Sex Blogger of the Month: Josh Robbins of I'm Still Josh

Josh: I like to break news about HIV. As a one-man show, I get off on being able to scoop the other, more respected HIV iconic publications. And my HIV video content beats their asses! Haha! They are more appreciated and admired, so it’s OK to go after the big dogs sometimes. I love them dearly, but I’m competitive as hell! Plus my site doesn’t monetize. So I can always just play that card if needed.

Kinkly: What was your most popular post ever? Why do you think it drew so many readers?

Josh: Well it’s all popular, but two articles stand out: Condoms aren’t approved by the FDA for anal sex and my exclusive video interview with Pharmabro Martin Shkreli. Both articles questioned what everyone thought was true, and provided evidence and perspective that I think struck people as unique. Some hated them, some loved them - but they all read and watched the content and shared it with all their friends. I ain’t mad about that!

Kinkly: What’s the best thing about writing a sex blog?

Josh: I love sex. You all love sex. And it is kinda erotic to be free to talk about it so openly. I find that people that let go of that internalized and community-driven fear of talking about fucking very freeing and overall pretty liberating. I’ve also had some fans of my content that come to Nashville and are like, “heyyyyy imstilljosh” and those nights always end up pretty exciting! The perks of being able to talk about sex are not always known to everyone. The benefits outweigh the tough part of maintaining a blog, though!

Kinkly: What’s the worst thing about it?

Josh: I’m not overly technical in terms of maintaining proper website shit ... like it’s never fast enough. Some mean folks sometimes add dumb code and break the site and the security plugins are expensive. It’s not cheap to run a publication. All my complaints revolve around the actual maintaining of the site. Oh, and misspellings. I am a terrible speller. It never fails that I think I just published a hell of an article and shared it all over social media and someone points out a spelling error and I’m like “efffff you” but they are right usually and then I have to swallow my pride and fix my mistake. I don’t proof read. Editors probably cringe at my articles. I just blame all that stuff on my HIV. Haha! Yes, I do use my HIV in circumstances when I need to blame something. If I really mess up, magically my HIV diagnosis instantly becomes described by me as AIDS - even though it isn’t true. I tell you, if you toss out the AIDS card every once in a while, people are shocked and I find that pretty funny. OK, I’m going to hell. But, come on! Humor has helped me cope thus far. The next time someone else uses that excuse, think of me.

Kinkly: OK, now for the good stuff: Give us your best tip for great sex.

Josh: Choose me! I know how to fuck! Seriously, though, I think when people relax during sex that it turns out so much better. I’ve made people orgasm for the first time ever by making them just let go of their perceived control of the position and to just relax their muscles and let me own it! Ha! Also, don’t be afraid to make the room a bit dim. It’s kinda hot to not see every face made during sex and accidentally elbow them or butt heads. That awkwardness sometimes makes you all laugh and keeps the sex pretty fun and more realistic that those highly produced porns. If I don’t laugh at least twice during sex with someone, it will ALWAYS be a one night stand. I’m fun. I want sex to be fun. It’s hotter that way to me. (Oh, and cut the porn moaning out, people. All that yelping is so damn annoying. Next time someone is making porn-inspired fake moans, do what I do: start making an animal noise like barking or horse naying. That’ll shut them up and bring them back to just relaxing. Or at least make you laugh that you just barked at a trick! Either way it’ll make your day!)
