Ugh.

Have the day off (!) and am feeling super guilty about not entering something that vaguely resembles a poem into the contest, because it's being held in honour of DM/Alan. So I'm writing. Trying to channel Dylan Thomas and it's coming out more like an awful poetic version of Ulysses; incoherent, incomprehensible, and rambling. The only thing keeping me at it is the knowledge that I can kill it the second the contest is over.

Double Glenlivet 18 on the rocks, please, with a Drambuie chaser, neat.
As said by others, the description of a woman by her measurements, especially in the first person, definitely needs to die. Kill it. Kill it with fire.

So folks are u mostly saying that you do not agree with the main issue of the article? In other words this trend is connected simply to gals and men own discreption but nothing is changed with respect to the past decades in sociological models?


Um, I'm really not sure how to read this statement. I certainly don't know what kind of answer it is you're looking for, Mathew.

Multiple people, including myself, have suggested that changing sociological, demographic, and economic trends, particularly in the last twenty years, have altered the way that interracial couples are seen in society. I didn't say that I disagreed with the "main issue" of the article, I said that the interpretation of the Pew Study was flawed. I also pointed out that it was one article, from a quasi-legitimate news source, and that I could find no supporting articles.

I'm thinking that, in reference to your original post and "sexual emotions", whatever those are, you wanted some kind of treatise on how hot black men are? Or how white women just can't help but be attracted to any given black man? I don't know. I think I'm done here.
Excellent post.

English isn't my natural language, so I am very careful with my words--written and otherwise. I do struggle with dialogue, although it's probably more with using the correct words than with formatting.

Side note: Specific to Lush, the thing that will stop me dead in my tracks (or cause me not to click on the story at all, if it's in the first paragraph) is a female character describing herself as if she's at an escort agency, e.g., "My name is Brooke. I'm a college sophomore, petite, with perky 36DDD breasts...".

I see that way too often, and maybe there are readers who don't care, but I'm pretty sure that no woman in the history of ever has described herself by listing her measurements in casual conversation.
So.

One random news source based in New York City, NY but claiming an emphasis on African news "submitted by citizen reporters" (read: Can you type? Will you write a semi-cogent if not necessarily factual article for us for free? You're hired!) publishes one article that says one in eight marriages are interracial.

From this it appears that you, Mathew, have taken all of those marriages to be between a white woman and a man of African descent. Pro tip: This is not the case.

Yes, the article is titled "White Women And African Men: What Is The Attraction?" and yes, perhaps if you read the article sparingly or without commensurate reading comprehension skills, then you might come to the conclusion that there is some sudden uptick in white women running out to actively seek partners of African descent. The title of the article is clearly meant as clickbait. The truth is, Mathew, that there have been major sociological, economic, and demographic changes worldwide in the past twenty-odd years, and yes, it is not now nearly as unusual as it might have been even thirty years ago to marry outside of one's own race.

There are no substantiating articles--similar articles with similar titles and similar focus published by other, independent news sources--to be found that would support your initial premise that somehow white women are fleeing their own race in droves, or "forcing" their white husbands to be cuckolds as their white wives entertain lovers of African descent. No substantiating articles means no news, Mathew. No news means no grounding in reality for your assertion/"question".

I'm going to go with Buz's thinking here, only I'm going to be a wee bit more direct. You have a cuckolding fetish. Specifically, you want your wife or partner or future wife or partner to be actively interested in having sex outside the relationship with a man or men of African descent. Whatever works, Mathew.

FTR, I am about as white as white can get--straight Scottish and English lineage, with a Francophone Canadian mother--and I do not recall ever being attracted to any man solely because of his heritage, ethnicity or race. I also do not recall ever rejecting a man solely because of his heritage, ethnicity or race.

What i mean is that i read an article that says socially speaking more and more white single and married gals started in our past decades dating African Men.
Also more and more married women cheat or impose their white husbands their liason with their black lovers.....according to the article it happens for many reason one of it is because white women find more sexual emotions with those Africans....what is your opinion?


Could you please cite this reference? Thank you.

I am a terrible poet too, Mike. But as you probably know, BC can be very convincing. I will come up with some doggerel (I love that word) if you will. Again, it's for a good cause - in remembrance of a truly good soul.


No, no, I have you all bested in the "terrible poet" category. The one and only time I submitted a poem to the site was for a competition, and it was perfectly awful. I killed it soon after the comp closed. Trust me, it deserved to die.

The really sad thing? I minored in English lit and specifically the Romanticism movement. "Ode On A Grecian Urn" is permanently entrenched in my memory, along with multitudinous other works by Romantic poets. So I really have no excuse, other than saying hey, I truly suck at the poetry thing.

I'm sure this teacher felt in great power when he could have his cock sucked for only 5 A's. I guess it's just how you look at it.


I have to agree. To the OP, I don't see what your girlfriend did as empowering--silly, maybe, since it was just Chem, or even debasing, since the presumption was made before the offer that none of you could otherwise improve your marks, but not empowering.

On a personal level, I truly enjoy performing fellatio, and for me, it truly is, at least in part, a power thing. It was the first sexual act I ever performed or engaged in, and it was an amazing thing, to discover that I could bring my partner to absolute loss of control over his own body. The thrill still hasn't worn off some twenty odd years on.

Still waiting for my G & T... Not sure where the barman has wandered off to. Sheesh.


Goodness. *smoothing skirt and straightening out my blouse* Such an honour. My grandmother always said that there weren't two sets of etiquette, one for high tea at Buckingham Palace and one for everywhere else...glad that I heeded her words now.

Bill, whatever you were going to be making, make a damn gin and tonic for the lady. I brought a new bottle of Bombay Sapphire, and you'll notice the six pack of Fever Tree sitting next to the Bombay bottle. Also figured that you were probably lacking in the "fresh garnish" department, so there's three fresh limes sitting out, along with a bottle of Rose's just in case. Why yes, I was a Girl Guide...and yup, we're always prepared.

I'll just have a Crispin apple cider, please. Leave the bottle. Thank you, dear.
I write all my stories in Google Docs on Google Drive. There are generally a few formatting hiccups when transferring over to Lush, but patience and a seriously jaundiced eye can fix those fast.

The benefit to saving your stories elsewhere? You can take a snippet here and there, run it through Google, and find out who has stolen your work (pro tip: EVERYONE). Then you can drive yourself quite mad with DMCA takedown requests. It's a hobby.
Hmm. No. Probably because I don't know the age of consent for any given fruit or vegetable. Is it at first ripening? Fully ripe? Slightly past ripe and mushy? Full on mushy? The mind boggles.
First person may seem easier to write, but it's also the easiest POV in which to write poorly, IMHO.

Looking at my own pieces, the only one to be truly first person POV is My Favourite Word and you'll notice that it's a Flash Erotica piece. Meaning that I literally stripped it down to the bone in order to avoid having it wander off into the woods.

I think that it's very easy to go astray when writing in the first person POV, and doubly so if you're basing your story on an actual real life event. The third person allows for far more breadth in writing, IMHO.

So the question before tonight's gathering is: what should one choose if offered either free love or nickel beer?


Well, love is never free, and so I'll go with the nickel beer--at least that way I know what the tab will be in the end.
Oh, I don't know...when he's holding up his end of a discussion revolving around Bell's theorem?
Gil, the problem with medications meant to address mental illness is primarily that their actual functioning is still up for some debate. What works spectacularly in Patient A may show no effect in Patient B, despite both patients having identical presentations. So you end up playing medication roulette.

In my case, it took over a decade before the right medication combination was found, and I have boring, garden-variety general depression and anxiety. I can't imagine how it would be if I had a more serious variety of mental illness and was unable to advocate for myself.
Hannah's Lost Angels was awarded an EP? I should really go through my friends' profiles more often...or, you know, ever.

Congratulations, H.
Whatever works, I suppose. Doesn't make my Top Ten list with regards to stimulation, though.
1. I've been pawed on the back and licked on the cheek by an adult male grey wolf (aka "timber wolf", aka C. lupus). Yes, a real one, and no, the wolf was not supposed to be acclimated to humans. I was 12.

2. At 6', I'm the shortest woman in generations in my family on my mother's side.

3. I shoot Glock pistols competitively and am in the process of taking up 3-gun competition (handgun, rifle, shotgun). Yet I don't hunt, I don't carry, and never touched a gun until I was well into my 20's.
I think you did a great job of beating Mike into submission, Hannah. The story is lovely.

Now, I'd like another Dirty (with a capital "D") Martini, please. Have to keep Mike busy.

Oh, wow, another crass forum with Moderators taking the pure piss out of someone!
Maybe that's why they've left?
Just banging that out there to the super duper moderators!


The moderators here are volunteers, last I checked, and donate their time and efforts towards keeping Lush the premier literary erotica site that it is. Don't like a moderator? Please, I beseech you, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

The OP deleting her account is quite likely due to some other interaction with some other Lush member(s). Whatever. It's not about Sprite, nor about any other moderator.

As to the original question, my story titles are almost always either double entendres (as in Double Oxer) or are taken from the story itself--although I tend to have a working title for whatever before I even begin writing.

look online and go to a motel. wear sunglasses and hats.


This, exactly. What could possibly go wrong...oh, other than everything?
Very nice addition. I'm not sure that I've ever placed in the top 10 in a competition, but I think a badge recognising runners-up or honourable mentions is to be commended. Thank you.
Never, except for when I'm abed, obviously. Although today I did have a bra mishap...the left strap broke and I didn't notice until the strap itself fell out of the top of my uniform. Not awesome.

Quick run to the lockers with a colleague and several safety pins and the girls were secured again.
It'd be lovely if some kind of "In Memoriam" note was to be added to Alan's profile by the site.

I believe he was a gold member, meaning that his subscription will eventually expire, I'd be open to gifting him a Platinum so that his profile and stories remain available in perpetuity. I was never bold enough to ask him to be a friend--I regret that now.
