A lot of you provided some very interesting answers, both in the previous journal and the anonymous form!
I've also seen some of you getting into conversations and stuff, which I also appreciate.
I think my desire to be creative, on FA or anywhere, is twofold:
1) There's things that I like that there isn't enough of or isn't done in the particular way that -I- want, so I feel the urge to fill in those gaps.
2) tl;dr - I feel the more people understand their kinky sides (rather than fear them), the better their world gets and the better the rest of the world gets in turn.
I've seen social stigmas cause more problems than not. As long as your kinks do not infringe or abuse the existence of others, then there is nothing wrong with it. And if your kinks do abuse others, then you likely feel bad in some way, and exploring the kinks fictionally can help determine the "essence" of why you want that, which can allow you to find healthier outlets that don't harm others. In all cases, being afraid of ideas, and fear of exploring them, only leads to disharmony and anguish, while understanding and exploration of ideas can distill their essences into healthy identities of self. I feel that's true of many aspects of life, but the sexual is one of the most socially stigmatized.
Overall, everybody sharing helped me understand others more, and myself. There are many kinks I cannot focus on in my creations, because I myself do not need them and thus cannot sufficiently present them, but understanding what others look may help translating some of the essence of those kinks into some of my own.
A bit philosophical and whatnot. Point is: Thanks for sharing!
