He's a freak! Slapped and scraped? WTF? NFW!!!

He might be a freak, but he's a fecking sexy one! If it makes him happy, I'll do it.

Obviously this is a thing most lads don't like, and that's fine. I was just curious, not having a willy of my own to compare his likes with.

Yes, sometimes.
I think at the right angle its actually g-spot stimulation, which can feel like the 'need to pee' sensation.

Thank you. I really appreciate your reply.

Thanks so much for the replies.

He seemed to find it very funny, so I don't think he minded. It definitely wasn't what I'd eaten. I was gagging a lot, but he likes that, so...

Congratulations to the winners and runners up.
I have taken the results of this competition as an indication that my belief that I could write reasonable poetry as a delusion, so I have removed all my poems from public view. I am not sure whether this is because they are technically flawed, or because they are just rubbish. I will publish mo more here.

I'm so sorry that's how you feel. I actually hate competitions, but I enter sometimes, because it amuses me. I am under no illusions that I am the sort of writer who would win such things. Yes, I know some big words, and believe in punctuation. But when I enter a competition, I am simply sticking my fingers up at a personal challenge to my own sad skills. I don't see it as a challenge for my skills against another's even though that's what competitions are supposed to be.

And here's the kicker: it amuses me, because what I enter (in my own mind) is always a piece I write tongue-in-cheek. Sometimes, my poor readers like my daft offerings, and sometimes they don't. And that's okay. I know I can't win, because I'm not what competition winners are about. I'll never truly be in their erotic writer gold prize winning ranks by way of being... well, who I am. But I could be. Maybe. If I practice, and hone, and use failure to fuel my desire to be a good writer, maybe one day I will be a listed winner.

But as it stands, I am a winner because I managed to write a piece, and have it published. I am a champion because something I penned resonated with a small handful of kind readers. Stuff anything else, I'm brilliant because I'm here. I find healing and/or amusement when my health allows me to write. Every piece that I write, whether it is better or worse than my last, and decidedly crapper than Lush winners, is a prize to myself for the difficulty it took to produce it.

Please, use the tumult and storm of passion you feel now to produce more pieces. One day, perhaps what the judges are looking for in a particular competition will be encapsulated in something you produced from the bowels of rage, or the weeping of rejection. You won't know unless you continue on this writer's journey. Never mind other contestants and what they produce - splay your heart and soul across the screen because you can; because you wish to; because you are a winner; because you are a champion.



Well done, not only to the prize winners, but every winner who ever manages to post, whether noted or not.

As a few have mentioned, this has drawn too much heat, unnecessarily.

We are going to change the site set up, so that stories only, will be loaded by default on the front page (this is a story site, the bias is being taken away, and that's not ok). Poems will have their own separate tab, so that those who wish to read only poetry, can click the link.

Members will be able to (coding time permitting) choose in their settings, which loads by default on the main page.

I can't think of a better solution. I do enjoy reading quality poetry, however there has to be a balance.

I think this is a great idea.

There is definitely a divide of sorts between stories and poems. Some can't see the appeal (or skill) in the other genre. However, in my opinion, both have the same, and different, qualities needed for producing Lush's highest standards. They are both art forms that some are (and aren't) proficient in. But I do believe there should be a place for both here, regardless of which type the writers choose.

Since the poetry section has grown so big, so quickly (like a flaccid willy to hard, throbbing cock in seconds), it is going to upset people not to see it on the front page. However, I think that giving it its own "front page" is a step forward for those of us who love poetry. It might not be the first thing people see, but it does have its own recognition. Therefore, I think that the poets would be pleased to see this change as a positive acknowledgement. It is a wonderful change because those who spend weeks and months on stories, but can't see the same work in poetry, should be glad to have that little longer view on Lush's main home page.

As to "emo" poetry, I believe it has its place (half my stuff is downright depressing, and that's just the funny ones). But I also believe in poets taking a journey with their work. Where so many submissions are down or depressing, it can flavour sections. As I see it, Lush is so much to so many. Therefore, whilst "imbalances" are normal, it doesn't hurt to address them.

Sprite, in my opinion, can state her opinion as a member, because she did so. Had she spoken as a mod, she would not have stated it wasn't official. Stuff being labelled a Mod! It doesn't take away your right to have a personal opinion, particularly when it's stated it's personal. If it was a paid, contracted position, unless it said the moderator had no personal preferences allowed, they could still say what they thought. It doesn't mean policy will be swayed by that individual's preference. I know that for definite.

I also know that individual measures on members are thought through, hashed and re-hashed, for the good of not only the site, but each individual using it, whatever position they prefer.

This is the most I've written for over a month, and I'm sure nobody's going to read it all. But this is an achievement for me at the moment, so I'm posting it anyway.

Experiement fail. I shall revert my changes for fear of losing an avid fan.

I love you, Gav. It's hard enough to concentrate without trying to battle twiddly swipey things too. Thank you!

Google has recommended we enable viewport for mobile devices.

For those on mobile, is this better or worse than before?

Sorry, lad, but it's hideous.

It's logging me in squiffy, so I have to zoom out if I want to read the timeline properly. Also, it's taking me twice as long to scroll through the forum listings, and it's almost impossible to see the sections easily like before. And I have to keep scrolling across the page sideways to read forum posts, whether on landscape view or not.

Please change it back?! PLEEEEEEASE?! Lush, a newsite and my email are currently the only things I briefly look at now, and if it stays like this, it'll be Lush even less.

Do have some Magic Tea, though.

Edit: There are also some weird ghosty icons. And because of the side to side page scrolling, I may never find out about Bethany's...

I already knew that it's not allowed, but that's not what I asked.



So therefore my question: what to do when one encounters this?

It's often not possible to respond to the photo directly and we probably don't want discussions on the forum about each photo, putting them in the spotlight.

Quote by stephanie


I once had a BALLS OUT argument IN REAL LIFE because my Lushie Girlfriend at that time QUITE CORRECTLY observed I have a THING for the SHYLASS...

Peyton Place here, betimes let me tell you!

(And it was in LEEDS... Like LEEDS could be More Shit...)

xx SF

SEVEN OTHER GIRLS ARE GOING, "I was never with you in LEEDS!!!"

(Well... I'm obviously talking about someone else then???)

Leeds could be more shit, trust me! When you're brand new to the city, stuck on the inner ring-road during rush hour just before Elland Road has a match (back when LUFC supporters didn't need to blush). THEN Leeds could be shittererer. I know, I do. It's worse than a fishing forum punch-up between the Devon lads over whether pissing off a crap pier dilutes the swim or not - it's ugly, messy, and nobody wants to be down wind of THAT pointless fall-out.

You only had a thing for me because I laughed at your jokes.

Quote by dpw

Your problem IS self esteem. At least that's what your posts seem to suggest. And, if you look in a mirror and only see the physical, you are being shallow.
If a man or woman only looks at the physical, they show a lack of intelligence. They are the ones to avoid!
At university I had a flatmate who was over 18 stone, certainly no Miss World. She had one of the bubbliest personalities I've ever come across. Lots of guys were attracted to her. She's been married for over 30 years now to a great looking guy.
You should let your intelligence, creativity and wit shine through. If they don't like you, they're not worth the bother.

Yeah, it's not just my looks. However, I'm getting through, and doing better. Listening, observing, analysing and practice (in good balance) have been helping me see myself in a different light. It takes time, just as relationships do.

Quote by Hytherion
There are several traits in people which can be attractive.

Physical looks are only one. If you married a model, and she was tragically disfigured, would you stop loving her?

This is a very shallow topic and matches the age of the OP. So the implied answer is that the OP is shallow, and people attractive or otherwise can read that.

Oh dear, Facefudge have really started to shoot their own feet of late.

I use that site a few times per month at best. I can never figure out how most of it works. It seems counter-intuitive to me.

Why wouldn't you just use this site to keep in touch with members? I think once we get our own "Groups" feature working, it would be easier all round.

I mostly began my Lush name account on Facefudge so that a couple of people who had asked me could add me to theirs (it wasn't always so sprawling and crap as it is now!).

I quickly found that I could put naughty statuses that church-going family wouldn't go bonkers over, but mostly, I did it for the publicity angle, so I could use it as another medium of communication. I don't bother with publicity now, but I have friends on that account that I keep separate to real life for various reasons.

I'd be interested in the groups feature, though, just see what it's about. I only belong to a couple of groups on Facefudge, but only because they're little and fun, with people who don't pee me off.

I first thought this was about ice cream, an we were all about to have an essay on our hands.

Ah, now, when it's ice cream, anything goes (as long as we have our own tubs)!

Quote by KatieElizabeth
I'm a scraper and my margarine tub usually looks pretty neat. Since my girlfriend has started staying over, I've noticed my nice neat tub is now regularly full of knife craters which make it hard for me to successfully scrape. She's obviously a digger. While we laugh about it, I don't believe diggers and scrapers can happily share the same tub without eventually getting annoyed with each other.

Do you dig or scrape and do you ever argue with your family or significant other over the state of the contents of your margarine tub?

I tend to scrape at first, and then dig, particularly as the tub contents get lower. Because of that, I'm not sure which of the poll choices to pick, sorry.

I don't mind what others do, as long as they don't leave crumbs or bits in it. Seriously, I can go bonkers over that. I don't know why... Just..
