I personally don’t have a Pillowfort account yet, but my partner does and she has let me look at her account fully to see what it is like. I’ve also viewed Pillowfort’s demo account which is linked to on their Kickstarter. I am waiting with anticipation when I can make my own account, but right now Pillowfort is in a closed beta which means the only people who have access to the site are ones who have been given special registration links. They were doing waves of free beta accounts a bit ago (which is how my partner got her account), but right now for every $5 you pledge to their Kickstarter you will receive a registration key if the Kickstarter gets fully funded (they are as of today 40% of the way to their $39,900 goal).

Here is why I’m excited for Pillowfort:

• If you delete your original posts, every reblogged version will be deleted too. Edit your original post and the changes will appear on every reblog,
• The ability to make posts visible to everyone, just followers, just mutuals, or just yourself.
• A functional blacklist where you can blacklist a post body & tags or just tags.
• A terms of service that explicitly states you hold all rights to your own intellectual property. It also states clearly that it forbids callout posts, doxxing, degradation, harassing, hate groups, spamming of tags with unrelated or offensive material, and slurs against minorities. If there is a user that is doing anything offensive or hateful, it is encouraged and mandated you don’t make posts about it and instead flag it and let the site moderators take care of it. This sort of system cuts down on “dashboard drama” and harassment that sites like Tumblr are known for. 
• They have threaded comments which means discussions or praise no longer clog up your posts and your blog, keeping things much more organized and clean. We can also use tags for their ACTUAL purpose, tagging of posts for ease of search and organization instead of talking.
• They have communities and a more connected user-based and user-led environment.
• Posts in chronological order like they should be!
• A staff that actually cares about the input of their members and is driven to listen and collaborate with their members to create a site that the users actually want instead of being led by a corporation that has their own agendas in mind.
• A staff that wants to avoid corporate involvement, unwanted ads, and selling of user info to fund Pillowfort.
• The future possibilities of what the staff can do with the site that we didn’t dream could be possible to have all in one place including accessibility and a functional mobile app.

So far, I’ve seen a lot of good things and I’ve been really impressed with how the staff is handling the site and how they have explained their plans for the future of Pillowfort.

If you say you really want a social media site that actually cares about their users, this is it. This is your chance to have what pretty much all of us want. This new blogging platform is all the best parts of Tumblr (and for those who miss Livejournal this is like a wedding between Tumblr and Livejournal) with all the parts we hate and loathe about the site scraped out of it.

If you like everything that you’ve read about Pillowfort.io, please pledge to their Kickstarter. Even $5 can help and it will get you a registration link to get on Pillowfort yourself if the Kickstarter gets fully funded.

If you can’t support Pillowfort monetarily, then please, please reblog, tweet, share, and spread it about everywhere you can. 

This is our chance to have a social media made with us in mind and it’s already starting out so well with 10,000 users in the closed beta. Let’s bring it to the next stage of its life!

This is promising!

New app?

I’m talking with some other people about maybe making a new app that is not-Tumblr but would fulfill kind of the same purpose and except NSFW content

Is there anyone out there willing to put forth some coding or money or anything along those lines to try and make this happen?

Please reblog and get this message to everyone you can. The more people the more likely it could happen!

Interested!

Bubble Busting Time

I’ve recently gotten another wave of “how do I make my significant other do this?”, “how do I find a mistress?”, and/or “how do I make this my life?” questions.

Short answer, you don’t. Not in the way you’re thinking.

Longer answer, this is a predominantly fantasy blog, filled with fun and kinky fantasies, scenes, and stories.

Perhaps one out of hundreds of the people I interact with are in 24/7 bdsm relationships, and even those likely aren’t what you’re imagining right now.

Porn isn’t any more real than the last marvel movie you watched. A strapon doesn’t just slide dry into a hole without some prep, you can’t just leave someone tied up for hours, and being a footstool will get fucking boring for both parties after a while.

Kink is fun, scenes are great, but most of you who say, “I want that to be my life.” only day that because you haven’t experienced it and your horny.

What you’d probably enjoy is a scene, getting off, and then going back to your normal life until you’re horny again.

So what does that mean?

“How do I make my significant other do this?”

You don’t make them do anything, stop phrasing it like that. Just talk to them, ask them about their fantasies as well, and listen. Can you mix and match? Don’t pitch long time periods, an hour here or there is fine but keep in mind that creating a fantasy for someone is exhausting and they probably don’t want to keep up a persona for a whole weekend.

“How do I find a mistress.”

Look, one of two ways. Either find someone you actually care about and who cares about you, meaning stop thinking with your dick/cunt, and then see if they’re interested in kink.

Or the other option, pay a pro for scenes. Honestly, just get it out of your system. You’ll pay a masseuse to help you chill, this really isn’t any different, and the good ones have CPR training, know all the safety steps, and will bring your fantasy to life in a safe way.

“How do I make this my life?”

You very probably don’t, cause you’ve got to get to work, pick up the kids, finish your thesis, make dinner, meet your friends.

Anything in excess can be bad for you, so, have a utility wank, think to yourself, would I really want to sleep in a cage? What would that do to my back? And enjoy the occasional scene while living your life.

Be safe, sane, keep it consensual, and respectful.
