I’m at most a lurker and don’t really say much. However, I like your blogs and NWSO but I voted for you!

I agree completely with Ms. Cocoa Luv. When I told my best friend I was starting a blog she read it and was like “oh its cute but it’s not something I would follow. “When I asked why she was like well I don’t really want to hear what you have to say. I’d rather learn about what a man thinks, so I can understand them (read: catch one).

And I definitely understand where you are coming from. Especially when some of the S&R finalists, write about S&R only 20% of the time- at least let that be your specialty if you’re getting nominated for it.

But PMS loves what you do so keep up the good work!

Personally, I like your blunt voice, but that’s just me. I think for some women, it’s an adjustment to accept such frank comments about sex and dating.

Echoing Belle’s statements: You started this because you were passionate about it and you’re doing a great job! Keep it up! In time, the rest will follow.

Hey– while I was nominated by a reader and would have loved to be a finalist. I think the real judgment on the “love” is what you can do with the project. Awards are great, but I don’t know any sex and relationships blogger who is doing this SOLELY to share. The goal is to make a living and a lifestyle off of your passion. I think that several woman-bloggers who may not have been finalists have achieved that. An award or becoming a finalist is one way of defining success, there are others. My blog got me… a lot. I feel successful and not at all slighted that the S&R blog finalists were men.

What you do is valuable. VERY. You’ll gain your recognition in your own way in your time.

I’m happy for Socks. He EARNED those nods.

I think that people tend to go more for the man’s blog is because a womans opinion tends to be viewed as having an emotional answer to topics of sex. However I did a special edition for INTRO called “The Black Edition” where I talked about the Male Orgasm and Performing Oral Lovemaking on a woman. I actually got a lot of respect from male readers.

I think what happens is most women like to hear about relationships from a male point of view because for whatever reason their opinions are valued more over their girlfriends. Not sure why this is the case, but I would say that women like to know what goes on in the male brain from the male because though our girlfriends try as they may can’t figure out the species of men.
