I Love my Lurkers (silent readers, whatever)

I have the privilege of having participated in every LOL day we’ve had here. Bonnie suggested this way back in 2006, when I had just begun blogging and I loved the idea – still do and I thank Hermione for keeping the tradition going. Today I’m putting up the very first LOL post I did (with a few updates) because what I said back then it mostly true today.

This is for my quiet readers, those that never leave comments. Yes we are all talking to you today for a very special purpose. We want to hear from you. Remember total anonymity.

Let me introduce myself. Like most of us here I am in my forty’s and boy did I have to type fast to make that true! (Even though nearly a decade has past, I see no need to update this.) I’m a schoolteacher. I have a son in college and a daughter in the 8th grade. (My son is now happily married to his long time boyfriend and living in NYC and my daughter recently began teaching third grade. Wow, time does fly) We go to church each Sunday and I take my turn teaching Sunday school and keeping the nursery. (I don’t teach SS anymore, but we still go.)

I tell you this because when I started reading out here I assumed that anyone writing a spanko/sex blog had to be a bit strange, maybe a little perverted, a person who might have a few stories I would like to read but never someone I would want to talk with in real life. I just hope you will realize that we really are just normal people. We are fascinated by the idea of spanking. We have been since we were little kids and if you are here you understand what I am talking about. 

When I was where you are now I was truly scared to comment I felt too exposed. This was a medium that I had always been warned about. You don't talk to people on the Internet! It was dangerous and I didn’t want anyone ever to know what I was reading or how much I loved it. Another thing that kept me from saying much was that I though all these people out here knew each other so well I didn’t want to intrude. All I can say to that is - please come and play.

We’re all just a bunch of kids on a cyber playground and on this playground we really like newcomers. But here we can talk about our love for spanking, our desire for our guys to be dominant, to discuss the conflicting ideas and emotions that go with this particular desire. And swirling through all that we also discuss our kids, our jobs, laundry, the weather, our health, and the million of other things that friends talk about every day. (All still true.)

I’ve made wonderful friends here. No I do not know where they live and I will probability never see them. But they are good friends. Blogging is a good thing in my life. I would love for you to say hi. If you’re still not comfortable then wait until you are and say hi then. Although it is anonymous please use a name, any name you want to make up, just so we will know it’s the same person. (This has changed, I’ve met eight bloggers in person and I loved meeting each and everyone. I plan on meeting more in the future – but fear not, we won’t come looking for you, but if we become friends you may be invited to our next gathering.)

Many of us on LOL day take the time to assure one another out here that we do come by daily even when we don't comment. I'll be doing that this year too - but really we are hoping very much to hear from that first time commenter, you pay us the compliment of reading out words - please let us know you're there.

Go by Hermione's to see the full list of those participating.
