Starting a blog is an idea that always excites a budding or would-be writer. We all have that basic urge to leave our thoughts inscribed somewhere for posterity, an instinct akin to the one that also drives the sexual libido - at least in part, - the primordial necessity to procreate.

Nature of porn blogging: Consider your audience
Starting a blog is an idea that always excites a budding or would-be writer. We all have that basic urge to leave our thoughts inscribed somewhere for posterity, an instinct akin to the one that also drives the sexual libido - at least in part, - the primordial necessity to procreate.
Having an audience of any kind is of
paramount importance as a writer whether newbie, old-timer, or one
who is still craving the 'writer's experience' -- even if the
audience is only one member - the blogger himself. Several commenters
and other bloggers have mentioned that they write first and foremost
for themselves, and often solely of themselves.
I think keeping up a blog –
regularly enough to create a following audience - may very well
depend on getting some kind of audience initially, or even just the
possibility that afew people actually can find and are reading it.
For the dozen or so blogs, in my case [
if you can actually call them that], I use Blogger (Google's Blogspot domain), and just as frequently I also use Tribe.net, JustUsBoys.com and Tumblr. I have stopped using Typepad
and Wordpress because they do not allow pornographic material but they are useful, too. Wordpress hosted on the company's own
servers does not allow pornographic material.
I actually think of those blogs as
either my memory banks (places to store stuff I want to retrieve
later, or 'semen deposits' - places where I store photos, stories
and stuff that excited me when I saw it. Consequently, not ever
so-called blog post is even text or image intended for a real
audience.
However, some people are definitely only likely to
continue writing if they can get some type of feedback about their
efforts and the content (albeit self-focused stories).
Therefore , I recommend that first
time bloggers start out by making blog-type posts inside another
social networking site (Not Facebook!). Even Xtube has a blog
function, also Tribe.net is a good place to get a few people to
notice and comment on your blogs -- whether they be literary
narratives, simple diaries, opinionated essays, or just sharing a
sexual adventure or new realization about life, or something
interesting or attractive you've found in the real world or the
virtual one, and even the odd rant or rage sometime. JustUsboys.com
is also a widely known porn site but allows members to interact in
forums and create a blog.
I've said it often to my (imaginary)
readers, and privately to dozen of non-blogging members of those
sites above:
The best way to write is find a
topic that you care about and then respond. From that response may
come the crystal of a idea that can easily turn into a valuable blog
post. At least in your own mind, it will have value and be worth
repeating, i.e, elsewhere. Sometimes, it a matter of
self-confidence, and also a realization that real writers are never
born, that just develop themselves into that self-definition, but are
shaped by the nature of their work and the perceived feedback
(enjoyment, useful, sympathy, empathy, and exhilaration (sexual
and/or emotional) of their audience)
posting
This comment (response to others'
ideas) will now become the seed (or the whole peach) of a posting on
one of my personal narrative blogs. I separate my blogs into
different functions to serve my own dichotomies of thought and
interests: sexual, social, political, emotional and spiritual.
It's not necessary to do so, but I find that I tend to follow
bloggers that stick to a theme instead of constantly changing from
one mundane topic to another as if the events of life direct their
consciousness, instead of the other way around.
