ENTITY shares 5 fun facts about Literotica, the original website for literotica stories.

If you’ve ever spent time looking for the best erotic literature or literotic stories online, you know that there are countless literotica websites. However, one often stands above the rest: Literotica, one of the original websites for literotica romance.

Why is Literotica still extremely popular today? And what kind of literotica stories does this website offer? Here are five fun facts you should know about Literotica!

1 Literotica was founded in 1998 and strives to stimulate the mind.

How did Literotica even start? According to its About Page, this source of literotica stories first went live in 1998. Its founders are Laurel and Manu, who still run the site today. Why did they create this literotic website? They say: “We both enjoy erotic fiction, and realized that even with the abundance of picture sites on the web, there was a shortage of quality story sites. We have always believed that the mind is the greatest sex organ, and that a well-told sexy tale can be more of a turn-on than the most explicit photo.”

Furthermore, the founders explain, “The more people we talked to, the more we believed that Literotica.com needed to exist. This site was created as a means to bring together those who enjoy reading original erotic fiction and those who like to write it.” The phrase “for the people and by the people” has never been so, well, sexy!

2 It accepts submissions…so all erotica writers are welcome!

As hinted at above, Literotica accepts submissions from people all over the world. You don’t have to be a big-time writer, either. You just have to be over age 18 and write a quality erotic story over 750 words. Unlike other websites, Literotica doesn’t accept writing that features characters who are under 18 years old in sexual situations.

Not a writer? You can still get involved as a volunteer editor. As such, you just work with literotic authors to help improve their writing. How cool is that?

3 It offers more than just erotic literature.

Despite its name, Literotica offers more than just literotica stories. For instance, you can find erotica poems, pictures and cartoons. You can even listen to stories streamed in Real Audio or chat with other readers on the discussion boards. If that isn’t enough, Literotica offers a toy and video store. As one reviewer explains: “A visit to Literotica.com is like a visit to the candy store; there’s so many yummy things to choose from it’s hard not to drool.”

4 Literotica stories can help break gender stereotypes.

Choosing to read erotic literature will always be a personal decision. However, if you’re worried that literotica isn’t feminist, don’t be. Erotic websites like Literotica offer so any different varieties of literotica stories – from “erotic couplings” to BDSM to “first time” – you’re likely to find something that fits what you’re looking for.

Even more interesting, some Literotica fans believe the website helps break down sexual stereotypes and gender roles. As one Reddit user revealed, “Since men and women write and read most of the categories, [Literotica] dispels the notion that women or men only like certain things.” Steamy and gender-stereotype free? What more could a woman want?

5 Literotica isn’t done with its work yet…

Already, Literotica offers a variety of reading material and other erotic content. It even hosts contests where writers of the best literotica stories can wish cash prizes. However, Laurel and Manu still have plenty of plans for Literotica. “In addition to building the largest library of 100% original erotic stories on the web,” they say, “we plan to…[publish] a print edition of some of the best stories and poems on the site, [add] a personals section, [have] more contests with prizes for the winners, and [let] users build their own home pages right here on our server.”
