Survey: Incidence of the blues among wild women

[shereads]

I wanna tell you something, I wouldn't tell you a lie
Wild women are the only kind that really get by
'Cause wild women don't worry, wild women don't have the blues

~ Ida Cox, Wild Women Don't Have The Blues, 1924

This link is a gift for some pornsters I know who love this kind of music. Those I don't know are welcome to love it, too.

It's a small gesture of appreciation, as I celebrate a Year and a Month of Free Dirty Stories.

Honestly, pornsters, do you know what a valuable public service you perform?

There are porn-hungry women out there ~ divorced women in midlife crisis! ~ who didn't even know they needed dirty stories until one breathless night last year, at the crest of an insane month during which half a dozen crises, both personal and professional, hit the fan simultaneously, coinciding with the installation of fast-access internet service in these women's homes.

One night, compelled by a bout of wee-hours insomnia, these women decided to "surf for porn" as the men at the office used to say, to see what all the fuss was about. At first the women were content with the guilty pleasure of staring at naked penises in countless configurations. That phase of the journey lasted at least ten minutes, maybe more.

Then these newly porn-crazed women discovered the glint of gold dust in the river: dirty stories! Not back-of-the-bookstore dirty stories, with their burden of guilt and embarrassment; not delayed gratification dirty stories like the ones they had ordered from amazon; but right-this-minute, seriously dirty stories. The women were appalled. And they couldn't get enough.

Really, they couldn't. Most of their anxious Googles for "erotic stories" didn't lead to stories at all, but to XXXTeenTitsXXX pop-ups. You can imagine the women's frustration. Moreover, they began to worry that these keyword searches were being recorded for posterity and broadcast directly into the offices of the Justice Department, who would someday show them to the women's mothers.

These poor women were about to give up on the once-promising world of porn. Had they done so, they'd most likely have wasted their insomnia thinking of new, more painful ways to recall past relationships, and scarier visions of future failures. But fate intervened.

Something compelled the women to try one more Google. And this time, undeterred by the veritable obstacle course of enormous XXXTeenTitsXXXX, the women followed the insistent voice of their libidos through an unlikely maze of links until at last, their reward was revealed.

Stretched out before them, like the Pacific Ocean at the feet of Lewis & Clark, was the Promised Land of Pornography. The El Dorado of Free Dirty Stories.

Literotica!

Here, divorced women in midlife crisis are alleged to have enjoyed many a sleepless night squirming in their desk chairs. Or so I've heard.

Some say, the true story is even more lurid!

And if it's true, they owe it all to you. Thank you, sexy pornographers.

Enjoy your blues.

Sher, thank you. Your appreciation is not taken for granted by this pornstress.

I love it too Sher, thank you.

 

[shereads]

I'm curious about how each of you found Literotica. I can't remember precisely how I stumbled across the site, maybe from a "best-of" list someplace. I had no idea there was anything like this - uncommercial, no pop-ups, and forums where I wasn't afraid of catching something just by logging on.



How did you get here? Why did you stay?

 

[Guest]

I had an itch to scratch one day and was looking for erotica, a specific type of story but that's not for public note. I don't know why but after reading a couple stories I checked out the site and found the SRP forum and dove in. After a couple months I braved the AH and wrote my first 'solo' story.

I've been listening to the May 9 Bad Dog Blues show since I posted above. This is great, thanks again. P.

p.s. I went to the GB once, posted a correction about Catherine the Great, and got flamed, never went back.

Heh...I read the title, then voted...then read the very first post by shereads. Glad I did because I was about to compare two girlfriends from long ago...

Actually, I found lit by accident. I was doing a search for...um...erotic stories and Lit came up in the results. I hit on it and found heaven. Of course I already had asstr and storiesonline on my favorites menu...but for some reason lit has stuck with me strongly.

When I posted my very first story, I came to lit. It got rejected...twice...after I fixed the grammar and spelling errors, it went through. Never looked back since. Lit always gets my stories first. (A few have taken longer than SOL or asstr to show on the site...not my fault though.)

Now...about those two girlfriends...

 

[matriarch]

OK. Confession time.

I had been surfing, like P, for specific stories....(not for public divulgence), found a site a really liked and devoured almost everything on there. Discovered one specific write who's work I really, really liked. Plucked up the courage to write to them, and to my astonishment received a delightful reply. We began corresponding, then IM-ing. I began to share my fantasies with them, and they liked them so much, and the way I wrote them, I was persuaded to put them into a story form. I did; my im-mate again liked them, nagged and nagged me until I was persuaded to post one.

I was astounded at the positive responses. Gobsmacked, even !!

That was in May last year. And here I am, still writing.

A far cry from the poetry I had been writing since a teenager.

And, Literites, that first posting was the best thing I ever did. I have made so many new and wonderful friends all over the world. And now the icing on my personal cake, is my stepping into the AH world. I love it and ALMOST all the people in it.

*blowing a group kiss*.

Can't imagine my life now, without all you wonderful people in it.

May 9? I'm on my way there.

I love the old recordings, especially the women, from the 20's and 30's. I don't know the history of the music, but coming from a world entirely alien to the one those ladies inhabited, I get a pleasant little thrill from the lyrics. There's something so open and accepting in the way they view the world. It's fun to be bad, it hurts to gamble and lose, and it's silly to pretend you won't risk it all again. They celebrate the fact of being human, without a hint of self-consciousness. It's like peaking into a secret world that existed next door to my white Southern ancestors, and wondering how it's possible for two such different attitudes toward sex and spirituality to be found on the same planet.

I'd written some porn stories, and I'd been running peer-to-peer network (KaZaa and BearShare) to grab other stories and artwork and to get my stories and artwork out to an audience.

Most of the stories were piss poor, most of the artwork was astoundingly good.

I ran across, all at once, a literate porn story (about a professor and two frivolous freshmen pledges to a sorority) and the thing had a pseudonym and also an e-mail address at the top. Honest, the guy could write an English sentence and everything! He used subjunctive!

So I wrote him a thnk-you note for being literate. He replied, because I could write an English sentence, and for all I remember I may even have used subjunctive... plus I didn't say, "luvd yr storie got more pussy storys."

So I corresponded with the professor to ask him if he had a handle on a better way to get the work out. He said I do a site called Literotica...

I don't fully remember. I was writing so-called "real" stories and getting into funks because I'd get obsesively perfectionist on the wording and rhetoric and realized I needed to get back in the habit of writing quick and dirty. Well the dirty keyword must have jived at the same time I found this site and a couple of my random story insights popped up with a gooey sexual storyline. So before I knew it I was posting a whole bunch of sticky stories and falling in love with a online author's community that really does keep the moronic flamewars to a minimum.

So I don't know what you'd call it, infernal providence?

"Moronic Flamewars" sounds like a paperback sci-fi series.

I searched Google for "erotica" and found a ton of horrid little sites before finding Lit.

I first started lurking on the forums looking for posts by my favorite writers, writer-groupie that I am.

 

[Belegon]

I do not remember how I first found Lit. I remember that I had been reading at another site and I believe it was when they started "forcing" registration that I found Literotica. I read a couple of stories, liked them, kept coming back for more.

I had not made an attempt to write anything for literally years before I decided to try here. Now I am hooked.

Hmm about a new race of psychics that can attack with stupidity (people always get headaches talking to stupid people right?). Yeah, I can see it now. Heads bursting into flames by the power of the emphatic mindlessness. Brave smart people hiding in idiocy-proof bunkers trying to learn how to combat pure stupidity. Damnitt, now I have another story to add to my list.

What if it's not fiction? What if we're living the opening chapters now?

This explains everything.

I found a cheesy free story site with a poor layout, but on that cheesy story site was a really un-cheesy author. The first feedback I ever had the gall to send was to that author. They replied back and I asked if there was more of their work elsewhere. Sure enough there was. Right here.

Got here in January (officially) and don't see myself going anywhere else for such material.

I've visited the other few sites like this one and really don't think they hold a candle to Lit. Which is good because I kinda like it here.

I was writing long before I ever posted...ironically enough, at the urging of the person who first introduced me to Lit. Thanks again, btw.

p.s. Sher, are you sure those women were just squirming in that desk chair, or could there have been something else going on during those sleepless nights?
