I was reading the rules and thought this sentence, regarding the use of web cams, still left some room for abuse: "You should only display yourself, if you have someone else on the cam they must be aware, employees or co-workers are not allowed to appear on cam."
Being aware doesn't mean that one consents. Perhaps it can be made more explicit that consent is needed.

Also, on multiple occasions these rules refer to other places on the site, like the AUP, home of the mods, help center, etc. Perhaps these can be linked to make it easier for users to find the pages referred to.

And if I'm correct (big if!) there are some errors errors regarding possessive nouns.

Thank you for the feedback! I will do a post tomorrow linking these forums apologies for the delay in responding, I'm not sure how I missed this!

All,

I would like to have an honest and respectful conversation regarding the allowable male content in the 'Softcore' room. There have been disagreements and conversations with moderators recently that have indicated that the rules state that any photo with any inclusion of a penis is inclusice of genitalia and therefore is disallowed in the the room.

I would refer to the opening description of the room:

"Welcome to the Softcore Chatroom! A room for those members who wish to enjoy a more erotic and sensual experience. No hardcore/explicit images please and that includes oral sex, penetration, genitalia (explicit/close up), bodily fluids, masturbation and BDSM. Please ask before sending private message requests. Lush rules apply. Be legal, be lovely, be kind."

For most of us who participate in this room, it is a respite from the hard core images in the "Eye Candy" room. So, we very much appreciate the forum and the ability for a more relaxed and sensual experience. So, thank you for this room.

However, I would like to have a larger discussion about the appropriate content for the room. Many moderators define the content requirements as being quote. "a penis is a genital, therefore it is not allowed to be shown, whatsoever, in this room".

This definition means that my completely naked body on the beach is totally acceptable... but a photo of me naked on the beach standing next to my husband (totally flacid) is forbidden. Many of the users of the softcore room are nudists and do not see the naked male as porn or genitalia as described in the description of the room.

I personally, would like to show a nudist photo of my husband in the room, just as my completely naked photos have been displayed. it is not sexual.. it is just naked people and, in my mind, completely in line with the term "softcore"

I am asking for the community of users to be included in the allowable content of the room and respectfully ask for a forum that we can discuss what should, or should not be allowable content.

Thank you for listening. I appreciate the new nature of the forums but would like to be involved in the definitions of acceptable content as a long time user.

Thank you

Jean

Morning Jean!

We've had some discussions, and we agree that we'd like to update the description of the room and what's acceptable within it. So from today's date, 31/12/2021, the room description is planned to be as follows:

Welcome to the Softcore Chatroom! A room for those members who wish to enjoy a more sensual visual experience. Nothing hardcore please and that includes oral sex, penetration, bodily fluids and masturbation. Lush rules apply. Be legal, be lovely, be kind.

This should allow for sensual penis pics. Woo!

Thank you for this Harley. It is very much appreciated and appropriate. Thanks again!

This new description will make thins room just like every other room. The initial description did not allow genitalia at all. It was black and white, either you could see pussy (or cock) or you couldn't. With that part of the description gone, it now becomes totally subjective. It is the first step down a slippery slope. Great job, Lush! One more step backward.

Genitalia meant no cock pics. Now cock pics are allowed w/out the image depicting oral sex, penetration, fluids or masturbation. Hardcore pics are still not allowed. Which part of these very well described set of rules don't you comprehend?

Female genitalia isn't out in the open like a pair of balls and cock. You do know the definition of genitalia?

The genitalia include internal and external structures.

The female internal genitalia are the ovaries, Fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, and vagina.

The male external genitalia are the penis and scrotum.

This is not dissimilar to standards on TV. Full frontal pics of women are allowed as long as none of the actual vagina can be seen, but since men's genitalia is external, it is not permitted, at least on American regular TV. Like it or not, flaccid or erect, a penis is sexual, not sensual. And with the new rule change, the whole issue becomes a very grey area, subject to each individual's interpretation of what is sensual. Sad that we can't have a single room out of so many where we don't have to see a women's wide open pussy or a cock, when there are so many other rooms where those pics can be displayed. Perhaps a "nudist" room allowing sensual nudes (with other rules intact... i.e. no bodily fluids or sex of any kind) would have been a better option.

Edit to address a change in your initial asnswer: Interesting how you edited your answer, but left out the part of the definition of the external female genitalia. Both sexes have internal and external genitalia, just that men's is more obvious. And in some cases, a woman can have prominent lips or even a clit that is visible in a front shot, especially if the legs are not completely closed. As my original post displayed, here is the full definition.

Genitalia: The male or female reproductive organs. The genitalia include internal and external structures. The female internal genitalia are the ovaries, Fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, and vagina. The female external genitalia are the labia minora and majora (the vulva) and the clitoris. The male internal genitalia are the testes, epididymis, and vas deferens. The male external genitalia are the penis and scrotum. Which part of that definition is unclear?

You must have been waiting on this thread and kept refreshing to see who would reply to your comment or you've ticked the "watch" option.

Ta-da, then I replied.

I added the definition of genitalia seeing as you clearly didn't understand after Mods have spoken about this w/ you many times. I think you owe us a fee by now because of all the back and forth.

I typed out what you previously read. I only chose to give you a free lesson of the human body. Female genitalia has always been allowed, in the more sensual manner. It'll be completely different if female purposely showed her clit by using her hand to part the lips. Females have different looking lips and clits*¹. Some are exposed and others hidden. You can search for pics using your favorite search engine.

Is that clear?

You are more than welcome to create your own room and Mod it w/ those specific rules but just don't try to Mod users on existing lush rooms.

OK, I'm logging off to fully party.

So if you edit post, I'll miss original message but then, I couldn't careless so edit to you hearts content.
