Welcome to Literotica’s General Board – the place where the sexy, open-minded, witty and charming people gather. Well, some people here like to think of themselves that way. However, the majority just want to have fun, get to know people and talk about things that you can’t really discuss on the daily commuter grind.
Here are the basic rules of the forum as stipulated by the cyber gods Laurel and Manu. Forum Rules & Free Speech
Survival Tips.
Here is my evolving take on lit culture. Metrodance Guidelines for New & Established Posters
Some Basics.
You get an avatar after 100 posts. Some choose to wear one, others do not. Choose it wisely as it represents you to everyone else. Here’s a thread by an accomplished poster who sums up the avatar choices succinctly. The rest of the thread has it’s moments and introduces some of the personalities. Choosing an Avatar
Having difficulty putting up an av? Check the FAQ on your user panel. Here’s a thread with some details on it and worth reading because Weird Harold made an gruff appearance. Avatar Help
A hundred posts may seem daunting but it’s not really. Join in on one of the game threads. This is where the really cool people hang out and have fun while becoming comfortable with posting. Don’t listen to the nerdy group who claim the games are stupid, they are just deficient in the vocabulary and movie fact department and are constantly bowed down by peer pressure! They’re also jealous because nobody goes to their chess club at recess.
Try these games but read the rules first. Drop a Letter & Movies
Starting your own thread can be daunting and my advice is to avoid the Hi I’m new and fuck like an (insert animal/object here) thread. Believe me, it’s been done.
It’s not easy to begin threads that stimulate, enhance the reputation of the poster and, above all, entertain as well as retaining a sparseness of language with an ironic and pithy style.
However, there are a few posters who manage to do exactly that on a regular basis. Here are a few threads by two posters that will, perhaps, provide some constructive hints as well as entertaining you.
Examples: 1. 2. 3. 4.
There is so much more to the GB and so little time but the best way to learn is to begin posting and treat people as you would in real life.
One final tip, there are board relationships that have moved into real life so don’t pretend to be something or someone you’re not. You may just find someone here you might want to spend the rest of your life with and it would be nice if they wanted to do the same with you and not your fake board persona!
Welcome and have fun.

Survival Tips.
1. Don’t trust anyone.
2. Don’t take any thing on face value.
3. Under no circumstances give anyone any personal details. Trust has been betrayed before with major consequences to the individual concerned.
4. Choose your friends a wisely.
5. Don’t try to read all the posts – it’s impossible and the content of the posts would drive you insane.
6. Don’t get stuck following a specific poster. Shop around. There are a lot of great threads and posts by unknowns who really add something to the board but haven’t penetrated the mass market yet.
7. Don’t over react to comments aimed at you or around you. When you take a step back, you’ll see the insults are kind of funny in a pathetic way.(Examples of such lame comments are bound to follow in this thread.)
8. Don't post from your employment. It's an easy way to get fired!
9. Finally, post succinctly and with tongue firmly in cheek.
