Whimsical as he is, I think he looks out of place.
I heard the best story once.
A young guy in my town had hooked up with some "mature" woman from the pub. They went back to hers and started fucking but he was so drunk that it didn't look like he was going to come and, frankly, he was getting a little tired.
So he pissed in her.
Suffice it to say, she was not best pleased.
Besides, Gav has more than likely been in his bed for the last five hours.
That's really well done. 1:45—Beautiful editing!
I'm of the impression that, actually, it's becoming more common for couples to wait until their late 20s/early 30s to start having children. I'm from a very "young" family—my mother had me when she was 23 and I'm the youngest (at 22)—but many of my friends have parents in their fifties and sixties.
I think the phenomenon you're observing is the increased number of "accidental" pregnancies, not usually deriving from a want to start a family. Young people these days are, in general, much more education- and career-driven than they perhaps once were and thus postpone the "settling down" thing. However, young people are also more reckless and, dare I say, sexually promiscuous than even twenty or thirty years ago, so bairns are popping up all over the place.
Personally, I can't wait to start a family. If it had been entirely up to me, I'd already have two or three kids by now. But that's me and, from what I see around my, I'm not typical.
In a sense, it makes a lot more sense to have kids young, when you still have the energy to do it. For all the negative impacts my sister and I may have had on my mum's lifestyle/prospects, she has always said that it would have been a lot more difficult physically if she had waited ten or fifteen years.
I just want to quickly interject that a woman losing her clitoris is not comparable to a man losing his penis, for several reasons.
I don't actually think forced commenting would result in a significant rise in the number of useful comments. If people don't want to comment, they'll usually either not vote or leave some pretty meaningless comment.
Most of my comments are pretty pointless, to be honest (I recently commented "Yes." on a story I particularly enjoyed). At most, I try to highlight the best things about the story, rather than point out the "not-so-good" parts.
I think someone you know and trust saying, "Good job," is a hundred times more valuable than a perfect stranger giving a half-hearted critique. That's why I love when my friends and writers I respect on Lush read and comment on my work (not that I don't like strangers doing so, too).
So, you actually believe that one of your friends is "better" than all the others, i.e., the "best"?
I see no literary contradiction in saying "best friends"—it simply refers to that group of people who are deemed superior rather than the individual.
Could I single out one of my friends as being the "best"? If I had to, probably. The great thing is, I don't have to. I have lots of friends who are my friends for different reasons. They often represent a particular aspect or period of my life (university, childhood, religion, etc.) and so are actually not comparable, if we're talking about quantifying how "good" a friend someone is.
Save yourself some hassle: be your own best friend.
I got cramp in my foot while I was going down on her and had to get up to walk it off.
Oh, how we laughed.
Of all the people on Lush who state a sexual orientation on their profile,
17701 are "Straight",
5792 are "Bisexual",
4249 are "Bi-curious",
933 are "Gay" or "Lesbian",
104 are "Transexual".
Hope that helps.
I've answered this question many times on Lush and it always comes with a long, wordy disclaimer/justification. I've responded to the poll but I've decided to give a (slightly) different spiel.
I find sexual orientation is often ill-defined which results in people identifying themselves as "bisexual" or "bi-curious" (whatever that is) all too easily.
I've done sexual stuff with guys. I would do sexual stuff with guys again. I have been/am attracted to some men. I (probably) would not have sex with a man.
I'm heterosexual (much to my parents' shock and disbelief—I'm the one person who had to "come out" as hetero). My best friend (who is gay) describes me as "a hetero with hiccups".
Maybe I just see things differently to most people.
(Also, I hate the word "straight" to mean heterosexual).
Well, today I'm wearing your mum's, on her orders.
She's a kinky bitch like that.
Should we... throw a party?
Hate to bring up bad memories for everyone but... Two Girls, One Cup.
The suspense is literally killing me.
I appreciate that, Liz, but I'm not THAT technologically inept, haha. I know how to do it all but it just won't let me.
I can't proceed past your Step 6 because my phone just won't open the app once it's downloaded and installed.
My problem wasn't specific to the app, probably just my ineptness with technology.
