Blogging, and who visits
I use Statcounter on my blogs to randomly waste time to see where visitors to my blog come from. I am really, really skilled at randomly wasting time, especially when I've got a lot of work to do that I don't enjoy. My sex blog is definitely what you would call erotic, certainly not something to be enjoyed by ultraconservative people. I describe trying out something that is still on the books in certain states as being illegal (even though the Supreme Court has finally invalidated those laws, against the protest of the 3 most conservative judges and right-wing religious groups). Yet, my sex blog has had visitors who come from such sites as:
Are these visitors getting to my blog from the "next blog" link? Probably so, but it had me thinking about who visits my blog. Ithink know there are a lot of hypocrites in this world. I don't mind when people are genuinely religious, but I really despise hypocrisy from those who speak so loudly about their beliefs, yet sneak around doing everything they say is so bad. I believe in all probability there are those who visit my blog and "enjoy it," but who publicly decry such smut. I despise this type of hypocrisy even more than the genuinely religious people who try to force everyone to live by their particular dogma - by whatever means including political, and I am not too fond of those people, believe me. Hypocrites rank just above rapists, murderers, and child molesters to me.
Mind you, I have nothing against religious people. Practice your religion. Believe your religion. Find comfort in your religion. And, please, live by your religion if you claim to do so. I may not share your views, but I do respect people who really live their own personal life by their principles.
I also noticed some visitors from countries such as Kuwait, where I have a feeling that a woman blogging about what I blog about is not that acceptable. That person may desire more sexual freedom, or that person may condemn it, meanwhile getting off on it.
I am a bit of a cynic sometimes.

- several super-pro-Bush-very-religious personal blogs (Praise God & Bush)
- Kudlow's Money Politic$ (economics aside, he stands for "values")

Thanks for the comment! I figure most people who enjoy what I write are likewise open-minded, but the cynical part of me just had to rant. You just know that some of the anti-smut people are getting off on erotica & porn in private - and it really irks me, as you can probably tell! I think it's one of the problems with our society when it comes to sex - we really don't acknowledge that we are sexual beings, and there is a wide spectrum of behavior that is normal.
I found my way from your "other" blog as well. And I really enjoy this one, too. Very considerate and intelligent. Good reading, no ranting at all.
And while I'm at it: Your "Awakening" is such an amazing story and beautifully written. Was about time I got that off my chest :)
Thanks for sharing!
