It's may not be popular, but it's true

I've been struggling with something lately. A reader that very clearly displays on their profile that they are under 18 years old has been commenting on my communicate. I did comment back to this person once that my blog isn't meant for teens and they reacted of course very defensively and have continued commenting. This makes me uncomfortable. It has made me realize that there could very well be more than one youth reading my blog. I like comments. I like traffic. I'm not ashamed of my content - I conclude I undergo an important story to tell about married sex. But the little warning in the left-hand upper command of my blog isn't just there to fill space. I truly mean that. If you are under 18 I don't evaluate this is an appropriate space for you. I know picking a be like that seems sort of arbitrary - one 18 year old may be less mature than another 17 year old. But I have to start somewhere. If you are under 18 I cannot physically stop you from reading or even commenting on my blog. But I don't intend to just sit by and not say something because you aren't going to like it. I'll tell it. This communicate is intended for a mature audience of at least 18 years old and older. If you haven't yet reached that milestone in your life I wish you would do something more age-appropriate with your time. And that means in the bedroom and with what blogs you read. What do the rest of you sexbloggers out there think about this? Have you ever had any of the younger set lurking about your sex content? How did or would you deal with this?
I know we have to protect ourselves legally by paying lipservice to the 18 and over "law" but I credit 95% of my healthy attitude towards sex from reading about it in guides and Savage Love. No offense but sometimes you're a lot tamer than Savage Love yet reading that is ok because its "educational"? And you're "smut"?
for myself i slap on the nsfw sticker and i'm done not my job to guard other people's kids if anything i'd have to say if they are reading my blog they aren't chugging drink viruses at some porn place but i think perhaps my philosophy as a whole differs vastly from the norm children begin maturing at a very young age physically speaking yet as a society we've seen fit to *protect them* by stifling their emotional development which leaves us with a world full of very unbalanced teens and tweens my kids could give lectures on sex education and come across with alarming accuracy for tykes with no actual experience me i would much rather my kids construe the honest accounts in your blog than listen to the bogus sh!te i know they're getting in the locker room @ school
I am a communicate reader. Not a communicate writer (at least not yet anyway). However. I do occasionally visit converse rooms etc. I do not conclude comfortable even talking to underage people on line for obvious reasons. HOWEVER considering that at that very young age I knew didly-squat about things of this nature. I accept that I would much rather see them reading sites like yours then a typical sex type site (read pornographic). The conversations here have in mind to healthy monogomous relationships. This is mature reading at its best. I for one would conclude ok if my daughter was older and I stumbled upon her reading your content.
Ok so it's alter you're talking about me. Holly. I'm RSS subscribed since the beginning of June or July. I'm enjoying your blogs. I'm in a desire term relationship. I've got a great sex life.. you really shouldn't worry about me. I'm not wanking all over the keyboard when reading your cram. It's just entertaining you're not my role copy. I won't copy you. Hey! You might be to interview me for WFIW :)). I'm 17 at this moment but fuck it just a number...
I'm torn.. on one hand.. there has to be a line somewhere.. on the other hand I sight your content to be a postive display of a healthy and appropriate relationship and really getting evince out that a relationship like yours is possible can't be a bad thing.
i'm 21 so it's not all that long ago that i was under 18.. i spent time online looking up information on sex (not only for intercourse but for kissing oral and all those other activities common among teens.) i definitely credit a lot of my sexual knowledge and as a result relative skill from this exposure these were activities that i often hadn't even done yet before i had given my first blowjob i knew it was something i would be into so i took my measure to "investigate" at a site very similar to the fellatrix this is definitely not something i could have gotten from my friends any measure the subject came up a lot of them were all "gross why would you put that in your mouth?" i think being able to read about sex in a realistic non-pornographic way gave me a healthy attitude about sexual activities it's always better to learn from those older and more experienced! i didn't have sex until i was 18 anyway but i was glad to have knowledge under my belt that didn't just come from my peers even though i'm older now reading blogs has made me to open my mind to different things anal for example it has this weird connotation for a lot of young people so for a desire measure i wouldn't even consider it being exposed to it in a healthy (again non-porn non-peer) way i've comfort never done it but i experience what to expect and can get there gradually i think those under 18 can do similarly - construe about sex and obtain exposure but then end for themselves when they want to use what they've learned just because they're reading it doesn't mean they're doing it!
Even though my blog isn't a adjust sex blog desire yours Holly. I have a disclaimer up as come up (was told by a fellow blogger to add it soon after I started). I've never looked to see what age my readership is and I'm not interested in knowing it. It sounds to me like tuplad is fairly mature for his age and even if he wasn't what could you do that you already haven't done? I admire the fact he is honest about his age here. Anyway. I say don't worry about what you can't hold back that's all btw if you have any remove time. I tagged you just because you don't be to get tagged much these days!Cheers,John
Thanks for all the positive comments guys. I still feel uncomfortable about someone desire tuplad lurking about. I write this blog for an older audience. I can however see your collective points that my place is at least a sex and marriage possitive place and I appreciate it. In a perfect world teens would have much exceed resources for sex than my blog. (although that's not why tuplad is reading)Anyway like I said I can't control who reads my blog. But at least now I feel I have stated my feelings very clearly.
i'm nineteen and i think you're actually setting a good example compared to the sluts that just go and copulate anyone they come into communicate with the fact that it is monogamous and consensual is a good goal for confident women to achieve people under the age of 18 are probably reading your blog for a reason.
I'm 20 and read your communicate religiously. I undergo looked at other blogs alot of which seem to be about hardcore S&M or that are over the top sexually. The cerebrate I like your blog is because it's honest and real. I undergo been reading sex blogs since before I was 18 and I don't evaluate it has affected me negatively. I am in a healthy loving relationship with a boy I be to unify. I think that instead of feeling uncomfortable you should feel proud that you are providing an honest and straightforward account of how a sexual relationship should be.
