I don't believe that to be true as it is the respective Football Associations that make those decisions.


Yeah, but at one point there was a decision made to have separate football associations. And it wouldn't be impossible for those four associations to come to an agreement to have a UK team.

My point is, it was just a decision that was made, but it wasn't a given.

Yes Ireland is an Island but also a European country as they are a republic, they have the Euro as their currency.


No, the Irish rugby team consists of players from both The Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Ireland is not a country.
I don't think there really is an answer. We could decide to have a UK football team, or any sports team, in the same way that we compete as UK at the Olympic Games.

Acting as separate countries when it comes to sport is just something that the four nations of UK decided to do.

In rugby, Ireland, which is not a country but an island, plays as one team.
I man up. If I'm chowing down on a delicious pussy, I'm not so concerned with a slight pain in my neck. Hell, I probably wouldn't even notice until long after the fact.

100% in the moment, dude.
I don't think I've ever read a story with my name in it...

Ok. I'll have a wank later and try it. Let you know how I get on, lol.


I look forward to hearing from you, lol.

To slow you down?
I didn't think they could do that.
I know they can make you shoot further and milk a cock with your ass.
Cumming is brain induced, rather an orgasm is. You can control it with your mind. The trick is not to lose your erection.


Yeah, you can definitely delay orgasm with muscle control. Same muscles that let you stop peeing mid-flow.
I think it depends which part of the site you're on. The forum is kind of a separate entity, and I think it's when you're here that it will simply toggle online/away.

I would like to see an easier process for story edits and better feedback from the editors that gives proactive feedback and not smart ass remarks.


Story Moderators are not editors. It is not our responsibility to get your story up to site standards—that lies solely with yourself.

If your story, for whatever reason, does not meet our standards, then the moderators will explain to you why and often offer useful advice to help you rectify this. We have a bank of external and internal resources that aim to help writers improve which we can and will direct you to.

If you have had specific problems with any of the moderators, this is not the forum to discuss it. Please use the Contact Us page, contact one of the Site Administrators, or even send me a PM.

If you have issues with the technical process of submitting stories, please be more specific. In my opinion, it's quite a straightforward process.
Probably one of my hugest turn-ons. Not quite sure why, just find it really sexy.
Let me think of my past workplaces...

A small bakery where I was rushed off my feet all day and constantly surrounded by middle-aged women? Not so much.
A community centre running youth clubs for 12- to 18-year-olds? All kinds of wrong, and the kind of thing I would have to tell my new neighbours about.

Now, I'm a teacher... I guess work-wanks were never written in my stars.

EDIT: Sorry for posting in Ask the Gals; hope no one is offended.
Sometimes it takes me years between meeting someone and sleeping with them.

Much as I sometimes like to think I could be that sort of guy, I don't think I'll ever be able to charm a woman into bed in such a short space of time.
Welcome to Lush. Hope you enjoy it here. Don't be afraid to ask questions. smile
Hi, and welcome to Lush. Thanks for the great question—I can see how that would be confusing.

You need a minimum of 10 votes to qualify for Top Author and Highest Average Score. That's because many stories will receive a high score initially, and all the lists would be in constant flux.

Hope this helps.

From memory, I think it was May 2013.

As well as looking at new stories, mods browse through the other 27 000 stories on the site. The job means that we're looking for problems to fix, but if we come across something we think is worthy of an RR, we can award it.


The earliest record I can find of a story having been awarded a Recommended Read is 29th April 2013.
Quote by naughtyannie
Can someone remind me when RRs started? I'm sure it was since I joined Lush in 2011. The list of them goes back before then, so I guess there's been a bit of post-dated recommending.


As I recall, it was early 2013 or late 2012. I'll see if I can dig out a more concrete answer from the archives.

But yes, some of them were awarded retrospectively, especially to those stories that just missed out on being awarded an EP.
Hello, BlackStar, and welcome to the Lush forum (I see this is your first post).

I was your age when I lost my virginity, and it was something I used to worry about a lot. I used to think that it would get to the point where it had been so long that no woman would even want to go near me, and I wouldn't know what to do with any that did. I started to feel like that again after a very long "dry spell" which ended recently.

However, what I have realised is that you don't have to worry, because it will happen with the right person at the right time, quite naturally. Just enjoy your life as it is, meet interesting people, pursue romantic interests, if any. Don't agonise about sex, and don't let your preoccupation with it drive your social interactions. Just trust in the fact that it will happen for you and it will be fantastic.
Don't think that an author not thanking you means they don't appreciate you. There may be a whole host of reasons—busyness, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem—that they wouldn't drop you a line, other than not thinking it necessary or simply not wanting to.

I used to try to thank everyone who read and commented on my stories, but I can find it quite tough for various reasons. I still do send messages occasionally, especially if there is something in the comment that I want to respond to.

Damn, I didn't even know college sex was a category... and humor are not quite akin to office sex though. They aren't settings. I'll make an analogy to movies. When you go to buy a movie there is a comedy (humor) section but there isn't an office comedy section. There is a horror section but there isn't a cabin by a lake horror section. I see and and humor more similar to that. College sex not so much, I guess if there is a college sex section then you might as well make an office sex section too.


I'm with you.
Quote by Magical_felix
Office sex should be a tag in a story, not the category. Just like outdoor sex is. The category should be chosen according to the sex act. Like, if it's several people having sex in an office then the category should be group sex and tagged office sex.


But there are several categories, e.g. College Sex, Humour, , that do not refer to a particular sex act.

It's no longer in our best interests to serve hamburgers here. If you've posted accounts of past hamburgers you enjoyed, you can still access them through your profile. Please bear in mind the generous offerings that still remain. Over the years, our best dishes haven't been hamburgers anyway, so please enjoy them. Naughtynurse's suggestion is superb, btw.


I think I just fell in love with you, Xuani.

How are you at putting up shelving? It's a bit more pressing at the moment...


Worse than useless.

By the way... Who do I have to perform sexual favours for to get an RR?


That would be me... ;)
Quote by dpw
However, (everyone knew there was a caveat coming, lol.) there is a favouritism, or rather a disfavouritism, towards categories. None for Crossdressing and Trans. Only two for each of Gay Male and Bisexual.


In my personal experience, the stories written in those categories are just genuinely not as good. Also, there aren't as many stories written in those categories as there are in others.

However, as RRs and EPs are awarded to stories that really stand out to the moderator as being exceptional, both in terms of writing quality and content, it is possible (likely?) that the personal preferences of awarding moderators will influence the category distribution of the awards.

Your "best in category" idea already (sort of) exists in the sense that you can quickly find the top-rated stories in a category. With this, the power is out of moderator hands as it is based on public votes.

I fear that if we start picking out stories for recognition on a fixed time-scale, we run the risk of simply picking "the best of a bad lot"—there are no guarantees, even over as long a period as a year, that a "worthy" piece will be written in every category. There's also the extra workload it would entail to consider.
