A fantasy, an illusion, my privacy?
Thoughts about sexually vibed images and posting them online.
"Why do you do it?"
"It will ruin your future job hunting!"
"No man will ever want to marry you."
I’ve heard it all before, been doing this since I was about 16-years-old. Still haven't regret it, and I don't think I ever will, though I'm not married so there's that. I don’t remember how I started all this but posting pictures of myself, semi-nude, has always come very naturally to me. We are genetically driven by our sexuality and for being something so natural, the naked body still seems to be a taboo. I've heard my fair share of slut shaming, but I'm not too bothered by it. I know who I am and what I do. Staying at home all evening knitting wool socks sure sounds pretty slutty.
If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that I’ve been pretty critical about Steemit, but this platform has given me the amazing opportunity to monetize on my semi nakedness. Greatest thing about this is that I am in full control of everything, what I show, how I show it, when I show it. I would be posting these pictures to somewhere anyways, but here I can make a couple bucks from it, and the only censorship is the nsfw-tag.
"You only get upvotes because you take your clothes off."
In my opinion, taking your clothes off will only get your foot in the door, after that, you have to something else to offer too. If you check out who’s getting the biggest rewards on nsfw-tag, you can see that it’s pretty much dominated by pictures of @steemed-open and myself. So take notes ;) If I were to post vulgar and bad quality pictures of my pussy and write something with broken English, I don't think I could have gotten this far in my two months in here. I for one, enjoy looking at good pictures of beautiful women and for me it's more of an art form than anything pornographic. I won't be stopping this any time soon.
Not sure, If I may say so without offending you.. when I looked at your pictures in full view yesterday, I saw something wild and untamable in your eyes. Don't know if I'm expressing it right... a highly independent spirit. So, of course you think the way you do.
If the "advice" from these naysayers wasn't so pathetically sad, it would be funny. The three statements you list at the beginning can easily be replaced by
"Wow.. you are doing exactly what you want to do!"
"It will open you a bright beautiful future and someone who saw your (really exquisite and tasteful) pictures will offer you the job you always dreamed of"
"Every man will want to merry you... particularly when he hears about your artisan talents ;-)"
Anyways, its all peoples opinions and when you take a look at their lives... oh well!
The people who say "You only get upvotes because you take your clothes off." are the same who report an artwork on fb, because it shows a female (!) nipple, 0,3mm in size. At least here you have the nsfw tag and don't get your page suspended for two years.
And you are absolutely right about tasteful content, good quality and how exactly that is being appreciated. Looks like I found the two best pages already :-)
I'm a libra and its said, that aesthetics are most important for us. I love your pictures. The ones I have seen are exquisite , tastefully sensuous and elegant.
Looking forward to see you around :-)

It feels sooooo good to be noticed and appreciated, might have to tone down the compliments so it doesn't go to my head!
God it riles me up when uptight people report artwork! I can somehow understand someone reporting my nipples but when there is nudity in paintings and drawings and someone reports that, it is just insane.

You don't appear like the person that gets conceited from a simple compliment. You take it gracefully and respond to it with true and unpretentious kindness.
Getting reported on fb has been an annoying issue for me as well as few artists friends. One of them even ran a campaign to make fun of the absurdity of it all. But its really a waste of time to get all wound up about it. Lets focus our attention onto something worth it... I still have quite a few of your posts to look at :-)
And since you said, I may attach a picture, here is the one for tonight. Its one of the circles of hell from dante's divine comedy... hehe.. god thing I'm a decent sinner ;-)
I have the windows open and a bat just flew through the room. I know they are around, but I never had one come this close!

It's also because you have no real competition here. Let's be honest, posting cooking recipes or memes with body like this would be such a waste for the community.
You do it also for compliments, who wouldn't? Your fine body is even more tempting considering I won't ever meet you and I'm left with drooling over these HQ pictures. Unlucky me and lucky me.

@steemed-open and I are your biggest fans. I can't tell you how amazing it is to see a beautiful, strong, confident women who is completley comfortable in her own skin share her natural gifts with the world. There's incredible power in that (which is why many people fear it and seek to suppress it).

I actually voted because of your writing mainly. It's good to have people like you here. And about the nsfw-tag, all posts are shown in the same feed. Feed that is browsed by people from all ages and places (some could be browsing from work) so I'd consider if the usage of word like censorship is correct here. Unless christmas presents are being censored when they are wrapped up? :)

I know. Some guys are complaining how women make easy money on Steemit only by showing off tits and ass, but they are just being pansies. They should show off a bit of their own tits and ass in a beautiful way and they'd make fortunes too!

Being "sexy" on its own is as useful as a bonfire in the desert.
Its the combination of mind and body that makes things work.
I understand why artists surround themselves with other creatives. Dancers, poets, painters. The energy feeds off itself and inspires other things.
Sexy isn't a single star, burning in the darkness of space.
Its a galaxy of possibilities, rushing through our brains as we harness its energy. Some channel that in obvious ways, others use it for their own "fuel".
I say stoke the fire - let it burn bright and long, until we're too tired to speak.

I let my fire burn, throwing gasoline in it, and when it overflows, be careful not to stand too close to me. Like the king Midas, I might ruin something beautiful accidentally just by touching it.

I've been a photographer for a long time and have photographed 100s of women. There is nothing more beautiful than the female form. I wish you great success. Your images are very attractive and I love your experiments in B&W. Please keep it up and explore the technology, poses, and emotions that leave our jaws on the floor.

Humans have always made art from naked images, from the cave to Caravaggio, right up to steemit! As far as I know, this bizarre vilification of nudity is the product of Christianity and the sex obsession of the Abrahamic faiths.
Balls to all of them. I think you hit the nail on the head, in that the nudity is only part of it. The great quality of your art is that I feel, as a slightly pervy middle-aged man, that I'm getting to know you, that as I read your words I'm finding out about the inner you, while also getting a very good look at the outer, though still private you. It's a pretty unique experience from my perspective, and one I thank you wholeheartedly for.
Perhaps we should have an nsfw day, all of us post nudes, might stop the moaners moaning... Or at least, give them something else to whinge about!

U look amazing!! If I had your body and your photography skills than I would do the same. The haters are just jealous. Also, you are fabulous at catchy writing in your posts, it draws the reader in !!!.. I have read some in the past ( its the kind of blog u want to read with a cup of tea in hand hehe) and Both you and @steemed-open share in the fact that your nudity looks classy rather than what the haters define as ''slutty'' . U both make me look at the female form and think u know what.. women's figuration is HELLA sexy. u are HOT!! x

I am glad it made your day when I saw that you wrote you were getting some of that negative attention- I wanted to comment!.. Sometimes I have looked at your posts but not voted as my voting power is PANTS ( i will return when its much better!)- but it was always admiration for your art.

I'll just say that if I had a body half as nice as yours, I'd be posting photos like this as well. You're stunning and the photos are gorgeous from an artistic level in addition to you just being really beautiful.
I agree with everything you've said here and find it exhausting when people feel the need to bitch about other people's choices.
