I'm in a relationship too and of all the things that offend me, this isn't one of them.
Truth be told, I have been known to look at dicks that don't belong to my bf. For example, when you watch porn, it's kind of hard to avoid them.
Sending unsolicited dick pics on Lush vs sending unsolicited dick pics through company email or on a website about shoes or protein shakes would hit me differently. Because of the sexual nature of the site, I assume there will be some nudity and dicks flying around. You just have to account for the fact that not everyone has manners or bothers to read profiles.
If that's the extent of my interaction with them, meh. At worst it's tacky. If he's got a weird one, then it can be funny. All in all, just something to delete or have a laugh over. Not worth any stress for me.
Nope. I've done the sex after an argument or bad break-up but I've genuinely never had the urge to fuck the people that I legit hate.
I like swimmer build/fit, - the abs don't have to be totally shredded or super defined. Although, not gonna lie... that's always nice too.
"If you take every single person killed in a terrorist act around the world in the last twenty years, and you add to that all the lives lost in the Middle East since 1967 -- the 6 Day War -- and you add to that every single American life lost in Vietnam, in Korea, and in every single American engagement since then -- Iraq, Afghanistan... If you take all those lives and you multiply by two, that's the number of children that die of malaria every single year."
Guys, this is my very first comp win and I am HUGELY humbled because the talent was absolutely stacked! Everyone brought their A game to this one and the more stories I read, the more impressed I was with the creativity and skill set of soooo many Lush authors, many of whom I look up to as writers. I think the top twenty are all winners in my book.
Congrats to everyone that ran with the very tough challenge of writing to a limited word count. You all really seized the moment to knock it out of the park and I honestly think everyone that entered should be proud. *Raises a bottle of Jack Daniels* - thank you a million times over and much love. xx
The banging at the end of your vagina is your cervix. When a guy is rather large, it will hit your cervix with each thrust, and it's not a nice feeling - it does hurt. I agree with Dani, I think he needs to use more shallow thrusts in that position or try one that prevents really deep penetration.
You should also make sure you're sufficiently aroused beforehand. The general consensus is that a woman's vagina is only 3 or 4 inches long and many use this as an argument for the benefits of a smaller dick. In actuality when a woman is aroused, her cervix lifts higher into her body. Many woman can accommodate 8+ inches. If you're not totally warmed up/aroused etc though that might explain why he's hurting you with deep entry. Make sure you have at least one orgasm beforehand and also use plenty of lube. Oh... and tell him to go slow or you can also take control in this position and back yourself onto his cock while he stays stationary so you're the one controlling the depth of the thrusting.
You just need to experiment with it a bit and see what works - you don't want to be doing anything that causes you discomfort.
This is a difficult one for me to answer. A big part of why I'm on Lush is to write. It's important to me. At the same time, I don't want to appear like I'm begging or pressuring people to read what I write. The 'shameless' self-promotion hits the nail on the head, in a lot of ways. It's difficult to be 'shameless' about it, even though in the industry you almost have to be (or have others doing it for you). It's still something I'm not always comfortable with.
Even on Twitter, I see endless author accounts who just tweet the same adverts for their eBooks over and over again, multiple times a day, every single day. Just adverts. Just retweets. And yes, they have thousands of followers. As a reader I find those sort of tactics to be a real put-off, so I don't get it. I don't like heavy-handed sales tactics with zero personal touch. When I see author accounts, I want to see that the person is putting in at least some effort to let people know who they are as well - their thoughts, interests - not always non-stop *BUY THIS!* and *READ THAT* spam-capades, like a PR-robot.
On Lush, I guess it's the fine line between promoting your writing and not appearing pushy about it. Let's be honest, if every person who wrote on this site used the All-Friends PM method every single time they posted something, our inboxes would be permanently flooded. Some writers here post multiple stories or poems a month. I think that's too much. I don't mind the PM-blasts on occasion - they often will remind me to read something I might not have noticed otherwise. At the same time, I have great respect for the *follow* button on Lush and assume that those that want to be notified when certain people post stories here will use that.
For my own promotion here, I pretty much just use my profile blog and my forum signature. I have sent an All-Friends message twice in my lifetime on Lush - both around the holidays (one year apart) to wish people well and to mention eBooks that I published that year (the 'follow' button doesn't cover eBooks). That's the system I'm most in favour of, but as I said - I don't mind if people use the occasional all-friends message if it's just once in a while for a big important story that you're proud of or a comp entry or if you haven't written in a while. If it's something that gets over-used or blasted for things like "hey, I posted a new pic of myself on my profile - comment on it!" or "here's a link to my weekly poem!" then yeah, it's annoying. It's definitely a fine balance.
