Most of us start out as lurkers – i know i did! And when i left my first comments, and got a response, when i got my first comments on my own blog, i was thrilled and anxious at the same time. It was like having movie stars step into my home. (And i’m still friends with those first bloggers i met!)
i love getting comments – i imagine all bloggers do. So today, you, Gentle Reader, are invited to step out of reading mode and into commenting. No pressure, of course. Just a friendly invitation.
You can just say “hi.” You can comment anonymously. You can make up a name. (Full disclosure: “olivia” is not what i’m called at work.)
BDSM is not just about kinky sex. BDSM is about connection. So if you’re not connected somewhere with people who won’t judge you – in real life, or with your own blog, or by commenting on Other People’s Blogs – here’s your chance to step out and say a few words. Let us begin to get to know you.

Lurkers = number of views – (number of likes + number of commenters)
I’ve never really thought of them as lurkers. I like it. I’ll have to check out the rest of your site. Sounds interesting.
