Log into Tumblr and head to your dash. From the dash, click on the Account icon in the upper right corner of the page, and select Settings from the drop-down menu.
The Account icon looks like the silhouette of a person, and the Settings option should be labeled with a gear icon. Note that you do NOT need to follow these steps if you only wish to comment on someone else's Tumblr blog. Only follow these steps if you wish to allow others to leave comments on your blog. Select the blog. Click on the blog name to be redirected from the "Account Settings" page to the "Blog Settings" page. Allow replies. Check one or both tick boxes to enable comments on your blog posts.
There are two options, and you can either select one or both: "Allow replies from people you follow" will allow any user who follows you to leave a reply. Selecting both will only allow users to comment on your posts if they meet both conditions.

Only secondary blogs can be password-protected, so if you want hidden comments, add the Disqus comment feature to a secondary blog instead of your primary Tumblr. If you want an individual to not see replies you leave on a Tumblr account, block him. That won't prevent him from seeing comments, however, since commenting is managed by Disqus and not Tumblr.
To add the Disqus comment functionality to Tumblr, open your Tumblr dashboard and click the gear icon to access Settings. Click on the name of the blog that you want to enable comments on and then click "Customize. If you use a template that doesn't offer Disqus support, you can still install Disqus by adding some code to the HTML of your template.
Another way to solicit comments on Tumblr is with an ask post.
