Hey lovelies <3
I've been keeping busy as usual, but all this excitement about saving and moving to Denver has me ready to freshen up my SG account a bit. I want to say hiiiiiiiiiiiii! I can't wait to shoot more SG sets the next few months. I want to converse on here like I did two years or even a year ago. I know there are some awesome humans on here and I want to get to know you. Getting to know you, letting me study and absorb human energy, allows me to put my heavy mind at rest. It also makes my art flourish.
With that in mind, I'd like to start posting snippet blogs and full blogs on here from my website Freaks Emporium in addition to the SG blog homeworks <3
I just think it'd be an interesting way for you guys to get to know me and connect with me as I make my gypsy journey through the rest of my twenties across the world.
Here's a blog I wrote about a topic on female nipple censorship. I felt it'd be perfect for my SuicideGirls friends to relate, discuss opinions, share love, and hopefully share my message.

Why Do We Crave All Things Bad?
The world sexualizes abuse because of sexual censorship. The wrong things become sexualized because of the guilty pleasure we inevitably find in indulging in what is sinful because we are taught that good things are sinful and sinful things we cannot partake in. Guilty pleasures are probably our most number one desire. The reality is, we promote behavior of hiding our sexual desires by hiding and censoring things that aren’t even unnatural or shameful. The most obvious example being, censoring women’s chests because our culture has labeled nipples as sexual. By censoring women's chests it only draws obvious attention to the one thing we're trying so hard to keep everyone from focusing on. This would also mean that the belief that ‘only women’s chests are sexual’ is ingrained in us since birth because of the images we are trained to dismiss as bad when only our natural instincts of curiosity are trying to set free. As we try to hide are natural sexual behavior so that it is holy, private, wholesome, good, pure, and meaningful we only provoke it further, making our animalistic instincts take over in the most inappropriate circumstances. This also links to the desire of rape play and rough sex. We are taught sexual behaviors are bad so we expect punishment. Punishment is then fantasized because it is linked to indulging in “taboo” sexual behavior.
Men’s nipples aren’t sexualized because they are allowed to be exposed in normal human settings. This means men are less sexualized in comparison to women so it makes men less acceptable to behave femininely. We compartmentalize our sexual desires with labels, naming these as feminine, and those as masculine. This provokes men to take on the dominant role in control to comply with the wants of the masses, while the women are meant to obey. In reality this promotes submissive thoughts to people who are forced to always perform as their “proper” gender role instead of allowing our sexual activity to flow openly without shame. The “proper” sexual roles we are meant to play as a result of censorship are conflicting and confusing, which has made us sexualize and fantasize physical abuse.
Humans with such fragile and absorbent psyches complicate things with unjustified shaming. Playing roles or living a role of sexual behavior now needs to be accepted, but in order to prevent true rape culture, man shaming, and gender shaming in general we must stop censoring the female nipple. The major point I always like to make is: how can we blindly continue accepting "rules" to allow violence to be a part of our visual intake, but not allow pieces of the natural human form? Violence is natural, but so are our bodies. Why is one justified to completely be exposed to the world while the other remains behind closed doors and behind tacky censor blocks only? We perpetuate the culture we exist in by allowing others to tell us what is good and what is bad. Haven't we learned yet that bad and good are the most subjective terms in the english language? It's time to broaden our minds and take off our shirts, without shaming. While shaming will always exist in human culture, it is our choice to decide to feel ashamed or decide to feel empowered.
Decide to put the rawest, realest, parts of you out into each and every life scheme because our roots are twisted deep, resulting in even more twisted sexual cultures. Now it is time to work with these cultures. There is a place for us all. Even if we are alone there is a place. We must defend ourselves. We must defend our ground. We must live freely to ignite our spirits true meaning.
Stop shaming others. Stop shaming yourselves. Make the choice to never feel ashamed again.
Take this time to address the dark thoughts that provoke your self hate stemming from society. Channel your feelings by engaging in some selfish activities. It's a good process to get into to train your brain into understanding what is actually good for you and actually bad for you. Energies are more important than words. Train your energies so that your actions stem from genuine places in your soul instead of artificial standards you were trained to like.
