"Blogging:
The New Exhibitionism."
By Advice Diva
By now most of you have heard of the new internet
superhighway craze called blogging. If you are not the most computer
savvy person in the world, don’t worry, you don’t
have to be. Everyone is blogging these days from the techno-chic
to the cyber-geek, from the carpooling soccer mom to your own
children in grade school.
For you first timers out there, a blog is a weblog.
A weblog is an online diary or journal in which you may write
your daily thoughts and ideas in. You can decide to keep a blog
private, announce your name, let whoever you want read it or allow
only particular people to view it. There are oodles of websites
out there dedicated to servicing blogs and the majority of them
are free. You just sign up and voila: you have your very own blog
with your own web address where you can feel free to write whenever
you want and as much as you want.
Blogs are used for a variety of reasons. Scores
of small businesses are now finding blogging to be very useful
as a free form of advertising for their own company. Many people
use blogging as a convenient way of keeping a diary since they
spend so much time on the computer at work. I have bumped into
countless cubicle moaning blogs online. Aspiring writers are utilizing
weblogs as a way to show off their work and gain free critiques.
Perhaps the most interesting use of blogs, and which is by far
the most popular, would be the personal blogs of sexual orientation
and desire.
Since blogs are normally private in nature, people
are rapidly finding out that blogging is a great way to share
your dirtiest thoughts and secret fantasies with the rest of the
world. This way, people are finding it much easier to find other
like minded individuals in a very upfront way.
Most importantly, they have a new venue to express
sexual thoughts openly, without being censured and without feeling
vulnerable. These weblogs are usually very private with only an
email address so that interested viewers can contact them. Some
do not even include an email address but have an online chat box
installed instead for even more privacy. Most all weblogs have
the ability for any reader to post a response to a particular
blog entry online. With all of this confidentiality, the once
shy and lonely individual feels more willing to come out of the
closet and be a shameless exhibitionist of sex and promiscuity.
People now have a way to articulate themselves sexually even if
they are the sheltered type.
Some webloggers create sites to explain their
sexual curiosities. Some dictate their favorite wild and crazy
fantasies. Others even go so far as to post nude and erotic pictures
of themselves alone or with partners. Much of the time, you come
across the usual gratuitous pornography.
Absolutely anything goes on your own online blog.
There is no censorship and no mediator telling you what you can
and cannot write. I came across a fabulous personal blog recently
written by a very young and very beautiful woman. Her blog became
a source of power for her. She is a dominating sort of woman who
enjoys being a master to her male slaves. In her blog, she assumes
the role of a Goddess and encourages very submissive males to
beg for her affections and even send her gifts. And with the sexy
revealing pictures she likes to post, her response is phenomenal.
She might not have been able to express this sexual nature so
powerfully without the help of the blog, especially at such a
young age.
I can feel you asking now, “Is this a good
thing”? The answer is: Absolutely! The more you are able
to express yourself (in any sphere of interest), the better you
can express yourself to others.
Many people fear expressing their sexual thoughts
and ideas to others thereby preventing their own true happiness.
The desires stay bottled up with nowhere to go. These blogs provide
a way for the inhibited person to say what they really want to
say. Once they can get it out somewhere, even if it is written
online, they stand a better chance of relating these ideas to
other people.
