No, but maybe that's just because I have no active interest in sex right now. Hey Syndy.

Yes, though not romantically.
What's the stupidest thing you've done because somebody else told you to?

Don't know what this 'innocent' business is about. She looks sweet and... devious?

Have a dirty martini with two olives. Everybody passes beers around here.

Hey Lush, I have a question for you as an author.
As an author, I would never directly question a friend or stranger's vote on my story, but I received a comment lately that got me thinking. Is it appropriate to vote down a story simply because you don't like the style the author chose to write in? The member who left me the note said that they don't enjoy the style of poem I wrote, but that it's an excellent example of that style, yet still voted down. It's no problem to me if somebody doesn't like it, but if they think that it's GOOD, but not their cup of tea, is that really a reason for a negative review?
I'm also interested to ask readers why the vote on a story at all. What earns a positive or negative review? How much do you think about the score you're giving?
I asked myself all these questions regarding the stories and poems that I score as well. I really don't want anybody to think that I'm upset about my average score - I'm not, I'm very pleased. That commentary just made me think, and now I'm curious...

Going to have to make do with a quick one down here too, ;)

Absolutely. I think it's a huge turn-on. I can enjoy it as distance play, foreplay, or just for the simple fun of it.
