Our fourth blogoversary – you know, the anniversary of the day on which we began blogging – is one month away. We started this blog on September 18, 2008. We posted on and off between then and July 2010, when our blog went on a thirteen-month hiatus as we adjusted to parenthood, a move, and other “major life changes“.
The real milestone that we’re observing today is our return to blogging after the aforementioned thirteen months of dormancy. One year ago today, as we adjusted to life after a particularly exciting and satisfying summer vacation, we decided to relaunch the blog as a means of taking the edge off of the routine into which we suspected we would fall. In actuality, the blog helped us to push our limits. Many of the things we’ve done since resuming the blog, including attending a sex club, having group sex, and much of our photography, has been at least partially motivated by the fact that we were blogging.
At first, we didn’t plan to blog as relentlessly as we have thusfar. Indeed, in August we blogged only five times. And while this seems meager, five posts was as much as or more than we’d blogged in any single month since February 2009. September saw us posting seventeen entries, which at the time was a record for us. We resumed participation in TMI Tuesday, a meme we’d enjoyed prior to our hiatus; as well as Sunday Stealing, HNT, and eventually others. We tried to balance out the number of memes in which we participated with original, free-form posts including erotic fiction, anecdotes about parenting, and analyses of sex-related news stories we’d come across. By October, we were posting daily, a pace that’s continued ever since, albeit with an occasional break on Saturdays.
And now, for some blog-related stats, because we know how much everyone likes reading stats:
Between the inception of our blog in 2008 and the end of our hiatus in 2011, we published 124 posts (with a per-month average of five posts between September 2008 and July 2010). From the end of our hiatus until today, we’ve published 432 posts (with a per-month average of thirty-four posts between August 2011 and July 2012). That’s a nearly 350% increase in one third the amount of time.
In the last year, we’ve participated in
TMI Tuesday forty-seven times. We’ve participated in
Sinful Sunday thirty-two times. We’ve done nineteen
HNT posts, twenty-eight
TNH posts, twenty-seven
Flash Fiction Fridays, thirty-nine
Formspring Fridays, seventeen
Wanton Wednesdays, and eleven
Wicked Wednesdays. That’s 238 meme posts, and thus 194 posts consisting of original non-meme content, or else original weekly features of our own invention, including Monday pictures, Retro HNT, Sunday Scoreboard, etc.
We’re pretty proud of ourselves. We’ve always intended for this blog to be an outlet as well as a permanent repository of our sexual thoughts, fantasies, and accomplishments, and for the most part we’ve been successful. We enjoy going through our archives and reading our old stuff. We find that the sexy content turns us on as much as the funny, often sarcastic content amuses us. We hope that you can say the same.
If you’ve read this far, we might as well thank you. While we blog primarily for ourselves, it’s the feedback we get from our readers, and for that matter the simple knowledge that someone we will likely never meet, and in some cases never even interact with, took the time to read what we have to say, that makes blogging almost every single day for a year not difficult at all. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, and how about a dirty picture?
J&J congratulations on your upcoming blogoversary.
You both come across as real and it is nice to see a couple that balances their daily life while still exploring their sexuality
Kudos to you both and I look forward to reading about more of your sexploits.

I have no doubt I’m not alone in wanting to thank you in return for everything (including the photographic treat).
Happy blogoversary – congratulations, J&J… x
39 Formspring Fridays??? 39? Wow, that’s awesome for our own lil homegrown, grassroots meme! I, for one, am glad you continue to blog. While I don’t read it as often as I used to (not your fault) and I certainly don’t comment as often as I should…I always enjoy your blog!
Congratulations. I too am edging toward a blogging anniversary and can relate on how it can consume your mind and imagination – especially when it comes to sex.
Thank you for sharing as much as you have, and thank you for all the comments you’ve left on my blog. Looking forward to many more updates, thoughts and TMI Tuesdays!
