Why We Do It, Why We Do It the Way that We Do
Audacia Ray wrote a pretty inspired analysis of sex blogging, as opposed to blogging in general.
She wrote it in response to an article by another writer who believes that blogging is waning since the advent of social services like MySpace.
Audacia, by contrast, suggests that sex blogging is what it is, already, and for several reasons believes that it will continue in its current form for some time to come.
What I like about the post was that it wasn't trying to make any sort of gendered analysis. It was more of a nuts-and-bolts list of reasons why "anonymous" blogging is appealing and why most people who blog in this format aren't suddenly turning into webcam operators or doing podcasts.
I chose this outlet for my expression because I saw it being done, very well, by others. There is certainly an illicit thrill to be had. I have blogged from my home, from Metro Transit buses, from hotel rooms and lobbies, from my mother's computer, from my Treo cell phone and my laptop and from most every place I have worked since 2002.
In a very anti-social way, it makes me feel connected to a community. This has always appealed to me.

I, like you, feel the charge of the illicit thrill. Eroticism makes its own demands. For me the mystery, the anonymity is part of the seduction.
Here's to our anti-social community.

Cheers!
Yes, eroticism is demanding. And thrilling. Thank the gods!
