What is "My Options" in the Control Panel?

My Options is a page in the Literotica Member Control Panel where you can update your member profile, user avatar, and site options.

There are two sections to the Options page:

My Profile

My Profile - the place to let other Literotica users know more about you. All fields are optional, and all responses will be publicly viewable on your profile, unless otherwise specified. The following fields may be updated:

  • Member Avatar/Photo - click on the smaller image at the top of the page to upload a new Member Avatar.
