When to take that chat to PM or Lit Chat

Just like @cheekygirl75 said, it depends.

It’s common here for men to complain that women don’t reply to their PMs, but women also complain about unsolicited (especially sexual) PMs.
I get that, I like to chat to get to know someone to make sure we have common interests non sexual and sexual.
 
What’s the actual success rate with PMs though? I can imagine a lot get ignored, but I guess it depends on whether you’ve built rapport in the larger threads and there’s something there … I’m certainly not averse to meeting someone I click with and taking our conversation one-to-one.

I would certainly hope that if people are talking to each other in a thread in a way that makes people want to say “Get a room,” that they would have a high success rate of getting a response from each other via PM. That’s what this thread is about, not general meeting people or introductions, not just playful banter, it’s about taking over threads with “get a room” type of back and forth posting.

Ah yes, if you strike out there then something’s very wrong - haha - or your partner just prefers to be watched. 👀

Thanks for clarifying for me. 🙏
 
@Samantha47 and @wo
Folks, we get it. “Lit’s a sex forum,” right? Well, yes, but it’s also a community with much more going on in the threads than cyber sex. There are lots of places to get your freak on here:

You could take it to PM.

You could take it to Lit Chat (there’s also a private room feature that is probably more satisfying for most for cyber play. Unlike PMs, the posts won’t stick around forever - which will be preferred by some and not by others).

You could take it to the Sexual Role Playing forum (which also has rules, expectations, and norms. Read the stickies).

Make your own thread and title it appropriately so people know what they are about to read. (And if people come in your thread and criticize or try to take over, report the posts).

What you shouldn’t do: take over threads with sexy times. People aren’t consenting to be part of it, even though this is a sex based site.

@Samantha47 and @Worzel550 Please read this and take note. Inboxes exist. Lit Chat exists. One of you, I’m nearly positive, is looking for marks, so public play is more likely to get that attention. But public play in a discussion forum is not welcome. Take it somewhere private or start a RP thread in the appropriate forum.
 
All PMs are private. Click on the envelope in the tool bar at the top or click on someone’s profile and, from there, click “start conversation.” As long as they have PMs enabled, you can send them a direct message this way.
NO PRIVATE EVERY ONE SEES MY RESPONSE WHEN THEY SEARCH FOR ME
 
What is etiquette for sending a random private message, I sent one today and didn’t get a response?
 
I agree, just making sure I didn’t make a faux pas. 😊
It really depends on the content of the message. Unsolicited sexual text messages are not well received by many women. A greeting, a message referencing something from one’s profile or a thread post, things like this are often well received. But, also be aware that a large percentage of people who participate here are not looking to meet people. Some assume that participating here is a clear indicator of being down for online sexcapades, but that’s not something that’s really safe to assume.
