Too many AdultFriendFinder users aren't getting the full AFF experience. Why fall back on the more conventional dating site aspects of AFF when it's anything but? Sure, you can create a profile, browse the singles, enjoy a few nudes, and even look at a webcam feed. But the real meat of AFF isn't the singles interactions. Oh no. The best action lies in the deeper crevices of the AFF community, which is spread over forums, monthly events, blogs, dedicated kink groups, and, one of our favorites, the Sex Stories section.

These stories are written and posted by other users. You can just read the stories casually — perhaps they'll even get you in the mood for some solo play — but the on-site culture encourages interaction. In fact, many AFF connections have been made by users coming together (ahem) over a mutual love of erotic fiction. 

If you want to know more, we've put together a quick guide on how to use the AAF literotica section. This will help you not only vet your next sexting partner but also initiate the conversation. It's worth noting, though, that while you absolutely can enjoy aspects of the Sex Stories section through a free AFF membership, you'll get the most out of it with a paid subscription — it's the best way to turn your love of spicy stories into a one-on-one connection.

Read the stories and find what resonates with you

AFF's Sex Stories section boasts more than a dozen distinct categories or genres, ranging from "first time" experiences to group sex scenes, fetish exploration, and even stories with fantasy or sci-fi elements. The more creative writers even try their hand at erotic novels and poetry, and since a lot of effort has been put into these creations, the least you can do is read the stories in full and save those you like.

While even free users can save individual stories, only paid members can follow story writers, but if you discover that one particular author keeps catching your interest, following their work is a good way to indicate your interest. 

Leave a comment

What author doesn't appreciate positive feedback? If a story resonates with you, you can interact with it in one of two ways: by leaving a comment or by using the like button to indicate your approval. Because of the site's laidback culture, it's completely common for authors to respond to comments, so put some thought into what you say, shouting out specific aspects of the story or how it was written. Many a private sexting conversation began in the public comment section of an AFF story.

While free AFF users are able to both comment and like stories, paid members unlock even greater emoji reactions, including more salacious and flirty reactions, which help you take your flirting game up a notch. 

Consider writing your own story

If you're having trouble getting storywriters to respond to you or if you just can't find a piece that really resonates with your needs, it might be time to take up the (digital) pen yourself. If you have a way with words, you can accrue a large following on the site, and even earn badges for your heightened on-site participation.

Best of all, by becoming the writer rather than the reader, you'll put yourself in the position of being able to select which comments (and therefore which commentators) catch your attention. 

Use the #tags feature

While every story has to be placed in a specific category, each story can also contain multiple tags, which are much more varied and specific than the story categories. Current "top tags" include #feet, #sub, #teasing, and #watching, for example.

If you're looking for a particular type of sexting conversation or if you have very specific turn-ons, the tag feature is the fastest way to find a like-minded person to explore with in a private conversation.
