate a young woman. I did this to see what the young women of Nexopia have to deal with on a daily basis.

I see the shouts and the forum topics all the time: "Eww there are so many creeps on here?!" "Why are all these older men hitting on me?" "Why are men such pigs?" Being someone who rarely sends messages to people outside my age range (and its never of a sexual nature I assure you), I found it difficult to believe that the men on this website were that bad. That they could be the disgusting, shameless sex hounds I hear so many young women complaining about. That men in a first-world society could show such classless disregard for the respect of a young woman. I was wrong.
