Three excellent entries, and congratulations to their writers!

Thank you! I would have never figured that out on my own!

I never did either. Had to hit the forums to get instructed on how to do it, too.

I'm sorry, that's just not right. Men will most certainly not be "wiped out." That would be self-defeating. A small percentage will be kept alive for the obvious utilitarian reasons. It will only be the rest that will be disposed of as time and organic processing permits. It is a practical solution for all concerned.

You may (or may not) have said this just to troll the trolls, but FWIW Ursula K. LeGuin covered this outcome quite thoroughly in The Matter of Seggri. Quite a good read, and the planet Seggri was pretty far from Utopian.

Quote by RefrigeratedLegumes

Bi is not necessarily equally attracted to both men and women i.e. 50/50. You can be bi and be predominatly attracted to men and slighty /or occasionally attracted to women i.e 70/30 or 80/20 or 60/40 etc. Or vice versa . it is simply being attracted to both but not necessarily to the same. degree

Hell, even when I'm feeling 50/50, I get turned on by men and women in somewhat different ways. What a beautiful and mysterious thing attraction is.

Quote by Unknown User

Well men are downright annoying, so it was pretty easy for me to stay with my own gender.

Well, that is a conundrum for a lot of us guys who are (increasingly, in my case) attracted to men. A lot of men are assholes, so it does limit the selection.

Quote by VersatileMarc
After we got dressed, he came over to my locker area and started small talking and mentioned my physique. I returned the compliment. Nothing came of that but I remember fantasizing about it for months that he had acknowledged my body.

Oh damn, I'd have the same reaction. Some random guy seeing me naked and then complimenting my physique? I'd be jerking off to thoughts of that guy complementing my physique for months afterward, especially considering I'd seen him naked too.

MY NEWEST STORY is A Plan Cums Together. I have the perfect plan to get Rick together with Eric, the longtime target of his desire. As we spill loving spoonfuls into each other mouths, I also spill the plan into his ear.

Absolutely! I've hardly ever gotten an in-the-flesh upstart view, so you can bet I'd get excited for that rare treat. Regardless of whether there's a cock or a pussy up there.

I see a few women replying that they spit, but none of us guys! I swallow! I love the taste, I love the texture.

Congratulations!

Quote by Darlene69

I use LushStories as more of a personal diary and just enjoy writing and love reading others fantasies and stories. Thanks!

Same. My stories are mostly a diary of my fantasies, and I write them for my own edification first. I do, of course, slurp up the positive feedback that I do get, and I certainly get caught up in the excitement of a competition. But I've tried to stop concerning myself with whether I'm going to win any awards for it. As luck would have it, two of my past comp entries have been named Recommended Reads, though that may still be luck as much as anything.

Personally, I find that the winners and runners-up only align about 50/50 with the stories that really resonate with me, and I don't dwell on trying to sort that out. There's a lot of wonderful diversity out there in what turns us all on. It's fun to be part of a competition, and I do make a point of reading the stories that get honored in some way, because whether or not they turn my crank, I can always know the winners and runners-up will be stories of quality.

Quote by Wet_n_willing
I've often thought that we should gather all of the unsolicited dick pics we get into one thread or album where we can vote and rate them on various factors (biggest/smallest, longest/shortest, thickest/skinniest, strangest/prettiest, etc) comment, give our opinions, etc. Give the guys a chance to see where they stack up! 🤣

There is a thread for that! I have to admit I've found it highly stimulating.

Quote by Seeker4

Why do we gay/bi men never get these? 😢We might be more appreciative.😇

🤣

I've gotten a couple. And I didn't mind.

But I would have minded if I were a woman, because Duh.

Quote by kistinspencil

Not quite the answer to my post, but yeah, that's a real dick for sure

(I had to google the image, to be honest)

And a tricky Dick at that. (Although you might have to Google that reference too).

Quote by PEIslandman

There are a lot of guys who have a gay side. They may have a str8 side too, but if a marriage goes sexless that gay side rises to the surface. But, same sex desire is a powerful thing. Sometimes its so powerful that it does not take a sexless marriage to bring it to the forefront.

Well said. I'm aware of at least a couple guys who have had that happen. Their marriage went sexless, and maybe because they didn't want to cheat on their wives, or maybe because they suppressed thoughts of other women, but the desire for men came to the forefront.

And maybe you're right that it doesn't take a sexless marriage. Just the passage of time and all those unfulfilled fantasies lurking in the background.

Quote by joe71
My fantasies about guys are much more about the cock. I don't think that's uncommon at all. And again, on some level I have always known that.

My perspective has evolved quite a bit since I posted this a few years ago. I've always considered myself bi and that hasn't changed, but there's a very wide range of possibilities within that label. I've shifted to where I regularly find myself fantasizing about a lot more of a man than just his disembodied penis.

I'm not in a position in my life right now to experiment, but if I were single today, for both companionship and sex I'd date more men than women, something I couldn't have contemplated until fairly recently. I've dated women, have checked a lot of juicy opposite-sex experiences off the bucket list, and am still attracted to them, but I would want to catch up on what I missed when I was young.

I hear there's at least one scene in Saltburn that probably qualifies for this thread. Haven't watched it yet, but it's on my list.

Quote by deviantsusie

Will A.I. take jobs? Yes. Will A.I. destroy creativity? No. Microsoft word was going to get rid of secretaries, photoshop was going to get rid of graphic designers and calculators were going to get rid of mathematicians. A.I. is a tool and while it produces some cool looking stuff it doesn’t create anything. It gathers stuff that already exists and merges them together. Sure it makes pretty pictures but it’s not creating something new. Even those pictures are being manipulated and created by an artist using prompts, refining etc etc. As a creative I’m not worried about A.I. but it will take jobs because people will get A.I. to do something that isn’t art but is “good enough” for their brochure or instagram post or whatever. People that like shiny photorealistic stuff that’s almost real will take it cos it’s cheaper than a real photographer or artist but they are the same people who think that just because they can right click on an image on the internet and click Save as means they can use it so there is always going to be those who use it, ethical or not

Pretty much the way I see it too. If anything, the need to properly manage AI is going to create a whole class of new jobs. A lot of what generative AI does is "good enough" for many purposes, but still needs to be curated by humans. So many of the static outline-structure webpages I run into when I ask questions of my search engine ("Does this car have feature 'X'?" or "What is there to do in Timbuktu?") are just garbage, full of bloated, wasted boilerplate and - I swear - an increasing number of factual errors. Even ChatGPT itself doesn't seem to be improving in the quality of its answers, and still hasn't figured out how to identify the operative word in my question that makes it different from other, similar questions it has been asked. As has been proven to be happening with spell checkers, I'm starting to wonder if the quality of genAI output as a whole may actually be declining with time.

I don't know if that's true of photo-generating AI, which I am interested in eventually using to create Lush story covers, at least once the images get less creepy in the eyes and less sheeny on the skin. As long as the images are based on composite faces and not individual humans, I think that will be less problematic than scraping images of real humans from free Internet porn, as I currently do.

Now if only genAI could create images with realistic pubic hair, which I so dearly love ... I suspect I'm going to be waiting a while for that capability.

Quote by Magical_felix

They hit you with the propaganda first... We are in the first step. They want you to not even see American men and how they are the most persecuted people on the entire planet so that it's easily accepted and cheered on when they are wiped out.

Seriously? A slippery-slope argument? Why is it that some members of the most privileged class on the entire planet get this childish persecution complex when we try to reduce their relative privilege just the teeniest little bit? Grow the fuck up.

I have no interest in BDSM myself. I see sex as an act of affection between two equals. To me, dominance and submission (let alone pain or punishment of all but the mildest kind) violate that, and I usually find unequal power dynamics profoundly unsexy, an active turnoff. I don’t easily relate to what people often do in that category.

But just because I’m turned off by someone else’s kinks doesn’t mean I need to judge them and call it wrong. And from what I’ve seen, in most cases it really isn’t “enslavement” of any kind when people enter into this voluntarily.

It’s simple reality that asymmetric power is a turnon for a lot of people, and this site is about people exploring their fantasies, which often they never plan to see through. I’m sure a lot of people are reading BDSM stories for catharsis, and it may actually help them deal with certain thoughts and make them better people.

I’m sure almost everyone who comes in here finds some of the categories to be turnoffs. Heaven knows the category I mostly write in (bisexual) is a pretty heavy turnoff to a lot of people. Let he who can write a story that is super sexy, but offends absolutely no one, cast the first stone.

Quote by Hasabrain2

One can imagine the outrage if only male athletes were depicted. Just saying.

Because that’s a false symmetry.

Just heard from PrickPussyLuvr2 that xhamster is blocked in his home state of Texas too. Sucks for Texans

I don’t think there is a way to truly age verify without something along the lines of a national digital ID, which I very much oppose. That will spell the end of privacy. As it is, Google is insinuating themselves into half the sites on the web now (including xhamster as of a couple months ago), trying to get us to sign on using their ID. Fuck no! I’m not giving them the data on my porn surfing (and story writing) habits!

You could at least require a paywall to view porn, which isn’t going to stop teenagers from borrowing mom’s credit card, but will stop most of the twelve year olds.

Well, it’s been three months of being pretty inactive on Lush, but after edit upon edit I finally managed to squeeze out another installment in my more-than-best-friendship Midlife Renewal series. I have the next one mostly written, so maybe I can do that one faster. Or maybe I’ll spend another couple months honing the language ad infinitum again.

Anyway, at several points I debated entering Getting Rick Back into the Unleashed competition, but after reading it, I decided it was too tame to even bother. Some light spanking and “consequences” for cheating (that aren’t really punishment) are as far as I can take myself down that road. Oh well, more fun (for me) that way. The comp did at least get me motivated to move this one forward.

Quote by MC1982

Until yesterday I was working in an entry for the contest....but then my laptop took a tumble and is now caput so I'm back to square one 🫣

Another horror. Sorry to hear it.

In Getting Rick Back, the latest story in my Midlife Renewal series, Rick has come back from his trip to Europe with a confession to make: he had sex with someone else. As it happens, I must confess to my fling with Tori while he was away.

I haven’t bothered entering this in the Unleashed competition because the punishment is so mild, but Rick and I do dish each other some consequences for our indiscretions.

As with the other stories in this series, don’t feel like you need to read the other ones first. Just jump right into the action and I’ll catch you up!

A teaspoon is normal. Lots of references to this in popular music, like the classic rock band named 10cc, and the Flaming Lips’ “A spoonful weighs a ton.”

Like others have said, going a long time without cumming will make you produce more, as will edging or situations that build up the sexual tension. There is a lot of fake cum in porn, lots of sleight of hand used to make it look the guy is shooting more or further than he really is. No, I don’t know all the details, but I don’t need to know how a magician does the tricks to enjoy the show either.

As for distance, I personally shoot at least a couple of inches. On the one hand, I have surprised myself and have it spurt a foot or two … but on the other hand, if it’s my second orgasm in a short time, it might just dribble out. I suspect there’s a lot of natural variation.

That said, while Erin is absolutely right that you shouldn’t be AT ALL worried about this in terms of pleasing your partner, but there is more to it, and is a good idea that you asked. I have heard of a situation, especially with aging guys, where they cum internally but nothing comes out. That CAN be an indication of a serious medical condition, from what I understand, I don’t know very much about it, but it sounds worth a Google, and then you should visit a urologist (despite the title, they don’t just deal with pee) if you think it might apply to you. Best wishes.

Third parties don’t have to win, or become major parties, to do the very important job of forcing the major parties to be a little more responsive to voters, and a little less responsive to the oligarchs whose donations actively control both parties. Voting for an alternative holds their feet to the fire for the blatant rigging of the primaries that both parties keep doing.

Biden’s boosters seem awfully confident that Trump couldn’t possibly win again. That sounds like 2016-era hubris to be, but if that’s really true, then stop getting so worked up about my vote. Maybe spend more energy making the Democratic ticket appealing and rallying the vote (pro tip: the key to winning elections isn't swing voters, it's turnout!), and less energy attacking independent thinkers like me, and maybe then you could win. Al Gore should have won by 20 points. So should Hillary. They both lost because they ran weak campaigns and pulled punches in the debates. Even their baldfaced bullying of everyone who disagreed with the choice of nominee didn't get them a win.

Quote by NJStephenXX

A side note: ladies that truly love sucking cock are (i have found) very good at cock sucking. However, only 10% of the ladies I have experienced fit within this category. Yet, 75 % of men, from my experience, are straight away amazing...

Guys know what the other end of the blowjob feels like. Similar deal with pussy eating: women often report that a lot of women are really good at it than men are.

Based on my one experience sucking cock, I'd have to agree with a lot of the other guys that I'd rather give than receive. That said, giving and receiving is even better. 69 is my favorite thing to do with a woman. I suspect mutual blowjobs with a hard man might even be better.

Not a gal, but based on my experience eating women out, if she can talk on the phone normally, I'm not doing a very good job at it. If I am doing a good job at it (and not saying I always do), she is definitely not going to be able to have a normal conversation on the phone.

Love it. Someday I'd like to wake another guy up that way too.
