Hello, bonitos! Today, I'd like to uncloak a part of my life that might not be in everyone's books, but has indeed been bookmarked in mine. Yes, this Brazilian butterfly is going to flutter into territories often labelled 'taboo'. You see, with five decades under my belt, I've learned that confidence is paramount - in the bedroom, at the boardroom, on a bus... and especially in glossing over one's own porn bookmarks on a shared computer.
I remember it like it was yesterday - me, surrounded by my dearests and loved ones at our monthly Poly Chitchat. We'd gathered around my laptop for what was supposed to be our typical bonding catch-up, an open discussion about recent experiences - from safe practices and doting gestures to awkward 'no no' moments. Feeling a little bolder than usual, I seized this opportunity for a public confession - of sorts. I opened it up, not just for dialogue, but for a live exhibition, the contents of which were my own private array of curiosities - my porn bookmarks.
At first, there was a frisson of surprise, eyebrows lifted in mirth; then came the warmth of acceptance. My heart was beating its own bossa nova rhythm, but the anxiety only lasted as long as an old samba track. The anxiety washed away; replaced by a wildly empowering sense of liberation. I felt like I'd truly let my people see me. So, what I'm getting at, bonitos, is that sometimes, being really 'you' involves a certain amount of exposure. It might seem daunting, but once it's out there, well, it just feels right. And isn't that what confidence is all about?  |
