Post Over Readings: Sex & Audience in the Blogosphere

This post will cover two concepts of the articles I read. Women using sex as a way to draw audiences and the second being over posting about intimate moments in a bloggers life.

Many women (but mostly men) who have been around the web for a while (for me it'll be about 10 years) know about Suicide Girls and a website which is similar called Gods Girls. These two websites have the same concept: alternative porn. Where in what you may want to call traditional porn women are very clean cut and for the most part tattoo free. These websites offer men and women the chance to see women with tattoos, piercings and other body modifications. The reason this came to mind is that a while back I found out my brother's ex girlfriend (they had been together for about 2 years) is a Gods Girl. She barely turned 18 and is now posts naked pictures on the internet.

It would be lesser known had she not posted a link on her myspace advertising her pictures. Which brings up both of the topics, using her body as a way to get more readers. The websites feature blogs which are available for members and non-members to read. As a way to get more readers she uses her pictures as a way to draw attention to the male and of course female population.

In the blogs the girls talk about private moments in their lives such as what went on in their day, trips, etc. The website also shows the location of the girls, which I would think would be a cause for concerned such as a creepy stalker or someone with dangerous motives.

In an age where data is easily available there can be severe consequences and dangers as well as a way to get your word out.
