I Only Enjoy Multiples Not in the Context of Personalities

Am I too late?

I just saw this thread and hope I'm not too late to add my one and a half cents worth to it.

I can understand someone playing with an alternate identity for fun or for trying something new, as long as they are up front about it. Some of those I have seen here have some interesting results. If the person is doing it to be malicouse (sp), well some people get their rocks off doing things like this. I can't respect it, but they do it.

As for me? I wouldn't even try to have an alternate. I get into enough trouble with just one. (Besides, I don't have to have a second to try the gender writing. My mind is pervertedly warped enough that I can get away with it. )

Now if I could only find an AV that shows my true personality. Hmmmm, maybe an Escher would do it.

It's never too late.

That takes me back a few years. My one and only ELP album. Brain Salad Surgery? Fanfare, Benny the Bouncer.

I love both the band and the artist. Both were geniuses as far as I consider them. One were one of the first originators of techno, the other an unmatched surrealist painter.

Brain Salad Surgery?

Ah ha ha! Gauche's salad days.

I don't mind people having pen names and posting stories under different names. And I don't mind people who have obvious alter-egos and are upfront about it, like Lou and Og and SweetnPetite.

Anything else counts is deliberate misrepresentation in my book, and no matter what your motives are, it's deceitful.

I can recall at least one instance of a male here who posed as a female and led several other male Litsters out on a deceptive and embarrassing sexual dance in PM's. God knows how many there've been that we don't know about. It's not exactly the best way to build trust and engender friendships.

I don't think that multiple personalities is a major issue.

What might be is that few of us are actually the same as the real life person. I am not a several-thousand year old King, nor King Henry VIII although I dress up as him.

It could be embarrassing for the real me if some of my real life roles were associated with writing for Literotica. It wouldn't be seriously damaging but could impede some of the work I do for the community and I might get adverse local press coverage.

In real life we assume roles. I am a husband, father, uncle, nephew, great-uncle, brother-in-law and those are only my family roles. I behave slightly differently in each role. My nieces would object if I treated them the same way as their under-five offspring.

When I consider my roles in the community it gets even more confusing for others to follow.

I do not think I am unusual in having so many roles. Oggbashan is just one of many roles. Jeanne and Fag-Ash_Lil are just variations of Og.

Being a different person on the Internet is a self-defence mechanism to avoid embarrassing consequences. I have been threatened (not on Lit) by people who objected to some of the things I said. There are scary people around on the Internet and even those who are not can get the wrong idea from electronic interaction.

If I were to meet any of the AH people in real life I would treat them as potential friends yet I would not presume to an intimacy that does not exist. I would be careful to establish a real life rapport before presuming to go further than I would with anyone I met for the first time. For example if I met Tatelou in real life her backside would be unviolated and as safe from me as any other woman's however much I might enjoy virtually chasing her ass in Literotica.

I'm a man.

never been a woman.

I AM wearing a Woman's t-shirt right now..and a woman's knit hat and glove's (the hat a "bobble hat" to some..without the bobble part).
I am not what one might call a "cross dresser", but am not afraid to put on women's clothes for effect.

I do not want to BE a woman. Though, I do enjoy being WITH women.

My alt. Identity was always ME (as a man)....still is. I did not use that alt to TRICK anyone. I figured anyone who cared or noticed would CERATINLY guess after I got my AV. TateLou actually suspected prior...i acknowledged her accuracy and shortly after "came out". Though, I am not gay.

That's cos I pay attention. Shocky isn't as smart as me.

Ok, time for me to come clean, as for the real reason I started up my alt, Shock Chick. It was so that I could covertly post and flirt (with one man in particular), from the security of relative anonymity.

As Tatelou I am completely me, I've never tried to hide my real identity: my real name, etc. I found that, by being so open, it also opened me up to a certain amount of come-back. Fine, mostly, I don't have a problem with that. In fact, I can't be anything else but me. That's why my "Shock Chick ruse" didn't work. Many people saw right through her. I had PM's, telling me they knew who I really was.

This realistaion that I wasn't fooling anyone came two days before April Fool's day. I then decided it was as good a time as any to cover up any embarrassment I might have been feeling by claiming that it had been an April Fool's prank all along. So, Shock Chick, the hard bitch, was born. I'd never intended her to be like that, not originally, anyway.

So, now you all know the real reason. I never, ever intended anyone any harm by starting up that alt, it was just a way for me to have more fun.

It has also proved something else to me: I am still me, and can only be me, even when I try to be someone else.

That's also why I saw through Dark&Stormy (Rhino's alt). I recognised him, just from the way he typed.

We are all individuals, and ourselves will always shine through, eventually.

Me,

Katie-Lou

yep... can't type.
and use ....................... extensively
and transpose letters..esp. "thta"

You are wonderful in your uniqueness.

Thank you both once again for your responses! For the sake of further clarification, I feel it necessary to also assert that I in no way am of the opinion that being online must mean you should bare your naked soul to the vast majority of readers.

Og, I am sorry if my post came across in that way at all. It was certainly not my intent.

My issue lies primarily with screen name "Bob" who is pretending to also be screen name "Tammy" and "Samantha," on the same forum, without outright stating such to the public. In my mind, no real life situation/former threats, and/or work place reputation you mentioned warrents such actions.

You have always been upfront about your Shocking alter-ego.

I wasn't, not for the first week or so, for reasons explained above.

About six months ago (I thnk) I did create an alternate Lit name to use when I was upset about a trend in the AH that distrubed me. However, I never used it and decided to post my feelings as Lime. Surely, I did manage to piss off some people here for a while, but in the end, felt better for having been honest about the whole affair (although in retrospect I believe I also over-reacted a bit). Just another lesson learned and now I just let the water flow under the bridge.

Thanks for letting me stay in the family.

Yeah, ya daft bugger!

Gotta admit to feeling a bit hurt at the time, but that never lasts long with me. We talked about it, became closer as a result, so all is good.

I meant upfront in a more literal sense.

I get what you are saying, though. Thank you.

Everyone makes mistakes. I'm beginning to now feel a little guilty for starting this thread, for example. I didn't intend it as a confessional to make anyone feel bad.

Cheers, lime. I forgive you, now you forgive me, k?
