Cock Talk

[Lord Pmann]

I went and looked last night. The cited reason is because people use lit on their phones and having pics in the threads is embarrassing when people looking over your shoulder notice.

Do you know how many times I'm looking at embarrassing shit on my phone? It's primarily what I do on my phone.

If you don't want to have people see shady stuff on your phone, don't look at a porn forum.

 

[Lord Pmann]

I assumed that when parents have that thought, they think more about a distraction like the smartphone, or talking to passengers, or paying more attention to the radio (or well, the Spotify ). No one would imagine that the distraction is playing with the car's second gear shift .

God. If I had a mobile with internet we could’ve added watching porn to the distraction.

Okay, I’m going to try to be positive—this isn’t going to be easy.

(Pretend there is a pic of a pulsing cock and balls spewing cum all over the lens because I can’t post that)

How does this new pic policy affect your interest in being on Lit?
What solutions do you have that could find a middle ground to make this work?
Do you have a Doomsday plan for when Lit collapses and all your favorite people disperse?
How do you share erotic imagery with your “friends” , if it’s Lit, what’s your new plan?
What pic thread will you mourn more than any other?
Are you flexible enough to go through the exhausting and cum(get it?)bersome process of clicking links?
Are you prepared to bombard the Lit God’s with complaints to reinstate the normal pic policy?

It all comes down to one issue for me.

The reason given for these changes was clearly a load of nonsense. We know it's simply not true.

Does that matter? To me, yes. Lit is a place where we share some of the most personal parts of ourselves (interpret 'part' as you wish). Very simply, I have now have less confidence in Lit.

Lit is an excellent example of the social media principle that if you aren't paying for it, you're the content. We don't pay Lit anything, but we create its content. I took down what I'd published here years ago, so what I think about this doesn't matter. But if authors start getting concerned about unpopular changes being made to the site for opaque reasons, and they decide to find other alternatives, that could be a far bigger problem.

It doesn’t change my interest. I don’t post a lot of pictures and I don’t seek them out.

What solutions do you have that could find a middle ground to make this work?

I think the middle ground has been found with the links. People can still post pics but they aren’t popping up all over the place.

Do you have a Doomsday plan for when Lit collapses and all your favorite people disperse?

People have favourite people? I guess they will just have to manage without me in their life

I don’t really have a lot of people that I am close to. The ones that matter to me I already talk to outside of Lit.

How do you share erotic imagery with your “friends” , if it’s Lit, what’s your new plan?

I have only ever really shared that type of imagery outside of Lit

What pic thread will you mourn more than any other?

@Saltfountain ’s variations thread. A variety of topics and some very talented photographers.

I don’t venture out of The Playground so have never really got into the AMpics side of Lit.

Are you flexible enough to go through the exhausting and cum(get it?)bersome process of clicking links?

If people want to see things, then they will click links.

Are you prepared to bombard the Lit God’s with complaints to reinstate the normal pic policy?

No. Lit isn’t about pictures so it won’t make any difference to them.

 

[hotwords229_A]

Its unfortunate the site owners think so little of us here because I think the world of Lit. I don't know if there's anywhere else like it.

This is the whole thing right here.

 

[UnquietDreams]

Testicles hang ‘offset’ to reduce them banging into each other.

I for one appreciate my testicles not banging into each other.

Pics ain’t my thing. It only impacts me in that I have friends who care more than I do.

Do you have a Doomsday plan for when Lit collapses and all your favorite people disperse?

I’ve been down this road before. Some people will leave others will show up. Or not. I won’t be going anywhere else for communal purposes. Most of the people I care about most are staying here.

How do you share erotic imagery with your “friends” , if it’s Lit, what’s your new plan?

It’s very limited audience and not here

What pic thread will you mourn more than any other?

None tbh.

Are you flexible enough to go through the exhausting and cum(get it?)bersome process of clicking links?

For the people whose pics I already engaged with? Yes. It’s not that burdensome for me. But I think some of them at least won’t be taking that route and will just drop the pics.

Are you prepared to bombard the Lit God’s with complaints to reinstate the normal pic policy?

Nah. This ain’t the revolution I need to spend energy on.

For the most part, I'd answer same as the monkey.

This posts offends me. What if someone with hawk-like eyesight is looking over my shoulder while I’m sitting in the line at the school and sees me reading this. I’ll be so embarrassed. Even more embarrassed than if people found out I don’t have any kids to pick up. So I’d really like any talk of sexual acts to be screenshotted and uploaded to a third party image hosting site. Because even though this site is all about how we like to CENSORED, I think it’s important we cater to those of us looking at a porn site in public places.

I am perfectly okay with the images of the naked cam girls at the login page. That’s revenue generating and therefore exempt from any free speech squashing.

This.

The pictures aren't a crisis for me. There are a couple of threads I check in on, but I'm not that visual.

- and the unfortunate knowledge that people can and do save our pics without permission. That's a huge issue here no matter what the rules are.

This is so creepy. I posted a picture once (no face and not particularly exposing). A person I knew but was not involved with in any sexual way immediately PMed me and told me they had saved it.

Completely cured my already tentative little self of picture sharing.

I don't know if there's anywhere else like it.

Yes.

Imagine what happens when they realize there is a big cock in your av!

Is that what it is? I thought it was some sort of foxtail butt plug

 

[hotwords229_A]

I didn’t share a lot of graphic stuff on my thread. It was mostly suggestive. Coming up with what to say for the link text and then creating the link and all that jazz… it’s not that hard but it’s just hard enough to discourage me doing it.

Exactly. I am super visual and I enjoyed finding just the right pic for this thread and it’s topics. But now that’s over. Just one more kick in the dick from the internet.

Opening new windows and having to then close those windows… again, it’s really not that much “work” in the grand scheme of things but it’s just enough to make me not wanna do it.

This is exactly how I feel too. Is it the worst thing ever? No. But also yes.

Is that what it is? I thought it was some sort of foxtail butt plug

So, to you, he has his back to us and he’s turning to look at us like a Covergirl?
Hmmm, I never saw it like that, but now that you mention it…

I think I see it more with a swishing tail action and that is it swished to one side. I can imagine him being all coy with an over shoulder look though. If only he had given himself feet, we would know how he was standing

Can I take a moment to be a bad, bad girl and mix media together, please?

How does this new pic policy affect your interest in being on Lit?

It increases it. I love a challenge, I love a workaround. and anyone with half a brain knew the real stuff was never on the public threads anyway.

But damn, it makes it more enticing, doesn’t it?

What solutions do you have that could find a middle ground to make this work?

There’s a side of me that understands that my photos were never the most explicit, but some of us create with intention. This whole thing is a blow to the community that was built on creativity.

They took away whatever middle ground those creatives could have found. So there’s another side of me…

And that side of me says; fuck it.

Do you have a Doomsday plan for when Lit collapses and all your favorite people disperse?

If Lit goes down, I’ll do my best to bottle it all up until I combust.

My plan is to go down with the ship.

How do you share erotic imagery with your “friends” , if it’s Lit, what’s your new plan?

That’s something only a friend would know

What pic thread will you mourn more than any other?

I’ve never been the most visual…

But, still…

Are you flexible enough to go through the exhausting and cum(get it?)bersome process of clicking links?

I’ll take the risk.

Will you?

Are you prepared to bombard the Lit God’s with complaints to reinstate the normal pic policy?

No, I’d rather thank them for giving me something to chase again.

And still beg, gently, that they restore the stage for their most gifted creators. After all… we’re just living in the world they made.

and Lit made me who I am.

 

[EvaLane]

Who’s lost their attachment ability and who hasn’t? @hotwords229_A are you saying you can’t anymore?

I wish we knew what the parameters were :/

Edit - I have mine for now

 

[redsnowbunny]

Let’s see

I just want to make sure that all of us are on the same page when we talk about losing the ability to "attach" images. My understanding of this is that you no longer have the “Attach files” button as an option at the bottom left of your reply window. Using the “Insert image” button at the top of the window "inserts/embeds" the photo from your link into the post itself. It appears that all of us are losing the ability to insert/embed images. I believe that any link from tumblr or giphy is automatically being displayed as a link only. I’m sure it’s happening with images from other sites as well. I tried to use the “Insert image” button to insert a non-nude image from imgbb and got an error message that “Image cannot be loaded from the passed link”. So it won’t even convert it to posting just the link. I have to paste the link in the body of the post itself.

I still have my "Attach files" button and I don't think any of my attached pics have disappeared. I've been trying to go back through threads and remove any attachments that show uncovered ass and/or nipples.

I really don't know what the heck is going on with this. The site owners stated that they were changing their policy to no longer allow nudity. In my "Show Us Just Your Chest" thread, an attached pic where a woman was wearing a blouse and showing just a peek of cleavage was removed from a post. As was an attached pic in another post that just showed a man's chest. I fear that they want a site where there are absolutely no pics, nude or otherwise, where everything has to be linked. If it has to do with the added cost of server space for images, then I would appreciate it if they would just say that and not keep trying to hide behind the excuse of "people reading an erotica site in public don't want anyone to look over their shoulder and see nude images". So far, I have seen no rhyme or reason in which attached images are being removed. And it appears that no images may be inserted or embedded in posts from links. All you can do is post the link itself.

I do want to answer the latest batch of questions when I can get a chance.

 

[redsnowbunny]

link to image
[image cannot be loaded]

 

[redsnowbunny]

Image inside link

 

[EvaLane]

I can attach a file and it looks like this for me still.

This doesn’t work at all for me anymore

But this does, with some approved sites it seems.

Yet another test.

And that worked(ish) and looks like this in the text post before “posting”

The Media button sometimes works for me with giphy, but more often doesn't these days.
