How do I close my Literotica account?

You have every right to remove yourself from the site at any time for any reason. If possible, we’d appreciate knowing the reason(s) for your decision. We strive to improve Literotica every day, and your feedback helps us improve things that may need improving.

If you’re a published Literotica Author planning to remove your account, consider archiving your stories before leaving the site so that your readers can continue to enjoy your work in the future.

As a security measure to make sure that only the owner of an account can delete it, you must log in to your profile to remove your account.

Once logged in, please do the following:

• Click “New Story” in the top header menu.
• Choose “New Story”.
• In the story title field, enter this text exactly “REMOVE MEMBERSHIP”.
• Choose any category (it doesn’t matter - this will not be posted publicly).
• In the “Story Text” field, request that your membership be terminated.
• Submit the story by clicking the “Preview&Publish” button at the bottom of the edit story page, and then click the “Submit for Publication” button on the story preview page. You should see a confirmation that the story was sent to the moderator for review.

All story, audio, poem, and art submissions you have on the site will be removed with your account. Be aware that we do not retain site submission data - including votes, comments, and the story text or files - for deleted accounts. Once an account is deleted from our servers, we cannot restore the account or any related data. Please backup all of your data before requesting an account removal.

Per our Forum Rules, we do not remove forum posts except in extreme circumstances. However, if you request to have your Literotica account closed, we may delete all of your posts and messages on the forum. If you have questions about forum post removal, please ask those questions of support before you request that your account be removed. If your account and forum posts are deleted, they cannot be restored. Please backup any forum posts or messages you want to save before requesting an account removal.

Account cancellations are usually completed within 2-4 days.
