Admittedly I haven't been on for a while, so sorry if this has come up before (I couldn't see it on a cursory search).

Is there a way to view my profile and the stories without it being in mobile mode? I use my mobile, and by starting off in the forums, it forced everything to be desktop. But now it's only desktop in the forum itself, not the profile and stories. Is there a way to force it back, please?!

Thank you for your time.

Hi Daisy,

It's not a scam.

When all the accounts on the desktop site were ported into the mobile platform, I believe the email subscription settings weren't set to "none" by default (our partners who are testing out the new mobile platform for us want to encourage people using it of course). Quite a few people are a little confused, as we've never really used email marketing on the desktop side of things.

The mobile site is set up in such a way they try to encourage members to enter details about themselves, so you're more likely to find people you might like to befriend - to encourage social interaction across the site.

You can log in with your desktop UN / PW and turn off the emails in the settings. You might have to enter any old info into the other sections first, fake or otherwise!

Sorry for the inconvenience! These kind of things happen when running 2 versions of the same site, one for desktop users and one for mobile.

Ye gods, not social interaction! Anybody would think that's what Lush is for...

Thank you for the reply. If I'm forced to enter those details, will I be able to hide them? They'll definitely be fake if not.

Edit: If I set the marketing emails to spam, will that be detrimental to Lush, or just bung them in the spam folder and that's it? Sorry for being pooter illiterate.

Hi Daisy, Larry here.

I am not an expert, nor do I work with Lush, but looks very much like a scam from someone who has obtained your emal info and are phishing for information. Please don't click on anything in this email without some good advice from the admins or mods here on Lush.


Aaaargh! I usually trust the Lush logo, and clicked without thinking, which led me to an immediate page of details like birth date, relationship, height, etc. I hope it's genuine!

Did you sign up for the new mobile site, Shylass? That looks like its logo at the top.


No, not at all. I'm a creature of habit and prefer desktop format on most things where I can. I don't even use that annoying quick log-in box at the upper left. I go to the main log-in page every time.

Hiya. I presume you're still working on the April 1st verification stuff, but I've suddenly got an email from you. My settings are set to no emails, and I don't recognise the weird logo. To unsubscribe from getting the emails, it appears to be forcing me to enter information I don't want to for my profile. Is this part of the new legislation process we'll have to go through, or just a new update that's slipped through the net? Can I unsubscribe without having to give more info than I already have?

Happy Saturday!

I thought you'd be busy with it, but I had no idea what it's supposed to '"look like" either from the users' end or yours. I suppose, since politicians are professional wankers, they don't need extra stimulation. They simply get off on making things hard for everybody else (not in the fun way).

Anyway, THANK YOU for being here and working it out for us.

With the new government policy coming into force in April, will this affect access to Lush, and if so, what verification system will you be using, please?

I've read that "teabagging" is popular in apparently large part because of the subjugation of the "mug".

I understand about physical proximity, and how the act might have a dominating flavour (pun not intended) to it. But really, you have your delicate crown jewels dangling in somebody's gob, and is that danger seriously overridden by the thought that you're the one supposedly in control?!

Or does the vulnerability for you become the turn-on? Or the vulnerability/power of both of you?

When I originally heard of teabagging, I figured it was just because it felt good. I'd appreciate you ball-bearers sharing your thoughts, so I can understand a bit better, please.

Thank you for your time.

I'm so sorry for the loss of such a wonderful man, and whilst it can't help, my thoughts are with his family and friends.

was it rabies?

you know what actually happens when an 'internet friend' dies? you never hear from them again. their account is never again signed into and the only way you ever find out for sure is if someone knows their real name and location and you find an obituary.

their spouses don't call people they knew on a sex site. are you kidding me? anyone with two brain cells to rub together can see this is bullshit. he probably just got bored with the site or had a falling out with someone on here and decided to move on (in style). dramatic exit stage left.


Yes, it's true that some people have faked their deaths before, and it's also true that many people on a sex story site are shallow. However, it's also true that many of the users here are friends outside of this active community, real-life friendships are formed offline as well as on, and some of those people even use the site with and/or with the knowledge of their spouses/family and friends.

Until anything was proven different, nobody would know more about it than those grieving for their friend, so there's no need to be a bellendic fucknugget about it. Grief is still grief, whether it meets your reality expectations or not.

Tried searching for it on google and also doing using the search tab on the site no such luck sad

Guess I’ll just keep on trying. Thanks for the help appreciate it.


It's possible that the author either hid the story (which means it's still on site, but you won't be able to see it until they un-hide it), or that the author deleted their account. If that's the case, then I'm afraid the story went with it, sorry.

The category looks like "Cheating" or "Cuckhold", so it's possible you might find something similar there.

What with it being Pancake Day today, and Chocolate Sale Eve tomorrow (Valentines), I thought there might be one or two people who would enjoy a story about being Up At The Crack Of Dawn.

There's audio too, if you're daft enough (but you'll never listen to Right Said Fred's "I'm Too Sexy..." quite the same again).

HAPPY PANCAKE DAY!

No details, but #MeToo. It's affected me my whole life, both from my own experience and those of minors I used to work with. The trauma caught up with me and illness meant I couldn't squash it down anymore.

On a positive note, I learned a hell of a lot about fun (and friendship) from Lush and some of the people on here, that was previously inaccessible to me, and has meant I've got a more balanced view of what is and isn't "okay".

Can anyone recommend any good Lush poets to a new member?

Apologies if there is already a similar thread in here somewhere and thank you in advance.


The Editors Pick section and Recommended Reads are the easiest places to start for instant top quality, as you suggest.

Amongst my own personal favourites (I'm very picky) are (in no particular order):

Saga https://www.lushstories.com/saga

Frank Lee https://www.lushstories.com/frank_lee

Lauralee_sugah https://www.lushstories.com/lauralee_sugah

Sisyphus https://www.lushstories.com/sisyphus

Delphi https://www.lushstories.com/delphi

Elliotlacey31 https://www.lushstories.com/elliotlacey31


Each of them has a gift for taking my brain away from processing physical words to a thousand other worlds in the space of a few characters. They manage to pull out emotions from my very core and wrap them in senses that are almost physical. That takes both skill and a gift. I highly recommend them.

I think a guy can picture it based on size. A 32a is a small girl with small boobs. 32 d and she has very big boobs for that size of woman. Now if you are a 40b you don't have much and D's are good size but not that large on a woman of that size. Now if you get to a 44 she is a pretty large woman.

for me I think boobs should fit the woman. If you are very small an a or b is good. I do think tits can be too big.

To me the desirability of a woman is on her overall looks and her personality.



You might be surprised at how many men can't picture it. As for boobs "fitting" a woman, I see what you're saying, and FFS. Proportion isn't something women can do much about without a plastic surgeon or other measures to enhance/reduce appearance. But there are plenty of women who fit your aesthetic and happen to be nice, so lucky you.

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but who can resist a shameless plug?

I wrote a couple of stories about a husband and wife looking to spice up their marriage, with the trials and tribulations that can bring.

Vanilla Spice is the wife's attempt at something new (also has audio): https://www.lushstories.com/stories/straight-sex/vanilla-spice-1.aspx

Vanilla Sand is the husband's attempt at something new: https://www.lushstories.com/stories/oral-sex/vanilla-sand.aspx



If you fancy a longer read where you get into the head of an introverted fisherlass who discovers where mermaids come from, you could try A Mermaid's Tale: https://www.lushstories.com/stories/supernatural/a-mermaids-tale.aspx



And finally, if you wish to go on a sweet journey, you could also follow the adventures of a gingerbread man with low self-esteem who wants to be a sexier cookie (added bonus, you find out where candy canes come from, and this one also has audio): https://www.lushstories.com/stories/humor/ginger-spice.aspx

I won't be offended if you don't go there.

I wrote a couple of stories with a friend. However, it shows how long it's been since we talked, as I wasn't aware they'd deleted their account (and the stories).

I enjoyed working with him, as he had a twisted sense of humour which suited my squeamish attitude to talking about sex. We wrote it together over , and I found the process a lot of fun. We gave each other precedence at different times, found compromise, had a long laugh, and certainly from my point of view, learned a lot about developing writing skills from how we worked as individuals. I wanted to work with him again, but that won't be happening now.

There are three other people I'd love to write with, because not only do I hold them in awe, but I want to steal their ways of processing and creating. I am fascinated by how they see the world and lay it out on the screen (page) for the reader to immerse themselves in rich descriptions and realistic relationship with their characters. I'd never ask them, though. Too shy.

Yes, I have quite a few people blocked. The main and usual reason is because I just don't want to see what they have to say, due to their manner or way of speaking to/about people. The odd one or two is because I find some of their (deleted) views abhorrent (most of whom are no longer members). The block can make an individual's forum life more enjoyable by filtering out things (people) they don't wish to see, like choosing a narrowed-down search engine. We all have choices, and it's mine to use it. I'm happier that way, as, no doubt, others are in not using it.

When I first joined, I did block people who scored me lower than a 4, not because I minded other people seeing how crap my stuff was, but because I didn't want to be reminded of what I already knew.LG1eiTpeqNdjWCwm I thought being deemed "average" was terrible, but I revised that reason a long time ago, and now I don't even remember to look, if I do manage to write. I write when I am able to. If people enjoyed reading it, that's wonderful, but not my reason for being here.

A few months back, I blocked somebody because I could no longer bear to read their forum posts, but still valued their feedback on some work. I decided, in the end, that if I couldn't stand their nature to the point I found it upsetting, then I should be pro-active, regardless of one benefit. I think we're both the better for it.

And finally, I have some blocked because the nature of my medicine makes moving avatars, signatures and pictures so great a distraction that I struggle to concentrate on the letters and reading. It creates severe visual disturbances that cause headaches, and my eyes to roll around like Cookie Monster's. I have to cover the screen where the emoticons are, too. I mentioned it in the forums once, and one asshole deliberately changed their avatar to prove them the rim-cheese they are. I was hoping the block would hide the moving personalisations, but it hasn't yet (and in any case, only applies to certain members' accounts, not all). I live in hope...

I am just curious too ask if you this
since im a virgin and and very unexperience - all i do is watch porn and rub myself
But are their other things a girl/guy too do sexual withou going too far and still have sexual fun together and get off
i ask this cause i have been dating this guy for a few weeks now and i want too to take things up a notch
but i dont know how and dont know what things we could do besides Kissing and holding hands
and of the thought of do more than kissing and holding hands excites me
i am very curious too what i can do too make this special guy in my life feel good
any advice for this 25 year old virgin
Thank you and sorry for sounding so weird about it i feel embrassed asking but i really need
some tips and advice since im not ready for sexual intercourse
i know i want too try oral with him but what are some other methonds too making him feel good
and me feel good of course, that is if im good too him lol ;)

PS you can chat with me on here just PM me when im online i love meeting new people



EDIT: OMG. That'll teach me not to bother reading the whole thread, or checking the date. Ah well. it's shown me how far I've come in my own journey, I suppose.




To start with, I suggest massaging each other for the intimacy and exploring physical feelings, either partially or fully naked, and when you feel closer and have found some things you like, try some fingering fun (not necessarily fingers going in holes, just so you know!). After that, you can try with mouths on various body parts, and see how that goes, Have fun. Find where your boundaries are, what you both like and dislike, and have a laugh doing it. Make sure you talk to each other, what you love, how you like it, what's not so great. Find out by starting somewhere easy. Some things are funny, some things are painful, some things are amazing. It's all a journey, whatever you do. As long as you enjoy doing it together, then it's up to you how fast or slow you go.

If you want to go full-on and get proper physical immediately, you can get some great ideas from reading the stories here. ADVERT ALERT, sorry! "Guided masturbation" stories can give you a good idea without penetration, as well as stories with good foreplay. Instead of letting him do his own hand job, do it for him. There's a guided masturbation piece I wrote here, but there are other authors with much better experience than mine you could read: https://www.lushstories.com/stories/masturbation/quick-slick-wank.aspx

I wrote a little piece a while ago, on how to make a virgin orgasm (it also works on some non-virgins too), if you want some idea of what you can look forward to. It might give you some ideas (or not!). https://www.lushstories.com/stories/masturbation/how-to-make-a-virgin-orgasm-in-under.aspx

GOOD LUCK!

On font colors. I am dyslexic. Some colors are just fine such as medium or dark brown and red (but annoying). I can even read purple as long as it is dark enough. But medium and light blues and in particularly green make me want to scream. Those colors seriously jumble up anything I am trying to read so badly that if someone used them in their bio and all, I would have to completely ignore them. And I would ignore orange on general principal.


Sorry, I didn't know it affected you. My mates with dyslexia use an orange sheet over the screen, or pink glasses. I've always used a green font on the sites I use, and nobody's mentioned it before. But now I know.

Sorry, I really don't know the best part of the forum to put this in, and sorry if there"s another thread elsewhere!

I just read this:

http://metro.co.uk/2016/11/21/plan-to-block-porn-websites-to-go-ahead-government-confirms-6272574/

"Plans to block all porn websites in Britain if they don’t provide an age verification system are to go ahead – despite protests from privacy groups.

The move would see websites blocked by ISPs and mobile companies if they don’t put in place an age verification system.

But privacy groups have warned that has warned that efforts to verify people’s age could lead to ‘lists’ of users of porn sites – and be vulnerable to ‘Ashley Madison’ style leaks.

Culture Secretary Karen Bradley said the move would protect children from “harmful pornographic content” and fulfil a Conservative manifesto promise.

The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), the age verification regulator, will be given powers to make internet service providers block porn sites which do not put age checks in place to make them inaccessible to children.

Ms Bradley said: ‘We made a promise to keep children safe from harmful pornographic content online and that is exactly what we are doing.

‘Only adults should be allowed to view such content and we have appointed a regulator, BBFC, to make sure the right age checks are in place to make that happen.

‘If sites refuse to comply, they should be blocked.

The powers will be brought forward in amendments to the Digital Economy Bill later this month.

They will allow the BBFC to issue a notice to internet service providers, and those that cover mobile network operators, to prevent access to websites that have no or inadequate age verification for porn."


How will Lush look to implement these checks, since I'm pretty sure this sexy site won't be overlooked. I don't know how it's meant to work, whether there will be standard things you have to do, or certain information we must supply. I'm not sure what "proof" may be required. I have no problem with Nicola and Gav knowing my personal details (not very interesting), but I know others will, and will have questions about potential data leaks.

I'm not sure if site owners have had formal correspondance about this yet, or if it will be a rolling programme, if it does come to pass in reality.

I went out today. It was horrible.

One of the most beautiful places where I live, and it was so horribly beautiful that I cried with the weight of it in my eyes. And now I am back home again, and the grandfather clock has been wound up yet again, and is ticking tocking ticking tocking incessantly and dinging every dinging hour on the dinging fucking horrible hour, and it's so horrible that I keep crying. It's driving me crazy, and the clock-winder just doesn't understand why I'm so anxious about. And neither do I.

I know there will be a Better Day. But it's not today.
