Added a new section to the sidebar: EROTIC BLOGS/JOURNALS, where I'll put links to any other examples of verbal exhibitionism that I happen to, ahem, come across. The first entry is My-Journal.com, a free site where members can keep journals detailing their most intimate thoughts for the titillation of total strangers, as well as gab with other diarists in a discussion-board forum.

The demographics are somewhat skewed towards straight females who invariably describe their journals with some variation of the phrase ''random musings'' (wasn't that the name of Peggy's short-lived weekly column on King of the Hill?), but there's some quality writing to be found if you poke around a little.

I'd point out Too Much Information, a polished and sexy effort by a 33-year-old straight guy. Also, the site's creator informs me that he'd be very happy to see more participation by gay men (or just guys who enjoy erotic contact with other males, howsoever you personally identify), so if you've been thinking about keeping your own dirty diary, check the site out -- the interface is easy to use even if you consider yourself computer illiterate.
