Bi woman slash writer. I've done it.

"Admitted to it"? Like it's something to be ashamed of?

[(Anonymous)]

Some HUAC shit. Do you now have, or have you ever had, things up your butt for sexual reasons?

[(Anonymous)]

HUAC?

[(Anonymous)]

The House Un-American Activities Committee that investigated people with ties to Communism during the Red Scare in the 1950s in the USA. The famous prototypical question being "Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party".

I like that you happened to have a laughing icon that was also Karl Marx.

I keep it around just for times like these.

(It's from Persepolis.)

I just finished reading that! It was great.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah. This is weird.

So having anal sex is embarrassing? Yet writing explicit porn with anal sex scenes in it isn't?

I know which one I'd rather admit having done when talking among my friends.

Actually, my friends know I've done both. But the fanfic slash is way more embarrassing.

[(Anonymous)]

I know this might come as a surprise, but some people don't like discussing their sex lives? Yes, even if they write fic. It's one thing to write about a fictional character doing something and quite another to go around telling complete strangers about your sex life.

"complete strangers"? ayrt was talking about their friends...

[(Anonymous)]

But presumably your fandom friends already know that you write slash, whereas they don't necessarily know anything about your real sex life. It's more about the audience than about what's objectively more embarrassing.

Like, say you sleep with your emotionally toxic ex that you swore you'd never bang again, and get chlamydia from them. You might be fine with telling your friends about the sex but not the STD, whereas when you go into the clinic to get treated, obviously you're going to confess the STD, but that doesn't mean you want to tell the doctor about how you know your ex is bad for you but they can be so compelling when you're drunk and lonely.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't tell people what sex acts I engage in with my partner not because I'm ashamed of it, but because that's between me and him and no one else.

I don't understand this idea that wanting to keep certain details of your life private is a bad thing.

[(Anonymous)]

It's not bad, it's just that different people do things differently.

[(Anonymous)]

Sure, but people are saying that not saying you've done a certain sex act means that you're ashamed and think it's embarrassing.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think it's something to be ashamed of. I did it once. Didn't find it my cup of tea. Haven't done it again. Here I am, admitting it to you.

[(Anonymous)]

It's nothing to be ashamed of, but I have to say it's not something I'd tell my friends I'm into.
