Interesting concept. Adult stories are definitely a lucrative market. I believe literotica is one of the largest websites in the world by traffic (I believe in the top 50), but they don't really have much competition.

I do wonder what the monetization opportunities are here. Advertising might not be a good option since not a lot of brands advertise on adult sites - so you're left with scammy or predatory ads.

Do you guys have a plan for the long term monetization yet?

The privacy policy contains "If you are younger than 18, please do not use the Services", the terms of service "YOU MUST BE 18 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER AND RESIDE IN THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OF ITS TERRITORIES TO USE THE SERVICES." Wouldn't such a disclaimer need to be on the homepage as well?

This is awesome! My only question: The Tell and Hear panels both have appealing designs, but the Read panel looks totally sad and hidden. No need to push people from Read, it's a great section!

For anyone not able to view the site (NSFW):

It's a place to share and vote on adult stories, only text/audio.

This is an interesting idea, and seems to have a large community that's engaged.

Why is there a ten second timer to load a page? The industry standard is two seconds, any longer is too slow and will lose visitors.

What is the timer for? To close the tab if you miss clicked and don’t want to see NSFW stuff?
