Hi.

I am glad to be doing this blog. It helps me a lot with stress and shame. It’s allowed me to sort some stuff out and honestly become a better person. It’s the only journal I’ve ever been able to keep.

Part of what keeps this blog alive is the vague sense of anonymity that pervades it. I give a lot of my life away on here. I talk about my sex life, my academic life, and get as intimate as talking about fights I get into with partners and posting pictures of my erogenous zones.

I get this question *a lot*. Or requests to meet up. Or people asking me to add them on Facebook or Twitter or all manner of social media.

And, listen, if you want the sexy to keep happening, we’ve got to keep the real life out of this. Because the patriarchy is such that if I get revealed to be expressing my sexuality on the Internet, I’ll be enduring “consequences.”

So, let’s leave some stuff to mystery. I reveal enough shit to you guys anyway.
