What do you appreciate in this site? Why is this community valuable?

what exactly keeps other authors coming back to erotica,
I've always been interested in reading erotica, for the arousal factor. I came here when I had written some stories that I wanted to publish. See below for why I stayed.

and to this site specifically?
I've always liked to discuss and analyze ideas, and I can confidently say that I've never been in a group that is so satisfactory for that purpose, and I've been in some pretty intellectually impressive environments. Why is AH so full of people willing to discuss almost anything, and really intelligently? I don't remember ever starting a thread that didn't get at least a few interesting replies.

Does it have something to do with interest in erotica? Or is it just dumb luck?
As much as erotica might be thought of as cheap, disposable, or shallow, I don’t think anyone who hasn’t been in this kind of community can quite understand just how wholesome and beautiful it all is!!
Well, the whole community doesn't necessarily agree. I've posted one or two threads inquiring into the use of "naughty" as applied to sex. But, fundamentally, it is very freeing to be able to talk about anything related to sex, it does push the "honesty" button.
It hits a perfect sweet spot of sharp intellect, idiocy, assholery, supportiveness, and, most importantly, drama.
Yeah.
I come to learn and trade witty banter/opinions with smart, like-minded people.
Yes, but also unlike-minded people. Part of the fun is seeing into other minds and personalities, those that you wouldn't ordinarily know anything about.
I think writing erotica gets us on some level of intimacy and honesty that’s difficult to cultivate in other contexts.
Yes, see above re "honesty" button.

Some very talented writers

in the forum, 80% more insightful and articulate than can be found elsewhere
 
The self importance by many here keeps me humble.

As Angron said, our skulls wait beneath our skin. We are all worm food. Like ASSTR died, this site will die one day too, and all your memories will be lost, like tears in the rain.

FUCK, I am furious right now.

You have also told us, in another thread, that you are drunk at the moment.
 
Unlike the majority of the people who post in the AH, I'm a poet and so grateful to be accepted by everyone with all my (word) quirks. I look forward to exchanging more ideas and insights in 2026.

EDIT
Words flare quick, like popcorn in my brain.
Kernels go flying, sparkling through the chain.
Silence hovers, waiting to contain.
My mind keeps buzzing, alive, unrestrained.

That is correct. And after listening to the excellent rendition of Blanket by Jeff Beck and Imogen Heap, I am completely cured.


I would like to apologize to everyone for my outburst. I am just a hollow man, a number like all of you.

You matter. Your writings matter. We are all ashes and worm food but what you do here matters.

I love you all and I shall masturbate to all of you tonight.

Lots of love and thank you all so much for being you. The world would be a worse place without you.
 
Fashionably late to the party.

The best thing about Literotica is the effortless way I can reach an audience.

The best thing about the forums is that it's allowed me to "meet" and talk to some truly remarkable and inspirational people, without whom my life would be a great deal less amusing.

I love all of you

Make that almost all of you.

I will try my best, but a man has needs...
