Adult forums and other trivia
Most of this post is content I had intended to post as a farewell on a particularly sad yet very successful adult/sex industry forum. The numbness inside me due to events arising from that place that have invaded my life and people around means that my final act will be total silence - it’s not worth the energy.
So, this is a comment from me on the negative side of such forums and those who are addicted to them, there are some great forums out there but the one I’m referring to just isn’t one of those.
The thoughts around a final post were encouraged by a quote Rebecca sent me, it so succinctly summarises the worst aspects of that place:
“For the first time in my life I actually came across adults who can contribute nothing to my life….can offer nothing to anyone….who essentially are little children with fully formed genitalia”
I’ve encountered some great people on there, most of those I have contact with via other means so continuing to deal with the crap that dominates it is meaningless. The fact that my life has been invaded on a couple of fronts due to the intrigue & bitchiness of various people on here is even further reason to go silent.
Watching myself develop a persona on the forum that gets involved in the the shitty & petty exchanges has been such a negative influence in my life as commented on here a while ago that I had to deal with it anyway but the ongoing bullshit has finally got to me and forced an immediate exit.
I’m working on a post about how I think the sex industry and its participants have changed over the past 16-17 years I’ve been involved, forums like the one I’m referring to form part of that commentary so I’ll explain my thoughts in more detail in that post.
To the great people I’ve encountered on there thanks, to the majority - please continue to enjoy yourselves on there as it is the perfect outlet for your gobshite.
So, for those who know me I’ll still be around here from time to time & still participating in the happy & positive yet quiet escortsforum but I’m slowly detaching myself from a number of other connections I have to the sex industry.

I've been very content to stay away from AF for all of your above reasons. Nothing will ever make me click on "register". Same applies to NZG similiarly.
You've been a great supporter of mine Voyager and I wll miss reading your posts.
Some people within the industry seem to be very upset with our collective efforts.
Personally I think they are jealous of our open approach and interest we generate.
Maybe we should all meet sometime soon to post our final articles and pop some corks to mark not the end, but the end of the beginning.
Aroha,

I'm probabaly going to continue with the blog but will take a break while I find some new paths to follow that avoid the problems of the past couple of weeks.
It was time to move on from some of the subjects anyway.
Looking forward to bumping into you out there.

“AF is fucked.There was never ANY of this shit in my life before it. A few years ago no one knew anyone else’s business.And that’s what I liked. Not this shit now where you cant have a coffee or drink or even walk in the city without someone knowing.”
HAHAHA Who said that? Its so true.
