Quote by BuddyGlenn

Every woman I was about to experience with intercourse, I came when she first touched my dick, sometimes with my underwear still on. After that, I never saw them again. I never had a good experience. I'm 60 now, and it saddens me that I never experienced the real joy of sex or making love

Sorry to hear that, and thank you for sharing. There's so much lost potential on both sides of the equation.

I think we hear a lot of women's (valid!) complaints about men being sexually impatient, but your situation shows that many women are guilty of it too. Sure, you came right away, but if you're like most guys, you can go a lot longer the second time around.

Ladies, if a new partner ejaculates too quickly, give him a few minutes to get through his male recovery period (during which he could be going down on you!), and then give him another chance! You might be amazed what a second erection can do for you.

I got Persistent Terror drafted too! I've written a couple of action stories before, but jump scares are new for me. If I've gotten this right, I think I may actually have come up with a pretty scary nail-biter.

I don't expect to actually publish much of anything until late September, not only because (as I mentioned earlier) I want to wait on releasing my October-specific stories until that month, but also so I can focus my energy on cleaning up and publishing everything in my Drafts folder by the end of the year.

After the October stories, I'll publish the five remaining chapters of Becoming A Man, all of which are fully drafted and next require the hard work of polishing and prepping that I'm doing now. Next, I'll have a Christmas story in the Supernatural genre. And then I'll follow up last year's "Twats The Night Before Christmas" with another seasonal erotic poem, after which you will never hear a certain popular carol the same way again.

Does anyone wait till their newest story get published before writing the next one or do you just keep going?

I will incorporate feedback on the fly if I find it applicable to the story(ies) I'm working on, but I don't wait for it. Keep going, like Rowan said.

"Normal" covers a very wide range of experiences, so to your original question, yes it is normal. Personally, I've found that there is a ton of randomness to it, and I have the impression that I have average staying power or possibly a bit better. But sometimes I cum quickly, and sometimes I don't. It depends on my mood, how tired I am, how mentally stimulated I am (even for guys, the brain is the biggest sexual organ!), how long it's been since the last time, how I'm feeling about being with the person I'm with, and God knows what else. Cocks are not deterministic machines that will predictably erupt after a prescribed amount of milking.

That said, some guys have more innate lasting power than others. Since this guy is repeatedly ejaculating prematurely with you, it clearly is him. His cock might be more sensitive, or he might not be very good at distracting his mind with thoughts of baseball (yes, that can make a huge difference). Or maybe it's the combination of you and him. He did tell you he was really anxious and excited about being with you.

There are things you can do to work with him. Maybe don't overstimulate his cock right away. Mix it up. If you can't resist sucking him right off the bat (so to speak), just do it for a few seconds and then, as others have said, insist he go down on you or otherwise give your body some attention (you know, the stuff we used to call "foreplay.") As you mentioned, he said he wanted to eat you the next time. You might need to get your own orgasm first with this guy, and he should be willing to give it to you.

And once he has cum, don't consider the night over. Once you've given him some time to recover (something that biologically, men tend to need more of than women), he might last a lot longer on the second round. I know I do.

The vast majority of my stories are written from a first-person perspective, because I envision most of my bisexual-male protagonists as various versions of me.

I’ve used third-person for my two fully gay-protagonist stories, and I did not find it difficult. After all, outside erotica, that is how most fiction is written. My narrator still had access to the thoughts in the protagonist’s head, which I think is almost always essential to a good story.

I also went third-person for one story I did about a woman-to-woman relationship. Personally, I feel Impostor Syndrome writing “as a woman,” and frankly, I often find the result less than genuine when I read other men’s attempts to do that. So my few female-protagonist stories are third-party when I do them at all.

My discovery of my bi side was decades ago, through Penthouse Forum and Letters. More recently, being on Lush and being able to publish stories about it and discuss it has helped me continue that exploration.

Personally, I find that longer captions tend to detract from the sexiness of the underlying photos more than short ones do, although I do find the pics you’ve posted sexy. I’m glad to see that in whatever way, Lush is helping you explore your bi side.

I think it would depend on his demeanor and what kind of eye contact he was making. In other words, not what he asked, but how he asked it.

I have been a member of LS for a little over 3 months. I'm sure that LS admin is trying to keep more income flowing. Would you prefer it be limited to soft porn and stories?

No. Why would anyone prefer that?

Just finished the first draft of my Monster story! Now, the hard part: sitting on it until October. I can't even disclose the title yet, because it will give the story away. All I can reveal now is that it will be very juicy.

Next to dig into my other two Halloween-themed stories, Daphne's Halloween and Persis-tent Terror, the latter a Horror thriller that I hope to make absolutely harrowing. And then I'll have to sit on those until October too.

In my latest story, the protagonist is not bisexual Joe, but fully gay Frank. This is my second story where only fully gay characters get it on.

For the longest time, I puzzled over how I would ever manage to take on the Steampunk genre here at Lush. I expected it to be my last category before achieving Omnium status (which, as it now turns out, will be Fantasy/Sci-Fi, for which I'm planning a real extravaganza).

But I've gone and done it! I'm pleased to announce the publication of Steam Mates. Set in a parallel version of 1972 in Portland, Oregon, this is a story of love at first sight between two steam-power enthusiasts. It's not only my first Steampunk story, but I believe it's also my first story fully set well in the past. Having done quite a lot of historical and location research, I'm hoping that (whether or not you'd been born yet) this transports you right back to the early Seventies. With a few key, steamy differences, of course.

[sorry, reposted because I forgot to attach the photo to yesterday's original post]

I'm a boob guy, but that doesn't mean I have a size preference. I've mostly been with larger-boobed women, simply because ladies who were heavier-set tended to gravitate towards me when I was single. I don't mind the thicker hips and softer belly that normally go with the bigger (natural) ones, but thinner or medium-sized women who get a lot of enjoyment out of their breasts are just as enticing.

What sometimes turns me off are obviously implanted boobs that look disproportionate. A flat belly, thin hips and obviously fake boobs that don't naturally curve into a woman's frame, looking almost bolted-on, is an unattractive combination to me. Real - and being comfortable with the body God gave you - is always what looks good to me (in both men and women). Even heavy makeup is a turnoff to me, so no surprise that unnatural looking breasts are too.

When I choose to read a story, it's very often because it's by an author I follow, an entry in the current competition, or simply one where a cover on the site's front page piqued my interest. The genres I tend to read the most are under Bisexual, Gay Male and Lesbian. Close behind are Group Sex, Mature/MILF, Threesomes and Wife Lovers.

How about my least favorite genres? BDSM is #2 in that regard, as the idea of a person dominating, controlling or humiliating another human deflates my boner. And I guess I'm an outlier, because although it was the #1 most favorite in the pool, IF is my #1 least favorite, my biggest turnoff.

Hotwife stories give the hubby an ego boost, so emotionally they are the opposite of cuckolding, which is intended to humiliate him. So they go under wife lover, I say.

Six or seven, I think.

I've probably jerked off in 25 or 26 states.

Since we are in the middle of Wherefore Art Thou?, an art-related story competition, I'm squirting out this little art-related story from my Midlife Renewal canon (which has otherwise been on hold for a while). Ool Arty is a little Flash-length splash, an MMF threesome in which Tori and Eric add a very attractive fountain to their already artistic pool. If you fancy a soaking on these hot summer days, lap it up! Spoiler: Tori is the fountain.

CAUTION: this is a WATERSPORTS story! I am aware that for some of my regular readers, it's not your cup of ... well, wee. DO NOT READ if you are repulsed by pee play, as urine for an unpleasant experience that will piss you off. Skip this one and wait for Steam Mates, my forthcoming historical Steampunk gay love story. That one's almost ready to publish and will be Out next week.

Also, for a more in-depth (and pee-free) exploration of Eric's amazing artwork, not to mention Rick's exploration of Eric's amazing ass, check out Midlife Renewal: Tiles and Smiles and its companion story, Meatier Shower.

Interesting how certain individuals who are turned off by it feel the need to post more or less the same sentiment to this thread multiple times, in at least once case after having already been called on it. As has already been said, we get it.

It's enough to make me wonder: Doth they protest too much? Once you start leaking, it's hard to stop!

You can try to send a message to the moderator who approved your story, inform of the missed button.

As for the stories published as competition entries that are not in the list, I'm thinking those might be stories that were not supposed to be submitted for the competition. I reported some non-competition entries which 'hit' the competition button in the past. They were removed from the list.

Also, you may be seeing a number of prominent art-related stories that aren't part of the contest, either because the author had already entered or for other reasons. I'll be publishing a non-contest art-related story later this week myself.

Quote by RowanThorn
But in the meantime I'm getting it ready to reach out to multiple publishers and to self-publish.

Best wishes, and do let us all know how that works out! I think most of us here are curious, especially with the swampy flood of AI "writing" suffocating real human writing, what the process looks like these days.

Like many here, I've contemplated eventually turning some of my series into publications someday, though I acknowledge that (a) heavy rewriting would be needed to make any of them a coherent whole, and (b) I'd never make any money to speak of. Nevertheless, it's something I (and probably most of us) fantasize about, like the sexual tales themselves.

I initially thought the OP meant simple cunnilingus by the strange phrase "pussy to mouth sex." Seems most of the respondents have thought that too. To that point, I've always agreed with Dan Savage in that "oral comes standard." I've never been with a woman on whom I did NOT go down.

But perhaps, as indicated by Beffer's early reply, this phrase was intended to mean "going from someone's pussy to their mouth." Maybe "kissing after oral" would have been a less confusing way to phrase this, eh?

To that alleged meaning, I will say that not every woman I've been with enjoyed tasting herself on me. Sometimes the kissing would be over once I'd eaten her. This was mostly in the early 90s, though, so I imagine there's less resistance to the idea amongst the kids these days.

I’m pushing sixty and rarely wank fewer than 4-5 times in a week, occasionally 10 times or more. At this age I’m not always quite hard enough for penetration every time I do it, nor do I have to be to have a satisfying orgasm.

Last week, I jerked five times in a twenty-four period. I was busy writing Back Forty, a new story about an old friend, and felt like I was spurting out cum as fast as I was spurting out words. That isn’t particularly common, but writing sometimes does that to me.

What am I thinking about? Often what I’m writing about, which often entails sex between men, particularly if one of them is discovering these joys for the first time. Sometimes it’s a hot cock (or two) in the gallery, sometimes some hot video porn. Often it’s about a hot woman that I know or simply saw in public … or, better yet, two of them together.

Inspired by my recent forty-year high school reunion in real life, Back Forty tells about rekindling my friendship - and more - with my old buddy Brent.

By the way, this now makes 50 Lush genres in which I have published stories.

Quote by AmuseBouche
I am really enjoying writing again.

Well, we are enjoying your writing again, too. Maybe it was just "doing this because I can" to you, but 'O' Is Not For Oils took my breath away.

Feeling productive! My recent (IRL) 40-year high school reunion has suddenly inspired Back Forty, a Mind Control tale that I hadn't even conceived of five days ago, yet has written itself and budged into the moderation queue ahead of everything else. In the meantime, my Steampunk period piece Steam Mates is ready to submit, as is Ool Arty.

After those, I want to revisit the Daphne arc of Becoming A Man with Daphne's Double Date (also ready to publish) and the Bukkake story Daphne's Halloween. But that's not all I have more planned for Halloween, with both a Monster Sex and a Horror story coming together. After that, my Christmas-themed Supernatural tale will complete my trifecta of paranormal(ish) yarns.

That should bring me into 2027 separated from Omnium status by just three (for me, difficult) genres: Love Poems, Fantasy/Sci-Fi and Voyeur. Sci-Fi is going to be the toughest - and the last. I'm going to try to pull off an out-of-this-world tour de force parody to cross the Omnium line with a ... well, a bang. Of course.

I’m also the self-appointed penis patrol

I suppose that job isn't quite as fun as it first sounds.

Having never engaged with any of these spammer-scammers, I have yet to hear one of their sob stories. These people are annoying, but also not that hard to spot. If, like me, you're an older guy and some random young hottie comes up to you spouting "Hi, handsome!" when you're clearly not even the most handsome guy on the block, you should be suspicious. Just as you would if that happened in an actual dark alley.

We should all diligently report behavior that violates the ToS outright, and while I think there are some additional limitations Lush could place on newer members, there's not a ton else that they can do. I don't want them policing our behavior at the level that would be required to make all the hazards go away - and I say this as someone who's largely repulsed by BDSM, although I take care not to judge others who are into it. The admins don't have the time to monitor all the chatter for dom/sub or anything else deemed to be a red flag. Report violators, and they usually take care of it quickly, even if it sometimes feels like Whac-A-Mole.

I assume it's done with a certain degree of sensitivity.

And cleanliness. Also lubrication.

Quote by techgoddess

Once you have actually written for the Novel category, it seems to make more sense in my book.

I see what you did there.

And agreed, now that I have an intended, partly completed novel published, I'd hate for the category to go away. I intend to finish It's A Date! in 2027.

Quote by KimmiBeGood

Ummm… how does one “anal edit”? Asking for a friend. 😉 Maybe post a picture or video.

Not sharing my interpretation of that until my story is in ... um, final anal editing.

Quote by MycroftHolmes

When I filtered it for just women, it dropped to 50. Bunch of dirty of men.

Yep! Not much of a dating site, unless you're looking for other men. Of course, a lot of us dirty old men are Bi, so ...

Quote by Seeker4

anal editing.

Thanks for my next story idea.

Oh, WTF, I probably shouldn't, but I'm in a mood to bite this bait today.

Quote by Jade_Pillow

You must own stock in a company that collects semen samples or something

Do such companies exist? Are they publicly traded? How do I get in on the action?

Defensive

It's not so much defensive as it simply goes against everything I have read. I've been avidly reading sex columns and books for more than fifty years, and everything I've seen suggests that men's sexual response tends to atrophy, not strengthen, from limited use.

I’m also gonna guess you’ve never been to an acupuncturist or practice any kind of meditation.

Given that I have done quite a bit of acupuncture, as well as other nontraditional medicine, you've done a remarkably poor job of drawing conclusions about me based on a limited dataset.

Do you know it was actually Muhammad Ali who famously said that he would never cum before a fight, because if he did he would lose

Yes, everyone is aware of the temporary effect of feeling mellower when we're feeling sexually satisfied. Sure, your sexual energy is temporarily depleted. But it recovers. I'm skeptical of a corresponding long-term depletion effect, or that your total lifetime amount of sexual energy is fixed. That's almost like saying we have a fixed amount of muscle work we can do over our lifetime. What a sad species we would be if either were true!

For the record, I’m actually 51, I may have fibbed on my age a little bit

That's a pretty big gap.
