SoL has 39,820 stories - as best as I can tell they break up as:
No Sex = 4,043
Minimal Sex = 2,168
Some Sex = 8,856
Much Sex = 21,546
Stroke = 3,207

I suspect, if you broke the stories down by date, you'd discover that your distribution reflects, in part, an older age of SOL. I think you'll find more "no sex" and "some sex" stories more recently, though there's always a steady demand for "stroke" stories.

In short, there's plenty of room for everyone. Good stories are good stories, whether the plots revolve around, or include, sex or not. That said, as we all know, sex sells, and adding sex adds a sense of both realism and romance that many stories would miss otherwise.

There was, a few years ago, an effort by Lazeez to curb or eliminate pedophilia.

I'm not completely on board with the 14-year-old rule. I argued for the medical definition of pedo (adult/pre-adolescent). Hell I still have a story I can't post, and then there is Anita... Having that character wait until she is 14 is beyond me.

My point, (other than still trying to get my way there) is that once the pedo was cleared out, it most likely took away that crowd and those authors. That would result in an average lower sex content.

I mean a story about pedophilia without sex isn't. (Yeah, think a second)

Lolita

Doesn't Humbert Humbert have sex with Lolita?

There was, a few years ago, an effort by Lazeez to curb or eliminate pedophilia.

Sorry, but the choice was never Lazeez's. Instead, the Canadian Parliament passed a restrictive law (similar to Australia's from the same time) restricting publishing/posting 'pedophilia stories' (despite all evidence that such stories reduce the incident of pedophilia, as it allows those afflicted with it a legal, safe and moral alternative). In fact, he undertook a major risk, lowering the limit he's allow to 14 (instead of 16, as the law stipulates).

Sorry, but the choice was never Lazeez's

Oh no, we debated it at length. Hell I even remember going to the Canadian Government website and reading about it. It wasn't a law, but a court decision. It wasn't pedo at all, but any underage sex. In any event if Laz had been afraid of it he would have Literoticized the whole site. (My verb for forcing authors that modify their stories to pretend the characters they are talking about are 18). Heck even the fact that, at the time, the servers were in the US (VA I think) came into the discussion.

Someone named God of Porn was posting several short pedo pieces a day for a while there and simply flooding the site with really useless stuff. Well I assume, I couldn't bring myself to read any of it.

I'm pretty sure it was more for the health of SOL and trying to keep it as an erotica site and not getting a reputation as a pedo site.

So until I work out a more secure method of contact, please use the 'old' and relatively secure methods, but be sure to include a story title or other clue to content on the subject line of your message. Emails with no subject listed are never read, instead they are automatically registered as spam, shipped to the spam bin, then are deleted on a regular basis! (If all else fails, the old yahoo group still works - most of the time!)

But provides no detail on what the old secure way may be. Thus unless you have contact info from way back when, no contact is possible.

The hero is named Davey and he plays Baseball. Lets not use the initials of Baseball Davey, Spitfire and Messerschmitt. I want to keep being able to log on her site.

"Baseball Davey" is a bit of a stretch just to make a humorous point. Besides, "Spitfire & Messerschmitt" (I always prefer the ampersand in the title) is a terrific name for a story, it's so descriptive even without knowing anything about the story, so why muck it up?

Should the universal villain be named Gates?

How about 'Congress?'

Need to ask Aroslav, He is the one at the Exxxotica expo this weekend. Maybe he can conduct a poll and tell us.

Damn! That sounds like the making of a great SOL story. Talk about doing your research!

If you gathered 535 porn stars in one place, would that be Sexual Congress?

wouldn't that depend on their genders and proclivity.

However, 144 mi
9xed bi-sexual porn stars in one place would result in a gross fucking.

typo edit.

I don't have any problem picking on the French

The French have threatened to disrupt UK airspace in response to Brexit. When Theresa May suggested collaboration on security information might be one of the UK's bargaining chips, the French threw a hissy fit.

I welcome the portrayal of the French as villains - they thoroughly deserve it.

AJ

With our 'special relationship' and intelligence-sharing with the US, and GCHQ, the UK punches well above its weight in the amount of anti-terrorist information it shares with the rest of the EU.

If the EU tries to fight dirty in other fields, why shouldn't the UK use all its bargaining chips in response?

The number of people who feel the UK should negotiate with one or both hands tied behind its back is scary. For example, a lot of 'luvvies' complain that the UK should unilaterally guarantee the rights of EU citizens currently in the UK, whereas the EU's position is that the rights of UK citizens currently in the EU is not guaranteed and up for negotiation.

In an ideal world, the UK would continue to share security information with the EU. And the French wouldn't threaten to disrupt the UK's airspace.

AJ

Its citizens will die.

Unlikely. Most of the intelligence comes from us, so we wouldn't miss out.

AJ

Its citizens will die.

But I would grant you any French threat to disrupt the UK's airspace ranks right up there with your PM's comment in the Politicians' Hall of Shame.

No, in the first, it's citizens will die. In the second, it's an act of war! Both are completely irresponsible and dunder-headed.

Same between Mexico and the U.S. Everyone thinks Americans are black-hearted and racists because they want to have a say as to who is in our country (like EVERY other country in the world). Mexico expects the U.S. to welcome people coming here illegally, but they wouldn't tolerate a U.S. citizen illegally living in their country. The only reason it's not a big deal for them is because they don't see hordes of Americans flocking to their country illegally.

Have you noticed the news stories cropping up about illegal aliens now crossing the border into Canada, and the number of complaints that are now coming up because of it?

Oh, and those stories are from papers in England ... since that's pretty much the only place to get unbiased news about the Americas anymore.

You don't hear that here. Interesting.

You don't hear that here. Interesting.

I've heard them, but I seriously doubt whether the number of complaints or violations is anywhere near what we face. Also, Britain reports those stories because their primary reason for Brexit are all the non-European foreign nationals entering their country.

Scrub the 'non-European'. The last General Election and the referendum were largely decided on the issue of immigration. The country is overpopulated, our infrastructure can't cope and we're concreting over the countryside for housing. We don't want to be the EU's equivalent of Hong Kong.

I visited my town centre this morning. English is now a minority language.

AJ

There are quite a few ghettoes like that.

A ghetto implies monoculture. On the contrary, there was a multitude of languages being spoken from Eastern European, the Middle East and the Indian Subcontinent.

Not true, in virtually every instance, they agree that we have every right to control our boarders (since they've been utterly unable to control theirs), and most of their illegal immigrants are heading for the U.S., not helping their economy. However, one of the biggest factors in their economy are illegal U.S. immigrants who send money back home, so now they don't want to piss that sizable contingent off.

I welcome the portrayal of the French as villains - they thoroughly deserve it.

I believe John Ringo has said it best in many of his works. French soldiers are very good. French leaders are the absolute worst. If you think the situation is completely FUBAR and it possibly can't get worse - leave it to the French. They'll manage to do so.

Brexit Fries, anyone?

You're on her hit list for sure after disclosing the secret plot.

No, actually it goes back in time well before that. Keep in mind that France has a long and glorious history of empire building and being in the middle of wars, dating back to the begining of recorded western history. (The Gauls have been a fighting bunch.)

Just prior to WWI, they had the Franco-Prussian war in the early 1870's, the Franco-Austrian War in 1859, which covers the time frame of the ACW. The big difference is that the ACW was not the US against someone else, it was literally brother against brother.

Also, the US was not the big fish in the pond then that we are now. We truly did not know if we'd be victorious against the Spanish. They were a larger enemy to us at the time.

And contrary to British jingoism, Napoleon beat Wellington at Waterloo. But he was undone by the untimely intervention of Blucher.

But the French record has been poor since WWII. While they might support UN and NATO actions, they supply a minimal quantity of troops etc and quickly withdraw them at the slightest excuse. Hence Bush's term of endearment ;)

AJ

All this about the French seems to be about their behaviour during WW2.

Many, many years ago I had a cartoon of airplanes from different countries. I wish I still had it. It was hilarious.

The front of the Russian plane was bent downward because the plans got folded and no one was willing to tell their superiors afraid they'd be executed.

The Italian plane had two cockpits rather than a cockpit and a tail so they could change sides in the middle of the war (WW2).

Every country was funny.

Did the Aussie one have a big crank handle to help re-wind the giant rubber band used to power the propeller?

If it did, hopefully it was in the tail section so it could be rewound while inflight. :)
