first things first

The idea behind this site actually comes from being sick, and I don’t mean in the “fetish-gone-overboard” sense, I mean it in the sense that I was ridiculously ill, stuck in bed, feeling like my head was going to explode while my body shriveled up on itself. So, determined to keep my spirits up (and my mind off my condition), I decided to watch some DVDs. And as one movie concluded, and I still lay in bed, I found myself watching it again, only with the director’s commentary audio track. And it was great.

I was rewarded (in my loopy, bed-ridden state) with a rich, thick layer of insight. Why the director chose this specific angle, what the idea was, and how it was supposed to be conveyed. I flung myself headfirst and was immersed in motives and motivations, subtle subtext, and a deeper understanding of what was going on. And it was great.

Why not apply that same depth, the same insight and understanding to sex blogs? I’ve read countless posts where I’ve longed to hear just a little bit more. There have been numerous times I wanted to ask a question, or found myself wondering and falling deeper between the lines. So why not have the writers themselves answer some questions, shed some light, and maybe hit us with something completely unexpected?

I’d love to understand why we write what we write how we write. And it’ll be great.
