Literotica is better than RL because...

[cliteatingman]

Just give a reason such as...

In RL a woman would hit you if the first words you ever said to her were "Nice tits!". On lit she says "Thank you"

She might also hit you if you spell you like quou.

On Lit, all but one of the ladies are wearing something sexy. Just ask them

 

[dirtwrench]

On Lit I can make any comment I want, and be almost universally ignored. In real life, it seems every word is scrutinized, debated, and held against me.


BTW- nice tits ladies

 

[KalIsBack]

Lit has an ignore function.

 

[tender_elf]

You can block the idiots here.

 

[Kat73]

Because you can talk dirty to anyone you meet and no one else cares!

 

[NeonSubtlety]

Someone is always awake.

 

[SimoneLisbon]

Because you can put people on your ignore list...

 

[EctoJohn]

I can talk to people here.

I don't have anything resembling a real life, and especially not a sexy one, so this works well for me.
I don't know how to operate the real world. >_>

 

[JennyNo1]

I can have meaningful conversations with people all over the world. OK, maybe not meaningful, just dirty.

 

[SweetSam42]

I'm sexier here, and that's fun.

 

[EquinesAndLace]

People here are generally very nice. It's like we're one big, kinky family! Haha

 

[greeneyedvirgin]

Literotica is better than real life because....you can be as dirty/naughty as you want with as many people as you want and still respect yourself in the morning.

None of us do John. Nobody does. We are all scared and alone and horny and desperate and hungry for something we don't know how to get and are too afraid to ask for. It's called being human.

True dat

Nah, that's quite it, because I can see a lot of humans out there, and they are all functional, at least on a higher level than I am.

For instance, let's say I pass someone on the sidewalk, and they casually give me a "hello". They've never met me, I've never met them. There's probably only a 50% chance I actually manage to say hello back, because by the time I think of reply, they're already a half a block past me. Who knows how many people have done that and probably thought, "Wow, how rude, didn't even say "hi" back." And it's not that I'm rude, it's just that I hadn't planned on interacting with someone, so I'm not ready to reply, and by the time I am ready, they're gone and it's pointless.

Who the hell even knows how people talk to people they just met in any given social situation. You exchange hellos and then one of you mentions something about the weather, and then the conversation is doomed. I don't know what to say to new people, but it's impossible to get to know them if you don't talk to them. I don't think I've ever been friendly with a person in my adult life that hadn't been introduced to me by a family member. Heck, I don't even know how to talk to some people who are married to family members. I don't think I've said 10 sentences to two of my cousin's husbands combined.

A lot of people say they have no life, but I have less of a life offline than those people.

Even the couple of times I've met people irl that I knew originally online, it's taken me at least an hour to become adjusted to talking to them as a human being.

Sometimes it's hard to even interject myself into a topic here, and I've been on Lit for years now.

But if this was a real world conversation, a circle of people standing around bullshitting, you know where I'd be?
Leaning against that wall about 3 feet away from the group, trying to listen but sipping a drink, and if you looked in from the outside, you couldn't tell if I was with this group or just sort of there.

I mean this is the tip of the iceberg, nevermind me actually doing other things in reality that are more complicated than having a conversation with adults.

Doesn't just happen to you. It's actually quite common. There's even a phrase for it. Know what it is? 'L'esprit d'escalier.'

You've basically summed up why I don't talk much in the real world. And on here, less than I used to.

You know where I'd be? Right next to you, striking up a conversation, because fuck groups. I'm an interpersonal person. I *very* much prefer to focus my attention onto one person (or max 2-3 people) than to be part of a group.

Nothing to be ashamed of, or regretful of. There are people that are meant to exist in groups. There are people that are meant to be the centre of attention. And then there are people that are meant to take their piece of the pie without any hullabaloo.

Back on topic... why Lit > IRL? Because there's always someone else out there that likes your kink. Right at your fingertips.

literotica is not better than real life

Sorry to piss on your parade but Literotica is not better than real life. anyone that thinks it is needs to turn off their device, put their shoes and coat and explore the real world properly.

And oranges aren't better than apples either.

Pros and cons. Everything has them. For example, your post has the cons of being pessimistic without reason, and entirely ill-spirited? Pros...? Well... I suppose you thought you were doing someone a favour.

Why Lit > IRL? I recapitulate: the ignore function.

No you wouldn't, you'd probably not see me.
If you did talk to me, it wouldn't be a conversation.
You might be talking and I'd be vague making "mmhmm" sounds to appear to be listening, but in all honesty (and not trying to be offensive, just the facts) not caring what you were saying while my eyes wander about the room looking at things that weren't your face.
Also, you're a guy, and I can't talk to guys as most male topics are boring as shit.
Then you'd mention weather or work, and that's the death of adult conversation as I don't care about either.
Maybe if it was a hurricane or some shit that might kill me, but as soon as you go, "It's been rainy and cloudy for three days now... blah blah blah" my mind is gone and I don't care anymore.

That's why Lit is better than real life.
There's actually topics here adults can talk about that aren't utterly BORING.
Real world adults talk about work, weather, being sick, bills, and tv that aren't cartoon shows (I much prefer cartoons).
Do people REALLY want to talk about this shit?
I don't care if your boss asked you to work on the weekend or if Sally told you she has a new boyfriend. I've never met these people, I don't know them, and I'll NEVER meet them. I don't care!
Meanwhile there's my niece and nephew or kids over there playing pretend and my brain is going, "Awww! He's got Legos! I wanna play monsters and laser fight too!"
Honestly, it's work and weather vs. toys and pretend, how am I supposed to enjoy talking to adults?
SHUT UP ABOUT IT BEING CLOUDY! OF COURSE IT'S COLD, IT'S DECEMBER!
*sigh*
At least here it's mostly sex and fantasies, that's interesting.

Don't tell me what I would and wouldn't say. For example, I purposely avoid the weather/work shit. Mostly because weather is boring as fuck, and I'm not working right now.

And conversations always swing back to sex in the end, don't they though? Or innuendos, at the very least.

The edge of the circle isn't crowded. There's a lot of room there. No one's invisible.

Lit > IRL because no one looks at you funny when you stress how much you just need a good fuck.

 

[SassySheDevil]

Lit is better then real life because here people tell me I'm beautiful, irl.. not so much.

Hehe... True... But there is often the temptation to tell the truth when you are wearing something particularly unsexy, especially if you've been asked in an unsolicited PM

There is nothing funnier than the response of a guy trying to come back from that
