It seems that my 2 personas are beginning to overlap. People have begun to ask aloud on my "real me" Twitter whether I am an SG. It's quite a compliment that my work has become recognizable, however, I'm a bit sensitive about the subject because the majority of people might not take kindly to me being erotically naked on the internet. I'm not ashamed of any of this, but I don't want to alienate anyone who doesn't understand what SG is about. I also find it a bit disrespectful and ill-considered to just call someone out on this kind of subject. So I must ask that if you happen to recognize me or my work in other spaces, and want to inquire as to whether this is me, message me in private or here on SG.

Thanks!

I sympathise!
Do most people not know?

I understand how you feel. I keep my SG life and my private life separate for similar reasons.

I shot a set for SG in the past and I don't think that there is anything wrong about that, but I prefer to avoid the juvenile and closed minded responses that would come from some people.

It just seems too common for people to feel that they should have the right to do what they want and to have the right the ban, censor and suppress the things they don't like. That's not embracing freedom, that's just expressing self interest.

My own attitudes are very liberal. I consider it important for people to treat each other with respect and care, but I have very little concern for what consenting people do with their bodies. Early on in life I decided that I like to be free and then I found myself wanting to ban violent sports like boxing. I thought about it and decided that freedom works both ways, you have to be tolerant in order to expect tolerance yourself.

I am sure that your situation will resolve itself in the end and I hope that the sort term hassle is not too great.

Considering that I consider you to be one of the true artists of this site, and come from a time on this site where the artistry was the main purpose behind it, I can fully understand where you're coming from. I hope your request gets honored.
