Blogging: The New Exhibitionism
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.
