A brief introduction

I’ve been thinking about starting this blog for about three months now – kicking ideas around, trawling the other college sexblogs out there, messing around with WordPress – but what I’ve really been doing is stalling. Like in most areas of my life, as a writer it turns out that I’m extremely self-concious.

When you blog, you give up security and privacy and trust. Everything is out there; just a Google search away. And isn’t that the way bloggers want it? Don’t people blog because they’re narcisstic attention-seekers? (Fuck – and sex bloggers especially?)

I thought a lot about anonymity, about pen names – but honestly, even if you’re writing under a pen name there is no real way to be anonymous. Details give you away. I finally settled on a name but I don’t feel comfortable in it at all. It doesn’t sound or feel like me. But I’m too chicken write as me. If I did, it could potentially hurt or upset many people close to me, and I don’t want that to happen…

So for now – my name is Wilhelmina Wang. I’m 20 (turning 21 in October), female (both biologically and by expression), Eurasian, bisexual, and a junior at a top American university. I set foot in the States for the first time two years ago. I’m an English major - interested in fiction-writing, media and pop culture. I’ve yet to discover what I want to do with my life – just that I want it to be something awesomely creative and adventurous, and filled with people I love and care about.

I don’t actually know whether I’m a narcissitic attention-seeker or not. I’m blogging because I think about sex(uality) – and talk about it – way more than is probably good for me. And I’m writing to make people think, question, challenge, react, respond. I don’t really care how.
