I have been thinking about this social sharing society and where it will take us in the future, especially since Hannah Witton came to visit us at Lovehoney HQ.
This seems a good place to talk about these things as some of you have a huge involvement in the social world, as many of you are keen Bloggers and maybe even Vloggers yourself.
So it got me thinking about what you all think...
Would you rather Vlog or Blog?
Would you rather watch Vlogs or read Blogs?
Do you have a go to Vlogger that you watch, anything from lifestyle to sex tips?
Is there a Blogger you can not stop reading, again anything from lifestyle to sex?
Who is the most influential person to you in the Blogging/Vlogging world ?
I often find myself spiralling into a world of unboxing & reviewing YouTube videos, mainly on subscription boxes! Don't tell me I am the only one... HAHA
Would you rather Vlog or Blog? Blog! I'm not much of a public speaker and find it easier to get my thoughts across on paper. Also I would like to protect my identity.
Would you rather watch Vlogs or read Blogs? I prefer to read, I have watched some Vlogs but I feel like I get more info from the words.
Do you have a go to Vlogger that you watch, anything from lifestyle to sex tips? Nope
Is there a Blogger you can not stop reading, again anything from lifestyle to sex? There's a lot of bloggers I like and I jump about a lot, reading what's interesting to me and following links on twitter. If I had to pick the one I read the most and have been followong the longest (long before I discovered LH!) it has to be Oh Joy Sex Toy.
Who is the most influential person to you in the Blogging/Vlogging world ? Don't really have an answer to this one! I will say I have a lot of respect for all the sex bloggers I read and follow on Twitter. I can't really single one out.
All I see are toy review and unveiling vids on YouTube - but not the good kind, it's the crap my kids find! Surprise eggs are the bane of my life 😂😂
I prefer writing, and also prefer reading, so I'm more a blog person, and that's something I would like to start myself but there are so many people already blogging, I feel like I'd get lost in the crowd. My face is already all over here and Twitter so anonymity isn't an issue where vlogging is concerned, and that is tempting. Definitely easier to talk and show off a toy than it is to write about it, but lingerie would be more a blog subject for me. I'm so helpful 😅😅
Would you rather Vlog or Blog? Blog, I'm super awkward on videos but I write fairly well (in my opinion anyway)
Would you rather watch Vlogs or read Blogs? If I'm looking for information, I'd rather read. It means I can skip to the parts I'm actually interested in fairly easily, and I can read at my own speed. With vlogs it's really dictated by the vlogger.
Bonus points for blogs that also include really short videos of the product when it's turned on, or interesting features.
Do you have a go to Vlogger that you watch, anything from lifestyle to sex tips? Nope
Is there a Blogger you can not stop reading, again anything from lifestyle to sex? Don't really read lifestyle blogs, but The Notice comes to mind as a good combination of both. She makes me want products I wouldn't have considered otherwise http://thenotice.net
Who is the most influential person to you in the Blogging/Vlogging world? In terms of sex toys, Dangerous Lilly hands down. If she says a sex toy is likely to be bad, I'm trusting her. If she recommends something, it goes straight on my wishlist. I also recommend her to other people.
Runners up would be Epiphora, Oh Joy Sex Toy, dizzygirl, theNotice

OMG those surprise egg videos! I totally feel ya haha 😂
Would you rather Vlog or Blog? Blog I love love love writing!
Would you rather watch Vlogs or read Blogs? I enjoy both every day but have a preference for vlogs as more info can be gained in a shorter amount of time.
Do you have a go to Vlogger that you watch, anything from lifestyle to sex tips? I watch a YouTuber called hayley paige a lot (very different niche though). I've looked for sex vlogs on YouTube but have never had much luck.
Is there a Blogger you can not stop reading, again anything from lifestyle to sex? Girlonthenet Her writings amazing and I can get lost in her blog.
Who is the most influential person to you in the Blogging/Vlogging world ? Dangerouslily - she uses her blog to educate on important things in a clear honest way.
I'd love to vlog, and would probably do it if my accent wasn't that shitty and if I didn't need to be anonymus.
- Would you rather watch Vlogs or read Blogs?
It really depends on how I feel. Sometimes I don't feel like watching something with the sound on and everything, and other times I just can't seem to be able to read.
- Do you have a go to Vlogger that you watch, anything from lifestyle to sex tips?
I don't. When I'm looking for a video on a certain topic, I just search it on youtube and watch whatever seems relevant. However, Jess kinda is my go-to vlogger for bondage :)
- Is there a Blogger you can not stop reading, again anything from lifestyle to sex?
Sadly there is none. I tend to stick to some topics and content rather than bloggers/vloggers themselves. Of course there are some that I like a lot, but I don't systematically read/watch all their stuff.
- Who is the most influential person to you in the Blogging/Vlogging world ?
In the sex toy industry, Epiphora and Lilly definitely are big names. You can't get around readong some sex blogs without reading theirs.
Blog. I have an aversion to cameras and a job I could get fired from if they found out I blogged/Vlogged about the things I do.
Would you rather watch Vlogs or read Blogs?
Read blogs. I don't have a very good attention span for videos for some reason. I also often read things on my phone on the bus and while that's fine when it's just words because you'd actually have to be purposefully reading over my shoulder to know what I was reading, I'd be very worried someone could catch sight of a dildo in a Vlog and it could make them uncomfortable.
Do you have a go to Vlogger that you watch, anything from lifestyle to sex tips?
The only ones I watch are Jess's Bondage Gone Wilde
Is there a Blogger you can not stop reading, again anything from lifestyle to sex?
Girl on the Net and The Big Gay Review are the first two that spring to mind
Who is the most influential person to you in the Blogging/Vlogging world ?
Probably Dangerous Lilly because she's been doing it so long and really knows her stuff
I love blogging but I've been thinking about vlogging for a while. I don't know what I'd talk about if I were by myself but I'd like to do a discussion with friends at some point (they aren't keen though).
I like reading My Arched Eyebrow and Obesity Timebomb, and some friends' blogs. I often tumble into a world of educational blogs. The vloggers I most often watch are ASMR people. Though I do like watching A Broad in Japan and have been known to bingewatch Buzzfeed videos.
I tend to read blogs on issues that interest me; things I want to take time to process. Whereas vlogs are things I watch for entertainment.
