From My Desk—July, 2025
Today I
want to share some good news about From My Side of the Sling. You may remember that I was really disheartened
by the number of visitors to the site after Covid. I understood the drop—I had nothing much to
report for a long time. When things were
closer to normal, I found I was writing more—but still the number of visits to
the site were down a third and often way more.
As I began
reporting IML at the top of June this year, the number of daily hits suddenly doubled. Then tripled.
On June 24th, the number was 6.5 times higher than my daily
average. The flood gates opened on June 27: 18 times the number of visitors were reading—and
they were going through the back posts.
Two days later, I couldn’t believe that I had 23 times the regular number
of hits on the site. Thousands of
visitors.
It has
gone down slightly, now—we are averaging 17 times the number of hits compared
to the top of the year.
Brazil and
Vietnam have suddenly out-paced the USA in readership. (For all I know those could be readers here
in the US feeling forced to use a VPN.)
I still have a great smattering of hits from around the world. It used to by more English speaking countries,
but not anymore.
Welcome to
all new readers, wherever you are—and I love you are exploring the treasure trove
of material here.
I hope in
mentioning this I don’t jinx that huge growth in readership, but right now it
feels like a lovely summer reward for the years of work on honestly reporting
my sex life.

Speaking of
summer rewards…
