i consistently filter around children and certain types of people but most of my true friends are like myself, and we only use the filter as needed. it is nice to have this outlet and to be able to be your true self, not just for smut but for all the areas it allows you to disclose and learn about from another’s pov. i am different in many ways than some of my closer friends (male and female) so their input and perspective is always welcome, even if we agree to disagree.
