Keeping Up With ButchtasticKyle12
It’s safe to say I’ve learned a lot from Twitter. Enough, in fact, that I feel the people who have been responsible for how much I’ve learned on Twitter – namely, those I’m ‘following’ – deserve a special section on our blog that highlights a small piece of what it is they’re doing. I’m sure you’ll find them as interesting and inspiring as I do, and hope you’ll read their blogs and ‘follow’ them too. Trust me, it’s worth it 
Kyle
Have you been searching for a blog that combines the most extensive, interesting and knowledgable thing you’ve ever read about a strap-on harness, with the trials and tribulations of being a butch parent with a wife, first true-love girlfriend, blossoming new-love girlfriend, and sweet roll recipe? Normally, I would say, “Good luck on that one,” but I’ve found it! Or it found me. Either way, the blog is http://www.butchtastic.net/, and it’s ridiculously addictive.
The life behind this blog belongs to Kyle, an easy-going, if hard to categorize, person who graciously offers an uncensored (not like that, but like that too) peek into what seems to amount to a fairly normal non-traditional life. Yes, I know, none of that makes much sense, but I swear it does. Read it and you’ll understand.
I recently told Kyle that his life is like Big Love, but less Mormon, and there was amused agreement. I’m not trying to wrap him up neatly into something that can be typed out on a post-it, rather I’m enjoying that there is a touch of truth to the cliches about the humanity we all share. We aren’t all the same, not even close, but we operate on a few common necessities and passions that tie us together, bring us closer, and leave us constantly wanting to know more about each other.
Reading Kyle’s blog I find myself clicking my way toward ‘the bigger picture’ – like reading a magazine backwards (which I do). I meet the key players along the way, who I learn more about by reading their own blogs, or through comments on Kyle’s. It’s a bit like a video game, gathering all the pieces, but it’s much more fun and more important than anything fictional with an off button.
There’s lots of sex, lots of insight, lots of questions, lots of answers, and lots of love. The blog reads a bit like one of those movies where you don’t know how all the characters are connected to each other until it reveals itself at the end. You know, where the prolific garbage man ends up being the estranged son of the millionaire recluse who lives exclusively on fruit grown in the organic garden of the freelance photographer who secretly takes pictures of them all? Like that.
