A Wonderful Collection of Erotic Tales! The oldest type of smut known to humans is erotic literature. Prior to the invention of pornography, it was pornography. Epic erotic poetry served as the main means for individuals to indulge in fapping during the ancient Greek era. Well, naturally, in between participating in gay butt intercourse with one another (look it up; it was a very frequent practice in ancient Greece).
However, erotic literature has endured over the centuries and remains a well-liked kind of filth, even in our modern society. That's true; believe it or not, even with millions of videos of the most attractive women in the world being filmed in every way imaginable. Despite the fact that it is now available at our fingertips with only a mouse click, some individuals still choose to read their porn.
And I have to admit, I respect their commitment to literature. I mean, I make a living as an author, and I don't even use erotic literature to turn myself on. However, I would wager that the bulk of readers of erotic literature are gay or female. Without any visual assistance, I can't picture heterosexual males masturbating to flowery language. I'm at a loss for words. Admittedly, we are a group of uncouth pigs.
However, I can certainly understand the attraction to erotic literature. Real excellent writing has a seductive element to it. I've even read novels and tales that have given me a hard-on in the past (which I, of course, immediately put down and opened up Porn). Hub and masturbated myself to completion. However, I'm not sure if you can have an orgasm by reading. I simply cannot picture myself doing it. However, hey, I'm open-minded, so maybe I'll give it a go sometime.
For literarily inclined, sapiosexual, sexually active people, there are hundreds of sites and materials to pick from. A lot of which have a community-oriented, forum-like atmosphere. Many of which let users post and share their own content. But only a few of them have been around as long as Nifty. org. Additionally, few people (if any) have earned the same degree of academic attention or respect.
Productivity, Community, Longevity
Since 1992, Nifty has been an archive of sensual tales. I'm not sure if it's just me, but is that really crazy? I didn't realize that there were any websites at all in 1992, let alone adult ones. According to the homepage banner of the website, the archive is also "over 264,000 stories by more than 15,000 authors. " That's a lot of erotic fiction. The finest aspect is that... It is completely free.
The website is really well designed for a site for erotic literature, and it is also enormous. It's hard to say what it is, but it seems like the designers of sensual lit websites have a lot of difficulty creating a beautiful, user-friendly, and fun online experience. So many similar sites I've visited have been aesthetically horrible and difficult to use. However, I don't dislike Nifty's approach.
I mean, is there anything better? Absolutely. However, it's by no means the worst erotic literature site design I've ever seen. Granted, the wallpaper-style backdrop and blue hyperlinked text are a bit old, but overall it's not bad.
Just below the banner on the homepage, you will see four boxes, each of which has selected new articles broken up into them. segments based on sexual orientation and identity: Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender. I support equal representation of sexual orientations and all that, but is there any heterosexual material in Nifty? We'll have to wait and see, I suppose.
An easy-click button to "Publish a Story" is located below these highlighted articles. With Nifty, people may easily and rapidly distribute their work. Arts community websites like this one, which make an effort to promote engagement, are always valued. As it should be, it's not at all snobby, elite, or exclusive.
Below the simple publishing button is a list of recent Nifty announcements (news about the site, new publications, etc. ) and a place to contribute. A list of recent donors, and it's nice. The site is entirely supported by user contributions, and it would seem that they have a very engaged and enthusiastic user base to support them.
After reviewing Nifty's announcements, it appears that they also host actual fundraising events in addition to accepting donations straight via the website. In other words, if you're seeking for a group of people who share your passion for erotic literature, Nifty can be exactly what you're looking for.
There are, however, additional ways for users to help Nifty besides donating and taking part in fundraising events. You'll also see a button labelled "Shop" in the top of the menu bar. You can purchase Nifty gear like t-shirts, hoodies, polos, coffee cups, tote bags, and even underwear by clicking here to visit the Nifty's Café Press website. Perhaps a Nifty t-shirt is all you need if you're a proud author of erotic fiction.
The site's menu bar also includes links to "Archives" (dropdown: Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Information, Best of Nifty, Journal Entries, and a few other items). featured authors), a search field, New Stories, Authors, and Donate. It's odd that Nifty has a special section for articles on s*xing dogs or whatever, but I haven't yet found any heterosexual erotica to read. I suppose the straight, white male writer is finally dead for good.
The fact that Nifty is totally ad-free is something I really appreciate. I believe that the donation model is an excellent approach for a site like this to adopt, and I am thrilled to see Nifty making the most of it. I despise commercials, particularly when they are unnecessary, so I commend the folks at Nifty for coming up with a different way to maintain the site. operational for all these years.
Nifty, would you please update your reader?
However, one thing about Nifty that I detest—to change the subject for a moment—is the way the stories are actually formatted. I'm sure I went on a bit earlier about how much better Nifty's site design is compared to other erotica sites that are focused on the community. However, after seeing their real tale presentation, I'm tempted to retract that applause.
It's terrible. It seems that someone just clicked "publish" after copying and pasting a . txt file. The formatting is not at all consistent. It's dull. There are no pages. From a site design standpoint, if you ask me, it's simply sloppy and, frankly, a little lazy. However, this is the norm for websites devoted to erotic literature. The erotica, which is the central focus of these websites, is something I'm not sure why the developers and moderators can't give more consideration.
Isn't the notion of an enjoyable reading experience valued by anyone? Why do all of these websites simply call it a day after displaying simple text on a white backdrop? When I see this kind of garbage, I can't help but wonder why there are so many superior methods of text presentation. It appears to be hurried, unprofessional, and inexpensive. I urge the residents of Nifty to use some of the donation money to create a decent e-reader component for the website. It doesn't even have to be anything special, just anything besides text that appears to be arranged at random on a white page!
The site is decent overall, but a few improvements would be beneficial.
However, I generally approve of what Nifty is doing. A strong forum for writers of erotic literature to display their work (especially those from underrepresented groups), a wealth of reading content, and a vibrant, involved community of writers and readers. Nifty is likely not the place for you if you're seeking for heterosexual smut. But then again, for you, almost any other place on the web is, so get over it, snowflake.
I would like to see Nifty invest in a higher-quality reader. Giving authors a means of receiving feedback, such as a comment section on their articles, would be fantastic as well, in my opinion. Being able to read input from readers of our genre is priceless because we writers are always striving to get better. In general, I would simply want to see more work done on the website's improvement and upkeep, as well as a true embrace of that active community with a greater number of interactive elements.
Overall, though, you are unlikely to ever run out of reading material on Nifty. You can become really excited and agitated by its massive collection of erotic literature. Therefore, you filthy perverts, relax, unzip, and take pleasure!
