Secret?

A secret? Thankfully, no. And I hope to spread my reach even wider as I introduce readers to my stories. I think that makes me fortunate. I hope.
 
Yea... Last week, I was chatting online, and someone brought it up in a pejorative way, and so of course others did the same, while I just ignored it.... but, I guess that conversation made me think, "It's been a while, let me check it out"
 
Update… I answered this post 4 months ago that this was still a secret from him. I came to Lit on the suggestion of an outlet to publish my stories. But I was feeling guilt withholding a significant part of my life from him, so a few months ago I got the courage to admit to him my writings and publishing. He took it better than I expected, and even turned him on for the most part. He knew about Lit from before, but still withheld that I dabbled in the chat part of Lit. So a few weeks ago I made that admission. There’s been another outlet where I chatted anonymously with other men with his knowledge (even his idea), and he seems to be ok with it as long as it stays anonymous and strangers.

It does feel freeing that it’s not a huge secret anymore. Only he and my best friend from college know, so it’s still a secret from my normal life and will probably stay that way. It’s opened more communication with him and maybe even spiced things up in the bedroom. It was hard to make the initial leap but feel better now that I did.
 
To everyone but my wife, yes. But, I only told her, when I decided to try my hand at writing erotica. I was a bit nervous doing so, but she had no issues with it, and supports my artistic pursuits.

I applaud you for your courage. I know how difficult it can be.
I've had bad experiences when admitting to something like this in the past, but perhaps those relationships were never meant to be anyway. Or perhaps we didn't try hard enough to come to terms with it, which would've been a shocking discovery. Who knows... maybe time would've made it normal and perhaps fun.
 
Yes, def is.
I told 2 or 3 ppl when I had a PH account. It was more visual/physical.
But this site and Lushstories... I never told anyone. These sites I reveal more. Intimacy is shared by talking. I make connections here... anonymousluly of course

Well said, although I'd like to make more connections
 
I am mainly on here, but my wife is well aware and sometimes we look at stuff together or I regale her with a saucy post or exchange.
 
Well sort of. I don't believe it would be a big deal. Probably why I don't share many "secrets" on the site. Once it's in cyber space.....
 
Mostly, of course, a secret: especially for professional reasons (and the progeny's sanity)

I told my wife in spirit of full transparency (lol -- she just treats it like one of my eccentricities). I've told my play partners (great discussion starter). My best friend knows. That's it...

We're all adults and most all of us were born with an innate set of desires which manifest in interests and curiosities... and most of us have the chemical reinforcement to make us pay attention. So, why is there such shame in acknowledging this?

In motion pictures, we casually watch hate-full movies of people shot, blown limb-from-limb, psychologically tortured, etc... that earns them a PG rating. But if two people take off their shirts to express loving affection... R! And -- heavens (!) -- if they take off their pants... NC17!

Our society is weirdly repressed.

(no, I'm not advocating to put porn in front of children -- just metaphorically illustrating a point about society's relative tolerances.)

For several years my wife and I were both active participants on a different chat site similar to Lit. It was so freeing to not have to hide that part of my life from her, and it definitely helped with communication and sexual energy between the two of us.

Unfortunately it got more difficult to do it discreetly as our kids got older, and my wife also had a couple of negative experiences with guys who became obsessed with her. That led her to stop doing it. She didn't ask me to stop, but it didn't feel fair for me to continue without her. I gave it up for several years. But eventually I wanted to try writing and sharing a few stories, so I came to Lit for that purpose. That led me back to chatting, but this time without my wife's knowledge. I'm enjoying it again, but it was more fun and easier to enjoy when I wasn't hiding it. She's changed to where she wouldn't appreciate knowing about it, and I don't want to do anything to hurt her happiness, so I'm keeping it secret, at least for now.

Good for you for being attuned enough to your husband's personality and feelings to feel that he would be accepting when you shared the secret with him. That openness is definitely the best way to enjoy this.
 
Completely 100% secret. As my boss once said everyone has 3 persona. The public persona, the private one, and the secret one.
