I actually wouldnt mind more contact really. Based on hits and things, you would think more people wouls buck up and want to communicate with you, but I think some fear that we’re intensely personal creatures.

There is one thing that all sex-bloggers have in common; a need to share and a need to connect on the subjects we write about and the photography we indulge in.

Love the post, great reasons. (:
