As I said in the other thread, it's not against lush rules. The law is aimed at protecting you from seeing things where you don't expect it, e.g to your email account, or a mainstream social media app. This is an adult erotica site. By continuing to use this site there is a reasonable expectation that you will be exposed to x-rated material. The site has provided tools to help you manage your own experience here.

I think this thread has run its course.

This is an adult sex-related site, and by using it, yes, you're probably going to be more exposed to x-rated things, than if you choose not to use it. The site has put tools in place for people to manage unwanted communications, should they wish to use them. There is no lush law against sending an x-rated pic to someone via the internal mail, solicited or otherwise, and I can't see that changing. Some don't like it, some do like it and others just don't care. Personally, I think it's fucking weird. As others have said, if you don't open with that in a bar, don't open with that here. But this is a sex site, and it will not even cross some people's minds that this wouldn't be allowed.

However, we will not tolerate harassment under any circumstances. If someone has been asked to stop and doesn't, this will be investigated and acted upon. You may not find out the outcome of this investigation, or you may not agree with it, but that doesn't mean nothing has happened.

But the first line of defence are the block tools available to you, which we ask all people to make use of, as with any other site on the internet. All the mods are members too and this site is meant to be fun. We don't want to start strictly policing every aspect of people's interactions. Yes, it would be nice if it wasn't a thing, however it would be naive to assume human nature is going to change any time soon.

If you report harassment, it will be investigated. Reports are monitored throughout the day by various mods. Discussions are had about any cases that cause concern, and any permanent bans go through admin, so there is an additional layer of scrutiny. All this reporting activity is logged, as are any outcomes.

There used to be a 'Hide' option but I cannot see that now. If you edit the story it will be removed and placed into your drafts folder which meets your requirements. Should you then wish to relist it you would need to publish again (with a moderator note to say it actually hasn't changed you simply wanted to remove it for a while). Anyway someone else may have a better solution or find the 'Hide' option.

Yeah, editing and saving to your drafts is the way. It will retain scores and comments and it's not a hassle to deal with

Do you now have to purchase an upgrade to change your forum signature? I used to know how to do that. I guess I could use a refresher. Thanks.

I don't think you need a subscription. See this thread for a how to

Of course there is the question of whether Australia is an island for the purposes of this competition so anything goes.

It is not.

Quote by Piquet

Absolutely.

Are y'all okay, lol?

There is something special about an island. Isolated or not, they are their own little microcosms of civilization.

We want to read your sexy stories situated on an island. Maybe you’re having a summer getaway to an idyllic adults-only paradise. Maybe you’ve been marooned and washed ashore, not knowing what or who awaits you. Or maybe you’ve uprooted your mainland life in favour of a slower island life.

The setting doesn’t have to be hot, but the stories need to be. We want steamy, sordid details of everything your characters get up to in the bedroom, or the workplace, or the beach... you get the picture.

Stories should be a maximum of 4,000 words (no poetry or micros please) and as always, we encourage you to use our large category list to help with ideas.

This competition will run through May.

Closing date: Saturday May 31st

Announcement date: Monday 9th June Edit: or Tuesday 10th 😇

See link below for full details.

Works okay for me too, straight from my phone pictures.

Anything yet, WW?

No. We will advise if there is an update, thanks.

Quote by HarryAnn

is there a rough indication of how long it takes to get one's story reviewed and published? Are we generally talking about days, weeks, months?

Usually 2-3 weeks for silver or below. 2-3 days for gold/platinum. there are around 100 in the queue at any given point, but gold/platinum go in at the top. Hope that helps.

Congrats, JP. Really well-deserved.

Lol, it was fun getting to play for once. My thanks to your laddie for putting up with us, Kimmi. Really enjoyed this - well done to everyone.

❤️🧡💛💚🩷💜💙

These are so fun. Thanks for organising, Kimmi.

Peach

The cooling pie’s aroma permeated the kitchen. My wife sat, feasting on a spare half of ripe peach, watching me.

I was naked. Handcuffed. Hard.

She finished licking her fingers, then used them to pierce the crust, digits disappearing into the hole and withdrawing, sticky.

I whimpered, needily.

She lifted the violated pie and approached me, sliding my cock into the warm peachy goo as I groaned.

“Dessert-time, baby.”

Hi. Yesterday used coins to upgrade toa gold membership for a year. It went through fine and I was gold all day yesterday. But today it's showing that I have a non paying membership. I was hoping to get this addressed please. I can see that it took my coins and that it shows that I did upgrade.

That should be you sorted. Sorry about that

Happy Sunday, folks. My thanks to the judges for turning this one around so quickly. These may have been short, but this was not an easy ask. Poetry is so very subjective, and it means different things to different people.

That was one of the reasons that this wasn't whittled down to a top ten before the judges got it - it was over to them to whittle it down further. It's a combo of me chickening out but also making other people work more, lol 😇 In all seriousness though, I'd like to thank the judges for their time and insights into what these poems evoked in them.

But without further ado, I will offer my sincerest congrats to Ascendent, who took the top spot with her brilliant take on 'what if'. The Shadow Life takes first place. Closely following on her heels was the beautiful erotic offering, Blind, from Katherine. And third place goes to Henke, with his gorgeous real take on what loving someone is. And Yet... takes bronze. I will be in touch with you all re prizes shortly.

This was a bittersweet one, because it's hard to see a lush poetry competition where we didn't get a masterpiece penned by Elliot, but I'm sure he'd be delighted with the array of talent on show, and in particular, our three worthy winners. Thank you to all who took part, whether just to try your hand, or as way of tribute. The next competition will be back to stories, and will be announced in the next week or so.

I don't really get the need to extend it. Like Susie said, it's a popular authors list, which some might use rather than the RR/EP section. It can get to be an obsession with some authors. It wasn't too far in the past we had one person spamming everyone and their granny to like and comment and the pressure got to be so much that she just started stealing stories from elsewhere to keep the content coming.

I think 100 is probably the limit I'd want to see.

Quote by Caged_4_Her_2_Abuse

I understand r*** is a banned topic, but what about a story/theme where the wife has a r*** fetish and with the aide of her cuckold fetish husband, he arranges strangers to quench her fetish. Therefore, while both have different kinks, fulfill them in a unique way. From the story perspective, the sex may appear nonconsensual, however in reality it is fulfilling her fetish safely and prearranged.

I have a line at the end of the story that explains the relationship: "What you’ve just read is a day in the wonderful relationship between a husband—me—who has a submissive, cuckolding kink, and his beautiful wife who has a yearning nonconsensual kink.  Stay tuned and see how their fetishes intertwine to keep each other fulfilled."

In full transparency: these were a series of stories written privately for a woman I met here on Lush who had this specific type of fetish, and we were looking for ways to dovetail our kinks. I think they are really entertaining with a unique twist and would love to publish them within the rules.

I'm happy to share it with a mod prior to publishing if required.

We accept stories with a twist like that so long as all parties are in the know, the R word isn't mentioned anywhere, and everything is resolved by the end of the story. So no cliffhangers in part 1 where people may still think it's non-con.

We wouldn't accept stories where someone may believe they are being abused up front and it's revealed to them afterwards they weren't.

Nor would we accept stories where a third-party person or group of people think they're actually getting to abuse someone.

Quote by RowanThorn

Howdy, I have a story I’m working on about a cosplayer. Are there any specific rules that would prevent me from referencing that characters she’s dressed up as. Like if she was Sailor Moon, could I actually call it as such?

Yeah, sounds fine to me.

Ah, okay, I wonder if the link box is accidentally covering the post button. I'll refer to the tech people to check

Quote by Meagananne1986

Recently, I've been trying to share my latest stories on my home page, both here in Lush, and in your sister site, SS. I set everything up but there doesn't seem to be a way to finalize it, like a post button or something. What am I missing?

Hiya, I presume you mean share the link to them? They're not still the queue for moderation, are they?
