So everyone is pretty much aware what’s happening this week with the new community guidelines so I just wanted to do a quick little PSA regarding this account.

I have a personal tumblr blog like many others, and it’s my safe space to be my true self without fear of judgement from people I know IRL. Over the years I’ve had it I’ve been able to explore and shape my sexuality, explore kinks and knowledge of my body that I haven’t been able to find elsewhere. It really shaped me as a person and now all that is being taken away from me and many others.

And I understand that it started from some really horrific things and that sort of thing should without a doubt not be on tumblr, but consenting adults posting adult content to their personal blogs is not in the same as exploitation. Tumblr is basically setting a standard of saying that being your whole self is not okay, that unless it’s family friendly your thoughts aren’t free to share.

That is not okay.

This blog should meet the new standards in the guideline (save maybe a couple of ask replies) so I am not worried about losing this page, but my personal blog would be heavily censored. Because of this I am boycotting tumblr. My personal blog will be deleted, I will keep this one up only because the content is relative to @thatsrealpainrightthere ‘s page and the storyline has been thoughtfully crafted. But I will not be actively posting or contributing to the blog at all until this censorship of healthy adult sexuality is stopped.

I am not alone in this protest, I join many others in taking a stand.

Let’s hope we speak again but if not it’s been a pleasure, I’ve enjoyed interacting with you all and answering your questions. Thank you for enjoying reading this blog as much as I’ve enjoyed writing it.

It surprised us somewhat too. I’ve been open from a young age with my sexuality, but not everyone knows from a young age like I did-which I presume is why elementary age Michael didn’t come across as gay. In saying that Michael can still “pass” as straight and he’s certainly not as obviously gay unless you ask or know him.

I wouldn’t say just kids are the reason for a sex life decline… Any activity that takes a lot of time or energy from you will contribute to a decline in bedroom activity. So in a way, yes. You’re tired by the time it’s bedtime, and you don’t always have the opportunity for free time during the day/ morning and sometimes you’re just so worn out from being constantly touched or whatever that you just want to be left alone. So yeah, that’s the reality, a child is a huge commitment and will spend most of your time and energy.
