A Time for Change?
I love what this site had become.
When I first started Between My Sheets…well, I did it for money. Kind of. BMS operated under a slightly different name and was part of a bigger blog network that was paying me to write spicy stories and sex advice. I agreed to the job because I needed the cash.
Then, network policies changed, the staff was mixed up to include some people I did not particularly like, belts tightened, and bloggers on that network were given the option to leave, taking their content with them. I decided to leave, and I took my content…just in case.
It was…a few months? Maybe not even that long, before I knew I needed BMS. This site wasn’t just about erotica anymore, and it certainly wasn’t about making money. It was my place, my slice of the Internet. It was somewhere where I felt I belonged, and for the first time, I was meeting people, albeit virtually, who were encouraging me to be myself. They liked me, they really liked me!
And today, I feel like this blog has become even more. It’s a place where I can tell my personal story, even when things aren’t sexy. It’s a place where I can comment on social issues and discrimination relating to sex and gender. It’s a place where I can promote the things I love through reviews. It’s a place where I can certainly spice things up with fantasies and slightly fictionalized tales of real life sex. It’s a place where I can gather people once a year to support the best sex bloggers out there.
So, maybe it’s time for a change. Maybe it’s time that I redesign this site into what a sex blog really can be. Maybe it’s time to organize so people interested in reviews can find the reviews and people interested in the dish can find the dish. Maybe it’s even time to include pictures and videos. Maybe it’s even time to sell some products, not because I want to profit off of everyone here supporting me or exploit your kindness, but because it would give me the flexibility to actually afford some really cool features for everyone, like forums and giveaways.
I want this site to be a place where we can all hang out without feeling judged. It’s become my piece of heaven, to just be able to rant and rave as I see fit, and you guys – you are the best readers in the world. There’s never any hate. There’s never any disrespect. Even when we disagree with one another, BMS is always such a loving place of acceptance, and that’s not because of me – that’s because of you.
Change is scary, though. I don’t know if I’m ready. I don’t know if I’ll ever be ready. Right now, I’m just going to think about it.
What I’d certainly like if your input. What do you think?
