What This Community Means to Me

Seller Sellers’ Perspective What This Community Means to Me

Heyaa! I’m Eloise and I just wanted to write this blog to hopefully help people understand more about me and why I love this community so much. For those that don’t know me, I’m usually clogging up your dash with ‘This or That 🤪 ’ polls or fan-girling on your pictures. I also recently ran the ATW Awards 🏆 which I hope will make a comeback in the future too. I’m engaged, in an open-relationship and he is fully supportive of my presence on ATW.

Discovering ATW

Personally, I have a demanding job as well as a demanding family life. I come from a small family where I can sometimes be used as a verbal punching bag which is masked as ‘just being honest’. My weight is often a topic of conversation as I have gained quite a bit of weight in the last 5 years or so. I struggle with this, and my confidence hit rock bottom if I’m honest.

Then I discovered ATW in 2020. Originally joining to explore my foot fetish more with likeminded people, I soon had my eyes opened to the huge range of things that could be offered and I loved it. Within a few weeks my confidence had grew ten-fold and I felt accepted. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the time required to put my all into this so I left as I can never half-arse things.

I rejoined in Jan 2023, hoping that this place was still as accepting and uplifting as when I first joined, and it was. Of course, I wanted to make some money but my number one reason for coming back was the community and how it made me feel. I feel like I can truly be myself on here, like I don’t have to hide or filter myself.

I am well aware that everyone has a different reason for being here. Some are here strictly for the sales and that is completely fine. However, for those that are like me, scrolling through the dash, seeing the fun games and the successes of others, really does provide a light of positivity to my life and it’s like an addiction! This place has replaced most of my social media because I’m able to be my authentic self.

Community spirit

Having a community spirit on ATW is necessary for all. Without it, both genuine sellers and buyers leave, so it is in the best interest for all, no matter your reason for being here, to contribute to it.

Putting a smile on someone else’s face should be a priority for everyone - we should be uplifting each other and celebrating others’ successes. We all have a natural instinct to be kind, so let’s use that!

My tips and tricks for spreading positivity and keeping the community spirit alive

If you see a picture that looks sexy as hell, like it and comment on it. You don’t have to know that person. You can be the most secure person in the world but if you post and it gets 0 likes, you’re going to feel a certain way.
If you see someone starting a game or competition, then join in if you have the time. If you don’t have time to get involved, share a post to promote it for them.
Send someone a badge! 10 KinkCoins and you can put a huge smile on someone’s face and maybe help lift them from a negative space.
Message a fellow seller and link up on a listing. Get to know each other and help each other out where you can. Joint sexting is hooooooot 🥵
If you don’t offer what that buyer wants, suggest another seller that you know does (check with them first).
Check in with people. If you notice they’ve not been as active, then drop them a message and say hey!
Help a new seller or buyer to navigate the site and offer advice.
Buy from your fellow sellers.. trust me it’s worth it 😍
If someone posts about their successes, celebrate with them. It may not seem like much to you but they’re proud of it and probably excited to share.

Conclusion

What I’m trying to say is the interactions you have on ATW can have a huge and lasting effect on others, so let that be a positive one.

I’m not all sunshine and rainbows, I get awful anxiety and I have had negative experiences on here, however the positives far outweigh the negatives.

Remember, you can be the difference in someone’s life as to whether exploring their kinks was a negative or a positive thing. Remember you have the power to make or break that experience for them with every interaction you have.

ATW has hugely improved my confidence and made me feel more accepting of myself. I’m happier for being on here and I hope that others feel the same way too.

I hope this blog encourages you and motivates you to have more positive interactions and support each other on ATW. Let’s continue to build this one big, amazing community. I also hope it helped you understand me a little better 😊.
