When it comes to lifestyle blogging, is omission of certain “lifestyle elements” untruthful or tactical?<\/strong><\/p>\n New York Magazine's The Cut<\/em> published an article Wednesday, “No Sex Please — We're Domestic Goddesses” exploring what the author, Lauren Sandler, calls “The Internet's most ostentatiously blissful women \u2014 the curators of domesticity on Pinterest, Tumblr, and thousands of female-driven blogs, ” saying they “occupy a sexless aspirational world.”<\/p>\n Citing Deb Perleman's Smitten's transformation into Smitten Kitchen<\/a> and the sister bloggers (Elsie and Emma) behind A Beautiful Mess<\/a>, Sandler says that a new kind of cyber-exhibitionism for women exists in lifestyle blogging; where these women are curating a perception of domestic bliss, without ever acknowledging that “physical pleasure exists, never mind its key role in domestic bliss.”<\/p>\n The article doesn't harp on or chastise these kinds bloggers, rather, the author acknowledges some of the sexuality issues facing modern women, and wonders if the readers, writers and curators of “food porn” and “shelter porn” couldn't all benefit from extending the intimacy of this blogging into the bedroom. She mentions Dooce<\/a> and The Pioneer Woman<\/a> as examples of content that spans a more all-encompassing “lifestyle” perspective.<\/p>\n
