Why did you come to Lit?

[Lord Pmann]

Why did you originally come to Lit?

Based on a discussion in another thread, I decided to post this poll.

Hypothesis was that, as a whole (not hole, pervs), girls came to Lit for reading story purposes and that guys came for other reasons.

Initially it was for the stories. Somehow I got into the boards and have enjoyed it ever since.

Because I’m a horny bitch

 

[LostGirlTink]

I actually came to lit to learn about myself.
I am the opposite of what you hypothesize and I'm pretty sure almost every person in that discussion told you your hypothesis was incorrect, so I'm curious to see if a wider subset yields different results.
I was linked to several specific threads and it was suggested I read through them to learn about myself, I did, I got stalked, I left.
The topic came up about a year later again and I came back. I read more. I learned about myself. I wandered about, I enjoyed what I found and I stayed. That includes the stories. Then I made friends, really enjoyed the community and then I fell in love and voila here we are.
The stories are good, but they are footnote in my timeline here.

And honest too.

 

[spawnofdavey]

I found the story pages but soon moved to the forums.. I'm sure I posted some of my own pictures too.

Chatting and finding some off site friends also.

I found the stories first and didn't bother to explore much of the other areas of Lit for quite some time.

 

[Wild_Honey_66]

I came for social interaction, intellectual stimulation (not a euphemism ), and creative expression.

I didn't lurk before i joined. I should have. This was my first adult site and i had no idea what i was getting into. I never expected to form relationships or attachments, I'd never experienced online drama before, and i sure as hell never expected to be adjusting my sleep schedule so i could get off over the phone with a guy who lives 5,269 miles away. Talk about a steep learning curve.

On the upside, BDSM was a fun bonus. Learning what men really think about womens' bodies was eye-opening. And everything to do with ass play on guys has been a welcome addition to my kink list. Thanks, Lit!

Yes, this.

A Pleasant Habit

I'm not sure how many years I have been on Literotica. Maybe over ten? I used to be under a different username, but there was a mix-up and was away for a while, then returned with this username. Don't remember the original reason I found Lit. I stay because I like the stories, participate in several forums, and enjoy spending time in the Lit Chat rooms.

 

[Lord Pmann]

The question is what "originally" brought you to Lit, correct?

This is correct. I'll edit my original post.

 

[Apisto42]

I came for (& because of) the stories for years before I ever even browsed the forums. I started posting a few years back, but didn’t really dive in until last year (aren’t you a lucky bunch of pervs?).

Still like the stories though I am more likely to read authors I know now instead of filtering on kink.

Intellectually stimulating conversation and getting stalked...

 

[PNWKitten]

Originally...curiosity. I found Lit on accident while googling something else. I was looking for a book and "stories" brought up the link. So here I am. I was on lit for over a year or more before I even knew about the forums section.

 

[Smoothshavendad]

MySpace shut down.

 

[CharlieB4]

I started reading the stories then I wrote a few. It was probably two or three years before I found the boards. First I was looking for writers help in author hangout/editors forum then I found amateur pics and the playground .

 

[Shelly2inme]

I came to Literotica because...

I came to literotica because my husband and I got into reading stories about shared wives before I 'went hot.' Then he wanted me to set up an account so that I could write my sexual auto biography. But once I got on literotica I ended up discovering that I enjoy guided masturbation with men that I have never met. So, all the time I could be writing about my sexual evolution is spent in the chat room or with private messages while I have a vibrating dildo humming away in me.

I keep wanting to get time to try writing but I find this form of masturbation is addictive in a good way but it does eat up my time.

my g/f was on here, and she encouraged me to join

Looks like Lord Pmann is gonna have to eat crow on this one. At least based on the small sample size at the moment. Maybe my fellow pervs can put down their dicks for a moment to vote.

I have the hardest time imagining any guy searching for erotic literature. Like, maybe they don't know there is porn? Like, you can see that. And you don't have to read people refer to their jiggly bits as "her garden" or "his throbbing manhood".

Again, I'm shocked beyond words that this many guys came here for the stories. Are you sure that's not just a lie you all have told girls to get them thinking you're not classless wanky fuckers? It's a private poll. They can't see.

 

[catherinewheel77]

I was originally drawn to Lit after receiving a particularly specific recommendation from someone on goodreads. Ironic, considering said person was not touting the site for its stories. In fact, I’ve read a total of maybe ten since joining. I got what I came for..and then some. As a bonus, I was also fortunate enough to cultivate some treasured friendships.

I'd be curious to know how many people came here to write.

I’m a classy wanky fucker. I wear my monocle whilst reading erotic smut thank you. And that’s tea in my cup, not whiskey. Well, sometimes it’s bourbon.

Seriously, it’s not that hard to understand. I’d rather read smut than to see some nasty ass fake tittied hooker get railed by creepy dudes.

But there's amateur porn! Worlds better than most of the staged crap. I definitely watch more than i read. Or did.
