The Real Camille on HoboTrashcan
26 Jan
I’m a really lucky woman for many reasons, and one of them is that my site has afforded be many platforms to share my thoughts and express myself. Even non-porn-oriented sites have allowed me to come and spread the good news about beautiful porn… That makes me sound like an evangelist! :P One such site is HoboTrashcan, which shares the best of pop culture from all corners of the internet and beyond. We’re working on a monthly column of sorts called The Real Camille, which will meld my non-porn life with “lessons” about our sexual selves and our relationships… It’s taking form still, but I think it’s going to be great. For now, I’ve got my first piece up, which is all about our hang-ups. Here is a little snippet:
The vast majority of the population has some really hard lines in their minds about sexuality and how it interacts in our lives. We’re told that there’s a certain way to have and enjoy sex – as privately as possible! Anyone flagrantly exposing their sexual life, especially for financial gain, must have something wrong with them, right?
Wrong! (At least as far as I’m concerned.) I can’t speak for everyone, but my journey into the world of sharing my sexual self came very naturally and has left me whole and validated in my life.
There is no real reason why sex should be private. Our culture has had a very damaging effect when it comes to segmenting our “private” parts and our “private” moments. Our sexual education comes from on high, skewing the information for entertainment or for wholesomeness.
There’s very little real, frank talk about sex, especially its potential for good in relationships and just for ourselves. Without sounding too lofty and optimistic, that’s something I’m trying to undo in the world. It’s a big goal, but I’m not alone.
There’s more where that came from and you can see for yourself! What do you think? Do you agree with my assessment and what other steps should we all be taking to make the world a more open place?
While I believe in your right to be as public as you like, and appreciate some of the results (so I’d be an horrible hypocrite to condemn them, hein?), I prefer that sex be completely private in my life—it was the first part of my life in which my family did not interfere, and keeping it separate from the unpleasant world outside our doors seems more rewarding to me.
Or, more nastily toward myself, this is just the attitude of an hoarder, who is determined to hide what he has lest it be stolen somehow.

I think that is totally fair. I just think that having the option and not judging people who share it is very important. You can take the option or not.
