lurking

I find it interesting in the topic you posted how I know that I have been a horrible lurker, but if I see something beautiful I always try to send a pm, or a post... however if I get a pm, I try to always respond, hope that makes sence.... but yeah, I guess I would be a lurker... one who steps out in the sunshine everyonce in awhile.

What an interesting bulletin board with so many strange and wonderful postings! Are people really doing half the stuff they say? I suppose I will never know. My own life is far more circumspect, a life appropriate for a mature man.

Here is my query. Beyond the posters, I wonder how many lurkers there are. You know, those people who would never post but who wander among the posts and wonder what it would be like to correspond with someone from this board. I suppose it is this sense of mystery that is part of the intrigue of the board and accounts for its popularity.

So into this mix of strange, sometimes tasteless and often illiterate postings I send out my own more articulate offer to the woman who wonders. Why not take a chance and find out? Send me a PM and let's discuss these and other matters further... nothing ventured, nothing gained...

I could be wrong, but my own personal guess is that people aren't doing half the stuff they say they are. here it seems to be more about the flirt than anything, and if you're not good at that or you want it to go farther, you're on your own.


having said that, good luck and I hope you find what you're looking for.

Yes, I think you are on to something here mrtnmoon. Flirting is part of that never ending dance that people do, at least those who are brave enough to come out into the open. The rest lurk in the shadows, afraid to admit that they get secret enjoyment out of vicariously participating in the passions of others.

Good luck to you as well and thanks for your observations.

Ah, so you have discovered that too. Literotica, a board of frustrated flirts! That is one thing I have noticed about the online world. It gives people a chance to look without revealing their identity, which has its advantages ;-) After all someone might even accuse me of doing that too! But then again, isn't that what Literotica is all about!

My, my... very perceptive Noteworthy. As a relatively new lurker myself I have come to wonder just how many people there really are lurking out there in the digital shadows of Literotica. Your post is very thought provoking. Well said!

"Tjay," it seems to me that you and your fellow poster "mysterymuse" are just as much "lurkers" as anyone else on this board. Which is not meant as a criticism, just as an observation. Why not be more forthright. Come out into the light so we can all see who you are. Or perhaps you find the shadows comforting, a place of refuge in an otherwise chaotic world. In that case, I understand how difficult and intimidating such revelations can be and I will leave you to lurk behind the scenes where it is safe.

Well Mr. Noteworthy, I cannot speak for "tjay" but as for myself I enjoy lurking and have no plans to "come out into the light so I can be seen." There is a certain intrigue about lurking in the shadows, just out of plain sight. Besides, with a name like "Mysterymuse" it is perfectly consistent with who I am. Thanks for your interest but I would rather stay where I am. To each his own!

I have seen several real life relationships come out of the boards now, but that does tend to be in the smaller world of the Author's Hangout. Me, I think it's like anywhere else in life. People have to have the courage to take the first step in meeting someone.

I'm not exactly new here (my old login somehow got locked up) but I find it ironic that you're encouraging people to "come out into the light" yet you've only made 5 posts yourself! So, I guess we could say the same to you...

Secret enjoyment of vicariously participating in the passions of others isn't the only reason some of us lurk. It's a form of impotence, I think. As you said, courage is, indeed, in short supply.

While people come to Lit for a variety of reasons, I have personally seen "real life" friendships spring from their time here. I don't see why sexual relationships would be any different.

I just find there's a lot of chaff in the wheat.

Bad Philosophy

Why must we validate our online life using a benchmark from the pre-computer era? Must Lit die when we all are walking hand in hand in a shadow free world? We go online to explore and learn and are immediately told we lack the courage to show ourselves by coming out from behind the mask of bits and bytes we wear in our darkened computer rooms. That is simply bad philosophy and it is unnecessarily limiting. Most of us live our lives in the harsh sunshine of employment, lawn mowing, gutter cleaning, grocery shopping, etc.
When I share a few erotic PMs with a stranger or have a lively online chat with a charming person or read a clever story on here, my heart does beat faster and that is a good thing. Must be meet, date, marry, have children and embrace Jesus to be complete or courageous? Is this 1953?

Lurk proudly! Post proudly! Write proudly! And don't fall prey to the assumption that lurking is a sign of weakness. It might be a sign of wisdom or even a keen self awareness of what works best for oneself.
More and more there are more and more people telling us we are not doing it right.

People have their own agenda they bring with them to Lit, and I recognize that. That agenda may or may not have any need for connectivity. I am not commenting on those.

I was specifically commenting on those who wish to connect but instead fall short.

I am well familiar with that particular lack of courage.
