Disclosure

[scarfman]

Having stated, when I posted about fandomsecrets, that I don't keep secrets, I feel compelled to make this followup post.

As I continued to go through the community archives and read each day's new post, I noticed that the secrets I enjoyed and remember most aren't the ones about the fandoms I'm in. They're not the ones with opinions I agree with. They're the ones with true sex stories*.

I went on to discover from fandomsecrets's profile page that the "secrets" format comes from the community ljsecret, where I discovered an even higher ratio of sex-related secrets. I lost interest in the fandomsecrets archives, though I still read each new post; and have started going through the ljsecret archive instead and reading new ljsecrets posts as they arrive. And sometimes to entertain myself I draft made up secrets (with no desire to post them).

I think that the reason I draw privately-circulated fanfiction cartoons for grownups is to compensate my id for having had an unadventurous adolescence. My interest in ljsecret appears to be another symptom of the same thing.

In my fandomsecrets post I offered some examples of typical secret types. Here's some paraphrasures from memory of ljsecret and fandomsecrets secrets that stuck in my mind.

I had a sexual relationship with my twin brother for four years. Three weeks ago he died in a car accident and no one knows the real reason I'm so broken up.

I lost my virginity to a guy at a party because he looks just like this character. I'm trying to lose weight so he'll sleep with me again.

I go for men who try to father me. I'm 16 and I keep sleeping with guys in their forties. What's wrong with me?

I can't orgasm unless I pretend my boyfriend is this character making me beg to come.

I had sex with my best friend (her boyfriend doesn't care), and it was the first time a girl came with me in her, and the first time I came in a girl.
The girl I'm in love with was in bed with us.
She makes out with us all the time (her boyfriend doesn't care). When I said, "That was the best sex ever!", I think she was jealous.
