Fandom Secrets

Over at LJ's [info - personal] fandomsecrets someone made a podfic secret (thanks to [personal profile] brimtoast for the link).

I'm really curious as to what others in the podfic community think of it, it's had some very mixed reactions in the thread I linked to above.

Eh. It's just a little sad how a lot of the knee jerk reactions in that post were along the lines of how creepy and gross it was, how the secret poster should have just kept it to themselves.

Old habits die hard and I still squirm a little when trying to talk about these things but really, we shouldn't.

I think most of us grew up with that whole silence on female masturbation (shame isn't just for catholics!) but look at the environment we're in now! Surely it should be different and easier to admit that it happens? But you're right, we at least now have a space where we *can* discuss it even if it *is* still a little weird and awkward.
