The Art of Getting Lit Laid

[Mo_Bandy]

Is it art or science?

Yes

This is an interesting question: Is “getting Lit laid” an art or a science? And maybe, truthfully, you can argue points for both. Science gives us patterns, formulas, even a kind of predictability. But in my humble opinion, it is an art.

Because connection isn’t born from equations - it’s painted with presence.
It’s not a checklist of inputs and outputs, but the brushstroke of timing, the color of words, the texture of attention.

Science can measure a spark, but only art can make it burn. Science can explain why chemistry works, but art makes it unforgettable. Science can build a bridge, but art makes someone want to cross it.

Here in Lit, we aren’t experiments under glass. We are storytellers. Lovers. Co-creators. What works in one moment may fall flat in another, because it isn’t about formulas - it’s about feel. About the rhythm of words, the silence between them, the way one phrase lands like a kiss instead of a statement.

That’s why I call it an art. And like all art, it is messy, beautiful, imperfect, and absolutely worth practicing.

I lean it is more art than science.

We can fill our brain with remembered formulas like math formulas and rules. Tried to find the Pi symbol lol
Pie r squared

But formulas don't have any emotions. They are shortcuts to the quickest answer with no thought required.

Plug the numbers into a formula and out pops an answer. There is only one correct solution.

But with art and emotions your mind becomes unshackled and able to realize there are many possible solutions.

Confession time…
When I first messaged @Hornymwtxn and brainstormed about this thread, my initial thought was to set up a full-blown matchmaking service here on Lit. Imagine that - me trying to play Cupid in the forums. Outrageous, right? My brain really does leap into the wild ideas first before landing on something sensible (okay fine - I stay wild, @Hornymwtxn is the sensible one).

So instead, we built this thread - where everyone can share, laugh, learn, and maybe even stumble into their own connections naturally.

…But who knows? Maybe matchmaking isn’t completely off the table yet.

Be careful, gentlemen and my sisters - the women of Lit. If I ever do dust off that matchmaking idea, no one’s safe. I’ll be nudging connections both ways - making sure my sisters find the ones strong enough to hold their fire, and the men who are brave enough to keep up.

The balance the two of you create between sense and wildness seems to be a perfect recipe for a delightful thread, at the very least. As for your matchmaking idea, safety is a relative term - I think we'd be reasonably secure in finding enjoyable connections with your encouragement, but there would be the danger of them proving a bit more engrossing than one might expect.

Should I bring out the sign-up sheet?

 

[IrreverendBoob]

Should I bring out the sign-up sheet?

When and if you are so inspired to do so; in the mean time, you offer so much good advice to help us help ourselves. If you should decide to do such a thing, I'm sure you'll have plenty of us to sort around and see how you think we mesh. I imagine it might prove to be more work than you expect. Haha

Yes, you are right. @Hornymwtxn will probably be furious waking up to see sign-forms and google sheets on possible matches lol

I'm sorry @Hornymwtxn I couldn't help it
I'm sorry, boss...I know you asked for that report, but this project is more urgent...

Hypothetical Matchmaking Service Checklist (for entertainment purposes only...obviously)

1. Set-up and Structure
- Create google sheet with tabs - applicants (basic info, preferences, dealbreakers), matches (suggested pairings), follow-up (status updates, feedback loop), admin notes (top-secret commentary)
- Set data validation - dropdowns for gender, interests, match status
-Add conditional formatting to highlight - green = high compatibility; yellow = possible but needs vibe check; red = No go

2. Intake questions (Google form)
- Username, Age range, Gender and who they are looking for, Interests (hobbies, kinks), Dealbreakers
- Communication style preference (playful, deep, slow-burn, spicy)
- Availability (timezone, when they are usually online)

3. Screening
- Check for basic compatibility
- Score matches (1-5 scale)
- X factor - gut feel or vibe notes

4. Matchmaking flow
- Identify 2-3 possible matches per applicant
- Track whether match accepted/rejected in Google sheet

5. The Meetup Phase
- Provide username to both applicants so they can start messaging each other

6. Feedback Loop
- Did sparks fly? Any red/green flags? - Did they decide to continue chatting?
- Update scores and notes in Follow-Up Tab

Possible service extensions:
Virtual Marriage Booth
Virtual Divorce Booth

Did I miss anything?

I think you've been quite thorough, and you've put a lot of work into this hypothetical.

The main issue with this is that what gets done unto me is unsolicited nudes and creepy copy/paste role play scenarios. Just because they want that in return, doesn't mean I'll be giving it to them straight out of the gate just because they sent it to me first.

THIS!

That and the first thing i ever see from them is a link to rape porn.

Stop and think! Unless the goal is to feel a sense of power by making women uncomfortable in which case… walk outside. Look up. You see that big bright yellow thing?

It’s the sun

Go fuck off into it.

 

[JennyCapricorn]

Exhibitionism is kinda fun isn't it?

I had no clue I would enjoy it till I tried it.

Same here.

What it seems to me is guys are visual beasts. We get turned on at the female form.

Whereas the gals need an emotional connection to whom the dick is attached to.

Let’s be clear: I get turned on by the male form. (And also the female form, but that’s another story.) But there is so much more to the male form than just your cock. The best, 100% best thread for me is the “show us JUST your chest” one, and the second is “show is your style” where it’s clothed figures. God those can get so hot.

Cocks are fun, but I’m gonna gasp at how you present your body and your clever turns of phrase much more than your erect member.

 

[JennyCapricorn]

I'm a giant nerd that loves heavy metal and Weird Al, video games, reading as many books as humanly possible, Hawaiian shirts because they are bright and cherry, and trying my hardest to make people laugh. Is that list of quirks going to drop all of the panties?

Yes.

@JennyCapricorn

Absolutely!!! What remains unseen is often the most seductive of all.

 

[Hornymwtxn]

Yes, you are right. @Hornymwtxn will probably be furious waking up to see sign-forms and google sheets on possible matches lol

Furious?

Not in the least bit!

I love your passion for achieving goals and helping others get more out of life.

Life can be so mundane at times and anything that adds a little spice and excitement is welcomed by most if not all.

So why not use tools that are available to us to increase these opportunities?

As it should be; to be clear, as a guy on here, I consider it rude to message any woman in general without at least an implied invitation, and the implication has to be pretty blunt, really. I don't want to cross lines even with just words. After that, it will be a lot of messages before I ever consider sending a picture, unless that is also invited. Courtesy is important, even among perverts and degenerates. lol

Yes this is where us guys really need to learn from the gals about how to be more subtle

 

[IrreverendBoob]

As has been better expressed than my simple words will do, there's a strength in subtlety and vulnerability, in patience and surrender, that doesn't come intuitively to most of us men. We're given social roles that emphasize aggression, assertiveness, and those do have their place, but they often fail in any sort of seduction. (Notably, seduction is an art with many levels, and we'd be fools to think it applies only to the most obviously physical sexuality.)

Oh no, you did not just approve this matchmaking idea!
Fortunately there are no clients lol

That's probably only a matter of time...

Okay, I would still want to see it eventually

 

[JennyCapricorn]

Okay, I would still want to see it eventually

Well, yes.

But mostly I would want to see it vanish into me

Adding: ok playing with my new toy with my hands until it breaks is also fun.

 

[Carmina24]

Well, yes.

But mostly I would want to see it vanish into me

Oh, most definitely!
We certainly wouldn't want it to be idle.

Shhh.... don't give them ideas....lol
