For me, I swallow it as quickly as possible. My husband enjoys it except the tickle he gets after he cums that my lips & tongue irritate. Knowing when it's going to happen helps a lot.
I have taken real-life event and morphed them into a fictional tale. An example of this for me is my story How I Got My Job, where the character meets a man for an interview at what turns out to be a Starbucks kiosk in a grocery story. Now, I really had an interview at a Starbucks kiosk in a grocery store, but that's were the reality ends. What happens in the story (the lunch at Applebees and events that follow) were all fictional.
Real life can be a great launching point for fiction. I know someone once said to write what you know, but maybe what they meant was, use what you know and add to it with your vivid imagination. I do think all authors use elements of what they know, they embellish or enhance it to make the story better & more interesting.
I mean... I don't think Edgar Allan Poe ever murdered anyone (at least... I'd like to hope not.)
Hurt... but that will pass.
I'm sure someone else has suggested this, but I feel this should be considered.
I know we, as authors, can require that when someone votes, they leave a comment as to why. I personally don't have this on (for reasons I don't feel I need to share in a public forum.) However, today I had a story get a 1 with no apparent reason. This isn't the first time this has happened to me, or others I know. Now, I do feel that people have the right to vote how they wish, but for any scores below a 3, they should be required to say why. What did the author did that was so wrong? Was the writing that bad?
I do feel they have the right to their opinion, but I would like to have the right to respond, or at least say, "You have a valid point."
EDIT: I did hear from the reader and they said it was an error. Thank GOD Gav has allowed us to change our scores when we fuck up (and I'll even admit I've goofed a score... but at least I could fix it quickly.) Sorry if I sounded thinned skin (which some have said I did not sound that way), but it was rough way to start my day... but now... it's getting much brighter.
Hey Gav... I tried to post some pics in the forum just like you told me (no spaces in the title) and they aren't showing (again.) Now, if it's an issue with the file type (.png vs. .bpm or .jpg) I can make that change... if not... could ya look into it, please. Note... I access Lush on Chrome (I personally hate IE and Firefox makes me nuts.)
I'm sure you'll solve this one even faster than my last problem (& you though I'd never talk with you again... lol)
Wicked!
My son and I are going to see it for our 3rd time in October in Las Vegas. I have the soundtrack and I love this show. If they ever make it a movie... I'm so there!!!
This is one that's never really phased me. Sure I relate to a female narrator more than a male, but if the story is well written, it's a minor & mute point. Sometimes seeing how a man thinks (which is different from the way a woman thinks) helps me as a writer. It helps me create better male characters in my stories. I have read great stories with male narrators and horrid ones with female narrators (mind you, these are stories in 1st person POV.)
Good writing is just that... good writing. Male or female narrator shouldn't make a difference. And for me, it doesn't.
A good story is just that... a good story. I've never fucked an alien but I wrote a story in which such an occurrence did happen. Don't worry about what you do or don't know. Write a good story. If it's good, the readers will come. Trust me, I get suggestions from people I know who say, "Have you read this story?" or "OMG! This story is amazing! You should read it."
Good luck! I hope to see your story on the homepage soon.
Felix... it seems that if someone doesn't agree with you, or your thoughts, you go on the attack. You were offended that I agree with Sprite and defended Jayne. You're basically picking a fight because you come up with a story differently than others. You don't like the fact that Jayne can come up with a story idea within a few hours. Then you won't like how I have gotten a story idea within a matter of minutes. Now, an idea is a far cry from the time it takes me to type it all out, proofread it, have a friend proofread it, fix the mistakes I missed (and there are ALWAYS mistakes I miss), then check it once more before I submit it. And often I get a note from the Mod who read my story telling me there are errors I need to fix for a comp entry, or they fix the non-comp entries.
If you were really as open minded as you claim, Jayne's "idea" wouldn't have bothered you in the least, and you wouldn't still be attacking her and anyone else.
And I know... you'll have something snarky to say to me and ya know what... that's fine!
If you choose to enter the contest... then I wish you luck. If not, maybe the next one will be more you style.
Triple posts!!! My internet is acting up so my apologizes.
Of course I wanted to win... but this is my first contest entry that made top 10 so I'm stoked!!! 
And yes... my panties are right were you told me to put them.
