How representative is the Lit population?

[Experimentalist]

Do you think the sexual appetite and interests, and the proportions of people that express these interests, are representative of the population at large? Or do you think there are some groups - sexuality, fetish - that are overrepresented here?

Does the anonymity let us be who we really are, or is there a natural self selection to this community that draws in certain sexual interests?

 

[leftwantingmore]

I think the latter is more probable.

You can be whoever you want on here.

I think men are far more interested in porn than women which accounts for the fact that there are very few women here. The type of man who is interested in porn is older than the rest of the population so again it is not representative. Of course there are some people who are here for other reasons but they are few in number.

No.. In fact, I don't think the views that are presented are even truly representative of the people who post here. What do I mean by this? Well, I think the VAST MAJORITY of the lit members who are registered as women are actually men. ..So when they respond to a thread like, "Women, do you prefer huge cocks?" or "Women, do you enjoy cum on your face?" ...you'll glean nothing relevant from the thread.

I think a lot of the people who are here are here because it's a relatively safe place to embrace our deepest desires.

Perhaps... but people should be honest about their gender when they register. There's no shame in being either gender, so why lie about it?

They lie for attention. It is sad.

And for what it's worth, here are the gender stats (I put trans people in their chosen sex).
M - 57
F - 26
Unknown - 10

You are absolutely right. The men masquerade as women for one reason: attention from other men who think they are women.

 

[BillyWalrus]

Is there anyone under 30 on Lit? The young people would rather be tortured than make an appearance here (which would be torture to them lol).

How representative is the Lit population?​

It is so difficult to determine an accurate answer. I have never knowingly had a gay or bi friend. All of my friends have been straight. I knew some lesbians at work, but they never took an interest in me. Similar to the women here on Lit

I have never personally encountered any kinks or fetishes. My entire sex life has been very vanilla, which may be why I am here, to get some variety and explore others' sexuality. Most of my wife's friends are post menopause and sexless (or nearly so).

I suspect, but have no evidence, that the active Lit population are 1% outliers from mainstream sexuality.

That's what I thought too, until I had a friend who was killed for being gay.

Yes and they persist in thinking that their kinks are shared by the population at large. Deluded fools.

Now that is the norm. Most of the people who post here would be killed if the community at large knew what they were doing.

Yes, but what % of the females are lying about their gender?
