It originally started on Tumblr, which still exists in a mostly-abandoned form that I may revive at some point (possibly merge with this). Though it mainly focused on pictures, which is what Tumblr seems to do best. Plus, it was easier to follow other Tumblr blogs with an account. Having updates appear on your dashboard is more convenient than having to check each blog separately.
The second was that while looking at different blogs, I found the ones I liked the best were the ones that had a bit more than just pictures. Like personal stories from the blogger. As nice as pictures are, I guess there's just something about hearing other people's personal stories that makes it more interesting. So I wanted to do that with my own blog by adding captions to relevant pictures. This blog, however, will probably be light on pictures. They were never pictures I had taken myself anyway, so I thought I might as well focus on what was original and unique to me.
Third was talking about my own sex life. There's not many people (especially when I started the original blog) who I felt I could talk to about it, and I had kept these kind of thoughts bottled up for a long time before then. Even the people who I do talk to about it, I hide certain elements. So in lieu of people I knew well, throwing it out there to complete strangers was a start. Writing it down and putting it out there, even if no one did read it (and I don't expect to have thousands of followers or anything), was one way of doing something about it. Being anonymous helps speak more freely than when the words are attached to the identity you have to live with.
The fourth, and one of the reasons for this reboot, was rather than just recounting my sex life, to try and sort out my thoughts about sex topics I've been thinking about. I'm still finding my way through life, so there's a lot of things I haven't figured out yet. I find writing about my feelings/questions/worries about a topic I'm trying to figure out helps to get my thoughts in order a bit. (Though maybe not a lot of order.) In a better world, some comments offering the reader's views, experiences, or insights into the topic would be nice. But in this world, maybe just writing them down will help in some way.
I don't think I will update an awful lot, but hopefully at least once a week. At least not at the moment, since circumstances in my life are cutting into the time and chances I have for having sex to write about. It's not been that wild a sex life, anyway. Honestly, most of it would be either past stories (possibly with some question or opinion formed from the experience) or my thoughts and ramblings on sex related subjects. If you're hoping for a lot of nice and erotic stories, you'll probably have better luck elsewhere. Some posts might contain no sex at all, though probably will relate to it in some way.
As for the blog title: 'Ameinias' is the name of a man given in some accounts of the Greek myth of Narcissus, who appears as one of Narcissus' jilted lovers who then kills himself in front of Narcissus' home. I like mythology and am gay, that's all there is to that. But the story does fit in with the next part. 'Melancholia' has a bit of a personal meaning for me in the past, a worldview I'm trying to move beyond into something more positive and productive. And a lesser, superficial one at the moment I'm writing this. Melancholy might be a good way to describe some of the things I've written for this so far. I never have been that good at coming up with titles, though. Could have done with something simplier, looking at it now, but I'm not going through all that work to make another blog now.
