When we first started Literotica, we created the category "Same Sex Stories" as a catch-all for lesbian, gay male, and some bisexual erotica. However, after rethinking the situation (and a few prompting emails from readers), I realized that putting lesbian stories in with gay male stories was a mistake. They are two entirely different groups of people whose interests don't overlap - someone looking for a lesbian tale will generally not be turned on by a man-on-man encounter, and vice versa.
Therefore, Same Sex is gone. It's been split into two categories - Gay Male and Lesbian. I'm still in the process of switching things completely, but for now all the stories are in their respective categories.
What I noticed in the process was the inequity of the division. We have far more lesbian stories than gay male tales. While, I'm thrilled to have so many lesbian submissions, I feel we're doing our gay male readers a disservice by not offering a wider selection of reading material geared towards them. I also notice that the discussions on this board are mainly of heterosexual topics (except for a recent one - thank you Crystal!).
Gay male and lesbian readers out there - please do not be afraid to express your opinions here. Your input will only add value to the BB, and you might be surprised by how much interest your posts create. And please don't be afraid to submit your stories (especial you gay guys out there!). Hopefully, splitting the categories will allow your stuff to be read more easily by those who appreciate it.
That's all for now! Any input is appreciated!
