Seven years

To the day seven years ago, on the 5th of December 2007, I published the very first post on this blog. The night before I had a wet dream about a hot guy auditioning for a ballbusting porn studio, believe it or not... Within the next couple of days, in a series of casting sessions, I introduced Danny, Leo, Simon, the twins and Simon. That was the beginning of the Ballbusting Boys.

I can’t believe it’s been seven years! On the one hand it feels like yesterday, on the other hand it feels like these guys have been with me forever…

Seven years of Ballbusting Boys – that’s

• almost 500 posts (in fact, this is #498)
• more than 400 stories
• almost 1.000.000 pageviews
• more than 1.500 comments (and I’m not counting my own replies…)
• more than 100 different characters (= more than 200 damaged testicles)
• a Top 3 rating in the “Erotic stories” category at Best Male Blogs (click here if you haven’t voted yet – it only takes a minute!)
• more than 100 followers on twitter and on tumblr
• 2 prolonged phases of hiatus (April 2009 to December 2011 and October 2013 to June 2014) followed by new phases of creativity
• countless inspiring, motivating, incredibly entertaining email conversations
• a couple of lasting friendships with fellow authors, with other artists and with readers

So we’re heading into the eighth year - and hopefully it won’t be the last. I have a lot of stories that are waiting to get posted, I am working on a couple of stories right now, and I have a lot of ideas that are waiting to get turned into stories. There’s some pretty exciting stuff waiting for you in the coming weeks and months… :-)

I’ve taken a look at the most popular stories. It’s a bit difficult to determine them because I usually don’t use the “read more” feature so you can just scroll down the pages and you don’t necessarily have to click on a story to read it. That said, these are the seven stories that have been clicked the most times:

1. Never bet your balls (2012)
2. Father and son (2012)
3. Train ‘im good, Coach! (2014)
4. The Ballbusting Olympics: Nutball (2008)
5. Ben’s wrestling match (2008)
6. Special Guest Star: Zac Efron (2008)
7. The Ball Busting Olympics: Ball Breaker (2008)

As always I’m interested in your opinion and your feedback: Tell me about your personal favorite story and why you like it. Tell me about your favorite character and why he’s special to you. Tell me what this blog means to you, how you discovered it, why you like it - or why you hate it but visit it anyway… Write me an email (alex@ballbustingboys.org) or leave a comment here on the blog. I’d love to hear from you!

Finally, let me thank you.

Now, how do I put this without sounding sentimental? Oh, what the hell, I’ll just say it: You are the wind beneath my wings!

Thank you very much for seven awesome years! Your feedback and your reactions mean a lot to me – without you I wouldn’t have lasted a month… Thank you very much!
