122,000 Visits, 79 Years, and the Reinstatement of One List (Updated 9/28/21)

We will actually reach 122k visits to this poetry/writing/photography blog in a couple of days, but it is already a couple of days past my seventy-ninth birthday, so I thought I'd better write this now, rather than wait. This "now" applies on more levels than one.

For years now, I've been trying to normalize nudity in this blog. It is, after all my lifestyle. I've been successful to the extent that I don't think most of you think anything of it when you see me naked. Now it's time to normalize the little "bubbles in the mold" that give each of us our individuality.

Back in March I took a popular on-line test, the BDSM Test (https://bdsmtest.org), often called simply the Kink Test. Since I love honesty and transparency, I published the results in a blog entry like this one, but corresponding to 110k visits. I later thought better of it, and deleted the entry. The fact is that such information is more revealing than any naked picture.

Years ago I wrote some poems in which I expressed my desire to be "more naked." Well, I guess this is my chance.

Yesterday I took the same test again, and the results were similar, with only slight differences of emphasis. Here are the results:

100% Switch

85% Non-monogamist

80% Rope bunny

78% Masochist

76% Voyeur

76% Rigger

75% Exhibitionist

70% Experimentalist

62% Dominant

61% Submissive

60% Sadist

54% Vanilla.

There were other categories, but I scored so low on them as to make them more or less insignificant.

Note: The above results are based on the short version of the test (six months earlier I had taken the long version. On Sept. 28 I took the long version, with the following results:

100% Switch

89% Masochist

77% Experimentalist

75% Voyeur

75% Rope Bunny

75% Exhibitionist

73% Non-monogamist

71% Submissive

66% Rigger

58% Dominant

50% Vanilla

41% Sadist

I feel that the second set of results fits me better than the first. Therefore, I recommend taking the long version of the test.

So there you have it. I am now more naked than I was before. I feel good about it, and will not delete these results again. Feel free to take the same test, and share the results if you want to. Comments are welcome directly on this blog entry, or by email: exolinguist at gmail dot com. I'll try to answer any questions as best I can, and I will respect your privacy.

As always, thanks for your continued interest in this blog.

A More Normal Situation

The statistics for this blog change and evolve over time. We are getting more visits from Asia than previously, fewer from Latin America, and as always, only a few from Africa. Visits in the past twenty-four hours are shown in the following graphics:

This is a more normal situation than what I reported as we approached 120,000 visits. We are now at 120,186 visits (page-views), of which there were 129 over the past twenty-four hours.

Recently, I've posted a lot of Sanskrit, which always elicits a good response from Canada, from Germany, and often also from Russia. The US is usually at the top of the list, no matter the subject.

Thanks to all of you for your continued interest.
