After reblogging the article about Aliaa Magda Elmahdy (and her blog) from here I couldn’t imagine that this post will have so many hits. Yes, of course Aliaa became a legend in the #NudePhotoRevolutionary and she became sort of inspiration to a lot of people, and surely a disgrace to others. I’m actually very proud of her, she became some sort of inspiration for me, to do what I always wanted to do and talk about on my blog. My readers (I know I only have few) have noticed that I write a lot about relationships and of course, sex.
Yes, I will talk about sex, even more often in this blog. I hope people won’t judge me and won’t think that I’m doing it to draw attention. I just want to express my opinion and my experience (my lack of experience) with this field. After all, this is what the blog about anyway.
After reading the articles about Aliaa, I had this urgent need to see more of revolutionary women exposing their bodies to the camera. Of course it’s not always possible in our closed minded society. I also had this desire to expose my body. As people might know me, I’m a huge fan of my body, and I think all women should be a huge fan of their body. After all, it’s one of the gifts/possessions in our mortal life. I’m highly considering to expose my body, but surely I will do it without showing my face. Reasons? well, one, I’m not as brave, two, I have family.
I will need more support though to do this step.

[ update ]
I’m a huge fan of nudity, and yes some nude photography is pure art for me. Liberating our society (the Arab society) from sexual complexions is one of my hopes and dreams. I wish one day, sexuality wouldn’t become a huge issue and people won’t make such a great fuss about it. I wish that one day people would know that fornication isn’t a sin. And desires are normal and part of who we are as humans, despite of our sex and education.
I support Aliaa and I really like what she had done, and the nude photography on her blog were really nice. I just think it’s insane how people are still obsessed with the idea that she has made such a fuss. And that my blog has been visited by thousands simply because I reblogged an article that has to do with her. This blog had a very small numbers of hits before I published anything about her, and now I think it’s insane that more than a thousand visitors are hitting my blog.
Because of this change and progress of my blog I have decided to stick with my idea of reblogging articles and posts on sex in our society, because it concerns my blog. But I have decided not to take pictures of my nude body as I mentioned earlier in this post, because I don’t want to sell my blog for hits and I don’t want drama. As much as I want to expose my body I just think it’s stupid to show it when there are a lot of stupidity and drama. I’m not that desperate for attention.
