We Don’t Talk About Sex? Ha!

I read somewhere recently that Americans are uncomfortable talking about sex. I’m not sure where I saw it, but it doesn’t matter — almost every magazine article about having better sex makes a statement like this. They don’t even bother to attribute it to anyone, but assume that we all know it’s true, and it merely needs to be restated for context.
Horsefeathers.
Americans are talking about sex all over the internet. In fact, to judge by the blogs, podcasts, chats and e-mail discussions, we can’t shut up about it.
We can read about sex at Salon.com and Nerve, hear about it at Tiny Nibbles and participate in it at Paltalk. The sex site Fleshbot posted a roundup of sexy podcasts just this week.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
