First, a note from yesterday: Natasha totally loved the gift I picked out, and I remain the queen of gift-giving. yay!
Now on to other things: I am attempting to re-categorize and update the review index. I do not want to make it too extensive, because the longer the list, sometimes the more difficult it is to find what you want. However, I do want to keep it as sex-positive and gender-positive as possible, while still making it easy for people to figure out the categories. This is important, and falls into the “not everyone lives in the love bubble” area. Terminology that might be totally normal to me, may not be so well known to the very broad audience that comes here. So, with advice from the wonderful Courtney Trouble, and of course AAG, I am in the midst of the work in progress, shown below, and am eliciting comments/suggestions. Email or comment away, any and all help is appreciated.

The only thing I though of off the top of my head is maybe a Transexual category under the Written Word. The rest all made sense to me and seem really comprehensive.

Are you including the milf’s under the mature category?

hi Kev,
actually, I suppose I wouldn’t. When I think “milf” and how it’s portrayed, I think of late twenties, low thirties. I suppose I’ll add a separate category.
and let me not even get started about terms like “cougar” and “milf”, that’s a whole blog entry to itself. heh. :)

Yes, trans & genderqueer categories under written word, please, if there are enough appropriate links.
You could add more fetish categories of course: braces, for example. (I suspect that braces fetish tends to overlap with “legal teen,” which could be a subcategory, or a set of subcategories, under “mainstream” images, if you want to make one.)

I think you need at least one more category of Adult Blogs; possibly just “Adult Blogs” with no descriptor or “Adult Blogs: General”.
Trouble is, I can’t see how to cram my blog, or Violet Blue’s, or AAG’s, into any of these existing categories. AAG might be predominantly personal, but at times she’s done a lot of reviews and some pictures; Violet Blue does more pictures than what I think of as a personal blog but puts more of herself into her blog than I do; and my blog isn’t very personal at all, but in addition to pictures covers adult topics of all sorts without being very personal. It feels to me like you’ve got some of the specialized subcategories that are out there, but nothing appropriate for blogs that aren’t specialized.
Hope this helps!
