I am relativey new to Lush but I've noticed this forum always has many more viewers than Ask the Guys. Also the number of topics is more than triple. Is it because you like to get your point across or is it the guys trying to find out how you think?


Perhaps you should be asking the guys that question. Many of the questions asked are from them.

I'm sure our resident statisticians could give you the figures, but I believe that the majority of Lush members are male. And males often have a lot of questions that range from "What colour panties do you wear?", "How big are your boobies?", and "Do you shave your pussy?", to "How should I lick out my lover?" and "Do you trim or shave?" (the pubic hair question is a regular).

Some posters seem to ask their question for vicarious thrills or wanking material, and even potential cyber sex partners. Others seem to ask because they are bemused or wanting to understand. Some ask because they want to compare their own experiences. Others ask because they genuinely want to know the answers to sometimes very basic questions (that's why I joined myself).

Of course we reply, because most of us are glad to help. Some of us like to tease, and some of us have little patience. But ask a question, and you'll undoubtedly get some sort of answer eventually. So men usually ask, and women often ask, and both men and women reply.

I will only ask a question of the guys if I don't feel too embarassed, or if I want a broad range of opinions. It can be difficult getting answers from them sometimes. Maybe they're too busy reading over here to bother about what's written over there. I end up asking one or two male friends privately instead.

Will future gav hips move faster by any chance?


Actually, when I'm using my Shiny to browse, sometimes, all the gifs move triple speed. I stare at Gav for hours on some days...

I only regret one post that I made recently, and only because I was misunderstood by people I thought would be the very ones to understand. I won't make that mistake again.

Everything else made sense to me at the time (unless the painkillers had kicked in). I always have to correct my spelling mistakes if I see them, though.
Quote by Mazza


Maybe we could 'group' our friends and have our favourites all together - the ones we communicate with regularly - then choose how we want to interact with them?

I'd like it if Gav could fix it for me to be invisible in real life too? I like the ghosting thing...

I wondered if it would be possible to make it easier to move and order the stories that we've written? Maybe to be able to group and select more than one at a time rather than having to click and move them one by one? Or maybe even to be able to drag and drop them?

It would be helpful if in the "my stories" section of our accounts, we could maybe see the stats of the stories - in the same way that you can see the votes/scores/views etc if you click on a user's stories?



We can drag and drop them with the mouse on the pooter in the "My Stories" list. Or, we could the other day...

I just can't do that using my Shiny.

I thought this was a interesting comment from a concerned, sexy, compassionate lady. I was impressed she would enter this subject. Guess the readers here are too young and self centered to respond to the interests of us elder folks. Sorry I asked for comments.


At first, I didn't know what E.D. was. I was all, Elderly Dame (somebody with a wife but looking for spice)? Etching Damsel (into metal work)? Easy Doll (laid-back and relaxed lady)?

But now I know, yes, it is an interesting comment. I wondered what sort of site the dating site was, whether it was all just for that sort of relationship, or just normal every-day sorts where sex is just a part of life, rather than the focus. Either way, she sounds like she's open-minded and up for a good time (even if the lad is unable to be), and is kind and patient (which can only be a good thing, and helpful with that sort of problem). So my comment is, why not get to know her? You won't know more about her until you converse with her a bit more.

As far as an introduction to herself goes, forthright can be a good start, and set somebody's mind at ease if that was a worry for them.

Daisy, currently we allow poems as long as they at tagged with an tag warning readers that there is incesty stuff in them - sorry, i missed that bit in your previous posts. smile


Thank you for your reply.
Quote by MonicaVon
I would take down his license number, get out of the cab and file a formal complaint.


So would I!
There aren't enough superlatives to express my delight at reading this. "Thank you and well done" doesn't come anywhere close, but it must suffice!
I hate you. I actually fucking hate you. I hate you almost as much as I fucking hate myself, and way more than you are capable of hating me. What the fucking hell on this nasty, vicious earth is wrong with you?!

All those fucking years of sacrificing and running myself into the ground, and for what? Making a difference? Making sure nobody else ended up this way? It doesn't make a fucking difference. All you care about is what you want and what you have, never mind anybody else. It's all about you looking that way and me not looking that way, and you being a better person because of what you physically look like and what I don't.

I actually sincerely hope that your face is disfigured beyond your own control. I actually truly hope that somebody takes a rusty saw and hacks through your heel tendons. I hope they make a gauntlet of rusty nails and claw their way into your spine to rip out all the nerve endings and leaving raw edges. And after that, I hope they claw their way into your chest and rip out whatever shitty lame excuse you have for a heart, and fill your brain cavity with your own shit and the spit you shower me with. I hope that somehow, as soon as possible, you are torn to shreds and kicked into the void that is yourself. I hope you see yourself as you see me, and ten thousand times worse, and still it will not be as I see myself. But if I could make you feel it just for an hour, enough to make you wish you were dead and try to do it, I would feel some kind of gladness. And I will fucking bring you back to re-live the fucking pain.

I have fought for too long to try to see things from your point of view, to make excuses for my existence because it fucking offends you, and if I could tear your eyes out and rip out your tongue and burn them under your fucking perfect nose, I would do it. All the things that I have seen and felt and known and experienced, I wish them upon your life a thousand-fold. I wish you ill. I really, actually, truly do. And if you ever have the gall left to come crawling to me for help, I will kick it out of you with the rest of the shit that flows from your mouth.

And more, I shall laugh. I will laugh. I will laugh in your fucking face and tell you how worthless, ugly, shitty and despised you are. And I will tell you that you deserve it, and we will both know the truth of it. You do.

You are evil. You are the face of ugliness and I hope that every single fucking day that you look in the mirror, you cannot resist the urge to claw it from your skull because of how fucking ugly you are. I hope that your kneecaps are crushed or shot and that you turn into the same fucking heaving, wobbling, roiling mass of blubber and shit that I am, and that no matter what you do, how much effort you put into trying to lose weight, you get fatter and fatter until children laugh at you in the street, and people like you spit on you, throw you on the ground and punch you, just because of how you look so fucking fat and ugly.

And I hope that in the darkness, he comes for you. I hope that he holds your mouth shut and does the same to you. I hope he rips the life and whatever vestige of soul you might have out of you and pins it to the ground with that rusty knife. I hope you fucking suffer. I really, truly do.

What is the point? Who fucking cares? If wishes came true, you would fucking care. You would care so fucking much that you would cry blood and sweat, and throw yourself into the fires. I may not look like you, or be as wonderful as you, but I can fucking wish so much harder than you, and the act of will can be much stronger than your fucking narcissism. Watch your mouth and your back, you bastard. He's coming for you, and I will be standing by laughing.

When I try to create a new thread or post pictures to an existing thread my button to upload pictures from my HD dissapears, and I do not know how to use the button to post a link.


Hmmm, that's odd. You have enough posts (over twenty) to add those things now. I would try clearing your cache and cookies, and attempting it again. Then try using the Contact Us button: http://www.lushstories.com/contact-us.aspx Good luck!

Sorry for the off-topic post.
Quote by DirtyMartini


What do you mean isn't allowed in the poetry category? Why, some of the most classic poems in that category are all about , and just like the stories on this here fine site, they get more views than everything else combined...

Why, I'll have you know that the most viewed poem on this fine site known throughout the world as Lush Stories is called " Is Best"...here, I'll make it easy for you to find...

Is Best
http://www.lushstories.com/stories/love-poems/incest-is-best.aspx

And thanks for the kind words there Royal Rachel, though I know you just like that poem I posted here because it mentions ginger...maybe I will submit it...if you give it a Recommended Read...


That may be the case, DM, but during the time that I was mod, poems that were outrightly weren't allowed. This was for various reasons which are not what this thread is about, but the biggest reason, as I recall, was so that people had the choice whether or not to read material. There is a category specifically for that.

It may be that the current mods didn't think my questioning worth answering, or overlooked it, but I would like an answer to that question regarding the poetry focus.

Lush did publish certain things at one time, but with growth and changing needs, other things were or were not allowed, and are constantly under review, even now.

This issue is very black and white to me. Either it is allowed or it isn't, whatever the skill of the author. That's all I want to know.

The only willy I've ever had in my mouth was curved to one side, and it was as lovely as the lad it was attached to. I didn't have sex with him, but I'm sure it would have been wonderful.
Quote by dpw

That quote has been clipped and taken out of context. If you read the whole thing I'm saying that in a LGBT forum don't seem to be bothered to post, THAT is what makes it worse. Take for instance Ask The Guys, if 80% of the posts were from girls surely it becomes Ask The Girls by default.


I clipped your post so that you could see what I was specifically referring to.

Since the title of your thread vociferously asks "what the fuck is wrong with the LBGT members (nothing, in my opinion, in the majority of cases), and your previous sentences of that quote had said that the lack of LBGT people posting made the forum look vacuous (a word with hugely negative connotations), quickly followed by the sentence I quoted, it naturally follows that it was meant negatively. It would be nice to think your enthusiasm had lead to your posting style being misread, but I've drawn a different conclusion from all your other responses, sadly.

So you think LBGT people haven't posted here because they "can't be bothered"? I can't answer that one for you, but I know how I'd feel about that assertion put like that.

As has already been pointed out to you, this is still a new section, just beginning to grow. It's good to see you taking the advice of a previous poster and starting up new threads.

But no, the "Ask the Guys" section does not make it "Ask the Girls" by default. It is still "Ask the Guys". A poster need only sift through the posts to start finding their answers. I welcome answers from anybody helpful, since their experiences have often been enriching. And since many Lush females on here are purported to be male anyway, that would make the reply posters in "Ask the Guys" 30% female (or thereabouts).

You'll be glad to know (as I am) that you and I are done here.

By the way, how come there is no section to post gay pics, nor there is a possibility to open the section?


Any sexy pictures can go in the Sexy Pics/Videos forum. http://www.lushstories.com/forum/yaf_topics12_Sexy-Pics--Videos.aspx

However, general site rules apply, so no erections, explicit penetration, etc. If you want to share more hardcore photos, you can use the This is Hardcore forum. http://www.lushstories.com/forum/yaf_topics50_Sexy-Pics.aspx

I don't believe there are any specifically gay threads yet, but I might be wrong (I don't visit that part of the site much), which is why there is a profusion of others, but feel free to change that if you would like. I'm happy to start off a thread for you if you wish.

What makes it worse is straight members have no problem posting here.


Quote by dpw

I have no intention of alienating anybody, I enjoy reading all comments.


Your first quote has already alienated me because I'm straight and have no problem posting here. I make it worse for you? Good.

Quote by dpw
I just happen to think that the forum is a fantastic place that is under used by the LGBT members. Even as I write this 22 people viewed but only 4 comments, I want everyone to say something, anything!


Do people need to prove their sexuality before being allowed to post here? Am I not allowed to ask questions or share experiences because my sexual preferences are different to yours? Your vehement suggestion that another member is copping out because she agrees with a previous poster makes you seem antagonistic and narrow-minded. I thought part of the point of forums like this was to help us widen our views and experiences. My bad.

Keep your thread, then. I don't want any part of it with an attitide like you've demonstrated here after this post. But I'm not so narrow-minded as to think all people of different sexualities have the same effect on the forum as you seem to think people of my sexuality do. So I'll contribute to other threads if I want to.

There's nothing wrong with being keen to encourage others, but your posts in this thread so far would make me want to run away if I was "allowed" to post without making it "worse" for you. I'd like to think this episode was a misunderstanding.

I had a go. I reckon I'll get at least three replies, and one of them might even take pity on me.

Great idea, but how I would miss those mass PMs when guys perv on every woman on their friends' list.


I could write you some, and send them randomly, if you like?
Quote by GingerKitty
I was trying to send a message to someone and I was told that I had exceeded my daily message limit. I'd sent a group message to all my friends promoting my new story which I have written with Poppet, which went out to 100 odd friends. So, what's the daily message limit? And when was it brought in?


Some of us got that message twice.

I asked Gav if there could be an option that we could choose that meant we never get mass PMs from anybody, but apparently even he can't do the impossible. It's like finding out that the Great and Powerful Oz is a little old man with a microphone and a screen to hide behind. Amazing imagination and stunning talents, but limited by reality. *sigh*

Quote by Magical_felix

You answer all your own concerns in this thread anyway. Do you really need people to tell you that it's ridiculous for anyone to act in the way this person did after 5 casual conversations?


I believe that Felix may be referring to this:

Quote by littlebirdie92




Trolls not welcome


You've managed to be "confrontational" of a sorts with Felix in the past, and state (in whatever way) that you don't want his input. However, the premise of this thread regards somebody who is, in your eyes, on the same level.

So again, I would ask you to look at yourself and examine how you see yourself. Does a label of "Dom" negate being treated kindly and respectfully? No. Just because you have chosen a particular lifestyle, it doesn't mean that you are subservient to random people that you've briefly met to your own detriment.

Turn this exchange on its head, and see if there are truths you can garner from it. Maybe yes, maybe no. But please do see that you are able to deal with people you don't like. Take the label of "Dom" off a man and ask yourself if they are worthy of respect. If the answer is no, then so much more should it apply to so-called Dom!
Quote by littlebirdie92




It may be a personal issue mixed in with the lifestyle? Idk. In general I avoid situations when I need to confront someone about something and I get really bad anxiety sometimes when I am confronted. I don't always avoid things like that but I do more than I'd like to admit to. Its also why when I do say something back, it sounds kinda childish. I'm just not that kind of person to be 'all up in yo face'. That might be part of why I just feel so off about the whole thing.

It makes me very uncomfortable to tell a Dom (who is mine or not) something against their wishes or a simple no. I'm sure even if you ask PM, he will tell you. It took me a very long time for me to be okay with just safe words and using them when I should. Because I thought 'oh its wrong for me to take control of that, because I can't make those calls'

So like in this situation. My thoughts are, I know for a fact that I didn't do anything wrong with talking and being friendly. But is he right? Was I wrong to talk to other people without his permission because we have been talking so frequently, even tho we never said I was his? I just end up over-thinking, and double -thinking, It kinda sucks.

I did tell him I'm not interested anymore. I actually ended up telling him its cause I have school and I need to focus on passing midterms. I didn't even address the issue when I talked to him. I was just so intimidated and kinda embarrassed to bring it up.

oh well hes blocked now.



Thank you for replying. If it helps, I overthink too many things too. I get myself too upset and in a real pickle at times. As soon as your alarm bells or emotions go haywire, it's time to step back so that you have space to think logically.

This guy was not your dom. If you hadn't discussed and agreed that you would fully become his sub, then you weren't.

Regardless of any relationship agreement, just because a person calls themselves a dom, it DOES NOT GIVE THEM THE RIGHT TO ABUSE YOU, ORDER YOU AROUND, OR SAY WHO YOU CAN/CAN'T TALK TO, OR HOW/WHEN. Sorry about the capitals, but I am actually shouting it towards you.

You may not like confrontation. Fine. You may choose to submit yourself to another person's authority. But you are not a piece of crap or a doormat. You are a human being who deserves respect.

A true Dom, as I have read, will treat you as a precious woman. Not a thing to order around to prove to themselves that they can do what they like. From what I have read, a true Dom does not manipulate, abuse, endanger, deride or harm his sub. He cherishes her and guides her with respect.

That person you had the misfortune to spend time with showed his true colours, as all abusers and knobheads eventually do. He was neither a Dom, nor a real man.

Please, do not allow low self-esteem, fear of confrontation and misguided "humility" to put you in a position of letting fools abuse you. Try to see it as keeping yourself safe for whomever you eventually choose to give your heart to.

A real man, and a true Dom, will allow you time and space to step back and evaluate their words. Somebidy with a false sense of ownership on a power trip will only hurt and abuse you. Take your time and do not let anybody push you.

Perhaps you could message somebody on here that you do trust for help? There are both doms/dommes and subs on here who have healthy respect for themselves and others that I am sure would be glad to help you, with a more profound knowledge of the lifestyle than I have.

But please do not fool yourself into thinking your submissive side is a licence for others to abuse you. It isn't.
Quote by littlebirdie92


Technically yes, but I would feel broken like I stated above


I'm afraid I'm getting rather confused.

The doms I have had a small amount of conversation with in private, or have any respect for in the forums, are usually the first to say that a submissive has a choice in who they submit to. And if you are not somebody's personal sub, then you have no obligation to them whatsoever.

The scarce times I've been in a chatroom with doms and subs, I was both amused and encouraged to see how they spoke to everybody with almost Victorian courtesy and respect. There's nowt wrong with being polite to people, and it just seemed like a very formal way of doing so. The doms were very kind to all the subs, whether they were theirs or not. That's why I felt comfortable to be there.

You can treat doms with respect, and it's fine. I think that everybody deserves respect until they prove otherwise. But you owe them nothing if they are not your dom, surely? How does their lack of respect for you negate you withdrawing yours when they clearly do not and should not deserve it in return on a basic human level?

How would it make you feel broken to say, "I'm sorry, Sir (or Asshole, if you desire), but I am not your sub, you do not own me, and I am free to act as I please and choose until I find a Master to whom I shall choose to belong and submit. You(r ignorant ass is/) are now blocked"? Is this a lifestyle issue, or a personal issue that you should perhaps tackle?

I don't see why you can't still show respect without telling somebody to eff off politely and ignoring their input into your life. You could practice on Felix. Anybody who cares about another human's emotions would surely agree with that, dom or not? Or maybe I understand even less of your lifestyle than I thought.

Quote by AustinJ18
I don't want her to be interested in guys cause there are some really shitty guys out there as you all know. So how weird is it that I would rather her be lesbian? I don't think its weird at all but when I tell other people that they look at me like I'm crazy. What do you guys think?


I am sure that each of us would want our offspring to be a particular something or someone, based on our own ideals. But in raising a child, one must also remember that they are their own person, with their own character, personality, biology and emotions. You cannot make somebody something they are not, nor successfully change them.

Rather than trying to protect her, which is, I think, the focus of your preferred sexuality for her, instead look to the ways that you could teach her to be secure in herself, and how to react to the people around her. Teach her joy and wonder in the world around her. Allow her to make mistakes and friendships and space to spend time with people. Teach her her own self worth and help her pick up the pieces when she and her best friend fall out during playground time.

Yes, protect her. But don't think that her sexuality will keep her safe. It's how she chooses to deal with heartache and build or end relationships that will protect her, not you trying to keep her away from idiots. I know some immensely nasty and cruel women. If you knew them, perhaps you would wish your potential daughter had no sexuality at all.

Interpersonal skills, boundaries, communication and discernment are what will help keep her safe. Help her to explore who she is and how she will deal with the people around her. Don't think her sexuality will keep her safe from idiots. It won't. Ever.

I wouldn't crap on anyone for their politics, just cos I didn't agree with them.

But I would crap on Justin Bieber. Do I need to give a reason lol?


It's not for their politics I disagreed with that I'd be crapping on them. It's for the lying, cover-ups, and stuff-the-vulnerable-as-long-as-my-mates-are-okay actions. If any politician doesn't do that, then they'd have nothing to fear.
Quote by DanielleX
It can be someone you know or someone in the public gaze...

If I were a sea gull, I'd poo on Michael Gove's head. Not for political reasons, but because he's just creepy.


Many people believe that getting pooed on by a bird is lucky (to do with good fortune being given in return for the crap, or blessings from Heaven coming your way).

So rather than being a shitehawk (as fishermen round here call gulls), I would much rather be an elephant with the squits crapping on people I don't like. And I have long list, starting with politicians, two groups of "organised" racists, and people who judge and say cruel things about other people who don't look the way they think they ought to.

I poked around into this a little further, and it turns out that it's an e-publisher in New Jersey, specialising in niche erotica. They're offering $50 for exclusive rights to at least 5,000 words on a specific subject, with no back end.

It sounds pretty grim, but there's opportunity for a better deal if I can produce high quality work. Kind of a try out arrangement.

The first project is a werewolf romance, with BBW, reluctance and breeding themes, written in female first person. Not one to back down from a challenge, I'm going to give it a go. Worst case, it's a couple of weeks wasted...

I'll let you know how it works out. Wish me luck.


Do you get paid in advance, or at least a deposit?

I don't understand ghostwriting. Wouldn't you want your name or pen name on your own work somewhere? You do all the hard work and somebody else gets the credit, with the best being a small flat fee and possibly a tiny mention tucked away somewhere. It's fine if you want to do it, but I'm unsure about people who cash in on another person's talents. I think it's pathetic on their part not to give you credit, whatever the project is.

Good luck!

One of them would absolutely kill me.

I told different one the other day in case they found out by another source that I had no control over. They thought it was very funny, and asked if I had written "Fifty Shades of Ginger" yet. I amused them by telling them about my gingerbread man story.

I wouldn't tell any other family members until the first one is no longer with us, and then only to explain why they can't read any of the stories I edit. I don't want my family to read this part of my life, and only a few select friends have any links to the site. This is private for me.

Quote by Mysteria27
I just mean that my poetry rhymes in two lines. I set up a whole story. It is always erotic.

Some moderators like that way others do not.

The people that read my work seem to like that style as well.

I am not that deep of a person to do some of the harder types of poetry.

I am not a writer by trade. It's purely a hobby.



I do it for fun as well. Some rhyme, some don't. As I said, if you have issue with a moderator's decision, ask them about it, or send a message to one you trust and talk it over, if you think it depends who you get.

Quote by Mysteria27
It seems though when you write erotic poems they say it doesn't fit in the love poems category. Then you write a love poem and they say not enough erotica.

I like poetry like how dirty martini writes it. Funny and erotic.

But that doesn't seem to pass through anymore.

I know I tend to write two line poetry and some goes through but a lot they say belongs in the poetry corner.

Some moderators approve them others don't like that style of poetry. Even though they are erotic poems.



The title, "Love Poems" began that way, but has has grown to include all sorts. It's a liquorice category.

A poem's "quality" can rely on many things. Yes, sometimes it does depend on the moderator who happens to read that piece being able to recognise it as a finely crafted poem. But it also relies on it being just that. As authors, we believe that most, if not all, of what we do is fine showcase stuff. But the crowds will usually tell us differently, particularly when it is submitted to a place where the pieces must meet certain qualities and merits to pass muster. That's the price of entering somebody else's arena, rather than creating our own.

An author may write a poem that is screamingly funny and have it passed, but it might also be rejected for being utterly ridiculous. It all depends on how the piece comes across. I have one that I thought was utterly ridiculous, but I sent it in anyway. I got more messages over how erotic people thought that was than any other poem I have written.

Likewise, a serious piece can seem dark, ugly and not erotic at all. A moderator will look for "flavour", the atmosphere of the piece. Much of my poetry is what I glibly term depressing, but it speaks (I hope) of sexual tension, longing and desire. Perhaps it does not belong here. Some of it is raw, powerful and intense from this writer's point of view, or silly and trite, but fun. But at some point, somebody has agreed that it does belong. I tailor what I write for this site, or put it elsewhere (Facebook or Storiesspace.com).

I can "knock out poetry easily", because it is a natural way for me to write. But it takes energy, intensity, emotion and focus to do it. If a reader is faced with a two-sentence poem, it had better be ground-breaking stuff to pass muster. I don't doubt that most people, given enough time and energy, could do such a thing, but it is highly unlikely.

If you want to question a moderator's decision, then take it up with them. Or, use the Poetry Corner as directed, and save the publication for your more expanded work that people can savour and mull over. Quality is not always the overriding factor on quantity. The two need to go hand-in-hand, usually.
