*** Please be careful *** (Patreon)

I haven't made a post like this in a couple of years and maybe I should say it more often as it's often been on my mind.  I'm inspired today to repeat an old post and add to it a bit.

It's a topic that's very very important to me: Your Safety.

Below is a repost of a message I shared a few years ago.  I'll add more thoughts to the end.

I received this message today from a guy who has apparently been letting a woman believe he was me.   He is a creep.

I want to be very very clear about this.  Your safety is important to me.

If anyone is EVER attempting to get you to believe that they are me, and we are in a relationship...

It is NOT me.

One thing I take very seriously is your safety and your trust.

The whole reason I create the work that I do, is to help you feel confident, strong & beautiful.

My hope is that you would take that confidence out into the real world and life a full, happy life. Not so that you could become focused on the guy with the microphone and be robbed of that full life.  You deserve something real.

I want to help you overcome your difficulties, not become one of them.  That is why I keep a safe personal distance from my listeners.

If there is someone you're talking to online that is pretending to be me in order to get something from you, I promise that it is not me and that you can feel completely justified in calling them a creep and never speaking to them again.

You are worth so much more than this poor treatment.

I adore you all.  I value you all.

I do not get involved with my listeners because of that love and respect I have for you.

You are all wonderful, special people who are worthy love and happiness and it is because I respect you all a great deal that I would never abuse my platform in that way.

I'm sorry for such a strong message but I felt it was so important that you know this.

Be careful online, my Lovelies.

There are many good people out there but there are also liars and predators.

Keep yourself safe.  Don't share your information with people you don't know.

Just please please be safe.

2021 Thoughts

In a time when so many people are suffering, it's normal to seek out comfort.  

Over the years I've seen the predators on the prowl and have taken steps to keep them at bay where I can.  I block accounts that look sleazy in an attempt to keep them away from my follower list so they don't bother you.

Knowing there are people who actively seek out listeners of erotic content, I strive to protect and keep minors away from my content.  By having my erotic material removed from youtube by people who have taken it (an ongoing struggle unfortunately), I remove followers I find out are under 18.  I've begun making my erotic content more difficult to access, unless you verify your age before you can view it.

I know I can't stop every minor from getting access and I can't keep every creep away but  it's always been foremost on my mind to be worthy of the trust I've been given.  And it's always in my heart to protect you as best I can.

I am proud of the community we have here, the encouragement and the empowerment, the healing, the sharing.  I know I can't control what happens to you outside of the "Walls" of Gaelandia. But where I do have say, I will do my best to keep you safe.

But Please look after yourselves.  Look after each other.

Not every online artist is doing it just for the sake of the art.  Not every "Daddy" or "dom" on Twitter has your best interest at heart.  You have to be vigilant and make sure you are not sharing your life online in ways that could put you in danger.

I know this is a heavy topic, but I feel strongly that it's something that needs to be said from time to time.  

Please continue being the kind, inspiring, friendly people I've always known you to be, just with a dash more thought to what can be lurking out there.

If you ever feel unsafe, reach out.  There are people and resources in place to be on your team and help you be safe online.  You are never alone.

All my love to you, dearest lovelies.

P.S 

Please do not use this post to talk about specific incidents or call anyone out.  I'm not seeking to be judge jury and executioner or to incite a witchhunt.  I do however, very much want you to be mindful of your safety.
