Relaxed category/content guidelines?

When my boys were young enough, if a dick had popped up from a book, they would have said, "Look dad, a penis." Then they might have giggled, but they would not have died from it. As they say down south: "All y'all settle down now, hear."

If it happened now there would be a major lawsuit.

People could shrug things off years ago, now everything is a personal slight to what is a over medicated spoiled and weak generation.
 
Of the two of us, I'm pretty sure I'm the only who has actually functioned as a diplomat and held a diplomatic passport. :D In diplomacy, we converse as adults. I do the same here on the forum--and did so here in the context of this being an adult site where everyone can jolly well take responsibility for themselves and not require babysitters. I also don't spend a whole lot of time worrying about what other posters are doing and ragging on them. You might try that.

You have not conversed as an adult here, you do not converse as an adult anywhere on these boards.

In fact I wonder if you are medicated or if you need medication because how you say you act...is the opposite of how you are acting.

You say people want to be catered and pandered to? You spend all your time here begging for attention and looking for people to stroke your ego.

You snark and insult then say others are acting immaturely. You speak of this site as if it were worthless, the readers are stupid, the authors have no idea what they're talking about.

Yet somehow in every thread-even if it has nothing to do with the topic-you somehow find a way to brag about how many stories you have. If this site is full of people so much less than yourself why post your literary masterpieces here? By the way I think everyone here knows the answer to that one.

As for the diplomat? Give me a break. Anyone who served in that position would not exhibit the behavior you do, you would be above that.

To refresh, everything you accuse people of doing you are doing. You say you're this, but act the opposite, easily proving your lies.

Not sure if your name should be changed to "SR Paradox 71 or perhaps you could seek out author "TX TALL tales" and see if you can swap names with him, because you have some whoppers.
 
Category Deregulation

I think this is one of those cases where an unregulated free market actually works without hurting anyone.

Writers want high ratings and glowing comments on their stories. If SexyBlondeDDgrl4U (surprise! not actually blonde or female) writes a story about a boy who keeps his mom and sister in a sex dungeon, and then posts it in Erotic Poetry, she/he will miss the target audience and get low ratings and nasty comments that are unforgettable due to their clever use of rhyme and alliteration.

The story will soon disappear from the New Erotic Poetry page, and, due to it's low ratings, will never be read again except by the now thoroughly demoralized writer. For a while, he/she... he will go through the Erotic Poetry category and give every poem one star and leave anonymous comments about how the poet is certainly no Dr. Seuss.

Once he gets that out of his system, he'll find some MILF porn, return Mom to her imaginary dungeon, and find some way to relieve his anxiety.

(SexyBlondeDDgrl4U is a product of my imagination and is used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, is coincidental.)

Yes, the good old days, when you could push porn to schoolchildren and nobody would care. Apparently? I guess? Not really sure what else the takeaway here might be...

I think the takeaway from this really strange example is that if you're going to melt into the floor from encountering a sexual element that offends you in a Lit. story, you really shouldn't be playing on porn sites--and you definitely need to grow up emotionally/mentally at least a bit more. This isn't Disney World. If you want to remake it into that, be sure to send a hefty check.
 
I never said a word about porn. I was speaking of raising children with a healthy attitude about sex, so that they are not harmed or scandalized when they see a perfectly normal picture of a perfectly normal thing, a penis, for that is the example that was given, not pornography. For those not mature enough to handle the sight of a penis or a breast without freaking out, I have this admonition: You are not as grown up as my daughter was at five years old.

You think a paper pop-up penis is porn? Really?

I visited the Naples, Italy area a few years back. Many stores had racks of retail goods edging the sidewalks displaying tourist souvenirs, craftworks, toys, etc. I saw foot-tall dolls of robed nuns and priests placed at a child's eye-level. Flip up the robes and voila! Exaggerated genitalia, some lever-operated! Were these pornographic, or merely laughable? I won't even mention all the squirty-titted nymph fountains and mosaics.

Anatomy isn't pornographic. It's all in the head.
 
Still, we seem to have moved far away from hyperventilating over seeing something unexpected in a story on Literotica and expecting to be protected from that from the the get go. :rolleyes:
 
Personally, I don't care to look at a pop-up penis (or a pop-up vagina). If anyone wants to make that into a puritanical meme or to where I don't belong on Lit, screw you. That is all. Carry on. :)

I think they're supposed to pop up. I heard that somewhere, anyway. :cattail:
 
Can Pilot come too? It's not that I want him to, but he's stalking me and I'm sure he'll follow anyway. We'll never see him until it's too late because of his CIA ninja training.

NO. Three is a crowd. Pilot can find his own partner. You haven't been on enough lately for Pilot to be following you. :D

To say that something is healthy and natural is not the same as to say it should be in a kid's book. Would someone be sued if they put giant cocks in a book and sold it to kids? No, they would be arrested instead. I'm not making an ideological argument here, mind you, just a factual one.

This was true decades ago too. Hellblazer seems to think that back in the "good old days" before the "weak generation" this kind of thing would have been fine, but no, back in the "good old days" people were even more terrified of frank depictions of sex, even ones that available only to appropriate audiences.

Once he has your top-secret file it's only a matter of time before the drones come.

Wow, what a killer idea! You should have kept that one close to the vest. I can see it now: The Dick Family Adventures. And we're not talking Phillip K. either.

There's a big dick, and a small dick, and a medium dick, see. And they all go out to seek their fortune. By and by they meet a sweet little vagina, and...hell, I'm not going to write it for you.

But I would borrow a little from Goldilocks if I were going to write it.

That could be so, but I'm not worried. I have another song ready to dedicate to our humble friend. Turn the lights out, would you? I'll lock the door. xo

Fade to darkness punctuated only by the soft sounds of passion.

I had just posted that visual images of pop-up penises were irrelevant to the thread issue, you ditz. No one suggested they would be on Lit.
