I love it here too. I came to Lush to find hot stories to read, as well as to find an outlet for my ever-growing pile of fantasy tales, many of them about sex between men, that I could no longer hold in. I started writing them around 2012-2014, I think, but until I came here in 2020 I had nowhere to publish them.
Since then, I have found a lovely site with kind, thoughtful people, a treasure trove of hot erotica to read, and an eager audience for the tales I have to tell. I've met lots of bi guys with similar predilections, too - of all ages, but many of them of a similar age, finding they can no longer keep their secret dick cravings bottled up forever.
Are bi and gay stories underrepresented among the EPs (or contest winners)? Perhaps, but understandable given that they are woefully underrepresented in contest submissions. I've submitted a number of male-bisexual contest entries now, and I think mine has sometimes been the ONLY one featuring man-on-man sex (woman-on-woman being of course much more common). I've never won a full EP award or a spot on the podium, but two of my bi competition stories have at least achieved Recommended Read status. I'll keep at it.
Also, I only just now learned that 2015 had an LGBT Sex Stories competition. I've got some reading to do!
