Relationship & Sex Blog Opt-On

[eredien]

I had started thinking about keeping a relationships and sex blog before rax 's and my recent breakup, and have now decided that it is more important than ever for me to start one.

I realize that to some of you the idea about blogging (rather than simply privately journaling) about relationships and sex may seem crass or too uncomfortably open, and I have to say that while I do not agree with your opinion--I think a blog, any blog, can be a tool for both private and public conversation and reflection in a way that a private journal cannot be--I don't want people who won't want to read about things that will make them uncomfortable to feel like the idea of my writing about this stuff was going to be sprung on them. So, I'm going to keep this post up top for several weeks, so people can really give consideration to whether they want to be on my new relationships and sex blog friends-list, or not.

I will probably start writing in said blog later today.

Please comment below if you would like to opt-ON to the friends list for the new blog. Otherwise, you will not be on it.

You can also ask questions, etc.

Thanks!

I'm comfortable if you're comfortable.

Opting

[thomasyan.livejournal.com]

If you're comfortable with me being on it, I would like to opt in.

[tixen.livejournal.com]

I'd like to read it, if you're comfortable with that.

I enjoy reading about relationships and people's opinions of relationships, but less so about sex (not a squick thing, just not as interesting to me). If you think the blog will be more relationships than sex (or at least sex in the context of relationships), I'd like to be on it, if you're comfortable with me reading it.

[eredien]

I can't tell you how often it might be about sex vs relationships. I don't separate out those things in my head so well because I think that sex is a relationship with yourself as well as those around you.

However, if you are comfortable being on I will add you.

What everybody else said - I'd like to read it if you're cool with that.

[ckd]

As with others, I'm interested but only if you're comfortable with me reading it. (Which, given this invitation, I suspect you are--but best to be clear anyway.)

[weirdquark]

I'd like to be in.

[wormulus.livejournal.com]

I'd love to read if you were down with me reading it.

[trifles.livejournal.com]

We'd like to opt-in to the sex blog. We don't post often these days, but we still read. You have all our love and support.

[eredien]

Thank you.

[jadia.livejournal.com]

I'm interested.

[rivenwanderer.livejournal.com]

I'd like to opt-in; I'd appreciate lj-cuts for both sex (in case I'm at work) and angst (in case I'm already over my angst quota for the day), but I can deal if you don't want to cut them.

[eredien]

I put the "click for explicit content" thing on; will that do? I don't really always want to say I will want to or even remember to cut tag everything.

[davidglasser.livejournal.com]

sure, if that makes sense for you.

[kaypendragon.livejournal.com]

Opting on.

[eredien]

Yes, it is ok to decide to opt out later.

[copperwolf.livejournal.com]

I would like to opt in, for now. I may decided to opt out again later.

[gaudior.livejournal.com]

As other people said, but possibly way more so-- I'd like to be on it if you'd like me there. If not, that is totally and in all ways okay.

[fiddledragon.livejournal.com]

I would like to opt-in.

[seishonagon.livejournal.com]

I would like to be added.

[kelkyag]

As you see fit.

[eredien]

I...am not capable of making a decision for you about if you want to read this blog or not. If you want to read it, I need a "yes I want to read it." Thanks for your understanding.

[csbermack.livejournal.com]

Opting.

[ab3nd.livejournal.com]

I'm interested, so add me if you want.

Also, what does this have to do with hunting deer? Aside from not shooting females or juveniles for the continuation of the species...

[rushthatspeaks.livejournal.com]

I would like to read this, if you want me to.

[blushingflower.livejournal.com]

really, you have to ask if I want to opt in?

[eredien]

I am going to say the same thing I said to kelkyag: that I am not capable of making a decision for you about if you want to read this blog or not.

I figured that you personally would, and since you said "yes" here I put you on, but yes, I want to ask everyone, even you.

Enthusiastic (or at least clear) consent is really, really important here for me, and is a really important concept for me right now, when so much else is unclear.
