Why do you post?

[SexyAmber]

I figured this would be a great forum to answer that question as I get it all the time and also I am curious why other people do it.

Personally, not to get on my soap box, but I post for several reasons. I was raised in a very strict household where any thought sex or even nudity was considered sinful and not appropriate. I am sure this is not a rarity. So maybe part of it is defiance against an upbringing. But it is also the reason I don't post nudes with my face, god forbid it get printed and handed to my parents LOL.

Secondly I am an exhibitionist, it gives me a thrill to show my body, I work hard to try to keep it in shape, like it or hate it it is how I want it. And that is not easy to finally accept about yourself most of the time when I see myself naked I see all the flaws...freckles here...not skinny enough there...

Thirdly, I think that the human body is beautiful. Almost religious in it's imperfect perfection. That is why I compliment everyone, I see beauty in all of our differences. Our uniqueness. I applaud the bravery of people in touch with their naturalness and the willingness to share it.

Finally, my life isn't perfect. We all have our crosses that we bare. We all can be with someone but feel lonely, or away from the one we love or tons of other circumstances. This is my forum to relax, enjoy and share with the sincerely wonderful and kind people...it relieves stress and let's me be in a place where I am not judged...not assumed to be stupid or a slut because of what I look like but to be accepted as I am.

Well that is all...LOL god sorry I ranted..please share your views...

Love to all

Why do I post?

Amber,

Thanks for sharing that insight with us.

I post mainly because it gives me a sense of freedom.. a way to escape my normal boring life.

When I was young I was ashamed of my body, but as I've grown I'm aware that really quite alot of people like it. This in turn has led to me accepting myself for what I am, and I feel comfortable sharing that with others, especially when I get such encouraging replies.

Finally, I have been made to feel very welcome here. It is great to be able to post on a board and within a space of a few weeks have built up a number of friendships.

Thats my two cents... -x-

 

[billnec]

Well... Amber...

I post because I've been moved by what someone else has said... just like I'm reponding to your post...

Something in what you wrote touched me... moved me, if you will... and I feel compelled to respond... that's it...

For your recent post I'm really intrigued by what you say... the imperfect perfection... or the perfect imperfection...

I find that I agree with virtually all you said...

By the way... I really do enjoy "following" you and your posts... you're quite an interesting person... I wish I had more friends like you in the real world... thanks for your presence here...

 

[reelme]

Well I have searched out why I like coming to this place and why I have such an interest in nudity and the sight of a woman and you have hit a nail on its head in what you have pointed pointed out. I would love to meet you in real life.

 

[Glyndwr]

Hi Amber

I think you just about covered all the angles in your post. Apart from the reasons you state I am against censorship and this is quite a free version of society that has developed on the boards. Also there is the pure sexual reasons of being aroused by what I read, see and write here.

Nothing too ground breaking, but I hope it is a fair contributution to your thread.

 

[Mystical]

I post because I am a little exabitionist at heart. Also I hate the way I look but the comments make me feel good. My upbringing was very open and honest. I have just not been able to feel good about myself since my second child was born. But I will keep coming back.

 

[SexyAmber]

Thank you

Thanks for taking the time to respond to this as always I can relate to alot of what each of you said. I appreciate your honesty

Love
Amber

 

[DARKLY KRY]

personally...

I post just to get everybody else to take their clothes off.

No, I agree with Amber, I like my body, like my uniqueness, have an interest in others...and generally like the sense of freedom it gives me. Exhibitionist to the core I guess.

 

[The Dipsomaniac]

Amber that was a good post. Very raw and honest. I like that. And to all the others who posted here too.

My reason for posting i guess are similar to some and maybe not to others. I like the fact that you can do, say and enjoy certain things here in a way that sometimes is hard to get in the real (IRL) world. People tend to put up a facade out there, and while if you take the time to get to know someone it will come down, on here there is less of that. You tend to get people being more honest about themselves. The anonimity hepls i guess. Because people dont know you its hard(er) to judge you. I too come from quite a strict (hah) family background. I say hah because i dont agree with all the things my family do, but for the most part you humour them, and as well respect how they feel on things.


Even though personally i'm not so much of an exhibisionist as some wh post here, it can be fun to post you own pics, kept commented and propositioned on... always keeps things interesting...

And the flirting. Nothinging beats having a good flirt with someone. When you can counter there comments with your own and heat the board up a little if you can (not saying I can). But i know theres been moments where this board has got rather hot!

And as Amber said, sure life isnt perfect, and we all have out own little idiosynchrisies (how do you spell that). I have a lot of friends outside of here, but sometimes all i want o do is sit down and chat on this board. Its hard to define exactly what the pull (no pun intended) is in this place, but at times it can be more fun that real life... i guess its kind of escapism... break from the monotany or RL. Anyway thats it from me, dont want to write to much of an essay on this topic!

Cheers to all!

Why I Post

Hi Guys

I post because a small group of merciless German terrorists have kidnapped two of our beloved family dogs and have threatened to violently slaughter them if I do not post naked pictures of myself on the internet every two weeks. God only knows what their agenda is, but my one rule has always been...don't f--k with German terrorists!

I hope somehow my story will stop others from being forced into the same uncomfortable scenario. Well...gotta go...Hans has bought a new digital camera and he looks anxious to try it out.

Love to all

A very good question!
I thought long and *HARD* before responding.The reason I post is manyfold,but most important to me is the ability to communicate what I have to offer to those who are interested in what I have to say.

I read OTHERS post to *LEARN* what it is they wish to convey.Communication is the KEY to understanding.

I wonder how many marriages have been destroyed by one or both parties inability to communicate effectively?

I abhor a closed mind,for a closed mind is unable to LEARN.

My main purpose on lit,is to satisfy as many needs for women as I can.This doesn't mean ONLY sexual needs,but mental and emotional as well.

 

[Ferun]

why i post

i post because im horny and have got nothing better to do.....

besides that though most of the people here are postitive, respectful and it just feels like a nice community of sex crazed people.... its so addicting here iv practically forgotten to do anything else online but sit here, read and post...

 

[WhiteRose]

I post because it's the first environment that I've been in where I can express my inner fantasies and fears and experiences hopefully without being judged on or by them, and where the other posters are mature, take the topics seriously, and answer questions I wouldn't have been able to ask elsewhere.

 

[LookingForYouToo]

Why I post?

What a great question and wonderful answer.....I post to get Amber naked....{{wink}}...no really I do!!

I enjoy the idea of being able to be myself without having to make believe I am someone else just to get along with others...

I know that there are very few people in this world who really know the real me...(sometimes I wonder if I know)...

I think it gives all of us a chance to "let our hair down" (or shave it off) for people we don't know. But because we don't know them we are able to be honest with ourselves and each other....

The majority of those who post on LIT are kind, funny and very honest in their views and what does or does not turn them on...

By reading everyone else's post I have learned a few things about myself that I am glad to know and some that scare the s**t out of me....

Thanks again Amber for asking the thought provocing question that you did....and about the "getting naked pics of you" thing.....I meant every word..

LOL Jake....damn and I was posting to get you naked..the never ending cycle

*hugs*

 

[Cibo]

Hrm....

Why do I post?

Because I love to see the female body naked in all of its glory. I'm with you Amber and I came from a sorta strict household where any thought of sex was bad. Luckily, I'm the only one that knows how to use the computer, because if they found out how to use this...I'd be dead meat and cry. And I actully love to show off my body with the kind of clothing I wear, but I like to see the female body more, and I think thats why.

 

[armyjim_2000]

Reason I post

I post my words to call attention to the female form, in all it's imperfection. The pure joy of seeing women in various states of undress thrill me to the bone. I naturally cheer the sheer joy we have in the ability to do this, due to the men and women before me, who guaranteed that right in blood, sweat and tears. I feel that this should never be forgotten.

I have not posted pics of myself for another, more important and ultimately prophetic reason...if everyone saw the pics I would post, they would either die of fright, or quit coming around to post! (HA,HA,HA!)

This is a wonderful way to get total anoymous feeback on your desires......you can also put down the kinkiest things you might want to be involved in and find i think at least a few answers that you know are for real.....I am both an exhibitionist and a voyeur so this truly is a great place for me...to see other peoples fantasies or desires, to comment on them, not to judge them, and then also to find out what others thing of my thoughts......

I find so many of the yahoo and msn clubs to be places for advertising to pay sites...i rarely go there.....but besides possible just throwing things out in the open two people can connect and take it privately to email and share there thoughts even more intimately....guess thaat sums up why i am here wish i could spend ore time.....

 

[Kiwi Couple]

We post...

because it's fun. We love being able to post photo's and get feedback from people all over the world. It's an ego boost, it's exciting, it's foreplay...and fun!!!

 

[Guest]

I do because I'm addicted

Actually, I post to escape from my own personal reality. It's fun to carry out my fantasies in a safe way. My name is, obviously, not bully. I chose it because it expresses the opposite of my true self. I'm actually a kind kid at heart who, as it turns out, is a little adventurous as well (okay, so I'm a perv). I'm in no physical danger here because words can only hurt if we allow them to.

I, too, always try to be generous with my praise to others here. Not as a matter of form, but because I truly appreciate the majority of what I read and see. There is a beauty in people that can be expressed here in ways they might never considder in public. Of course they would likely be arrested if they displayed themselves publicly as they do here, but the point is that the freedom found at lit is empowering and inspirational. People need this place as an outlet....a release.

Love to all here..

Why? Why? Why?

Why do we post? Why do we not post? You so have this habit of tossing out some interesting thought provoking questions!

To be frank, I’m a writer not a model; I don’t think you’d get half the fun out of pics I might post as you do from my stories. But the motivation is similar. I post my erotic stories on this site because this is the best place that I’ve found to share one of my favorite hobbies.

This is a great forum to exchange ideas, thoughts, fantasies, realities, in essence, ourselves: what we are, and what we’d like to be. There is much beauty to be found in the poetry, the prose, the roleplays, and of course the pictures, especially those from Olivianna, Amber, and NHG (please come back Sweetheart, we miss you!).

I identify with some of you though about the strict upbringing. Although Momma loves the stories in The New Yorker and Atlantic Monthly, there’d be some real hell to pay if she saw the family name attached to the stories I post here!

Bottom line, it’s fun, and I enjoy doing what is fun! And to be able to share it with other like minded people doubles the pleasure.

Thanks for asking another great question, A! You’ve really brightened up this place!

 

[easyg]

well for me it's a little anxious because I'm new to this. There's always been this stigma from back when I was in college that if you had to be online in chat rooms you weren't able to be social in real life so I generally was never interested since I had a nice active social life. I would occasionally run into forums and it was just blatent meat markets with about 2 women 50 guys trying to get them naked and no real conversation. I recently went through a breakup and was just hanging out lonely one night and thought to myself. The heck with it, I'm going to try to find something that I can meet some people. I won't even attempt to lie - I was also looking for some naked women and a nice helping of kink. What can I say I love everything about a woman. By pure luck I ran into literotica. The people were great, there were interesting conversations and a nice helping of sex, beautiful intelligent women. and some excellent reading. I read on, and suddently was hooked. I have been checking in just about every day since. I have had some nice conversations and it's all out gratifying to see people get naked.
As for what I look for or hope to get out of it. I'm very outgoing but at the same time shy and that good o'l upbringing as mentioned by many others has kept most of my little fantasies all secret. So I am still a little apprehensive about posting or sending emails for fear of being intrusive but I'm learning. I'm looking for interesting conversation, exploring life a bit because people in general just fascinate me. I hope to find something kinky because I've always been a bit more straight laced than I really want to be. Maybe get lucky and make a connection with someone, hopefully make some friends. I had my first chat encounter recently with msn messenger and it was exillerating, she was fantastic. Interesting, intelligent and there wsa just a nice hint of sex talk going on. It made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. It seems to let me be my real self for a change and not what you think people expect you to be. Maybe none of these little fantasies will come true here but at least I'm excited by the fact that they just might.

sorry about the book...
