The freedom to use a blog to express any opinion is a mixed blessing, according to psychologist Dr Petra Boynton.
"You don't quite know if someone you meet is going to be blogging about it," she says. "There are no guidelines or books that tell you the right way to do it."

I need to start me a sex blog. It would be mostly about where I was online and who I was jerking to. And fantastic thing they were doing. And when I write about my person to person exploits I don't identify them out of my shame. So I am ok there...
And if somebody I was having it off with was to write or talk about it. Well if it was bad I would not acknowledge it and run around trying to find someone to do it with right so I would get a more glowing report. But if it was good I would just be a little coy, while dropping a lot of hints.
