I would guess that, generally, people are on this site because this isn't the sort of social group one can easily find in non-Internet society. Also, it lets you be anonymous if you want. So, I'd guess most people are here unbeknownst to close friends and family. That's my situation, anyway.
Absolutely no one knows I'm on this site.
I have alluded to belonging to a bulletin board, and described some of the people here, but never really described the site in detail, and certainly would never give the site's name nor my LPSG moniker.
I mean, the latent asshole in me needs anonymity.
The above posts sum up my feelings and my situation.
I have told three of my gay friends that I post on a big dick message board site but, I've never told them its name or my username. As for my family? They will never know. I hope! I've posted things here that I dare not say in front of my mom and things that I would be embarrassed by if my family ever saw them.:redface:
LPSG is special to me partly because I can say many things here that I wouldn't say otherwise in 'real life.' I think we all need a place to do that.:smile:
However, I do sometimes wish that I could let my family and friends (especially my brother) know about things that happen here or tell them about the funny stuff that is said on LPSG and about the people that I like here. I often will just say "I read this on the internet" if I really want to share stuff from here with them.
It's all a mixed bag for me I guess!:biggrin1:
