Stuff 69: Non-Expert Advice

By J.J. Atwell

I’ll say it again

As I said in Stuff #47 that Stana published on October 14, 2024, I’m not an expert. I’m just somebody with an opinion on CDing who also enjoys writing about it. I happily report my observations of the real world and the sometimes imaginary world inside my head. In other words, I have an opinion and I’m not afraid to write about it. 

Why am I repeating this?

Because there are so many “experts” out there already. I just want to present my opinions and offer advice from my perspective as an ordinary CD. I have no formal training in the subject. I have nothing to base my writing on other than my real life interactions. 

No, I didn’t stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, but I do read a lot on the subject of CDing. I find even that is somewhat problematic as those authors may not be representative of me. Just like you should be aware that just because I’m writing something here in Stuff, it doesn’t mean it applies to you. Or that it is even accurate. 

Be Yourself

Having said all that, I hope my readers find my writing to be interesting, amusing, helpful and provides food for thought. It’s always good to be a bit introspective in life. Please take what I write and think if it applies to your personal circumstance and life experience. 

I’ve chatted with several of the other authors that Stana regularly publishes here on Femulate and we all have our own perspective. We all enjoy writing about our views, but, again, they are our views. As far as I know, none of us have any academic qualifications to dispense advice. You should decide for yourself whenever you read anything online as to the applicability of it to your life. 

I’ll be back

Yes, I’ll be finding more Stuff to write about. I welcome comments and suggestions here on Stana’s page (in the Comments below) or by email at Jenn6nov at-sign gmail dot com.

  4. I love reading other people's firsthand accounts of their CD experiences!! It's a wonderful reminder that we're not alone in having these "unusual" thoughts, desires, actions. There are also usually helpful tidbits, such as shapewear or clothing advice, to be found in their words.

    I also enjoy doing my own writing. Oftentimes it's short stories of Elise in a variety of situations, allowing me to better understand my own thoughts and feelings as I travel this journey.

  5. JJ dear, good post! No one of us knows everything, but between us all we know a right lot of stuff. So great that we can all share what we know and observe here, and find a path that works for each of us. Keep Stuff coming girl!
