I'm all for people having a multiple choice of options. That's one of the great things about this site. Choice.

There are guys who really go for larger women. That's what floats their boat, gets them excited. I've known guys that wanted their women so skinny they looked horribly anorexic. Everyone has something they prefer.
In the case of Sports Illustrated, they are selling a product and going for mass appeal. If they want to toss in a token to try and appeal to more of a fetish group, then that's their marketing decision. Would it screw up their formula that works? Maybe, maybe not.
Also, please people, check your poem or story over really good before you do your final submit. Some people don't even look at it.
Depending upon what software you are using or the OS you're on, sometimes line spacing and line breaks can go all wrong. If we verifiers get that we don't know what to do with it. We just see that its messed up and we'll probably reject it, sending it back to you. Remember, YOU are supposed to look it over and make sure it is right.
If you see a spacing and line break problem and after trying your best to fix it, you still have a problem, please notify someone on the verifying team. We'll let you know what you should do.
The reality is that when I pay for my Sports Illustrated subscription I'm paying to read about sports. I get an issue every week. But I do look forward to and enjoy the annual Swimsuit Edition. That edition is also Sports Illustrated's biggest off the rack seller. If they changed their format from using super fit bikini models their sales would drop. I'd be much less interested in getting the Swimsuit Edition and in fact might consider it a waste and would rather just have another regular sports edition.
If we're dishing out money we want to see the best of the best, the most gorgeous and the most fit. We can see attractive overweight women at the beach for free any day we go there. They are everywhere, but super fit super models? They aren't so readily available.
This is not mean, its just the truth and reality.
Would women pay to go see all male dance revues, like the movie 'Magic Mike', if they are featuring beer gutted, hairy, bald headed dudes that have a cute face? I seriously doubt it.
Just like the pictures we post on each other's walls here on Lush. We pretty much only post pictures of super fit gorgeous sexy people, scantily clad or nothing at all, of course.
Several body types can exist within being physically fit. I played football for 13 years. I always played a 'skill' position, wide receiver, running back, quarterback, linebacker and defensive back during all those years. So I was muscular and lean, but we had offensive and defensive linemen with much thicker physiques. But those big linemen had to run just as many laps, just as many windsprints, do the weight lifting workouts as the rest of us. Most of those 'fat' guys could often out sprint and run twice as far as several 'lean' athletes I knew, and often could run much further than tennis players, some baseball players, and any of the guys on the golf team and any boxers.
My Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition just came in the mail today. See y'all later.
If I don't use OFF when I'm in the woods I attract chiggers. Those itchy damn little buggers!
So we're not talking about doing mean things to my uncooperative lawnmower are we?
It shouldn't take any longer than any other story. With a new competition going on our verification queue has been very long lately. But please be patient, we will get to your story as quickly as possible.
Thanks,

Edit (delete space) from the beginning of the next line, not the end of the line.
I have found that posting it in a pm to myself and copying, then pasting into the submission box will uaully hold the correct formatting.
Passing is for football, pussy is for eating!
Have y'all tried Heavy Duty Spray Starch?
I like getting story announcements from my friends. It really helps me keep up with everything. It is an option that has been built into the site since before I ever joined. Since I joined Lush to write erotica, I use it myself to promote my work. With membership growing all the time and story submissions growing with them, our stories and poems get less and less time on the front page. So stories and poems can tend to get lost. Its just one more way to promote your stories. I don't see it as any different from having a Forum Signature which acts as advertising for your stories. I love this site and the fact that Nicola had the vision to build in these ways to promote our work.
It was pretty much a dead even match. A freak play almost pulled it out for Seattle, then they went a called the doofus play call of the year. Interception from the 1 yard line. Just run the ball. And don't get in a fight.
