I love to Blog. Not limited to kinky sex, just about any topic that has my head at the time. A few years ago I Blogged for sanity after some uglies that cropped up in life. I learned my lesson then about too much info cause sure enough it was used against me. Now I Blog within a set of boundries that doesnt always give me the results I want. I've considered finding a Blog Spot where I can remove my self imposed limits, but the scar's of the last trip are still pretty tender and I fear my writing style would be noticed leaving me wide open for a new attack. sigh, so now I'm stuck with 360 and MySpace.

I blog every day. It is a requirement of my Dom. It is for his eyes only. Rarely is it about sex. Often it is about life, in general, my struggles in specific. I love words and writing and I enjoy writing to him, in that format, every day, whether I have something important to say or just stream-of-consciousness release. I know that I can blog and say anything. Yes, anything. He reads it, sometimes he comments, sometimes he doesn't. Sometimes when I think I'm not saying much he will pull things out and make me look at them closer. I find blogging to be therapeutic for me, and it's a safe place where I can be sad or happy or silly.

I have a blog... The people who read it are mostly friends... and people I don't get to see or talk to on a regular basis... It's good cuz I can let them know what's going on in my life, and not pay for long distance on the phone...

I never mention the lifestyle... or anything that personal anyways... it's generally just random bitching or links to cool sites I've found... lots of funny stuff...

I blog vociferously on a political site, with my real name and no reference to anything about my sexuality ever. In real life I end up defining myself by my blogging activities quite a bit--more than I'd like to admit. But it really feels like it makes a difference. I've had a couple of politicos e-mail me about my bloggings so I do know that they are read beyond just the bloggers and I think it is a really exciting medium that is restructuring political power in this country in a way I find very positive. But I'd never want to link my blogging with wiitwd.

And then I have a long, password protected document in word that has all those feelings I might put in a journal (or a blog), but don't feel like writing out by hand and would never want anyone else to see. I could never publish those personal musings, but I like being able to right them down for me and me only. My Dom let's me to keep that private, even from him, because he and I have really good communication. He knows that once I figure something out, I will bring it to him, so he let's me do that in my way and my timeframe.

I think there is a huge generational gap with blogging. Most people my age and older (I'm in my mid-30s) want some semblance of privacy. Most people younger than me don't have much of an interest in privacy. I'd love a constitutional amendment guaranteeing a right to privacy, but I think most younger people would rather have a right to celebrity than privacy. It is a really interesting shift.

I agree ... VERY WELL SAID

I do on livejournal and yes it has been use against me, especially by my ex and ex-good friend, hence why it is friends only now, and no do not really write out my sexual life mainly because it is non-existant either, nor is it on hiatus as I never had one.

I used to blog daily for one I was involved with. He was the only one that read it.
I'm no longer in that relationship and find that now I only blog occasionally when I have the need to work things out in my head.

I love to blog. I have 3 accounts on LiveJournal; one for vanilla, one for my novelist pseudonym and one of course for LadyMorgynn. I record my thoughts and musings in there, not generally life events. I don't think I've written about sexuality, mostly because I haven't lately had any musings worth recording on the subject, I tend to write about things as they come up. If I start musing about my sexuality, doubtless I'll put it in my journal :)

I don't blog for others to read (except my novelist one). I journal for ME.... sometimes I think better in the process of writing things down (I'm more of a visual type), and it helps me to get those thoughts down and organized where I can see them. And it's a nice surprise if someone happens to read and comment, but that doesn't happen too often. Which doesn't matter, because I'm doing it for me :)

It's been interesting to hear how and why people blog, both privately and publically.

I don't even feel a desire to write a diary.

diamonddreamlove....I understand what you mean about clarifying your feelings, with writing. I don't seem to need to do it that way but I am a writer and use my feelings in my writing.

sub4hire....I am also quite a private person, much MORE so now than I was when I was younger. I also kept a diary for the whole year 1977, I was 19 yrs old and I still have it. It was a VERY detailed and intimate diary and it's a snapshot of *me* at a certain time...I find it extremely uncomfortable reading it now because I wouldn't behave or bear many things that I did then and I almost want to scream at myself. It's illuminating to see the thought processes that I was going through though and how much effort I put into sorting my thoughts and feelings out.

I asked my young sons about blogging; the 14 yr old said that he blogs in My Space and has poetry and writings in his. He said that lots of school friends blog and that the girls tend to write about their *problems and upsets* quite a lot..lol. It's like an *outside of school* place where they share all sorts of things.

I can't envisage a time when I'd blog....it's not for me. It seems that people find it fun and useful, though. This has been an enlightening thread.

I enjoy blogging and have a Live Journal and a 360 that I mostly use.
There are certain things that I don't put in the blogs, but instead use a private journal for.
I work through things in my blogs and rant when the mood strikes, or write about my day or whatever.
It helps me a lot dealing with things to do that. I don't blog everyday but still fairly regularly. It's been a positive thing for me.

    I journal online & have done so for quite some time. Before that it was all handwritten. There are so many reasons that I journal I'm not sure I could even list them all lol.
    The primary reason I journal now is to keep track of things in my life. I use my journal as a medical record, an emotional record and for my friends to read so that they are aware of what is going on with me even when I can't verbalise it to them. I began writing strictly for myself until I realised that it is an easy and convienent way for long distance friends to stay in my life. I do not write FOR them but they are all free to read it. Some of the input I have received from both friends and strangers alike have had a strong impact on me.
    My journal gave me the strength to divorce my husband. It keeps me on track with my medications and diet/exercise. It gives me a place to write things I need to think about, things that I need to face.
    Yes I also write of my sexuality there, again that is for me not to titillate readers but as a learning process and a way of remembering things.
    I guess my journal is a combination blackberry/diary/schedule and life in general.
