For a writer, expressing erotic thoughts or erotic acts takes a certain amount of finese, forethought and a mastery of language. We’re all sexual creatures, so it’s fair to say that we’re each capable of sharing similar feelings, but to capture something so personal and profoundly intimiate and to be able to share these things with others thru the written word is clearly something else. There are many fine writers of sexual content which falls under the encompassing umbrella known as erotica, each with their own intended audience or genre, and with each writer using their own particular style to express these things often drawn from the author’s erotic core. We write what turns us on with the hope that it will turn someone else on, that’s the whole idea behind erotica – turning people on.

If the writer is successful, the reader can immerse themselves in the construct created by the author and reach deep within their own erotic core and ideally be able to envision themselves either within a particular scene, partaking in the action so to speak, or perhaps as a voyeur and enjoying the visual landscape the author has created for them. In my own expressions of the erotic, my goal has always been to try and create that visual for the reader so that they might be able to share in that experience as it’s seen thru my eyes, but I’ve also tried to expand on the sexual aspect of a piece of work with what I consider to be far more significant, and that’s the emotional component, meaning that I don’t just want the reader to see thru my eyes, I want them to feel what I feel, both physically and emotionally. That to me is the real power of erotica – to capture both the physical and the emotional perceptions as well as all of the other stimulations of each of the human senses. And that isn’t always easy.

For a long period, going back into the history of my journal, most of my content was exactly as described above. I wrote erotica and it was fair to say that lazy geisha was a ’sex blog’. Over time, for many reasons, that began to change, and now what you find here in geishaland is a mixture of my own musings, to articles about human sexuality, to my erotica, to women’s health issues, to my own geeky interests, to sports, to whatever – so, no longer a sex blog, right?

Without going into each and every reason why I migrated away from being just a sex blog, because quite frankly, even I’m tired of bitching about it and I’m sure you’re all tired of hearing me bitch about it, let’s just say that at the time it was completely necessary for me to do. Not entirely because of external forces, tho they did play a part, but I felt as tho I needed and wanted to expand my horizons in other directions. So now I’ve done that.

But there’s also a very powerful part of me which wants to continue writing erotica and expressing my erotic thoughts; either about my own experiences, or my fantasies, or whatever may strike me as sexy. The point is, I want to delve back into some of that, but what I don’t want is to lose what I’ve built in the rest of geishaland.

For a while now, I’ve been making comments and have mentioned in a few posts that I wanted to create a private area of my site as a place where I could continue to write and publish my erotica. And again, without going thru all the history, I especially didn’t want that content completely open to the general public, for a slew of different reasons. I know a lot of people have sex blogs and put their own erotica, experiences and fantasies out for the whole world to read, and that’s fine. I need something else. I need to do this in a different way, for my own reasons.

So I’ve been trying to figure out a way to do that in such a way that I’ll feel comfortable enough to write with the freedom I need and still be able to share that with some type of audience, and I believe I’ve figured out a way to accomplish that within the framework of my existing software.

Many people have asked me about the Sanctuary page here on my site, and for a while I’ve used that area as a way to share things with select friends, but now I’ve taken it a step further. As of today, all erotic writing here on this site has been moved to a new category called Nina/Erotica and the gateway to that content is thru the Sanctuary page. This is a password protected area of the site, and all entries under that category are also password protected. However, one password will open the entire category, which I hope will make things simple for those who wish to read these entries, both past and future.

For me this is exactly what I need; the relative freedom to be able to share my erotic writing again with a sense of security which comes from knowing, in relative terms, who will be reading it. Some may see this as a hassle, but then again, no one is forcing anyone to read here, and if you’d like access to that material, this is what’s necessary.

I’ve given this a lot of thought, had a number of conversations with both Jeff and Lisa, as well as bouncing these ideas off cyber friends, so I’m confident that I’m doing what’s right for me.

The writer in me is thrilled and excited that I can now feel comfortable in my own home, because I truly haven’t been at ease to write like that here for a long, long time. So, expect a lot of new things to show up here in the future!

If you’d like access to my sanctuary, please use my Contact Form found on the home page to make a request. Please include your name and a short note about how you discovered my site. I promise, no one will get grilled and I won’t make this difficult. You will then receive a password which will open up that section of the site to you. Outside of that, nothing else will change here and I still plan to express myself about the same wide array of topics that I currently do now in the main body of geishaland. Sex toy reviews, and articles on sexuality will continue to remain as part of the main body of the site.

Thanks so much and I look forward to seeing you in the sanctuary, and as always, thank you for reading.
