Do you write from real experiences?

My RL sex life, while worthy of my needs, isn’t nearly as interesting as would support the stories I’ve published. So…. Nearly Total fiction.

I think there are hints of real life experiences, like when trying to describe a feeling, smell, taste, but I enjoy reading and writing brother / sister incest because of the feelings of taboo and it being wrong, yet I am male and have never had a sister so wouldn't even really know that dynamic on any level.

The sad emojis were agreements and sympathy, not criticism. I believe everything you wrote because that describes many of the people in my region. Thankfully, I was not raised that way, my family was secular, but the poison gets absorbed when you're swimming in it. I never found vanilla sex shameful nor taboo but it took me years to shed the Puritanical shame about other lovely sexual stuff.

So as not to derail the thread, I haven't written much yet (5 stories so far) but they were all recollections of real events, I lived them. I wrote to help others not feel such pointless shame and guilt. I'm glad so many of you write. I'm glad LitE exists. We need such positive healthy counterprogramming to the dominant narrative in my part of the world.

Would like to read your stories.

Hello folks,
We have a lot of outlandish sex in our private lives which I would also like to write about. I cannot find a tag for non fiction or True stories. What's the best way to show which of my stories are true?
