Gingerbread Lover
Quote by John
How do you feel when your lover picks out your clothes, ear rings etc. before making love?

How do you feel when he buys you a sexy, padded bra?

Is he being loving or dominating?


What attitude does he do it with? Is it in a fun, exciting way, or sternly and authoritatively? How often does he do it? Was it agreed beforehand or does he nicely ask if he can?

If he bought me a padded bra he is either blind or has hands like shovels. If it was for a lass who had much smaller boobs than I, I would want to know if she was insecure about them first, because in my opinion, nothing says, "You have tiny boobs" like a padded bra bought as a present! If he likes them smaller and she is happy too, then it shouldn't be a problem.

Again, it's about attitude. But I would say if he wasn't sure, he ought to tread very gently and carefully. Other lasses probably think differently to me, but that's my opinion.

do some women like anal sex because of the proximity of the anus and the vagina in the female body?


I think they like it because there are, like, millions of nerve endings and stuff that feel nice when they get stimulated, and having a willy up there is a bit like having a large, satisfying dump, but hopefully with less poo.

Which do you find more attractive - guys with thin lips or thick, meaty lips? I kinda like thick lipped fella's, they're usually better kissers!


I've only kissed two lads. One had full, thicker lips, the other thin lips.

But both of them were proper good at snogging.

I got a 2 once and they just said, "Stupid." I tried to ask them about it but no response. That really bugged me.


I don't think they were referring to you...

I hear ya. The ass is an exit, not an entrance. As far as guys wearing girls panties, well they have issues then. Personally, I do not own a single pair of mens underwear or anything else. Commando all the way!


Some Commandos are gay. Fact.

Our site was flagged earlier today because someone had hotlinked an image from a "bad" site, which was riddled with malware and flagged as a nasty.

We want to block as many of those sites as we can, and the safest way to do that is using google's own blacklist.

It sounds like there may be a few issues that need ironing out.


What's a hotlink, please? Is it like Photobucket?

yeah, there is a shot of a pussy on page 124 of the post today's pic .... but maybe the issue is cock not pussy to be edited out ... who knows mods have posted on the page so, guess it's just cock shots


Perhaps if you made comment in the appropriate place, certain oversights you are worried about could be dealt with? Just a thought...

I've been raised around marines and they are pretty badass, so whats with all the guys wearing girls underwear and wanting their ass played with?


As others have suggested, there is an awful lot you seem to not know about lads. I have learned a lot about them from reading things on Lush, both through questions I have asked, and questions others have asked. I spend nearly the entire time with my eyebrows raised as I learn more about men and women on here.

And the most important thing that I have learned, is that every idea and way of thinking I have had about people is simply that - my own view and perceptions. Not everything is always as it appears, and certain likes and dislikes cannot be cornered into one box we may choose to put a gender into. Hell, I don't even think there is a box (not a euphemism).

I would recommend you spend some time reading the forums, maybe chatting with a few people, and just do a bit more observation of the world in general.

I know quite a few military people and interact with them regularly both in public and in private, and they are only human. Often the faces some people in certain groups and in certain places show us, are not the central, individual soul of the person, but rather, the group mentality - which makes it easier for us to slap on what we think they should be and how they should behave. If you get to know people (not just Marines) on different levels and in different situations, you may find yourself surprised.

I know this is Ask the guys (sorry, lads!), but as a lass learning a lot about them, I would suggest listen more and label less. Good luck!

Thankfully, I don't know either way. That's thankfully, because I would hate to have one preference, and then be with somebody who has the other. It's not like they could make it there again if it wasn't and it would be unfair to wish it away if it was there.

I like to think I would just be happy that he wanted to share whatever he had with me, personally!

As a rule, I'm not a fan of sequels/prequels (although C.S. Lewis is a god to me). I just don't think they can ever live up to how great a brilliant original was. There are exceptions, obviously.

Somebody suggested I write another story about a couple in one of my first stories, and since I found a little seed of an idea growing, I did write it. It had a lot more interest in a much faster time than the first one did, although that may have been because it was in a different category. I get an idea, maybe a word, phrase or picture in my head; I let it sit a while, and then when the mood takes me, I sit and write and see what happens. I don't plan them out.

But I wouldn't write a sequel for the sake of it, only if the idea had already begun to make itself known would I try. Writing to order is not something I have had to do before, I don't think I would suit the constraints very well (or should that be, the constraints wouldn't suit me?).

Women like a sharp-dressed man (isn't there a song about this? ZZTop or someone). Sad to say, I see an awful lot of men who need a woman to dress them right or face an arrest by the fashion police. Every time I go out in a sport coat and tie or suit, suddenly the women get complimentary and all touchy-feely. If you can throw in a little fashion "style" as well, a classy tie, a pocket handkerchief, vest and pocket watch, something that says "I have my own personality" - you'll be amazed at the responses. Don't dress like a douchbag or a hipster though unless that's your umm "target audience".

So, yeah, some guys need help in the fashion world and if they have a woman with good taste in clothes and the generosity to buy you a wardrobe, go for it.


People in suits and smart jackets scare me. I think it's more correct to say the women you meet like them.

Maybe I just have crap taste in clothes.

I'd like to do it with a virgin, as long as he wasn't shyer than me. He'd have to take the lead, but I wouldn't feel like such a clumsy cow if he didn't have a clue either.

I'm always looking out for and appreciating constructive criticism, but when I think of constructive criticism I think of it actually being helpful, as in the critic will suggest helpful ways to improve one's writing.

The commenter you've used as an example commented with a shallow choice of words. . . "very poorly written". . . "boringly repetitive". . . "knowledge/ability to describe is very limited". Zero helpful comments; total bashing. I agree with you.

I've only posted one story so far in my short tenure here, so I haven't received any negative comments (YET), but I'm sure they'll come.


I agree with this.

Not just on Lush, but if I get criticised for something, I have my cry (and boy, can I cry!), and then I sit back and look at what was said. I ask myself if I can see what the person has pointed out, and if they have good point. If I know that truly they don't (by their language/attitude), I dismiss it.

If I think they do, I ask a friend or two what they think about it.

If the criticism is correct, I then look to see if I can use the feedback, however it was presented, to avoid it in the future. But as a general rule, I look at what the average comments are saying, and go by that.

I also remember that to criticise without being constructive just makes me look like an arse, and I ask myself how I would prefer to read the comment if it was given to me, even if it's not what I wanted.

When I see negative comments/feedback anywhere, I try my best to be constructive if it has a point, or message/speak with the person myself to give them a boost and tell them the truth as I see it.

One can be critical, yes, but one should also not be a complete bumhole about it.

if you don't mind livecam you are good. Otherwise go in the bathroom switch off all lights(it must be complete darkness) bite any finger you want. Suck some blood and ask for the amount of money you want before swallowing. You should find it where you usually keep cash at home or under your pillow. But no need to say you shall deal with extremely negative side effects. Or rather effectively try google ads if you own a popular blog. Hope it was useful.


I have absolutely no idea what you just suggested! I read the words, but...

The comments on this question are more thoughtful than on most forum issues. I suppose the ultimate way to judge a story is by how many times it is read in a given number of months. Even that can be skewed because provocative titles and certain categories are more popular. And some categories have a cult following. Oh well!


But I would mostly like to know how you score a story, please...

Finally, if I do not like a story, I will not rate it with a 1 or a 2. I think such marking is grossly unfair as different readers have different perceptions of each story. Is the glass half full or is it half empty. Just because 99 people love a story shouldn't make that story bad because of 1 person giving it a 1.

I would encourage all the wonderful staff of Lush here to delete scores of 1 and 2 in the voting of stories for this very reason. Amen!


Surely if a reader strongly dislikes a story, it is fair that they can mark accordingly with a 1 or 2? Is it not fair to only allow higher votes?

If indeed, as you request, the system was moved to 1, 2 or 3, would it not follow that it marks like this:

1. Crap/awful/terrible/lowest mark available

2. Average/meh/whatever/fair to middling but more middling

3. Brilliant/perfect/wonderful/can't be improved


Surely with the gradients between 1-5, it is easier to get a clearer picture of where one's story lies? e.g. an average score of 2 would say it isn't diabolical, but there's loads of room for improvement, whereas a 4 would say excellent work but something could have been developed or more attention to a character, etc, could have made it better. A 5 would mean the reader loved the story and wouldn't want anything changed, whereas a 1 would mean for whatever reason, they really hated it.

Every score is the scorer's own view and does not necessarily make the story what that person scored it. Simply, that person sees it the way they do. I LIKE the average scoring, as it gives me a better overview of how people in general like or dislike my work. Based on that, it helps me decide whether I want to PM those who disclosed what they put to get a better idea. I wouldn;t be able to do that with a score of just 1, 2 or 3.




As far as the scores making me more likely to read a story, as some have suggested elsewhere (and is probably a different thread, sorry!), I am more likely to read a story based on low scores, as I will be interested to see why most people disliked it.

I think that unless some kind of programming was written into the site (if it's even possible) that would look at what each of us likes (i.e. category, tag words, score we give it) that would make the site able to predict stories we might like, I can't see how random highly-marked stories is going to make me want to read them. I hate it when things like Facebook predict what I would like to read. This site already has little lists of suggested reading under them - I don't know if that's based on the tag words or categories or titles, though.

I have just realised I need coffee because I have just confused myself. Sorry.

Thank you very much for replying, everybody. I really appreciate it.

I give everybody a 1 unless they pay me...why you ask?

Actually, there's probably more than a couple of threads on the subject...do a search, and see what comes up...


So that's why I hear "DirtyMartini gave me one" bandied about all the time!

I did do a search, and I got bored by page 10, sorry! I found it easier asking directly than trawling through all the posts on other things.




Quote by MuchoCurious
Excellent question/interesting comments. I've wondered why some really weak stories have such high ratings. According to these posts, it's because a lot of people don't rate a story unless they can give a 4 or 5. That tends to invalidate the rating system, but I suppose we're all human and a skewed system should not surprise me.

Here's what I want in a story:
1. I want it to hook me in the first two or three paragraphs.
2. I want to be able to suspend my disbelief and buy into the story.
(My favorite stories are the sexy ones that seem 100% true!)

3. I don't want a story to confuse me.
4. I want it to lead to a climax...maybe in more than one way.
5. I'd like to learn something new or enjoy an interesting twist.
6. Because there are SO MANY stories here, I'd like it to be fast-moving or, at least, not too long.

If it has two of these it's definitely going to get a 4 or 5. If it has none of these I might not read to the end and, therefore, I would not score it.

If I scan through the story to find out the ending I might give it a 1, 2, 3 or 4. I've rated about 10 stories and only given a VERY LOW score once. BTW, I've started reading MANY stories and found myself unable to continue. Those stories didn't get scored. If the rating system were 100% honest I could choose stories based on their rating. Too bad it doesn't work that way.

Should I NOT give low scores to keep from hurting someone's feelings? Well, that could be another forum question.


Do you ever write a comment to explain it? I chose not to insist on a comment for my stuff, although I value them, as I think the more you understand about what people can identify with, the better it can shape you as a writer, even if you don't agree. I also want people to have the freedom of choice, and if they mark me down without giving me comments on how they think it could be better, they either don't think it's possible, or they are content not to care. In which case, I will never be a better writer, so it's their shame, not mine. I know it's down to the writer to put their "goods" (or "bads"!) on display, but without honest feedback, how can one improve when one hasn't a clue?

I would be interested to read that thread!

You are absolutely correct on all points in this post.

I am guilty of being one of those people that is over-generous with scoring sometimes. In fact, I honestly can't remember the last time I gave a story less than a '5' (which is kind of ironic, since some people think I'm one of the 'mean girls' here... pffttt... lol). If the story really deserves a low-score, I probably won't finish reading it and therefore avoid the scoring system, which as you said - contributes to the skewed ratings on some pieces. But I also know that I've seen some writers get really upset when their story gets a mere '4'. I think on a site where a social community becomes part of it and writers become more than just an arbitrary name attached to a piece of writing, you're going to end up with scores getting influenced (either positively or negatively).

For me - I like a well-written story with quality character development and dialogue. I definitely will return to an author's portfolio to read more of their stories if they've hooked me onto their writing/style. Admittedly that makes me very narrow with my reading-targets so those well-earned 5's are easier to hand out. Conversely, I end up missing out on some great gems by new authors that haven't hit my radar yet.


Yes, you are horribly mean. You say true things nicely and stuff. Terrible.

I was really excited to get my first 1, I was all, "YAYYYYY! I'm normal!" because everything can't be perfect all the time. But even with a 5, I'm always wondering, WHY is it a 5? What makes it that way? I think writers (me, anyway) are guilty of over-analysing what other people think of their work. I do worry that people score me higher than they would because they don't want to dent my ego - maybe because I worry too much. But I still think that lower marks mean there is room for improvement. When I see anything lower than a 5 in my own work, I use it to go back through and see if I can view it objectively, and ask friends too. I don't re-write (at the moment), but I try to take it into consideration for the future. That's also why I try to leave a comment on why I did like someone else's work, so they can see what it was I liked about it. If I do get high scores, I also try to work pinpoint why people liked it so I can try to develop that.

I am now reading more stories that have been recommended to me, or by friends who have asked me to. There's some interesting stuff out there...

I would never change a lad's style. He is who he is, and I would want him to be as comfortable as possible. If he wants to look smart or casual, fine. That's his style and how he chooses to express himself. The only thing I would have issue with is if he wasn't clean.

I will not stop wearing knee-length stripy socks, sparkly shoes, black t-shirts and floaty skirts anywhere and everywhere I go (and hoodies when it's cold). I refuse to go to balls and cocktail parties and crap like that because I won't be dictated to. Accept me as I am - as I accept you.

Shadowcat: LOL nice comment on the significant other =P you sound like a tiny little thing at5ft2 lol...but thats a shame that your guy hasnt given you the "stand up" treatment yet haha...maybe a little encouragement is needed ;) just give him a hint haha but ya i agree with you...id love to see proof for myself ;)


You know, as much as my head can get turned by bigger lads, and I thought your avatar was proper nice, I now find it turning a different way for the wrong reasons.

There is a health section if you'd like to explore certain issues more fully?

And to be honest, trying to goad somebody into posting a picture just so one can pick holes in them or try to prove something to oneself is, in my opinion, showing oneself to be the smaller of the two. Sure, if people have had a dig, so be it - couldn't a bigger man let it pass instead of playing along? Just my opinion. But I think your original thread has morphed into something saddening and nasty to watch. So I'm giving up bothering.

Good luck with it.
