Is there in person counseling available to you? Talking to someone face to face about it would probably help. And, I might suggest a self-defense class, at the very least for peace of mind.

Saying "shut up" is almost always rude. There are lots of other, less confrontational ways of saying you don't want to hear that stuff. "Please, I really don't want to hear that stuff" or "I'm uncomfortable talking about this with you" are immediately, big steps up from "shut up".

There's the ability to remember everything, and there's active recall. If you _can_ remember everything, that doesn't mean you have to recall everything. I'd say yes.

Some folks are just insecure enough of their own sexuality that they'll lash out at anything or anyone that challenges their self-perception - or the sandcastle of sexual propriety they've built upon it.

You guys don't know what you're missin', which is fine - I'm sure other genres have large followings elsewhere but not here. It's a whole subculture, not far removed from aliens/monsters/weres and assorted scifi/horror erotica.

Good to see you, too, nicola!

You can make me come in just one hundred and forty characters?" She was skeptical. I was not. "Open your legs and I'll show you," I replied.

--

Funny how it works. The breaking of her voice precedes by one second the arcing of her body, inside and out. Thunder and lightning reversed.

It is the way you raise your hips to chase my finger after that first slow, wet swipe up your slit. With that, Dearest, I know you are mine.

I tweeted these many moons ago:

---

I trace the lines of her body with my eyes, archiving. Fixing her like this in my mind. I have to, because, at some point, I will untie her.

---

Go on, keep it up, smiling like that, Miss Strapless-and-Sandals. Spy on me from the corners of your eyes. But careless. I'll eat you alive.

---

I see the hesitation in her eyes. She's guessing at who I am. Whether she can trust me. She can't. She shouldn't. I smile when she says yes.

---

You shouldn't be smiling. You've no idea what you do to me- what you've awakened in me. It scares _me_. It should scare the hell out of you.

“I owe you,” I said.
Not batting an eye, she said:
“Talk dirty to me.”

Flowers, chocolate,
and a good hard fuck. Who says
romance is dead?

~

Not washing my face
keep your taste on me all day
lick my lips often.

~

Summoned from deep sleep,
you astride, coaxing grinning,
I explode awake

~

Brazen coffee
brewing naked with my cream
running down your leg.

I've just taken down about half of my stories on Lush, including two that were Editor's Picks. I really was sad to do it, but events conspire... Two events in fact.

First, one of the stories - Sunday Tease - was accepted by the online magazine Oysters and Chocolate for publication in March. Their contract asks for an online exclusive period of 3 months, and so I have to take the story down for that.

Second, and bigger, is that my second book is coming out from Republica Press. It will contain the stories I've taken down, Including in the Dark, Gang Rave, The Garden, My Turn, and a couple others that never made it to Lush.

If it is OK with Nicola, I'll post a link when the book goes live.
Active Ink Slinger
I apologize. I didn't think it would be an issue - Lush doesn't publish, and I think is actively happy to see authors published. I'm more than happy to edit/remove that post if it is in bad form.
I'm not trying to drive traffic away by any means. I think the more people going more places, everybody benefits. But I will absolutely follow the admins' wishes on this.
Active Ink Slinger
Thank you all. Coming in the new year, I'm looking to collect a bunch of other stories into another book. Any of the authors here who are thinking about it should go take a look at the press and contact the editor, Emma at . They're really great to work with.

Hello folks. I have two publishing pieces of news on small, and one large.

Small first:

Just today, a new story of mine, Fog, is published at Clean Sheets. Find the Story Here under the name Raziel Moore.

Now big:

I'm very pleased to announce the publication of my e-book - Nightmares and Visions: 100 Flashes of Dark Erotica, at Republica Press.

If any of you have a particularly nice (or particularly naughty) girl in need of a bunch of short, hot edgy reads, it's not to late to stuff her electronic stocking. Here's the description:

Fantasies we dare not tell?

They lurk under our beds. They hide in our closets. They wait behind
barely open doors. Imagine one hundred short vignettes; scenes of sexual
risk, entrapment, surrender and coercion meant to delightfully
frighten and titillate.

From the seducer to the seduced, from the hunter and the hunted, from
the ravishing monsters you don't dare mention, you cannot escape. From
the shape-shifting world of dreams to the mundane turned upside-down,
be ready to look under your bed, in your closet and behind every
door. These are stories to read with a flashlight under the safety of
your sheets. Some may be your dreams. Some will become your dreams.

Explore the eroticism of the unexpected.


Most of these short tales (200-900 words each) would not fall within the allowed bounds of Lush, so fair warning. (And thank you, Nicola for letting me post). However, if you like an edgy read, these might be for you.

Would that my flock be so mighty as to summon the fail whale. However, it does get the word out a bit.

I just signed up on twitterfeed. Hopefully something should show up tonight. I just posted a story that will also go to Lush in a few days.
Active Ink Slinger
I opened a twitter account ( _Monocle_ - include the underscores before and after) )because of this thread but didn't do anything with it. I only have three measly tweets so far. However, I would like to use it productively. Most particularly, I'd like to use it to broadcast posts on my blog, which I will try to avoid pimping here (I link to it in my Lush and Twitter profile, so won't post it here in the forum. I'd like to find a way so that blog updates automatically get tweeted, but could still do "by hand". Does anyone here know if there is that kind of auto-tweet capability for places like wordpress?

No - that was Jesus.

Late to the thread, but I think you have the right take on it. Husbands may not be experiencing the same physical changes, but they're going through a wringer of their own - most of a pregnancy is completely out of the father's control, so there's a certain amount of anxiety there. Because he can't do anything to help with that part, he has to do something.

The only two words I have to add, however are "Pregnancy Massage". If CastleKing has not learned and begun practicing this on you yet, tell him to stop lifeguarding the kitchen stool and get to the library. Neither of you will be sorry.

I agree Rocco, Sci-Fi doesn't do anything for me either, and there doesn't seem to be much out there in that genre. I'm not for the Erotic Horror category, too open for abuse.

Fantasy / non-human is covered by Supernatural isn't it? We need 1 all encompassing section for all those. Would "Supernatural" be obvious enough?


SciFi and Fantasy have dedicated subgenre audiences. Though they may not align with "traditional" Lush readers, they may attract new ones. I think one catch all of SF/F/Supernatural would suffice, but would be harder to pin down to a single word on a genre list. Perhaps "Fantastic" would be a good catchall.
Active Ink Slinger
Four cents:

Another term for quickies common in fiction writing is "Flash Fiction". Depending on the site, those can be limited to 500 or 1000 words.

I don't know if there's enough differentiation between "Fantasy" (as part of SF/F), "Supernatural", and "Non-human" to warrant three different categories.

I also don't think this site is a good fit for "Erotic Horror" unless the reluctance/nonconsent division moves a litle closer to the latter.

My personal preference would be to leave bestiality out.

That all said, I'd love to see some of these new categories, since that would open Lush up for several additional submissions from me.

Bonus penny - Another category to think about - "Impregnation/Conception" stories.

What about curvaceously petite? Honestly, either/or like asking what kind of color-blindness you prefer in a technicolor world.
