So, we've done it once more..., I was on the giving end. I don't remember all of the details, but I remember her eyes. Her eyes on me. Don't get me wrong, I remember seeing her eyes reflected in K's, the other time, but this was different...I could...feel her. Feel everything. I remember the way she felt, tasted, looked at me...the feel of her lips, her tongue, everything. I remember looking at her, seeing the body, but seeing her also. Her bright blue eyes, her blonde hair...Gods it was incredible...caressing her, and feeling her...doing things to her physically I always dreamed of...and Kissing her...so much passion...gods, I just don't have the words to describe, not without going into greater detail than I have, but my lj will have more detail, trust me....I need to capture this for all time.

I love you Tara,
I love you K, and thank you again.

I don't get why you feel ike you have to share this kind of thing with all these people.

I'm agreeing with [livejournal.com profile] fourninesix, here-- WHY do we need to know this much detail, even if it's not "all of the details"? Wouldn't it be wiser to just make a simple public statement without any detail as to what specific sexual actions occurred, and keep that detail in your own journal, where you can more easily determine who sees it?

Not only that, but you do know that all the unlocked posts on this comm are still being syndicated to GJ (http://multiplicity-lj.greatestjournal.com/), right?

I am not SAYING you broke the rules. You have absolutely NOT broken the rules, as so long as this comm is under the moderation it has now, there will be no censorship or trigger warnings or any such thing.

What I was and am saying is that, in my opinion-- which I am allowed to have and express, just you and everyone else are also allowed to completely disagree with it-- to post this much information about your sexlife, in a public post that is easily syndicated, found by search engine, cached on automatic archive sites, and/or linked to, is unwise.

I personally would consider description of what a sexual encounter felt like to be beyond what I would describe even to close friends in person, regardless of whether overt sexual terms were used or not used. I am not a prude, nor particularly repressed. You can post all you like about, say, Men in Female Bodies Missing their Penes and Scrotum (or Dick and Balls, whatever), and I would not blink an eye. It's more the matter of boundaries and the fact that you are giving intimate description of a very private and special moment in a public place where it could easily, for instance, be picked up in a Google search and reposted as porn elsewhere, among other possibilities.

To tell the truth, I am not even really sure what the hell multiplicity has to do with this, except for the element of systemmembers travelling between bodies, which not all systems can do, and which many singlets also do. It's certainly a wonderful thing that you've accomplished, and by no means do I think it is a bad thing. I merely think that describing that much in a public place is a Very, Very, Very Bad Idea.

Also, when I had made this comment (http://community.livejournal.com/multiplicity/485686.html?thread=7249206#t7249206), this post could still have avoided being syndicated to GJ (minus LJ-cuts), as it was not there yet. Now it is (http://multiplicity-lj.greatestjournal.com/95015.html), and no matter what you do from now on, removing or editing it is near impossible without contacting the feed's creator (doubtful) or the main admin staff of GJ (who may not be available or even CARE).

That also means that any OTHER places that might be fetching the public posts remotely also already have a copy of the post. You don't even know what purposes they might be fetching them for. I was TRYING to point that out. Even locked posts in this comm are not entirely safe, as there is no moderation approval required to join, and there are many, many lurker journals whose owners no one, not even the mods, know anything about, let alone their motives or activities or what they do with the posts they read.

Your personal journals, on the other hand, are FAR less likely to have as many lurkers or syndication feeds of the public posts. Even without a filter, this kind of thing is safer and less likely to result in messy consequences.

THAT is what I was trying to say. Openness is no reason that you should take unnecessary risks with sensitive material.

If it's under the rules.. and THEIR life, I fail to see how there is a problem. I know The Pack. They totally have no problem sharing their life and experience with others. It helps others, in some cases.

Why shouldn't they be allowed to share? It could really aide others in their quest for how this sort of thing works or COULD work.

And why shouldn't they share a victory with those they consider friends?

Note to self: any victory we, as the Annwn System, rejoice in.. is ONLY for us. Bad llama, thinking we should share it with people who could TRULY understand.

Where did I say "Share absolutely NOTHING"? Where did I say anything but that I believe it to be wiser to keep personal details in personal journals, and not in completely unprotected public posts to communities that are already being syndicated to at least one known location?

By all means, share the victory. Say, "My girlfriend and I figured out how she could travel to our mutual earth-girlfriend's body so that our sexlife could become more fulfilling to us." That I would have no qualms with. But to wax erotic for a paragraph on how breathtaking it was when you literally have no idea who else is lurking and reading-- it's less of a matter of helping others, and more a matter of not being exploited.

And why shouldn't they share a victory with those they consider friends?

They should. That would be what I'd presume their personal journals are for. Am I to take this to mean that they consider all 717 members of this comm, and all the countless lurkers who can read public posts, all the random search engine hits, and all the unknown readers of known and unknown syndicated feeds of this comm, to be their friends?

I am not, and never was, ever meaning "BAD BAD BAD HOW DARE YOU SAY ANYTHING". Not everyone who reads this community can be considered to have friendly intentions.

Bad llama, thinking we should share it with people who could TRULY understand.

Well, then. Bad ME for having an opinion and expressing it. What the fuck was I thinking? That someone might actually stop and think about the potential for humiliation and invasion of their privacy that might result, and actually be helped</> by it? That Self-Appointed Psychology Experts might stop by and claim that this is all sexual fantasy? That another member might take this as a sign of "fluffiness", much as descriptions of otherworlds and psychic phenomena usually result? You can say that you're secure, but I know that it would NOT hurt any less to have something like this put up, say, on any number of mockery sites as "proof" that all multiples are fantasizing/stupid/wankers/whatever. It would NOT hurt any less, even with experience in publishing in a comfortable situation, to have it copied and pasted for a potential host of complete strangers' auto-erotic satisfaction.

Pardon me for daring to suggest that indiscretion on the internet might have unwanted consequences. Clearly this can only be interpreted as moral outrage, even though I completely approve of their success and happiness, if not the way they report it.

No,....No,...No,.......why are things being copied and displayed on some Other Journal system,.?

When I write something here, I realize that it's open to all unless I make it otherwise,. I Don't like the fact that it has been copied,.......Verbatium and posted somewhere else without MY PERMISSION!

I never agreed to this! Who started this Other Journal,.? and why are things being posted without the permission of the Writers,........

I DON'T LIKE THIS.

Perhapes it's time to change all my posts to Locked.

Very displeaesed,

I'm not sure,. all I know is that there's another Open source Web Blog/journal, called "Greatest Journal" and most of all the posts that have been made on Multiplicity are there. Including mine, Copied and reposted on another Journal, where I do Not Want It.

There's a link a few Replies up the list. I don't think that the Moderators of this community have given their approval, and I also realize that if I put words on the internet they kind of become Public Property.

My biggest annoyance is the fact that, When I post something on Livejournal, I have only given *My* consent to have it displayed there, not *Any*where else. I realize anyone can come and take and use my words. There's nothing I can do about that.

But when someone is deliberatly doing it,...Or knows that it's happening and does nothing to stop it. That's what I have an issue with.

It also feels like an invasion of Privacy. But that's just my opinion. I in no means speak for all of this community. Nor would I even try.

I Understand that,...........I know I can't stop it from happening,.

It still doesn't take away the right that I have to be angry/upset about it,.......That and Correct me If I'm wrong but aren't you supposed to attain permition of the people you photograph if you are intending to use the picture you take of them and display it publicly,.?

Or am I wrong,...?

and if that's the case, doen't that apply to print as well,.?

Just curious,....and I'm still slightly disgruntled at, (the very least) My posts being taken and posted somewhere else,.

Hence why I said, from now on, all my posts are going to be protected when posted on a public forum,.

I have the right, to feel Exactly What I want, when I want,. That is the basis of Human Emotions,. Hence the spontinaiety of their Nature.

(Niether you nor anyone else can take that away from me. My emotions are my own,.)

How I ACT upon them in public is what gives the public the right to condem, ridicule, judge, Elate, Congradulate, Consternate Etc. Etc.

So you can react however you want to what I feel. I'm just telling you,... You can not and will never be able to tell someone, that they don't have the right to feel it. That's Tantimount to telling a grieving man He Doesn't have the right to feel sad for his spouses death.

And I would hope that your Photography (If being used as an Art medium) would reflect Life,. As Art is meant to,.

I feel that I have adiquately expressed my thoughts on this issue. I am done.

Do you have information on where this journal is so someone can do something about it? I have a greatest journal (I dont use it) so I went looking and couldnt find anything. I would be happy to pursue this and try to get posts from here taken off GJ ... just let me know where they are...

This sort of a post, is the perfect sort of thing that could go on [livejournal.com profile] glbtqs_multi

where discussions of Sexuality and Multiplicity is encouraged.

which I'm almost sure that you guy's are members of.

It being a community specifically ABOUT sexuality and multiplicity, then yes, that makes sense. As such, it even has a physical age-cap of 18 and requests that "littles" not post. This community does NOT have any such thing.

...I'm not going to start with "OMG Littles could read this by accident", as I personally find that to be the dumbest reason to maintain privacy.

i must say, that i'm horribly dissapointed of the people in this group.

i joined as a singleton, trying to learn the appripriate terms, learning what to, and not to say, and how to provide support when one of my friends came out to me as being multiple.

this post was something that was very important to Faith, and she felt the need to share it with people, who may have tried the same thing. as fellow multiples, you can understand much better how this has affected her, than i ever will be able to.

i just wanted to state again, how incredably disapointed i am in some of you. i wasn't aware that this place was turning into an anti-support group.

Goddamn it.

I do NOT disapprove of their success.

I do NOT disapprove of their reporting that to the group.

I -DO- think that it is unwise to post the description publicly in a well-known and infamous comm without any apparent consideration to how much this could HURT THEM IN THE FUTURE. LJ-cuts do not provide security whatsoever.

If trying to give advice against actions that could seriously lead to long-term humiliation and unnecessary grief-- possibilities which could easily be reduced by clicking a drop-down menu and selecting "Friends" instead of "Public" --counts as "anti-support", then fuck, what the hell IS support? Saying nothing but "Good for you!" and never saying anything remotely resembling "I wouldn't do that if I were you..."?

If I sound pissed, well, I am pissed. God forbid anyone acknowledge that sometimes something might be a bad idea. It's not "supportive". From now on, I'll never say anything if it isn't "GO YOU! YOU ROCK AND DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THAT COULD BITE YOU IN THE ASS LATER!"

OTOH, it's not a support group either. The original design for this group was based on the uncensored email list Dark Personalities, which was basically a free-for-all discussion about any aspect of multiplicity. We instituted some ground rules to prevent the flamewars that happened so often on DP, but apart from that... there's no rule here that says everything needs to be met with approval, or that disagreement isn't allowed. It's not a "safe place" in the traditional sense. Arguments can and do happen, and I don't necessarily condone every single comment that is posted here, but expressing a negative reaction to something that someone else wrote, if it's not explicitly a flame, isn't against the rules.

This is not necessarily true—none of my group have ever 'travelled' to another body. I don't believe it's possible to do so, frankly, and so cannot relate to this very well at all.

It takes all kinds to form a community. :)
