^^^^ THIS. It's been stated above, but it's critical to me to have somewhat equal contribution from my role-playing partner. When I discover that someone basically just wants me to write them a script to masturbate to, I end it pretty quickly. Politely, but quickly. If I just want to write a whole perverted story, I'll write it for myself incorporating my favorite things.
I agree 100%, it's a bit like porn movie and someone just fast forwarding to the cum shot and misses the build up to how they got naked and met
I admit that I enjoy video compilations of just plain cumshots when I want to blow my load. But I still more enjoy clips with at least some setup and dialogue. And then my own stories for myself, I have found that I'm much more interested in the events and discussions that lead up to a particularly... controversial encounter. And I feel the same way in my role plays. We've all had sex, we know what it feels like. I love the questioning, probing, and tension that lead up to an illicit situation.
I am so glad to read these comments. I have had a few fun RP but most of the time it flops for the very reason you mention. In fact, I find that guys want to jump the gun and skip any talk about what the storyline would be. Nothing creative just fast forward to jerk off. Same planet... different worlds.
Thank you
You never truly know the time someone plans to spend using a site or continuing to chat to same person, there are those that have a contract working away from home for a few months and they use Lit to entertain themselves and then contract ends and they delete and just go back home. Others use the site once a week or month put all their effort in a disappear.
I think its not hard to be polite and just be honest and communicate
That's what I've thought for years, but that isn't the practice, obviously...
I fully agree.
The world has changed and online chatting is nowhere near as good as past
Past doesn't matter. I've been RPing on this site for most of the twenty plus years since I joined, and the practice of just bugging out on a RP partner with no warning hasn't changed.
It's a shame because finding a good partner can be so rewarding
Oh, I know. I've had several really good writing partners over the years, but it hasn't kept them from ghosting me after a while.
I'm sure it has to some extent but I hope it hasn't ruined your experience and stopped RPing
100% This, and for another reason that you didn't quite touch on. When a person is just saying "whatever you like" to every question you ask, it puts ALL of the pressure on you. You have nothing to springboard off of, essentially leaving the entirety of the plot to you. One of the main reasons to have a partner in the first place is to get their input, see what curve balls they throw you, etc. I've rebooted threads in the past, with a different partner, and literally started with the exact same post, but had the threads go in ENTIRELY different directions, simply because of who was on the other side, what they wanted, and the curve balls they threw. I absolutely loved both threads, each for their own reasons. It's just nice to be able to split the load and know that your partner will carry their end if you get stuck.
Yup, I 100% agree! So many people don't understand the difference between what is effectively literary porn and actual erotica. The difference is the build up before the sex and what's going on in the character's head. At it's core, sex is just sex, but it's what you do in addition to it, even during the intercourse itself, that sets erotica apart from porn.
