Costume party

[LukkyKnight]

Insightful Observation by Oscar Wilde:

Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

So, does your time here provide you a mask which allows you to reveal yourself?

 

[tswyk]

sometimes...to some people...

 

[LukkyKnight]

Are the avatars masks that conceal yet reveal?

 

[weed]

I don't think it gives me a mask but it gives me opportunity and venue I wouldn't otherwise have to talk about sex and sexuality the way I do here.

Anonymity makes me a little less shy, perhaps.

 

[PepperminTrish]

So, does your time here provide you a mask which allows you to reveal yourself?

Actually, it's a little bit more of the opposite for me. Here, I can take OFF my 'mask' and just be ME.

Observed by André Berthiaume, in Contretemps:

We all wear masks, and the time comes when we cannot remove them without removing some of our own skin.

But you are known here, not truly anonymous. By posting under a consistent nickname you grant us - all - the chance to build up a picture of who you are, weed. Just that I (we) don't know what street you live on isn't really anonymity, is it?

 

[weed]

Anonymous should someone who lives on my street read my posts.

If they only knew......

Interesting thread Lukky....

You come to know what or who......weed or april-wine or even LukkyKnight....may be. But still there is anonymity beyond my screen....You know my lips, you know my written voice, you may even know a little of my heart.....But the April of the real world, is somewhat shy and would never or almost never be as open.....

There are exceptions to every rule, there are those that know little bits of the inside of me.......Even so, rarely do all those bits see the light of day as they do here......Much of that has to do with the fact that all my, yours, their comments remain here for some time....

anonymity revealed

Interesting thread Lukky....

I don't hide who I am here, but I do say thing I wouldn't normally say because there are people here who accept what I say without immediate rejection.

But I can never run for Senate now.

 

[Purrde Flower]

There is a cetrain freedom you have on a community such as this. I always try and be myself

 

[Rubyfruit]

I have to make a colossal effort both here, and in real life, not to be completely open and honest about my life.

Hi Lukky

That's the way I choose my avatars. My avs are always part of the inner me, and especially something that Oman can identify with.

Part of my "shyness" in meeting others face-to-face (or LIT folks actually seeing much of ME in my avs) is that I find it easier to be more myself through words and pictures here at LIT. Some people (including myself, unfortunately) can be influenced more by the "visual" image of a person, and there's a chance some disappointment might develop once the costume is "off".

Now I'm not sure that this even makes sense!

I just wanted to respond to the idea of your question!

 

[Cheyenne]

So, does your time here provide you a mask which allows you to reveal yourself?

Yes. My name "Cheyenne" isn't known to anyone in my life away from Lit. A few people in my non-Lit life know there is a board that I spend a great deal of time at. But they haven't a clue that it is a porn board. When they try to guess what the site might be, I just don't correct or guide them.

The Cheyenne you see here behind the mask is really me. The people in my non-Lit life don't get to see parts of my life that I won't reveal to them.

 

[LukkyKnight]

So neither Cheyenne nor Ruby's gonna be running for Senate either, then? Well, we may have to start a club. ~chuckle~

Hmmmmm do they know about Magic?.......

If they do they probably recognize your lips.

 

[april-wine]

Re: Re: Re: Re: Costume party

Hmmmmm and which lips would those be.........

 

[LukkyKnight]

Touche'.






The ones that know the most about Magic, no?

 

[Cheyenne]

Re: Re: Re: Costume party

Hmmmmm do they know about Magic?.......

Nope, they don't. Well, one person does. Especially since he helped me with it last week.

Normal every day people in my life would probably be quite surprised to find me bare.

 

[april-wine]

LOL.......

some of them do - mine does - i can show a side of myself here that i can't in the real world - my "world" is far too conservative


hey lukky - have you had sex lately???? hehehe

 

[weed]

Jenny, you make perfect sense.

 

[LukkyKnight]

That would be the back side, clearly.

Oh good, let's gloat some more. It's not bad enough I'm sitting here on a Friday night, you have to remind me I'm alone again.

You be nice or I may take my thread and go home.

 

[JennyOmanHill]

Jenny, you make perfect sense.

Whew!

Thanks, Weed!
