Overview

Whether you fancy yourself as an author of erotica, or whether you just like to read sexy stories, you can do both for free at Literotica. This site has been in existence for years and it is the most popular place for budding authors to come and share their work. Since it began many years ago, it has expanded, and now has thousands of stories in hundreds of categories, from vanilla love tales to hardcore BDSM fantasies, with very little not allowed. You can find stories of taboo sex as well as simple ‘fall in love and sex’ stories. The quality of the writing varies, but is usually pretty good, and Literotica has expanded to take in artwork, poems and chat, giving you hook-up chances with your sexy reading.

Features

The main thrust of Literotica is the erotic literature. Some call these porn stories; porn without the pictures if you like, but there’s more to the free site than that. The home page lists a few basic features: Stories and pics, Toys and videos (there are links to shops, chat pages, forums and other adult entertainment resources), personals, video on demand and other sexy places of interest. However, some of these are up-sells, but at the heart of the site remains the writing. So, you will find thousands of stories, you can register and submit your own (and it’s a simple process), and there are competitions with cash prizes held every month, so you can make money from Literotica. The site is also available in a variety of languages.

Content & Updates

What brings thousands of readers to the site are the sex stories, and there are plenty of them. Once you've clicked the link to the stories and pics, you find a second menu that goes into a little more detail. These first few pages look very old fashioned, I would say almost amateur, but things improve when you chose a category or a story. You can also check out your favourite author and see the submissions in sections such as gay, straight, fetish, and BDSM. Literotica is not limited to stories as it also houses essays, collaborative wringing, ‘chain stories’ and interactive ones, plus, there are audio stories and poems, erotic poetry of all kinds, comics and artwork, and now, there is also a daily Adult Headline News feed. You have all kinds of everything here. Not so much hardcore porn pics or videos, but certainly imagination fuel with a massive collection of adult reading.

Our Verdict

Literotica has grown since 2001 and now houses thousands of sexy adult stories in various categories from vanilla sex to taboo sex and heavy BDSM. Anyone can register for free and submit their written work, and anyone can log in and read the stories, articles and poems. In fact, you can do that without having to register, but even when you do, this site costs you nothing to get off with hot sex stories. Okay, so some of the initial pages could do with being tidied up, but the stories are well set-out, easy to find and read, and there are many neat features such as translations, hook-up boards and competitions with cash prizes. Mainly, though, Literotica serves the adult reader with sex stories and well-written word porn.
