The Art of Getting Lit Laid

@Hornymwtxn @Carmina24 I love the idea and purpose of this thread and have enjoyed reading all the posts.

I came to Lit to read smut and then began writing it. I wasn't looking for a connection and didn't join the forums for a number of years and even then it was more for a laugh and a way to waste a bit of time than anything else.

Also I was very skeptical of online relationships and couldn't imagine how people could get so involved.

But I was wrong and have been very fortunate to meet someone very special.

My advice and insight, should anyone want them, would be to be honest and open, (even more important online as we're missing many of the other cues that guide us in real life interactions)

Make the effort to chat and write more than just one sentence, even if you think you've nothing to say-just ramble, it's what we do with people and how we get to know each other and how we become friends and hopefully more 🤞
Thank you @Biggalute wonderful sharing of your lit experiences.

We are blown away by how well our idea has been recieved and getting such great comments from everyone!

Thank you for sharing your story with all of us!
 
Carmina,

You speak words of wisdom for all to see, and I shall do my best to follow them in my connection. It is so true, and surprisingly simple, yet so difficult at the same time.

Speaking as a male representative, he has to understand the give and take -- just how a simple word at the right time makes all the difference. Don't push too hard -- that can be the difficult part. But...ladies, believe in him; he is trying to take his time. He has to understand that there are other things in her life that fills her day -- but it is reassuring to know that she welcomes his affection, even in the smallest ways, as we build toward a deeper and more intimate relationship.

@The_Quiet_Man

I love this - especially the part about a simple word at the right time. It’s often not the big, dramatic moves that draw us in, but those little, deliberate touches that thread two people closer together.

And yes… patience can be maddening. But when both trust the pace, the build is delicious - each glance, each word, each pause charged with more than the last.

Because when that spark finally turns into fire… oh, it will be the sweetest burn.
 
I have a love of music and just sharing links to my favorite songs with others has had great success for me.

Since you have asked me to share my point of view here and you and I are buddies, mates based on our shared political values, union membership, love for poetry and music I'd say you have made everything right. My perspective would be more about deep meaningful friendships, which developed online first and not about getting "lit laid".

My perspective would start not here on lit but in finding true friends online and holding a connection over years. For me that's normal, I grew up with the internet and never really clicked with the conservative country folk that was available offline to me as a teen but was open for friends everywhere around the world.

I was open to hang out online with you, because you approached very respectfully and never tried to hit on me which makes me feel very secure with you and happy to share my day, pictures and lots of European poetry with you, I also enjoy reading your poetry, like I've told you, you have talent. I found it sweet that you are always very polite and understanding with my time.

Over the years I have made friends online who became great friends, back in the day as a lonely teenager on the countryside with access to the world wide web I even met my first boyfriend online in a group online, and have stayed in touch over all the years with many of them, we visited each other mutually.

Sometimes it could turn into very physical solid friendships. Once upon a time, in another European country I spent the nicest week on a sofa, sandwiched in between two lovely guys, friends who lived together, that I had met in a debate forum and with whom I had written nearly daily for 2 years.

We cuddled, watched a fantastic series, did some mind enhancing stuff, danced excessive and heavy to wild Jazz, giggled like kids and I got the best massages ever. It was super natural from the moment they picked me up at the airport as if we have had always been friends offline, they took my luggage and we hugged and spent the first night just cuddling and talking without even going to bed.
Whenever one or both are in my country, they make sure to visit me and vice versa.

In this case it started with a shared interest in politics and certain authors and became a deep and meaningful connection which included lots of intimacy and cuddling. Mutual trust, confiding, supporting each other.
It started as a daily checking in, helping each other, beta-reading texts, asking for opinions, advice, sharing troubles and joys. Comforting when the other was sad.

Before I had ever met them, we also talked lots and lots about sex, kink, love, it was just a natural part of conversation and not enforced, it just came up at some point.

They often told me that they not only liked my personality and writing style but my looks, so I made sure to gift them pictures that I'd thought they'd love, nothing particularly saucy but just specially for them because I knew what they liked.

So, in a way, I think at least for me, lit is just like any other forum where you can make honest and deep connec. Find shared interests like music, literature, food or movies, genuine interest in the other as a person, not just some object to mirror yourself in.

Do stuff together like reading the same book together, talking about it, sending each other quotes, articles or watching the same movie together. I've met a lovely person here on lit, a new friendship I am developing and we watched a movie together at the same time, commented it and shared our thoughts about it. Laughing together, spending time on the phone, having a scheduled call where you can talk about your life and family and just laughing a lot together also helps. A sacred space of mutual trust without judgement would be my ideal. Seeing the beauty and individuality in people and life.

For me attachment forms with words as was stated by Carmina so beautiful or long audios that I can listen to or phone talks about life in general or small acts of genuine interest and kindness like photographing something about a strike for me because they know I will love that and that it's important to me, this genuinely touches me. Or getting send a movie recommendation because they think that I will love it.
Developing your own language and inside jokes, banter that is so funny and meaningful at the same time because it requires more knowledge about the other to work. Being honored with trust and something like a picture of them as a child or their family.

The people that I've met on here that I want to talk to regularly and am always happy to hear from are all people with whom I can hold an interesting conversation about a topic easily for hours. They are all especially kind, tolerant and wise, respectful.

Lit can be as good a place to meet people as everywhere else I guess, I got more inappropriate messages back in the day on facebook.
Already I have met a new friend on here that I already plan to visit in the next 2 years when I can allign it with work travel and would also welcome them in my city easily.

I hope this was helpful, it is not exactly what you asked but my input nonetheless as asked. :)

@Biggalute

This is wonderful - especially because it’s coming from someone who didn’t expect to find anything here beyond a good read and a laugh.

It’s such a good reminder that sometimes the most meaningful connections happen when we aren’t looking for them. And yes - honesty and effort matter so much more online, where we can’t rely on a glance or a touch to speak for us.

The rambling part? Absolutely. That’s where the gold is - in the tangents, the silly asides, the unexpected turns that slowly turn strangers into friends… and maybe more.

Because sometimes the best stories in Lit are the ones we accidentally start writing together.

I came here, wanted to ask for advice and planned on deleting the account afterwards.

Now I love it here! So many interesting, amazing, beautiful people.

@Liberia

Beautiful!!! And such a powerful reminder that connection here, just like anywhere else, is built in the little things.
Shared books, movies, laughter, inside jokes… those are the threads that make something last.

I especially love what you said about creating a sacred space of mutual trust. That’s the heart of it, isn’t it? When we feel safe enough to be ourselves - to share pieces of our lives, our humor, even our childhood - that’s when we stop being just usernames on a screen.

Your story proves what I’ve always believed: Lit is much more about the people as it is about the words. And when the right two people find each other here, the distance between them gets a little smaller every day.
 
Him

I know the way he looks at me - like a wolf measuring distance to prey.
Eyes sharp, steady, holding me still while he decides how best to take me apart.

His voice is no safer.
Low. Controlled. Each word deliberate,
as if he’s tasting me in syllables before he ever tastes me in truth.
It can make me laugh - bright, reckless - and just as quickly drag me into silence where I can feel the heat coil low in my belly.

We already have our private language.
Inside jokes like tripwires, phrases that sound harmless to anyone else, but make me think of teeth on skin, fingers curled in hair, the sound of my own breath breaking.

And the danger - it’s always there, in the space between us.
A tension wound so tight that I know when we finally move,
it will be violent in its beauty.
No polite surrender.
Only the kind of ruin you don’t survive unchanged.

I know his eyes.
His voice.
The way his presence feels like a hand at the back of my neck.

I just don’t know his name yet.
He’ll tell me -
once we meet here in Lit.
 
Interesting idea I think

How bout we hear from the guys about a pick up line they used that they thought would be no way in hell that it would work but it did.

Then we could have the gals grade it.
Say on this scale

Dry as a desert
Misty
Dewy
Dripping
Wet as can be

Sound fun anyone?

I wasn’t looking for trouble… but then I read your words, and now I want to start a fire with you.
 
Thank you for the invite @Carmina24

I've had time to really think about the meaning and purpose of this particular thread. You've expertly and wonderfully shared much of what I had in mind to post but I realized that shared perspectives can be greatly emphasized when more than one person vocalizes them.

The only limitation I seen on Lit is the lack of visual cues when compared to meeting someone in person. What we have here are words and for a few, pictures. I'm going to gloss over voice for now.

Having said that, this place offers a truly unique opportunity to use our words in a way that captures our essence. We have the beautiful opportunity to "show" who we are in as little as a handful of words or, paint a detailed picture when we share longer responses.

Meeting people I wouldn't otherwise meet is truly exciting. Even more so, is the unique chance to meet a man that knows just how to draw and tug at my strings in such a way that music begins to play.

There is no magic approach. There is no special trick. The beauty is in the words, how they're delivered, and when they're delivered. Lit is a lounge - a virtual lounge.

Get to know me for who I am, open yourself to be explored, and, in my case, we could see the start of something truly exciting.

@LatinaCarmen1980

I couldn’t agree more.
Here, our words are our fingertips - they touch, they explore, they linger.
They’re the spark in the eyes you can’t see, the smile you can only imagine, the invitation hidden between the lines.

There’s no cheat code, no magic spell.
Just the thrill of letting someone see you - truly see you - and the delicious wait while you discover them in return.

If Lit is a lounge, then I say we stay a while. Sip slowly. Trade secrets.
Let the conversation wind its way into something we both don’t want to leave…
because sometimes the slowest dance is the one worth losing yourself in.
 
Every stroke of a key is an invitation. Every press of a key is a button being undone.

Every moment that's shared is an invitation and every invitation is a possibility for something truly exciting.

It's the way your heart begins to race when you see their PM. It's the way your lips curl into a smile when you see them post. It's the way your fingers tremble when you send them a message.

Experiences makenus who we are. Why not stay a while and create new ones?
 
Subscribed and now I'm going to read through each post ... When I joined Lit, it was purely for the stories but then I found the forums and I've had an enjoyable time here so far. I didn't necessarily join to find someone but I'm open to that happening, and if it does, then fine; if not, I haven't lost anything and I've had a good time mixing with some wonderful people.

I'm sure some of the undoubtedly wise words others have contributed on this thread will help me find the right way to express myself if I have the chance to develop a friendship - I'll admit to being impetuous, maybe unfeeling and even rude, so I need to learn rules and etiquette as I start to explore possibilities.

So "Thank you" to @Carmina24 and @Hornymwtxn for starting this thread - I hope it becomes a valuable source of reference and guidance for those of us who need it! :nana:

@KeenVoyeur

I’m glad you wandered in - Lit has a way of surprising us with more than we came for.

Openness without pressure is rare here, and honestly, it’s one of the best ways to let the right connections find you. As for “rules,” they’re worth knowing… but breaking them with style can be even more fun! *Winks*

So jump in. Mix your impetuous with curiosity. I have a feeling your voice is going to make this thread even more interesting!

The lounge metaphor is one I have never thought about but makes perfect sense!

The possibilites and excitement of meeting new interesting people can be intoxicating as they drink each other in.

Thank you for the shout out Keen! Love that username btw

I love it when people discover something about themselves by interacting with others. Happens to me ALL the time here on lit.
 
Pick-up Lines

Oddly enough, the best pick-up line I ever received wasn’t flashy, clever, or dripping with poetic charm.

It was the simplest hello.

What made it the best was what came after - a friendship that grew naturally. He was always respectful, always funny, and a delight to talk to. Even when our conversations turned a little steamy, he never pushed. The connection deepened at its own pace… and that simple hello became the first step into something unexpectedly magical.

So to our gentlemen friends - you don’t need fancy words to win someone over. You don’t need to stage a grand performance. All you need is to show up as yourself, with genuine intent. Authenticity will do the rest.

I would add the following -

ENJOY the process.

Again, only speaking for myself here - enjoy the moments you share with someone new. Enjoy the bumps and swerves that serve as the road of each encounter. And remember, no one owes you anything. We might reach #3 and realize the chemistry, while fun, just isn't going to lead to anything further.

Personally, I would rather find out I don't share that chemistry but build a new friendship, than just ending all contact. Still, I know not everyone here is looking for the same thing. Again, that's why I emphasize ENJOYING the process.

I have focused on the destination way way too much.

But with help and wise comments by many on this thread I am now going to try to enjoy the ride, put my blinders on so to speak and enjoy the scenes, the twists, the thrills
 
I like photography a lot, when a particularly good wallpaper on Bing shows up it gives an opening to talk about it.

Today's Bing wallpaper is of a couple stingrays in clear water, but not regular ole stingrays but spotted ones. I never even knew those existed.

Filmed in the Galapagos. Amazing photo imo take a look and see if you agree.
 
If there is one thing I have learned, it's that listening is absolutely key. Learn about the person. Get to know the way they they think. Be empathetic to them. Make a deeper connection. The attraction will come if you give valid attention.
