  Okay, it’s almost too close to the expiration date for a response to “A good reason for multiple accounts on Squidoo?”, but hear goes: I would rather write porn under my one account than hide behind some mask of mystery to write it.

  It is all about the comfort of personal branding. Wherever I go, I want to announce that Drifter and Alex are one in the same. When folks recognize that, they know what they get. If I have written porn, then they know that.

  They are warned. The option is theirs to read it or not.

  I know the very first opposition to this is going to be, “What about those who stumble across the porn by accident and find your name attached?”

  This ain’t Walgreen’s, and besides that, how often does that really happen. C’mon now.

  The whole issue is about personal comfort. I think if one feels like they need to protect their rep by creating an alternate account to write adult oriented material, then there is at least a small amount of discomfort.

  Does this make sensual..er..I mean, sense?

  A good reason for multiple accounts on Squidoo? 

  I’ve been following some of the controversy about multiple accounts on Squidoo, and I’ve just thought of something that may be a justification for continuing to allow lensmasters to have more than one account: adult content. If I were interested in publishing content that was not safe for all audiences, I would certainly want to have the option of doing so under a separate, anonymous account. I assume this is what some of our best authors are doing, if they have lenses that contain explicit material.

  I don’t write or read adult-oriented lenses myself, but as others have said, adult content on Squidoo isn’t going away and it seems foolish to deny that it probably brings in a nice profit for the lensmasters who create it. I think online authors of explicit material should have the right to protect their professional reputation, and it seems to me that the best way for them to do this on Squidoo is to publish that material under an account that is not the one they use for their family-oriented lenses.

  I’d like to hear other people’s thoughts on this… do you think lensmasters should have the option of creating a separate and anonymous account for their adult content? If not, why should this not be encouraged?

  People buy weird stuff off my bra lenses. 

  

  I can’t decide which is funnier: the vibrator, or the Three Little Bears books. This sort of thing is the real reason I’m still on Squidoo.

  What’s the word?! What the hell kind of thing is that to prompt a status update? I could have at least said “what the fuck is the go?”
