Overrepresentation of populations on Literotica

[lil_jenni]

It has been suggested to me many times over the years, and again recently, that "sexually aggressive" women (a gender normative and gender reductive concept) are overrepresented on Lit, to the degree that most of us that fit that description "must" be men posing as women because sexually aggressive women are a common trope in male stroke pornography and we (the supposed men posing as sexually aggressive women) are perpetuating that trope for... reasons.

While I agree that so-called sexually aggressive women are likely overrepresented on Lit when compared to the general population, I do not believe that it is as much an overrepresentation as gender normative thinking about female sexuality may suggest. Yet, being a sexually aggressive female on here seems a sure fire way to be either dismissed as an attention seeker, berated for perpetuating male fantasies, accused of being a man, etc.

On the flip side, I think sexually frustrated males are also overrepresented on Lit (and online in general) when compared to the general population, leading to an atmosphere of suspicion toward women who are sex-positive in a way that does not fit the expectation of female sexual passivity/resistance.

So, any thoughts?

I think most of the women here now are looking to make a buck. "Hey...check out my onlyfans site" etc.

I'm just here to save souls.

I have to agree with Sister Ann. It seems like OF is the only place you can talk to a majority of the women out here now. Such a shame.

Wow. These posts are depressing. Not criticizing, just saying.

I kinda assumed that women here were more "sexually aggressive" because of anonymity. In public, women can't act certain ways because a) we'll be shamed and b) we litetally put ourselves in physical danger from predatory males.

I feel like I can be wild and free and fun here. It's a safe place for that. When I see other women behaving the same way, I don't automatically assume they're men, or women trying to monetize themselves somehow.

Am I just naive?

nah not naive, just horny... we kinda dig that around here tho

So. I'm not popular amongst some of the threads because of how I come across.

IRL if I see a girl I like I make a move for her. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, probably because I talk to the straight girls in gay pubs/bars.

Amongst my friends, they know me, I'm usually she and quiet, but I try to compensate for that by talking and using the first thing that comes to mind. People in the real world, if they don't know me, they don't like me thinking in obnoxious and rude. But, as they get to know me they know I'm not.

My friends are all straight, the gay people I know are through my partner. I can't talk to my friends IRL like I can here. They don't want to know what I get up to, and to be frank apart from my best friend, I'm embarrassed if they did know.

I do the same here. I talk, I can't see the people on the otherside. I don't know how they feel about me until it's too late. I get accused of being a victim. But I'm just being me.

So, I think in the threads now I am being more mindful and toning it down. With the people who are friends in PMs, I can be me.

I agree with you completely, especially at this point in my life when I have to think about work and family and be "proper" in real life more than I when I was younger. Here is where I feel most like who I was when I was younger and didn't worry about being labeled a slut.

And no, I don't think you are naive. It's just easy to feel you are when many here are so cynical.

I've had men say to me that I'm a man, due to the stories I have written! Oh well most enjoy them so I don't take
I've had men say to me that I'm a man, due to the stories I have written! Oh well most enjoy them so I don't take much notice of them, and I do know who I am. It's awful that so many men feel that they have to pretend to be women just to get attention. Of course, that's probably due to the fact that there are many more men on here than there are women.

As for being aggressive, well I'm always accused of that, but I really cannot see how I am. I agree I'm not a brat, or a daddy's girl, I think I'm a woman who has come to realise that I was okay when I was younger, I wasn't a slut, or a whore, I was just a woman who enjoys sex. Maybe that's a crime for some, but it isn't for me, and believe me I spent years being 'good'. It was only recently in later life that I began to realise that I'm right and they are wrong!! Urgh what a waste! Sex is great, and we should be able to enjoy it equally, without any stupid labels!

Great post by the way.

You're here about 4 years too late. Used to be a lot of interesting, intelligent posters that could combine sex and conversation, with back drama and fights and cheating. Now it's mostly mouth breathers looking for a wank partner.

I wouldn’t describe myself as a “sexually aggressive” woman. More like a grown-up girl dork who’s always has a hard time performing femininity. I wanted to be a slut when I was younger but was too shy and self-conscious to act on my horny impulses.

I love a strong sexually forward woman. Personally dancing around kinks and other taboos is to much game play for me. I love it when a woman knows what she wants and is vocal about it. It makes it easier for me to make you happy and please you. I know that for me know and hearing what and how you want to be handled is a huge turn on especially when it leads to me getting a full release for you.

Due to the "overrepresentation of sexually-frustrated men", some of them DO pose as sexy young women, just so other guys will talk while stroking their cocks and talking about doing naughty things with them. So forgive us if we're a tad suspicious, especially with someone who joined a week ago, doesn't have a profile, and only has two posts. That obviously doesn't include you, Jenni. But once bitten, twice shy, as they say.

As long as everyone cums, where's the foul?

I don't get the appeal? Everyone is born with a certain sexual orientation. Do they think everyone is fluid?

I enjoy chatting with men and jerking off together. I just don't like being misled.

Many people are fluid, especially as they grow older, as you will find if you talk to just about ANYONE here on Lit...

This is interesting but I think Lit is overrepresented by chronically horny people. I have never asked a female acquaintance in real life how often she masturbates. Yet that information is freely exchanged here. Which provides a safe alternate reality that allows us to freely explore our sexuality without fear of shame and consequences.

I mean maybe? Everything is a spectrum?

Did Kinsey study this?

It's very popular at the moment.

Yoo hoo! Not everyone is a mouth breather.

I have literally never chatted with anyone who mentioned an OF account. Not that I would ever do OnlyFans, but I somehow feel cheated...

Clearly every woman on Lit is not a man, however the ones that are typically use pictures that are either professionall

clearly not all women posting here are men posing as women but it’s not uncommon. Usually pretty easy to tell, either photos are clearly professional ( which most on here or not) or photos are two different people or they are so clearly over the top with their post.
