The Problem with Being a Sexy Blogger

So it was my intention to take June off of blogging on this site and then to resume the blog on July 1st. However some issues have come up and I haven’t quite decided how I’m going to handle them.

The main issue is that I’ve been contacted by several people who have made me somehat uncomfortable. There are apparently a number of men online who believe that by putting myself out there as someone who enjoys going to sexy activities that I’m asking them to send me lewd / suggestive emails. I don’t even consider this site a particularly “adult” site since it covers mostly art and fashion stuff and there’s no porn on it. Not to say that I’d be asking for those online come-ons if it was but I particularly didn’t expect too much of that since it’s not.

The occasional email here and there wouldn’t be so bad but there have been a couple of people who gave me some cause for concern. Since it’s fairly easy to find out information about me online, I’m reconsidering exactly what I want to be posting on this blog. I haven’t come to a final conclusion about that yet. I want to keep offering up sexy SF information since there are a lot of great readers here who seem to enjoy that info but I don’t want to put myself at risk.

I’ll be updating the blog again when I’ve decided how I want to move forward with it in light of these things.

    Hi! I completely understand your predicament. About 10 years ago I had an internet stalker who totally freaked me out, so when I decided to ‘go public’ with my erotica I actually contacted some women in the adult business and asked for advice. I’ve managed to escape a lot of the wierdness now because I’ve kept email addresses and personal information as completely separate as I possibly can. If you want to talk about what its like being a woman talking about sex online, or want some pointers on how to preserve your anonymity, feel free to contact me.

    So sorry to hear about all the bad attention. Nothing worse than an unsolicited cock-photo in your inbox. I’ve just discovered your blog and, as a fellow San Francisco writer, am eager to see it continue and participate in the good fun. Good luck with the Crazy,

    Yes, that’s a problem. You’re going to be hassled a bit. Don’t let it get to you, and don’t be a wuss about dealing with it.

    Talk to Erika about this. She’s put herself out there, has had this happen, and can deal with jerks effectively. Of course, she has the intimidation advantage of being a tall redhead.

    Meanwhile, check out “Wicked Grounds”, the new kinky coffeehouse (!) on 8th between Folsom and Howard.
