I'm kind of curious about this now, haha.

I thought it was very good, and extremely useful. I already sent somebody the link, but it was blank before they got here. I knew I shoild have quoted it!

Quote by Redrockx
Has anyone written anything about 'pompoir'? For those unfamiliar with it, here's a link: I've been lucky enough to have been with a few women who had mastered it, and it is unlike any other sex. But I've never come across any erotica featuring it.

Perhaps someone can help?

Thanks,

R.

the word is so out there if i tell you im 25 still virgin what would you say?

not for the lack wanting to lose it just led a very conservative upbringing told sex should be between ones you love, so yeah i get that but i just have needs, and closeted because of certain health issues arthritus for one,

i fell like am an alien in world sexual people i have no confidence at all so any advice help out there am a pretty good girl but naughty when doors closed dont i wish i had a teacher to teach me sigh i feel like such a loser

I would say, you are not alone. There are plenty of virgins on Lush, and in the world. Some lurk, some advertise, some are bothered, some aren't.

When I joined Lush, it was to learn more about what "normal" people experience as part of every day life. For whatever reasons (some the same as yours, by your account), I never had the opportunity to explore like most other people do.

You aren't a loser, even if you feel like it. I think you are lonely, and feel unwanted.

But it isn't always a reflection on you, just because you never had the opportunities or confidence, or whatever. Since I joined Lush, I have learned not only about sex, ways to do it (or not), helpful tips and advice, but I have also been able to explore how other people work psychologically and physically, how I feel about certain subjects, and most of all, about myself. I am clearer now on what I may or may not like, and through a few very close friends, I am slowly gaining a little confidence in both how I feel about myself, how I understand others see me, and how I feel about my body.

I say, stick around! Read. Chat. Think. Maybe write. That's how I usually explore my own feelings, or try to understand others. See the site as a journey of fun and exploration, because it might just be a "safe" way to begin your journey into not being a virgin any more, if that's what you wish.

And no doubt you will have plenty of people lining up to teach you various things here! Be careful.

I think she meant to reply to some other guy's thread about fantasizing about an ex. Perhaps she hasn't gotten the hang of the forums just yet.

If you wanna reply to a topic, simply click it and hit reply. If you find yourself entering a subject line, then you're creating your own thread instead of replying to an inquiry. Hope this helps.

Top stuff. That rogue "New Topic" button within threads still catches me out sometimes.

The still applies, though.

Sadly, I do. It's been rough and I try to get over it but sometimes I think it won't pass and I'll always still have feelings for him. He was my first love.... And as slutty as I have become since him no guy has taken his place

Quote by sprite


oh, yeah, totally within your rights, tho really, look at it a bit differently, why? all the threads on here and i'm thinking to myself, yeah, it's probably pretty safe to take a shot at the fashion thread, cause it's shallow. everyone loves entertainment, and taking a shot at the LGBT thread wouldn't look good, but fashion? yeah, totally fine. i'm not sure how it's so in your face that it would annoy you so? are you getting all the posts on your timeline or something? i'm seriously trying to help you out here, btw, not being a bitch - but really, there are TONS of posts in the gaming section and i am never bombarded by them, so maybe it has to do with something in your settings that you can change? other then that, it's just one little section on a page, looks the same as any other section save for the name and i'm not really sure how it's annoying, quite honestly. maybe i'm just being blonde today.

Quote by sprite


a few thoughts after just finishing cleaning out my cat boxes while looking glam in my Zoya Manhattan Mixer nail polish...

on glasses, so as not to get too far off topic. over the past few years i've started having to rely on reading glasses more and more, and have been told that, eventually, it will become a permenant thing - my wife tells me that i look sexy in them, and i get it, when i see her pull hers out and reading too - we've been sort of brainwashed, for want of a better term, to think that smart people wear glasses and honestly, smart girls are sexy - most of my good friends are smarties here, in fact, something that is incredibly sexy and when you're communicating via text mostly, it's all you have to go by. my wife is an alumni of UC Berkeley, very prestigious, i know, and i'm very proud of her, just like i am proud of the women i know who are going or have graduated from college and doing something huge with their lives... maybe kids don't get that, but adults do, so yeah, i equate it with looking smart and classy and by extention, very sexy.

fashion in general. i like fashion. in some things, i can be very girly. i spearheaded the En Vogue section because i thought it would be a welcome change for those of us who aren't into the games or the ask the girls questions about cock size and all that - and that's all fine, everyone should have something here that they really get into and can have fun with - thought it would be fun for some of the girls and boys as well to be able to talk fashion - mostly it was me sort of riffing off my love for nail polish, but i'm glad that it seems to be going over well with others and i'm learning some stuff from it too!

yes, this is Lush stories. not everything, however needs to be about stories (i could easily argue that this is helpful if you want to write something that feels real... details such as the color of her lips, her nails, what she is wearing could be pulled out of this section quickly).

like i said, i don't read or have an interest in all the sections here - my news feed, btw, only consists of topics i'm quoted on, so i don't usually see much of anything about threads i have no interest on - that said, it's kind of fun to keep a finger on the pulse of what is going on around here by watching what threads are popping up...

so, thank god i'm pretty so every skill that i have will be questioned - lucky i don't like to be taken seriously, ya know? here's the thing. i was born looking how i look and it's fun to play with fashion, to find ways to look pretty because it makes me happy. sorry if that sounds shallow, but it's how it is. it's a two edge sword at times - i'm often not taken seriously, thought to be shallow, or a mean girl, or just seen as a pretty face instead of a fairly well rounded, bright, creative, compassionate human being. at parties, i have trouble not being talked over when the subject is something serious, because how could my opinion matter? i'm used to it, but it still annoys me. here, though, i get to talk to my heart's content over in the think tank and give my views on weighty matters and then, at the end of the day, i get to go over and bond - and it very much is a social thing, talking to other women about fashions is like guys talking sports or cars - it's something some of us enjoy and feel passionate about. doesn't make me a monster or a ho, at least i don't think so...

what it does do is brighten up my day. i have, like all of us, good days, and bad days. losing myself in something fun, is something i really need. talking to Doll or Dani or any of the women who share this.. well, it's a hobby of sorts... with me makes me happy. if that makes me shallow, then so be it.

btw, i'm not as girly as some think but i DO like my polishes, and i like to wear cute clothes, tho. and even if i was all glam, i wouldn't be ashamed of it - it's sort of like the adult version of dress up and it makes you feel like a kid at times, something we all need, if you ask me. so yeah, so sorry if it's a bore, but let me enjoy my bore in peace. allow me the luxury of being able take a brush to my nails on those days when i am one breath away from taking a razor blade to my wrist and calling it quits and then being able to share that 'obsession' with others. i'm pretty sure it's not hurting anyone, especially since i do my best to avoid non-vegan brands, cause i care about the bunnies!

btw, how can you fault something that allows you to do this?

thanks Ma'am. that was what i thought, but was not sure.

I am assuming if the Avi goes away it means they have deleted the account right.

You're welcome.

Yes, if the avatar disappears and becomes "Guest" on forum posts, they have, indeed, deleted their profile.

Quote by Metilda
This topic stumps me - I've worn glasses since I was only a few months old.

All throughout my childhood and early teen years (1980's and 1990's) I was made fun of for having to wear them. Back then the only ones available were the gawky coke-bottle dork black or brown ones - so I came to hate them pretty quickly.

The thinner the frames, the more invisible they were, the better I felt as I grew up.

I went through the late 1990's up to 2010 without anyone really saying anything about glasses to me after I switched to metal-frames. I wore tiny lenses with thin gold frames. No jokes, no making fun, just no comments. Because of my born hate of glasses I refused to wear anything more noticeable.

I wore the same frames for maybe 10 years.

Then - a few years ago, the frames broke. I had to get new ones. My husband was with me that time. Much to my annoyance almost all frames available in my price range were thick, dorky frames.

I felt stupid trying them all on - and ended up with a pair only because he insisted they look good and I really can't see well without them for very long so I didn't have much of a choice.

I hated them then - and I still hate them - I've had them for 2 years.

But strange thing - people apparently think they're attractive. I've even been given compliments.

What in the HELL happened? I went from being horrendously made fun of because of thick, black frames - to being attractive because of thick, black frames? I don't get it.

It's the same as with body shapes and sizes, and clothing. Everything has seasons when they are "trendy", or not.

Glasses went throuh a stage of being seen as "geek chic", appearing to make the wearer look more intelligent than they really are. It was successful because a lot of the fashion folk care about the look, rather than what comes out of the mouth/brain. You will see this trend often in "sexy secretary/school teacher in tailored suit" or "sexy geek in funny clothing with rumpled hair" settings, typically.

It's good in a way, in that disability aids are seen as trendy (if you can afford those frames), but it also means that those whose childhoods were plagued by bullying because of the need are all, "When did this become acceptable?!" But with the rise of better health care and access for more people, it's something the fashion world has capitalised on.

Some might say that there is nothing wrong with wearing glasses, and that it's simply the style of them that is the issue. We should be "grateful" that they are now "acceptable". That's little comfort if you got picked on, or don't like the current styles, but if you do, yay!

I got contact lenses as soon as I was able to afford them. I hate my glasses, and I can't afford to replace them anyway.

Just as various styles from decades gone ('20s, '40s, '50s and '80s, going by the demands and sewing pattern books) are trendy again, I'm sure there will be a fall in demand for glasses when some designer or corrective surgeon decides they don't look sexy on a person again, and feeds that down to the public. But wait long enough, and they'll be "in" again. There are enough people in the world that you will find pockets of people for and against them all the time.

I loathe fashion and shopping, and I have no interest in somebody else telling me what's "in". I keep trying to hide the section that new "En Vogue" forum is in, but it keeps re-appearing, dammit. If I wanted to discuss that stuff, I would have joined a fashion forum, not Lush Stories. However, enough people are posting in the incessant nail threads that show up on my newsfeed that it is obviously deemed necessary for here. People who follow fashions will love it, but for those of us who like what we have, or dislike the trends of what's in the market, it's just a bore.

But like it or not, we are at the mercy of the majority, whether it's "massive glasses are sexy" or "men should wear more pink", or whatever. We are forced to go with the flow of what those in control of the market choose.

For the last few decades, clothes in the shops never fit me right, and generally look ridiculous. The few things that do look good are out of my price range. We are at the mercy of what the designers think looks good on their models and the current shape that society deems is attractive. We get huge amounts of people coming into our shop to try and alter what they've just bought, because it doesn't fit well, or make their own, because all they can find is very unflattering. These are people of all sizes and shapes.

Some people might say that you now exude confidence, or are sexy, which is why you can now "carry that look off". There's a big difference between being a kid with bad eyesight amongst immature peers, to being a grown woman who is surrounded by mostly more well-rounded sorts of folk.

You can hate your glasses, but if people pay you the compliment, enjoy it. Current compliments are better than past insults, and some get precious few of the former. One day, your smaller, more subtle frames will be back in, and it will be easier to get some and be found just as sexy, I reckon.

thanks for that Daisy - i have come dangerously close to closing this thread in the past - next major infraction it's probably going, not a threat, simply a statement of fact, so please, be respectful of the rules, people.

GRRRRRRR! NO! I fucking neeeeeeeed this!

NOW I'm mad!

Quote by sprite


1) No directing your rage at other members - this is not UFC (sorry, Doll, but it's not!).

2) No directing your rage at the site. Nicola and the mods do an amazing job here and work hard at making it this wonderful and if you don't like it, leave. This is for stuff outside the site. Stuff that you just need to vent about.

3) let it all out about the little things or the big things. That ass who took your parking spot, getting the pink slip, being sick, getting dumped, all of it, just let it go here.

4) You are not allowed to tell anyone not to be angry, to calm down. We feel how we feel. Do not try to reason with the the rage. It needs to be let loose.

5) Don't censor yourself. Let it all out.

6) Be respectful of other peoples rage. Being bitchy in public is scary. Don't belittle anyone. Ok, have fun.

Quote by ElectricOutcast


Sounds about right

You could always do what authors should initially do where they are confused, and ask for clarification from the verifier.

If you are truly struggling, read your story out loud to yourself. This may well throw up some problems.

Then, read your story sentence by sentence. Is that sentence written in past, present, future, or one of those variations? If it differs from the next or previous sentence, that is no doubt where your problem lies, and you can then correct it.

Try your hardest, and re-submit. If it gets rejected again for the same issue, I will help you if you wish. But be warned: I won't just fix it all for you, I will make you work for it.

If you can learn to correct these mistakes yourself, you will find future stories easier to write and get published.

Thanks

You're welcome.

Quote by Desmondo
I am hoping the gals can help me with this.

All of my writing is about masturbation - solo and mutual - and whilst I have witnessed plenty of female orgasms - facial expressions, twitching, leg snapping, body reactions etc - I don't know what it actually feels like simply because I am a bloke. If I was going to be a woman for a day I'd make sure I had one so I could know what the experience feels like.

Any help from lady Lushers would be grateful - different feelings for different things, the speed of the rush, etc etc etc??????? Details details details please

I want to now it all so I can write better

Thanks in advance

Your best bet may be to read stories by female authors, which will give you an overall picture of the detail. Then you can use their emotive language and imagery to help build your own story and shapes from your own empathetic point of view.

Good luck!

Is it ? We are the same age. Seems to have always crossed my mind. Not sure if I could act on it. Yet it's so interestingly intriguing and always has been. Who knew. Thoughts?

A sexual relationship with a second cousin is legal in some countries, and illegal in others. Therefore, it would fall under the category of , which is a subject we are not permitted to discuss on Lush.

I wonder how many lushies would be up for this

Elit, how many times do I have to tell you?! If your ad didn't work in Farty Fetishists Weekly, it's not going to work here!

I'll have a go at the rectal smoking, though...

Quote by saint72
I am starting this topic to seek help from other well season writers or reading moderators here on Lush who would be willing to proof read stories and poems and to get a little more insight on whats wrong.
I do hope this will help others that are seeking help on the same topic.
Thanks,
Trey

Are you thinking of it as a sort of advert thread, where somebody can say they need help and wait for responses, or as a general advice thread? Or both? Or where people willing to help can say they're available?

Quote by Blaize2008
Hello! I just wanted to thank everyone for writing these amazing stories. I cant stop jerking it to all of these amazing wrote stories. I just wanted to let you know you all have a way with words. Thank you for giving me and my friends pleasure. Also for writing out thousands of fantasies I had wanted to do but never did....until now. Thank you so much.

Welcome!

Quote by MasterJonathan
Ok boys and girls, I am taking off the suit for a minute - this "gentleman" is PISSED!!!

I had planned a surprise party thread for My wife similar to what others have done here and in order to get the word out about it in the most expeditious manner, I went into her friends list and bulk mailed her friends inviting them to come see the thread and to add their own wishes. Her and I have not been on Lush for all that long and this was the first time her birthday has come up so I wanted to do something special.

WELL, thanks to a certain FUCK who because of the rules of this thread shall remain nameless (but you know who you are, you no-account SOB), that whole idea is ruined and MY sweet, caring do-anything-for-her-friends wife will not have the surprise that she deserved.

Now I ask you folks, what kind of an ASSHOLE opens their mouth and intentionally ruins a surprise for no other reason that just to fuck up a special day for someone who did nothing to him and just enjoys her friends?

Some of you know My wife Sugarbaby and those of you who do know what I mean. She would give you the shirt off her back. And yet when I tried to do something nice like get her friends together for a surprise birthday thread this FUCK spoiled it.

Well as for you, you piece of shit - you think Master Jonathan is "interesting" NOW?

That's a real shame that somebody was that crap, but this is Lush, after all. All sorts of people are here, and whilst there are wonderful ones who would do virtually anything for us, there are also those who wish to hurt, upset, and abuse other people. Some do it in the forums, disguising it as "witty" banter. Others do it through their stories, calling it "fantasy", which don't make it to the front page, due to rule breaks. And still others do it via private messages and chat, on a more "personal" level.

Whilst you have not named the person, this is still a personal dispute. Whether the mods allow this thread to remain or not will be open to their interpretarion of the site rules.

I would suggest that whilst you are angry, perhaps it will be more beneficial and uplifting for your wife if you plow your energies into creating that birthday thread anyway. She knows it's her birthday. She knows people on Lush often do birthday threads. Why not give her the opportunity to see the joyous side of your character, despite the idiots, and celebrate her birthday without this thread looming over it?

I say, go ahead and do the thread, and don't let your energy be wasted in this way. Stick your fingers up at the secret blabber, and go ahead as planned. If I was your wife, all I would be thinking of was how angry you were, rather than how happy you were trying to make me. My suggestion is to go ahead as planned, without the Thread of Wrath marring the occasion.

I will be glad to contribute to her birthday thread.




EDIT: After the removal to the Rage Cage, that thread's rules state this:

Quote by sprite
Ok, LMB needed a thread to just rage. Here's the rules.

1) No directing your rage at other members - this is not UFC (sorry, Doll, but it's not!).

2) No directing your rage at the site. Nicola and the mods do an amazing job here and work hard at making it this wonderful and if you don't like it, leave. This is for stuff outside the site. Stuff that you just need to vent about.

Welcome to Lush! I used to live in Bolton, but I haven't been to that side of the Pennines for a few years.
