This journal is meant to only inform you all. Nothing sentimental or sappy (though I will take a moment to say I seriously appreciate all of the love and support you all have shown for my characters, especially Sherri! <3). If you were concerned when you read the title, don't worry; it's nothing like that. I just wasn't sure what title to use.

Rather, I figured I might as well just try something and see what happens, because, as the title says... why not?

I know most of you are overwhelmingly male and I'm genuinely ok with that! I post art of Sherri (as well as all of my other characters) for everyone to enjoy, and if you like the character, I encourage you to continue enjoying that art no matter what your gender is, what your sexuality is... really no matter who you are or how you identify yourself, if you like Sherri, please, by all means: I post all of this art for everyone.

However, this leads me into the main reason of why I'm even writing this at all...

While I have nothing personally against guys, trans, etc., when it comes to sexual preferences, sometimes no matter how much you wish you weren't so narrow with your preferences, what turns you on is what turns you on, and what doesn't ... simply doesn't. Maybe it was the religious upbringing, maybe it was some childhood trauma that I've long since buried, or maybe I'm just too into boobs, but I prefer women. Females that are genetically female, always have been female, intend on continuing to be female--I certainly don't want to scare anyone off, and I absolutely don't want to offend anyone, but the simple truth is that I'm not in to guys, I'm not into trans, I'm not into anyone who's sex and/or gender could be described as "it's complicated"...

I'm straight. End of story.

But more times than I care to count, when someone messages me out of the blue trying to hit on me, flirt with me, get to know me, etc., they don't fit that description.

So, here's the thing:

I know this message will only apply to a very select few of you. In fact, depending on who even ends up reading this, I realize it's possible that it might not apply to any of you at all.

But if you've read this far, then I have a request of you, so please, keep reading.

If you--not your character, but you, sitting behind the keyboard, reading this journal--if you're one of the few female watchers I have, this message is for you:

I know not all of you would be interested in chatting. Some of you are just here for the art, and hey, if that's the case, I respect that. Hell, given the nature of most of the art I post, I wouldn't even be shocked if some of you are already in a relationship that would make it really awkward starting a conversation with someone who you know mostly only because of the lewd art he posts.

But here's the thing: as a straight male, it would be nice to hear from some of my female fans from time to time. While it's entirely possible that our conversation might go nowhere, and we might find that we really don't have much to talk about, who knows: maybe we'd get along quite well. After all, if you like the art I post, in theory we at least have something in common, even if it's a lewd something.

Simply put: I'd love to chat with you.

Of course, I don't want to give any false illusions, so allow me to be up front: It probably comes as no surprise that I can be very lewd in the right company, but despite that, I much prefer being naughty around those that I genuinely care about. Ideally, I'd love to find someone who I care about as a friend just as much as I'm interested in as a partner. Think "friends with benefits", with equal emphasis on both friends and benefits.

And I know this journal is already a massive wall of text, but I do have one last thing to add.

If you just so happen to be the shy type that's reading all this, thinking it sounds amazing, wanting to say hello, but feeling too nervous to be the first to send a message: I would happily message you first, but I have no way of knowing who you are without you telling me. So, if that is you, then please, consider this message my "hello" to you. All I ask is you find the courage to at least say "hi" back. All it takes is that one “hello” to start things off, and who knows, maybe I’m the guy for you.

Plus, I won't lie: I don't want to sound too much like a cliché guy and scare anyone off before we've even had a chance to talk, but honestly? The kind of female that’s the shy, submissive type that's almost embarrassed to admit how ridiculously over-the-top their sex drive is really, really sexy in my book--so you're genuinely not going to bother me by being a bit shy or too lewd.

If course, I've already almost written an essay here just to get to the point:

If you've read through all of the above, if you feel it describes you, and you're still here: Contact me. Start up a conversation. Even if it's just a simple "hello", it would be nice to hear from some of you.

You can reach me on Discord, just note me your profile ID and I’ll add you!

I hope to hear from you soon. :3

A BIG shout out to  Caerulus for his recent journal that hits the proverbial nail right on the head.
I used a lot from his journal because it almost EXACTLY says what I have been wanting to say, but just couldn’t find the right words to do so.
