Now anyone who’s been to this site could easily glean one thing; Kevin is feeling a little lonely and looking for friends. Kevin also likes to be naked and likes other people that are comfortable with this.So Kevin goes onto the web in all of his glory (well, not so much glory but I did put it all out there) and I start to interact with people across the globe via the worldwide web. I’ve had exchanges with men and women in other states and other countries and for the most part, I’ve had a blast. I love the diversity in people who all share a small common bond but allow that bond to open up new relationships, regardless of all the differences in their lives. I don’t want everyone to be just like me and I am so glad there are others out in the world that embrace the variety others can bring into their day - the challenges and perspectives that someone else can present – beliefs and ideologies and experiences that make me ponder and question and learn...
And boy is I learning.
Let’s cover the bad part of naked social networking first:
If you want to have a conversation over a web cam, please make sure that we’re going to have a conversation and that I would be able to see your face, not just your genitalia. I personally appreciate genitalia and I am by no means prude, but on our first interaction let me see a face with a smile, and then ask me if I’m looking to watch you jerk-off - that’s the only request I make. I’m sorry if I make anyone mad and by no means am I saying this is inappropriate behavior between adults, it’s just that I want a little more.
Yes, Kevin is naïve.
But now the good part:
After going onto a site where I have a profile posted (and after shutting down IM to avoid pop-ups inquiring about joint masturbation sessions), I received a post regarding my profile; it was open and friendly and inquisitive and complimentary. I responded to this person and then the dialogue started to go back and forth. With each response, I found myself wanting to express more, say more about myself and learn more about this person in return. There were topics which made my replies exceed my approved allotment of characters in that darn little text box, and every new thread seemed to make each of us want to know more and share more of each others life and experiences and opinions.
I really like it when you feel you have something to look forward to each day because a new and interesting person has entered your life, digitally or otherwise.
New friend; thanks for being the highlight of a crappy day yesterday.
Now, since this person is happily married, it always brings up the topic of whether people who meet in this kind of climate can truly just be friends. I’m trying to be adult and say yes, but we all know what kinds of things can happen. I think I’ve already admitted I wear my heart on my sleeve and am the first to admit I misread peoples intentions and comments on an hourly basis – If we talk and I ask you to explain yourself or request that you be blunt, I’m doing this to prevent myself from making a bad assumptions, not because I’m stupid.
Okay – I can be stupid.
Anyway, here’s to new friends, the joys of naked surfing, and looking forward to opening your inbox…
