I can understand why people have a lot of guilt, shame, and fear related to their sexuality specifically. In the USA especially, we’re a very sexually confused society. On the one hand we glorify sexiness, but on the other hand we tend to demonize sex, especially sex with multiple partners. What these numbers tell me is that lots of people are viewing these “taboo” posts, but relatively few are willing to admit it. It was different when the forums were active since lots of people had anonymous accounts, but in situations where people are normally posting with their real life identities such as Twitter and Google+, the feedback volume on these kinds of posts is usually lower than the traffic would suggest. So why is that? Why do people feel they have to keep such interests in the closet? What’s the big deal if it became known? For me the worst thing that happens when I blog about something controversial is that some other bloggers write critical posts about me, sharing what they dislike about me and why. Some are pretty harsh, and a few insert their creative “facts” about me that aren’t actually true. In doing this, however, they send me more traffic, and then those new visitors can read my work and decide for themselves what to make of it. I also get a few people bashing me via social media now and then, but that’s even less of a deal these days since I’ve scaled back my social media presence a lot (too burdensome to keep up with it). The best outcome, however, is that I more easily connect with people who share compatible interests. This includes my amazing girlfriend who’s ridiculously wonderful on so many levels (vegan, loves to travel, enjoys D/s play, a Trekkie, speaks French, etc). I love her immensely. So logically I see no good reason to hold back. Being criticized by people who’ve never met me isn’t a big deal. It would be much worse to hold back and miss the opportunity for some great social matches. Beyond that, I see the controversy aspect of these topics as rather silly and immature. All I’m doing is sharing alternative perspectives that I’m exploring, and it’s all 100% consensual. No one gets hurt. I hardly see this as something to be ashamed of.
