Hell, I’m not going to pretend age is just an irrelevant number. I wouldn’t date or fuck an 18 year old, nor would I a 90 year old. I might potentially get turned on by someone of those ages in porn, but in real life no.
Being in my mid fifties, I wouldn’t likely get together with a man or woman younger than mid thirties, nor older than about seventy. That window is not absolute, definitely depending on the person, and it is likely to shift as I age
No.
I simply don’t understand the attraction, sexually or otherwise, of doing that to your body. Obviously there is an appeal, because it’s gotten very popular, but it baffles me.
Like some others have said, one or two small, tasteful ones would be fine. Maybe it would even be like a mole or two that adds some spicy interest. In any event, I wouldn’t kick a woman or man out of bed for a couple of discreet ones. But unless I really, really like them otherwise, more than that would likely be an active turn-off.
My feelings are similar to TR's and WBWS' that this particular comp has had a lot of violence and death for my taste, especially situations where the death, while not taking place during actual fucking, was still at least loosely linked to sex. Not that the Noir comp wasn't gory too, by the way, but somehow I was more comfortable with it there, and I think there was mostly more separation of sex and death in that one. Admittedly, I rather brutally murdered three characters in my own Noir entry, but they hadn't been involved in any sexual activity at any time in the story. Plus their killings were highly justifiable.
Anyway, I agree with Kimmi that a new rule isn't the solution. I think the setup for this competition is trigger warning enough. My approach has been simply to not reward stories that cross the line for me by hitting "Like." That said, I think there have been a couple of rough stories in this group that I still Liked because they were really, really good.
Not sure I had noticed a difference between viewership between male-written versus female-written stories in a general sense, nor would it bother me. With something as asymmetrical in human experience as sexuality, I'd be more surprised at a fifty-fifty ratio.
But one pattern I have noticed is that moderators get a lot more views (and Likes) than non-moderators, on average. (That doesn't bother me, either, but it seems pretty obvious and also as one would expect), and if I'm not mistaken we have more female moderators than male ones. So that could account for a significant share of the difference right there.

squirting female orgasms. Unless I've just been unlucky, pretty damn rare in real life.
Mention bra size only if your characters go shopping. If penis measurement comes up, work in a situation where you actually break out the ruler. Otherwise, just break out the adjectives and let the reader come up with their favorite mental measurement.
With you on the squirting female orgasms. The seem to have become nearly standard, even on Lush, as a requirement to prove that the woman came. In the reality that I’ve experienced, the vast majority of female orgasms are not accompanied by a large discharge of fluid as depicted in porn.
I have used penis length and cup size in some of my stories, along with other physical descriptions (and not just alpha/numeric measurements), especially when I’m explicitly trying to paint a more vivid picture and not leave it all to the imagination. I think most people know A, B, C and D cups by both sight and feel, even if they’re not bra shopping, so to me that’s legit. But I don’t cite chest inch measurements, because while I can tell a C cup I could never say without looking at her bra tag whether someone wears a 34C or 38C.
But I don’t use dimensions of these in all my stories, and it’s important to me not to give very many of my characters exaggerated measurements: I don’t think there have been any dicks longer than seven inches (maybe there was one eight-incher?), and the bi guys who inhabit most of my stories have been thrilled to experiment with another guy who had just five or six.
Likewise, no shortage of women with A and B cups in my stories - even though my real world encounters as a young man tended towards women who are larger in the hips, bellies, thighs and thus also tits. And when I have a female character who’s on the larger side, she is almost always rounder and softer in all those dimensions, not just the chest. I guess you could say I have a bit of a mission to normalize the hotness of normal women.
Put another way, as others have said I don’t find it hot when every guy has a big muscles and a nine inch cock, and every woman is rail-thin except for giant silicone boobs.
Yes, we can definitely tell you're writing "Australian," and we love it! Rather than hurting your reputation, I think it enriches your stories immensely. Even though I've enjoyed a number of Australian-set books (including Bryson's) and have some familiarity with Australianisms, I still have to look things up once in a while, and that is part of the fun. Your perspective is something I could never even attempt to reproduce (nor would I try to write from a British perspective). Please don't change. If Literotica is requiring people to write "American," I think that is extremely narrow-minded.
I agree, UKBloke2022, about Bryson's The Mother Tongue. It is absolutely the most informative book on the English language that I've ever read. Lots of great knowledge on how the Anglo-Saxon, Viking and Norman invasions influenced the language, sometimes in unexpected ways. It also provides some insights into how Australian and American accents came to be so different from the British, and not necessarily in the way that people might think.
Huh. I’m aware of many differences between American English and British English, but I had never noticed that BE puts punctuation outside the quotes like that. I’ll have to keep my eyes out for that.
I agree that non-American writers should not feel the need to follow the American convention just because much of the membership here is American. There are plenty of members from the British Isles, Australia, and other places where British English is the norm. Write they way you’re comfortable writing. Personally, I will keep following American conventions (including ass, color and aluminum) because I don’t pretend to be other than American, but I wouldn’t impose that on the rest of the world.

I've mentioned this to the dev team before. I think it gets listed by the date you first saved the draft or something. So if yours is a re-edit or something, that would explain it
I think that’s exactly it. I noticed the same during the Noir comp.
Well, it’s a little lighter than some of the other fare but I’ve thrown my hat in the increasingly crowded ring. I hope a few people like it: https://www.lushstories.com/stories/threesomes/compensation

i need to trim 47 word. not so many, but it seems like an impossible task. I did go off on a tangent talking about a wrist watch's origin, so i think that's going to have to go... lol
Similar deal here. I've been through several end-to-end re-edits on mine now, and I'm stubbornly 150 words over after each pass. Every time I trim a few words I find a few more that make the story better. No wristwatches though, so something else will have to go. I'll get there, but maybe not by Feb. 1 as I had hoped.
For better or worse, the vast majority of my sexual encounters have been with somebody within three years of my own age. Never been with anyone older than that, though as a young man I found older women incredibly hot. No takers, unfortunately.
In the other direction, I once slept with a 17 year old when I was 24. That’s illegal in some states, but legal in the state where it happened (statutory age of 16).
I think we all know that technically men have breasts too, but most of us can infer that’s not the question here. Men’s breasts are generally different (and not just in size, although often that too) from women’s breasts.
The question was pretty clearly what would you do if you had lady-style breasts for a day.
How long curous before acting on it? Many years. I always knew I'd love a cock in my mouth. I've only acted on it once, when I was about twenty-five, so according to Lush's rules of engagement that's at least nine years.
Ever had same sex fun in dangerous place. Yes, my one encounter was in an adult video establishment, when a guy made eye contact with me through a gloryhole and stuck his cock through. I had, had, HAD to suck it: https://www.lushstories.com/stories/bisexual/a-hole-new-world-1
Have you ever been turned on by site of big cock,like example above. All the time. The sight of a hard cock can turn me on as much as a beautiful pair of breasts or a pussy.
Have you ever been in bi sexual swap or orgy style fun? No. I wish.
Wildest thing you have done involving guys playing together? The gloryhole thing. That was my only time.
I think sprite's post on page 1 hilariously summed up the absurdity of the question.
But seriously, while I love giving oral sex, four hours?! Even one hour?! I've never timed it, but I doubt I've gone over fifteen minutes very many times. Generally the woman has either orgasmed by that time (although I once had a girlfriend who accidentally leaked while I was down on her - see my "Daphne's Bath Accident" story), or wants to switch to something else. If she hasn't cum after a few minutes of me licking her, in my experience she either wants to switch gears to sucking me (giving her pussy a rest for a few minutes, meaning no 69 even though I adore it) or stop fucking around and put my damn cock in her already.

sadly not but I did have a great dream which is the basis for a story of mine!
Thanks for the link. Great story. Sucking myself is probably my most common sexual dream. Like I said, I'm a selfish bastard.
Well, after a couple hours playing with them, and seeing if they're big and/or soft enough for me to suck on the nipples ...
Go to the gym for a few hours. Do some weight work, bounce up and down on the treadmill for half an hour, then see how many guys follow me back to the locker room. Next, hang out in the jacuzzi, the steam room and the sauna for a long time - topless of course. See how many guys try to hide their erections. See how many guys don't bother trying to hide. See how much more attention I get versus on a normal day. If I get a proposition or two, maybe take them up on it. Sounds a little scary and a little fun.
Forward cowgirl, so I can suck on her tits, or alternate between that and kissing her. Also gives her a chance to grind her clit against my pelvis, which at least for some women has been essential (whether or not they fully realized it) in getting to orgasm.
Lesbian porn (without too many toys, preferably), hairy-women porn (I'm about as attracted to bald pussies as I am to baldheaded women ... in other words sometimes, but the hair adds a lot), bi porn, gay porn even though I'd rather see women involved because most bi porn is so unbelievably bad.
Private fireworks displays always seem kind of pathetic to me. "Look at me, and my sad little exploding penises!" Leave it to the pros. I think most people who do it think everyone loves it, but they only hear from the ones who do. The majority of their neighbors do NOT enjoy it unless it's one of those special holidays where fireworks are normal.
It terrifies all the pets in the neighborhood and wakes up babies. I can't tell you how many times I'd finally gotten my kids off to sleep when some asshole on the other side of the block decided to blow off a few mortars. The worst is when they do like one every fifteen minutes. I've also seen private fireworks land on roofs and start fires, and even had the wooden siding of my house hit by a jerkweed firework once.
I'm okay with private fireworks two times of the year: New Year's and Independence Day. Fine, have your fun. Kind of a given they'll happen anyway, even if they are illegal where I live. But the rest of the year: just don't. Save 'em for the next fireworks-friendly holiday, give your neighbors some peace and limit the neighborhood pets to two nights of outright terror.
I absolutely love 69.
Beyond that, as far as actual fucking I love every position I've tried. What's most enjoyable is whatever position gets the woman excited. As a guy, I can get off in any position. A lot of women can't: I've been with women who absolutely, positively must be on top; and I've been with women who absolutely, positively must be on the bottom. Whatever works for her will work for me, guaranteed.

AFTER I CUM MY LIBIDO FALLS OFF A CLIFF.
I've had that happen a lot too: as soon as I cum, sometimes I suddenly lose interest.
That happened more when I was younger. As I've gotten older (ironically, as I've gotten further from being able to suck myself), I think I've shifted a notch or two on the ol' Kinsey Scale, and I now get more into slurping down my own stuff.
I would agree that in general, American culture does not portray Asian men as very sexy or manly.
That doesn't mean that they aren't sexy or manly in reality, however. Personally, like RowanThorn I do find often find Asian guys attractive. There's an Asian-American dude I worked with not too long ago ... I bumped into him once at a fast-casual restaurant, ended up having lunch and great conversation together, and walked away thinking, "Damn, that could have been a pretty decent first date." Or better yet, just the beginning of one. The other man in my "Lewd Beach" story is based on him.
Traci Lords. Her career took off about the same time as my access to VHS-rental porn. I saw several of her films before the news broke that she was only 16 (still old enough for Lush guidelines, right?). Then most of her work disappeared forever.
After that, Christy Canyon and Ginger Lynn.
Oh, can't forget the men! Peter North and Joey Silvera too.
