I've abandoned about ninety percent or so of the stories I've started, maybe more. Sometimes I'll write a story that seems really hot and interesting when I write it, but seems dull and stupid the next day when I reread it, and sometimes I just don't like the idea of the story anymore. I've gone back to stories I've started, worked on them again and left them again, only to return and rewrite them completely. I think it's just a process writers go through.

"Darkness is an odd thing to see. Sometimes, darkness can be scary but not this kind. This was self induced. The sun shone from above onto my neck and head, a spectacular feeling. It just couldn't overpower the feeling of nerves, sexual excitement that I felt. I felt, as I can only put it, like a slut. I'd never felt this way before and i'm not too sure I like it. We shall see. Sure I had done this before but not like this!"

"Meet me in the Sherwood forest, on the floor, blindfolded. I'll take up your offer." Was a message I received but an hour ago.

To Liz and OWA,
Just after I posted my last remark I realized how rude it was and I changed it to be more polite. Unfortunately WWM had already quoted it and the two of you had already seen the original post. I apologize for my rudeness.
I will say again that a crappy story is a crappy story no matter how good the grammar is. The verifiers do help the writers make the stories more understandable but the verifiers do not make the story better. This is a fine distinction. I know I could rewrite any Shakespeare story and make it more easily understood but I know that wouldn't make it better.
"When a man's verses cannot be understood, nor a man's good wit seconded with the forward child
Understanding, it strikes a man more dead than a great reckoning in a little room. Truly, I would
the gods had made thee poetical." Bill Shakespeare

After reading the replies from OWA and Liz I see the error of my ways and I now realize that none of the people that have posted stories here on Lush could possibly have teached their full potential with out the help of the verifiers.
We need the verifiers badly.
I can see why you don't think we need verifiers. The stories that you see posted online have, in many cases, been returned to the writer for extensive modification. The verifier makes recommendations, and the recommendations are made in order to make the story better. A story that has spaces between the words, proper grammar, and correct spelling is a story that is better than one that is written without regard to proper English usage. Most of the stories we receive aren't perfect. Some of them can be published as they are submitted, but a lot of them need correction.
You don't see the stories in their unfinished form. You have no idea how much work goes into a story that is actually published on Lush. Many, if not all, writers, could benefit from the help of an editor. It might surprise you to learn that most of the writers of fiction on the New York Times best selling list have editors. Most of the people who have drawers full of rejection slips don't. Stories full of technical errors don't get past the first reader.
If you want your story to be published full of technical errors feel free to submit it elsewhere. It's not going to be published that way here.

Coming to an internet sex site is like going to a movie. It requires the willing suspension of disbelief if you're going to enjoy yourself. Except in those cases where you actually want to meet someone face to face, what they look like, or what character they portray online is irrelevant. Online, I portray a somewhat attractive twenty seven year old woman with red hair, small breasts, and a semi-polite demeanour who tries to be nice to everyone. In real life I discovered a cure for herpes and kept it to myself, because, fuck the rest of you, at least I don't have herpes, and I plant poison ivy in people's yards. If I tried doing that online I'd just end up with a rash.

Kings County Bar, in Brooklyn, NY, is holding a small penis contest July 20th. The bar is at 286 Siegel Street near the Morgan Avenue L train. It starts at five. Of course, I don't expect to see any guys from Lush there. The average Lush penis is nine and a half inches long. At least so I've been told.

It's a dominant's desire to push limits that can cause mental harm to a sub? And that's OK?
No. That isn't what was said. You reshaped the sentence to make it suit your agenda. It is the desire of both sub and dom to push limits. We don't want to push the limits beyond the point where it would cause either mental or physical harm. That's why we have safewords.

Jack makes some good points, or at least points the way to this answer: in a GOOD bdsm relationship the Domme should KNOW what bothers the sub and really, there shouldn't be a reason to need to use a safe word often if ever. that said, think of it as a security blanket. the sub knows that, if they are getting into unknown territory, she has it to use, making it easier for her to relax and be guided into something that she wants to experience but also makes her quite nervous. i hope that helps?
As a relationship grows, the boundaries keep getting pushed. The safe word is good to slow things down if you're not quite ready yet. A sub might use the safe word for something today that a month from now will be okay.
Always use a safeword. It's a matter of trust on both sides. You have to know that the other person will stop when you use it. They have to be willing to stop no matter how hot and exciting the moment is. It should be used online for verisimilitude, if nothing else. I'm really into ritual and getting the safeword is part of the ritual.
You should try to create as realistic a scene as you can for the person you're chatting with. If it's a BDSM scene, the safeword should be part of it.

That's kind of what I'm getting at. My point is that people are capable of change, whether it's in a negative way or a positive way. Just because a person has been monogamous at one point doesn't mean they'll always be monogamous. Just because a person has cheated once doesn't mean they'll cheat in every relationship from then on. People are capable of growth and change. Not always in a good way.
Regaining the trust that is lost when one partner cheats on the other in a relationship is harder for some people than others. I'm not sure that total trust can ever be regained. I've known couples who split up the first time one of them cheated, and I've known others who have stayed together and worked it out. It's hard to just give up on a relationship because of one incident of cheating. There is always the thought that maybe we can work it out.
For the people who are talking about mate swapping and threesomes, etc., I don't think that is quite the same thing as cheating. If both partners in a relationship want the same thing and agree on it, then there is no trust issue involved. What I mean by cheating is to betray the trust of the person you love. If you really love them, then you shouldn't even think about betraying them. It hurts to be the one being cheated on.
It's not just the sex, it's the deception and lying that go along with it. If cheating was just a sexual act, like masturbating, it wouldn't be nearly as painful. It's the emotional damage that's hard to overcome.

Jesus Christ. I agree it's a really stupid question, but I can't say I see a shitload of hatred towards women along those that consider women on their periods as unclean. He's just asking a stupid and somewhat funny question, in the same genre as "if you had to choose for the rest of your life, which hand would you wank with".
How do you compare a question about cutting off parts of a woman's anatomy with deciding which hand to masturbate with? The questions have nothing in common. He wanted to know if I wanted to have my clit cut off. I didn't. The question is disturbing. It isn't funny. I don't see how it could be considered even remotely funny in light of the fact that women routinely have their clitoris cut off in some cultures. Those same cultures see having a period as unclean, and women as inferior in every way to men. This is not a question that a man who likes women would ask. A man who likes women would know that a question like that is anti-woman. Or maybe I'm just pissed because I'm having my period.

Calm down ffs
I haven't even got warmed up yet. If you come on here asking questions that are barely concealed hatred for half of the human race you have to expect some of us to take offence. My opinion of your question is that it reeks of misogyny. I have no idea why you hate women, and no desire to know. It will be enough for me that you go away and stay away. I hope you do.
