spigot89's blog post - The appeal of NN

A blog is often about opinions, to which everyone is entitled. I like to think out loud in my NN blog for anyone who is minded to pass a few minutes checking out my ramblings...

Musing this morning on the appeal of NN, I wondered what principally attracts me to the site. I should say, RE-attracts me, as I was previously a member once one of my penpals shyly referred me to her profile here. Some will say it was the fact that basic membership is free. Not so, I subscribed to premium membership whenever I could afford it, which was not often when I was an impoverished nursing student.

Personally, I believe the appeal for me lay in the fact that the site is generally populated by real people- either real couples who are happy to share the pleasure they take in intimacy with other like minded people, or individuals who are relatively happy with their bodies whatever the shape or size. Of course, the site has its share of bad behaviour, and there is always something of a risk in posting intimate pictures of ourselves- we open ourselves to criticism, and a fragile ego could be damaged by unkind or untrue comments, not to mention the opinion of total strangers.

There is a plethora of other amateur nude sites out there. I have viewed many, and have contacted plenty of other people via other sites, but never had the positive experiences such as those with NN. Here, I have found real and diverse friendships, with men, women and couples. I have been able to share a part of my creativity with a willing and honest audience (my erotic stories, personally tailored for the reader) and also to feel more comfortable about my own sexuality. I enjoy long standing friendships with people online, with whom I probably would never get to speak in the course of an ordinary life. That is what I find extraordinary about NN. I love the fact I can check in here anytime, and view pictures of real people, taken in their real environments, without the dishonesty of studios or the artificiality of paid porn. To any and all of you reading this, keep up the good work and keep in touch- you're all appreciated!
