thanks. i do know this is a safe space and am not really concerned about getting made fun of or any "enemies" harassing me. my main issue is that i like to keep my sex life (and my emotional life-- to a certain extent) relatively private, so i feel uncomfortable posting as myself. i also have worries about people i *really* wouldn't want to read this sort of thing finding posts like this-- parents, siblings, bosses, etc. they all know about my lj. i'd rather just keep this sort of thing under wraps. :)
