We all have them: dirty little secrets that we're not allowed to tell, naughty
little notions or actual actions that we'd get in trouble for telling.
We're afraid to be honest, afraid of hurting others, afraid of hurting
ourselves, or just afraid of admitting who we really are. There can be
advantages and disadvantages to keeping secrets, most of them being
disadvantages. It's time to air your sex secrets and yank them right out of the closet. "But, I can't!" you say. Well, you can, and you should. It's all right. You can do it safely. Just take my hand...
PostSecret is a very anonymous blog dedicated to anonymous telling of secrets. It's designed to allow you to confess once and for all and let go of a bit of that burden. It's there to let us be more ourselves by telling who we are, out loud. Don't just focus on the bad secrets, think of your positive ones as well.
PostSecret is a community art project but oh-so-much more. How does it work? You, yes, you, jot down your worst secret, your biggest baddest burden, on a postcard-sized slip of paper of postcard yourself. Others have found it medicinal to find a way to actually illustrate and visualize their burden. Write your secret on the card, on the same side as the postcard's face, and post it to the address found at the bottom of the site's homepage.
Now, there's a safe way to confess, and you don't even have to list your sins for your priest. Whether it's a fantasy, erotic desire, childhood story, or kind deed, you can now make it known to the world without disadvantage. What's my secret? There once was a time when I got intimate with a coworker, an older coworker, one who was unhappily married at the time, and needed my affection as much as I needed his. We were friends who crossed the line, and separated before we ever took a big leap into each other's arms, before our love for each other had the possibility of ill effect on others. It's our secret to this day. His now ex might use the info and his current wife might not even understand the office fling. I'll never let them find out...
