blog talk - preparing for London

I promised to do some blog talk but I'll make it quick. I started following a few new blogs in recent months, check out my blog list (should be in the lower left corner for most people). And again thank you to the people who put me on their blog list, really appreciate that as the vast majority of my traffic comes from links on other blogs. Don't be shy to leave a comment, I always respond, sooner or later...

The last two months, views on my blog almost doubled. I knew my "fetish of the week" posts would very likely attract some more attention, but I didn't expect this. I'm still not sure I'll do another series, it somewhat goes against my aim to keep this a small-scale, personal blog. And I'd rather have more comments than more views hehe.
I also started using Google Analytics on this blog. As you know I'm a stats freak, and it's pretty good. I love going over all the search terms in Google that lead people to my blog, some really funny (and sad!) ones. I might talk more about this in another entry later this year.

I still have some mixed feelings about my last entry actually, sometimes I feel like I'm making my entries too personal and leave myself open and vulnerable. And I know my view on BDSM isn't really a popular one...
On the other hand, maybe some things I write make people think, and is it really so bad to hear another opinion? There is no "right" way anyway, there isn't this One Truth that everyone has to abide to. If I'm allowed to give one piece of advice it would be to make up your own mind, and don't just follow the rules of the majority simply because they are the majority. Think for yourself.

Anyway...

Dildo training has been going well, I'm getting used to it in a way. And even enjoying it, yes, sometimes. It's become a bit of a habit and I might continue doing it even if I'm not ordered to. Need to buy more lube in that case though!

Leaving for London soon! As always I'm nervous. Traveling to another country by train (even though it's really easy), meeting up with familiar faces and new people... Not to mention that I haven't done anything kinky with other people since...hmm...November? Or even before that. So it'll probably feel very weird at first. Still, FetishBound is a nice event with nice people. Then on Saturday TSkinBoot is taking me to Boys & Sirs at The Hoist. He said he's going to punish me there... I have no idea why, I've been such a good boy recently!!
At FetishBound I'll be wearing my "dom" outfit (boots and urban camo trousers), I don't really expect to top anyone, but if anyone there wants to lick my boots I won't deny that little pleasure hehehe. At Boys & Sirs I'll (obviously) be a boy, and TSkin suggested wearing a school gym outfit... so that's just going to be black shorts, a white t-shirt and my daily sneakers.

Joept has also given me some instructions: I can't bring any underwear again (though I can bring a jockstrap he gifted to me - after some begging, and I'll probably have to pay in one way or another for the privilege), and after being a bit cheeky about it, he ordered me to shave my chest, belly and groin. He gave me a good reason (men get beaten harder than boys, so it's better to look like a boy!), but I must say I don't like the look. I somewhat like the feeling it gives me: vulnerable, and sort of "small", but I don't like the look. I feel it somehow makes me look more fat, unattractively fat. But you know, being a boy I should listen to adults (and especially daddy) when they tell me to do something, so I did shave today.

I hope I'll get some pictures from my London bondage adventures this time, I'd like to have some new ones on my recon profile (most are from April 2012 and older), and it's always good to have a visual reminder of the fun I had.
In any case, expect a blog entry after (or even during) my stay.
