I always have issues 
My issues are a very integral part of who I am. But these issues are how I want to present myself.
I started this blog as a sex blog. Both because I was having awesome sex, and that this was previously my porn domain, and because I wanted to have an in with the NYC porn bloggers.
Now that I am in a relationship? I do not necessarily want to talk about the awesome sex that I am having. It would make an awesome porno, and very hot erotica. But, I do not write erotica very well.
I have stated many places that I am a statistics and research geek. I am also very passionate about many topics, including size and fat acceptance, general acceptance of all individuals and groups, and how sex positive thinking will change the world.
I also feel like a fraud when talking about these topics. I advocate not discriminating against those with STIs, which is contrary to every safer sex message out there. I advocate thinking in sociological and statistical terms, which is contrary to the individualistic nature that most Americans have. I argue for fat and size acceptance, which is the hardest one to get through to people.
Is blogging about this worth it? Will constantly fighting against current wisdom be a worthy struggle for me? Wouldnt my life just be happier if I accepted the status quo and stopped fighting?
I say no, as much pain and grief it would give me.

Eh, I accidentally left some quoted text on the bottom there. Oops.
I don’t see any reason you can’t broaden your topics. Write about sex/porn, STIs, discrimination, sociology, statistics, fat acceptance, and acceptance in general. Get it all in there. I don’t understand why you say you feel like a fraud for these topics – they may not be popular, but there’s nothing fraudulent about your opinions. Blogging, I think, must be worth it simply for the writing. If some level of positive feedback, notoriety, or monetary reward is the drive, most of us will end up unhappy with the whole thing. But, if it’s enough just to put your ideas out there, then blogging achieves that easily.
