What about a first hand review!

"Sexting Strangers - A Nice Surprise" is a 1000 word story now on Literotica. How I was looking for one thing, but found a nice community of people I like to spend time with as well.

Yoyo, you inspired me and I have to be inspired to write myself. So, a bit on my feelings about LewdChat and what it brings out in some.

Ode to LewdChat
It's with a certain attitude
I ponder all things chat and lewd
A place for all, some rude or crude
Self conscious or excited nude
Some come with social aptitude
Yet more to break their solitude
Where one can share a their happy mood
Or get ideas on their next food
So if one's in a pensive mood
Or feeling down or starts to brood
Come share a song or quietude
All are welcome, none exclude
Find common kinks that may elude
Most seekers; then show gratitude
Here is a place to find one's groove
Relax, chill chat, or feed your lewd

I thought it might be helpful to use this as a place to collect information from online sexting blogs or articles. A surprising number of newspapers offer tips as well as the results of studies on the practice.

Sexting is here so let's understand the advantages and what makes it work!

Your Guide to Safer Sexting link text

If you're going to sext, you should know how to do it safely and responsibly. Our sexting tips can help you protect your privacy and your relationships.

@issac696 Well of course. The more often one returns and if you use the same nickname, the more familiar you become. When people get used to seeing you regularly, they tend to relax more around you. Just the presence online helps build that. There are actually studies that show being in a location with someone, not even speaking, tends to create a loose relationship.

Sexting with strangers is relatively safe and surprisingly fun.

Earlier today, someone mentioned that talking to strangers is just easier to do. That they have spent hours in here talking about random subjects. I guess we get more uptight trying to talk about somethings with people we have to see repeatedly in real life. But opening up to a stranger can be liberating and illuminating.

Someone I was talking too admitted the same "In the real world I wouldn’t attempt to speak to more than half of the people here, but when I’m here, I feel like I can express better through my fingertips then with my own self which is weird to think about."

A 30+ newcomer gave me a quote about his impression of LewdChat:

"This is such a great concept. The openness, a real feeling of community and that people really do get to know each other..."

@CollinMartins Many exchange their pics in private messages here. There's no need to leave for another social platform.

@somejackedguy There's no need to leave lewdchat to sext. There are multiple rooms and you have private messages also.

Sep 23 Bisexualality Day
This is part of the Bisexual Awareness Week celebrations in September to remind people of the history & struggles faced by the community.

First organized in 1999, the founders were worried about the various experiences of marginalization & discrimination from both straight & LGBTQ communities. The day is an effort to teach us that every person is deserving of love & respect, no matter how different they may seem.

Sep 04 Sexual Health Day & International Fetish Day

@Hotrod1970 said in L&L Stories:

These little stores are great..They are very well written in the way that even though there's only a single page everything is there as far as the structure of a short story..

Glad you like them. There are lots in the chatrooms that write stories here and on other sides, but yea, stories have been really great. Hope we'll see you inside.

@Skyshark said in Thoughts about a channel for paid services:

I don't think the number of concurrent users on the site is large enough to support a channel like this. Good advertising should reach as many people as possible, but our most popular channel, #lewd, tends to hover around 160 users. That's not many potential clients. It's a solid concept, but in my opinion, not feasible for LC specifically.

Fair point. But I think the site has been seeing some spikes and eventually, there will be more to support. Thanks so much for the reply.

Aug 23 Go Topless Day

International Go Topless Day is an annual event held in the United States and Canada to support the right of women to go topless in public on gender-equality grounds.

Go Topless Day is scheduled for the Sunday nearest August 26, Women's Equality Day, since on that day in 1920 women's suffrage was approved (in 1971 the U.S. Congress declared the day to be Women's Equality Day). The event encourages women to go topless in public, and men to cover their chests by wearing brassieres or bikinis.

Aug 13 International Swingers Day

Founded in 2003, International Swingers Day was originally started as a grass-roots celebration among local swingers to honor the Lifestyle. In 2004, ISD was covered byLifeStyle Magazine, the industry's only periodical. Since then, it has grown and evolved into an international swinger holiday composed of numerous parties and a multi-day industry convention

@casey I’m not sure. Recently I’ve been craving physical touch a lot. And I happen to have a lot of kinks. I keep fantasising all those dirty scenarios. I think I’m a freak.

Everyone goes through phases of fantasizing. If you look at some of the research, though, you would be surprised at how many people share some common fantasies. There's no reason to assume you are a freak, just do a bit of research online and you may be surprised how many others share the same fantasies.

At this point…ANY WOMAN WHO WANTS TO TALK ABOUT ANYTHING! There is no one here. I heard this was fun but…

This is the forum. Most of the fun happens in the main lewdchat.com channel. Follow that link when you get back in

• International Fetish Day
  International Fetish Day is a day supporting the BDSM community. It originated in the UK as "National Fetish Day" and was first held on 21 January 2008. The main purpose is to increase awareness and support of the fetish community, whilst also opposing the UK law criminalizing possession of "extreme pornography".It is also designed to encourage members of the community to be more open about their sexuality.

  One of the main aspects is that members of the community wear an item of purple clothing as a sign that they are a member, in an event known as "Perverts Wear Purple".

• World Sexual Health Day (WSHD**) has been celebrated in 60 countries with a wide range of activities from round tables of discussion to conferences and art exhibitions.
