Sunshine Moontime

Just to be clear, I’d like you to know:

• I am writer, poet, and essayist.

• I produce literary and cultural commentary.

• I include artistic self-portrait photography.

• I am not selling sexual services.

• I am not promoting or distributing explicit sexual acts.

• I am not operating in the adult entertainment industry.

Two Years Ago, I Started Posting Nudes on Reddit

A poet, mother, and newly divorced woman started over in the middle of life (age 51). She was seeking an authentic erotic voice in a culture that erases older women.

On Reddit, I have 14,000 followers.

I am a writer, first and foremost. Separating my erotic life from the rest of my life came at a real cost. I am an artist with a sensual relationship to the world, and I refuse to amputate my aliveness in order to appear reasonable.

Why this, Why now?

I have been asked if I “sell content” countless times. I can’t do it. It just violates my creative exogeneity for doing this in the first place. And yet: I post and delete constantly for fear of being discovered. But what if I could have a permanent home for my spicy musings? My erotic photos preserved & protected behind a modest paywall? What if I could send links to other explicit content elsewhere? What if audience and author could have reciprocated needs and goals met?

Maybe Substack is it!

Could this be a safe space for me to exorcise my need to scream against invisibility? To provide a space for honest conversation? Invite an audience to participate through language & art?

I Have 30,000 Photos in my Archive

Subscribers will get access to old content. I want to stay within the rules.

I’ll post weekly, though, I’m posting almost every day as I get this started. I will never post my face. My identity is still something I need to protect. Y’all get it.
