There are only a few "established writers" on Lush who are guaranteed to get 30+ views and receive consistent 4's and 5's by their loyal groupies without fail.. then there are the herd of readers who run up massive views and votes for anything to do with .. some writers have 300+ avatars in their friends list and send out blanket marketing emails trumpeting their latest endeavor and they will usually get a respectable number of views and votes from them.. for the most part none of the above can be considered objective consideration of a product.. as for everyone else who posts a story or poem it is only by random chance and rule of chaos by design that they get stumbled across and viewed much less voted for.. and then when they get a 1-2-3 vote for something they were proud of it doesn't enhance the possibility that the next endeavor will follow..
In all honesty if we want to change this system from the subjective whirlpool that it is then make it mandatory to leave a comment if you vote.. and make your vote appear as part of your comment so the writer knows who is judging them and why.. it would be far more productive as a writer to get feedback as opposed to someone just arbitrarily throwing a 1 in the score just to bring the average down.. and I'm already expecting a flood of 1's coming my way but it is what it is..
Now to answer the original question.. this is how I vote.. 1 is a horrible score, I can't even imagine ever giving a 1 to anybody.. (maybe if it was written backwards in crayon).. you get a 2 just for being on Lush.. a 3 is automatic if you took the trouble to write something and post it.. if your work has a catchy title you get a 4.. and lastly.. If I read your work and commented.. you got a 5..

Full penetration of any opening is always the quest.. getting there requires patience and a willing partner.. it's a journey to a destination and it doesn't make getting there very pleasant if one partner feels violated or taken advantage of.. not being critical of anybody.. just sayin'...

Fake is such a harsh word on an adult site that is primarily fantasy oriented.. in this place you can be whoever you want.. and for the most part every member here gives the other members the space to be that person.. all that any of us ask is that you don't take advantage of your persona.. enjoy playing who you are but be respectful and courteous to others.. it's all good..

Uh yeah, adult content pics anyone?

How obvious and easily found through reverse pic look up. You people are pretty easily fooled! Can anyone say FAKE? Guess I just have a trained eye due to my job. Pretty sad to use content pics and claim they are you on a site like this! Awwwww, hope I haven't burst anyone's bubble.....
I certainly understand your point and would agree it is sad if in fact that is the case.. but it appears that Tracey has been a long time member.. and it would seem less likely to carry a ruse for so long.. a more generous view might be that she has an online portfolio at other sites and the ones on Lush really are Tracey as well..

Music seems to play a big part in my life.. my 'life' song that is me is "Theme From A Summer Place" by Percy Faith.. my high school sweetheart song was "Surfer Girl" by the Beach Boys.. and we broke up to "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying" by Gerry and the Pacemakers.. and the first song I danced with my daughter to was "Could I have This Dance for the Rest of My Life" by Anne Murray.. there are many others..
What are your life song(s).. and why?

Maybe we should start doing member ratings like they do on Chinese menus.. you know.. with the hot pepper ratings so you know what your getting into before you order.. only we could use symbols like barbells.. beachballs.. lawnchairs.. hippos.. clowns.. etc... over my many years I've learned a thing or two.. one of them is that there is a market out there for every type of body and personality.. except for the one I happen to be in at the time..

It's simple economics.. at one point the government through the guidance of churches and the moral sector of society decided that alcohol, prostitution, and gambling were the three greatest dangers to America.. then they figured out how to tax alcohol and gambling.. ta-daaaaa.. legal once again.. if they ever figure out how to control and tax prostitution (outside of Nevada) it will also become a respected cash cow for the government.. in the meantime though.. we need to keep supporting our working women..

Man = faster than a speeding bullet.. more powerful than a locomotive.. able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.. look.. up in the sky.. it's a bird.. it's a plane. no.. it's.. some guy wearing tights and a fucking cape.. it used to be that our gender was determined by our body parts.. being a man doesn't mean I have to be able to take a punch.. order a beer instead of a Cosmo.. belch the alphabet.. or live up to anyone else's standards but my own.. I get a mani/pedi every six weeks.. I have my hair done at a parlor rather than a barbershop.. I get a hot oil massage once a month.. I love the color pink.. I write poetry.. and I love the scent and taste and feel of a woman.. oh hell.. I think I'm a lesbian...

I really don't blame the women at all for being defensive and slow to let their guard down.. unfortunately some guys come in here and think it's a Kodak moment for body parts and a chance to use words and phrases they perfected with their buddies in high school.. and because of those less than mature guys the rest of us get painted with the same brush and must endure the gauntlet of distrust that comes from their deeds.. as in all things there is a comfort that develops over time.. courtesy and respect will open a lot of doors that are usually closed and locked.. and when they don't.. it's just best not to go where you aren't wanted..

I agree with chef too.. this is funny.. please don't take offense because none is meant.. but when you post avatars like Dancing_Doll.. LittleBambi.. or Curlygirly.. I don't think there is any mystery as to why some guys will run right past the stop signs.. I think it's a fair assumption that most guys in here will look at the avatar first.. then MAYBE read the profile.. then look back at your avatar.. then look for pics or types of stories you may have written.. then back at your avatar.. then check out your friends list.. then back at your avatar.. and just like spermatazoa.. some will get through and some will be flushed.. it's the nature of what happens here on planet Lush..
