Yesterday while approving about a weeks worth of comments I was struck by what we have managed to create here in this little corner of the online world. It's certainly not my creation alone, whatever credit is due must rightly be shared with those who link to this blog, those who read it, and those who comment upon its entries.
Let's be perfectly frank with ourselves for a moment. This blog could be nothing more than another dull sex blog, drowned among the millions of other adult themed blogs out there. I could write of bdsm and fetish ad nauseum, showing nothing of myself but that of a bitch with a whip. You, my readers could come here each week, become aroused, leave, neither learn nor teach.
That is not though what we have created here. I think that working together we have created something extremely unique, something that we can each be proud of.
It's an adult blog, without question. Hopefully it is arousing at least part of the time, and hopefully it opens new erotic ways of thinking and being for each of us. I will certainly continue to post about sensual topics, fiction and non-fiction, for that is the core of this blog.
It's more than just an adult blog though. Witness recent discussions in the comment sections of posts such as Boeing, Not In Seattle and much older posts such as Global Warming, In Cooling Seattle. Long, intelligent, and respectful discussions between people who hold divergent points of view on the important issues we all face.
Let's not kid ourselves; the vanilla majority believes us to collectively be nothing more than sick perverts, morons intent upon destroying an idealized and fantasized Judeo-Christian culture. We know that not to be true, but just another sex blog certainly would not show that to not be true. This blog, I believe, does.
This blog, through your interaction with it, shows us to be much more than the vanilla world would perceive us to be. For that, I think, each and every one of us should be proud.
