Concerns

This blogging thing will get personal, and steamy, but I have a lot of thinking to do.

Living in the buckle of the Bible Belt leaves little room for anything other than complete anonymity, and while my experiences are limited, they do involve other people whose lives could be negatively impacted by what I write here. I'm kinky, and while I don't see a problem with it, local culture seems to think that any kinkster embodies the purest of evils. If supposed kinkster makes it out of a religious intervention alive without at least one attempt at being exorcised or converted, well they are one lucky individual. People who aren't monogamous and heterosexual and therefore 'different' are stigmatized to the point where you travel in tight circles, unable to trust just about everyone.

I will absolutely conceal their identities as much as possible, aliases and limited personal information are a given, but I'm not sure that's enough and that's a struggle for me. I've heard stories of blogger-drama and outings and would much rather stay out of it. If someone ever does care enough to read my blog and get offended, I want the lash-back on me, the responsible party, not my friends and acquaintances. Even though I've asked if I can mention certain people in detail, I can't be sure that they fully understand the gravity of public opinion if things do turn sour. Rednecks are ignorant, with deep-roots in both stigma and hypocrisy, and you simply can't stop stupid. 

Granted, the chances are slim to none, but knowledge is power. If someone knows that I love nipple torture, both giving and especially receiving, I could care less. But would the other party involved care that their participation is not only public, but that they've been identified?

Something to think about. Because even though this is the internet, it involves real people.
