Is the sky blue on a sunny day? Is the ocean wet? This fucking question just won't die.

I'm a very oral person, so tasting you would be top of my list.

Well, good. It's a lot less harmful if you're letting this happen at a party than in front of the grocery store. I would not at all be surprised if you could peel one (or two!) of these women off from the group and go do something sexual with more privacy. Either at the party or afterward.

It's pretty obvious you want to have sex with a smaller woman who will degrade and/or dominate you. You want a woman who will fondle and suckle those big breasts, maybe even smack them a bit. I suspect you probably want to play with their little tittles, too. And I'm guessing you'll want to escalate to some kind of orgasmic release since your husband isn't giving you that, and as you say, this is making you horny as hell.

Finding a safer, more private outlet for these desires will keep you out of bigger trouble, and give you the strength to stand up to anyone who tries to humiliate you in full public view, allowing which is self-destructive and also (as I mentioned) harmful to your husband as well as the confidence and safety of other women.

Another cherry to be popped here, but I also suspect I'm a top so maybe I could take both of yours. We three should meet up sometime for an MMM, perhaps. 😎

Who knows? Maybe someday. I might be vers, so maybe you could pump me and tickle my prostate, making me squirt into Hasabrain. Fun to think about.

Quote by 2bespanked

There was an instance this year of a woman who took Lush stories word for word and published them on Amazon for sale as her work. I tried to report that to Amazon (as a friend of the real author), but not being my work, they rejected my request to have them taken down.

That's disturbing that they'd rule like a court of law that you don't have "standing," and refuse to look into it. Did you at least let the impacted authors know, so that they could complain to Amazon? Lord knows, if someone did this to me, I would have no idea.

Is there a wait for submissions to be look at?

Yes. As a Platinum member, I find it to be 2-5 days. For others, it can be a week, sometimes longer. The wait times got really long earlier this year (I think up to two weeks in some cases) as the moderators were really overloaded. They are underpaid (i.e., not paid) and overworked, and they read every single word of every entry, including some that are really poorly written or violate Lush rules. And they are now absolutely inundated with AI slop. How they keep from losing their minds, I have no idea.

Wish I could, but I'm not looking to do anything physical at this time. Sounds fun, though, especially if you were to reciprocate. I still have my cherry too.

Taking this on face value, it is quite a situation. I can't say that I've ever heard of anyone - male or female - getting away with publicly groping and humiliating someone like that. I would suggest that you:

1. Do not tolerate being treated like this publicly. It is sexual assault, period. Even if it secretly turns you on, which is something I encourage you to explore some other way. If it continues, consider pressing charges. If doing so blows up the social order of your town, too fucking bad. This behavior must never be tolerated, and doing so gives them license to do it to others in the future.

2. Explore your internal feelings for other women. Like you said at the beginning, don't worry about labels, especially the binary label "straight," which is basically meaningless. The vast majority of people have at least some occasional attraction to the same sex. You probably have the most common sexual orientation there is, the peak of the bell curve: those that Kinsey described as "Predominantly heterosexual, but at least incidentally homosexual" in their attractions. Yes, it's normal.

And let's talk about the meaning of the word "attraction" or "attracted," since you said, "I'm not attracted to them but at the same time I'm interested in sex with them." Yes, you are sexually attracted to them, because that's literally what "interested in sex with" means. You're just not romantically attracted. Those are two different things, although many struggle to even recognize a distinction, finding that their sexual attraction aligns perfectly with their romantic attraction. Until some point in their lives when it doesn't, which is what you are describing. This is normal.

Enjoy the freedom this can give you! Exploring sex with someone who attracts you sexually, but doesn't pose a romantic risk to your marriage, might be exactly what you need.

And speaking of your marriage, given that yours is sexless, it's especially normal to become more interested in the same sex. Your subconscious may be steering you that way, because it feels less like cheating. Again, normal.

3. Explore your submissive side. You may be getting turned on by this because you enjoy having someone else in control or otherwise subjugating you. That's normal too (and particularly common amongst people like yourself who are used to being socially dominant). But it would be a lot safer for you to explore your dom/sub feelings privately than in public like this.

4. Consider actually hooking up with a local woman who turns you on and you think you can trust not to humiliate you publicly. It might not be any of these three, but I think it's likely that other women, seeing what's happened, may come up to you privately and express sympathy. Not only might you find a mutual interest with one of these women, one of them might even be willing to dominate you in private, but in a more respectful way. If you don't find anyone locally, and - as you say - you have plenty of money, it is very easy to find dom women online who will give you want. It may even be that you don't actually want to actually have sex with a woman, you just want one to dominate you. The Internet is crawling with dom women of all strips who will indulge you. In fact, I get the impression there are a few mistresses right here in the Lush membership who get off on that kind of thing, and might do it for free.

5. You might want to examine some deeper questions too. Are you allowing youself to be publicly shamed (and presumably socially shunned as a result) because you hate this town and you're trying to self-sabotage your presence there? There may be a better way out than with your tails between your legs. I use the plural because your husband is also being shamed by extension. Are you on some level allowing this to happen out of resentment towards him?

Best of luck to you.

Matt has been stuck in a rut since high school, acting like a bit too much of a man's man. Although he and Joe trade bro-jobs regularly, he's never progressed beyond that level. Joe is certain there is more depth to Matt's Bisexuality locked away somewhere, but he's been struggling to find the key. And in a Very Special Episode, Becoming A Man: A Becoming Man, Matt hands it to him.

I've been wanting to write a cross-dressing story for some time, knowing that it's an important enhancement for many Bi men's fantasy and/or sex lives. So here you have me covering yet another variation of Bisexuality, just in time to wrap up Pride Month! Matt's blustery macho attitude is what caused Sarah to leave him at the end of high school. Now she's finished college and moving back to town, and he wants his true love back. So he shocks me by showing up for dinner as Mattie, a feminine alter ego I never knew existed.

Making himself vulnerable to me in exploring not only his feminine side, but (an even bigger shock) his submissive side, is not only the key to Matt(ie)'s deeper Bisexuality, it just might be the key to becoming a better-balanced man and winning back his beloved Sarah.

No, I am not transsexual, nor even gender questioning, nor really into cross-dressing. But I took the test anyway.

I later found is that the quiz is "designed specifically for the uncertain pre-transitional Male-to-Female gender dysphoric," but I still took it because the question page doesn't clarify its intended audience. I had some difficulties answering some things, because questions like "Why do you dress like a woman?" don't allow for a negative or "not applicable" response, and "How do you self identify?" doesn't allow for a fully Male response. Also, it seems that more of the questions reference stereotypical "male" vs "female" abilities and attributes (math, spatial reasoning, finding your way around; versus music, writing, empathy, reading people's emotions, remembering faces) than about how you feel about your identity, appearance and life experience with respect to gender.

Somehow my own result was a score of -75 (on a scale of what I'm not sure), corresponding to "COGIATI classification THREE, ANDROGYNE." "What this means is that the Combined Gender Identity And Transsexuality Inventory has classified your internal gender identity to be essentially androgynous, both male and female at the same time, or possibly neither. In some cultures in history, you would be considered to be a third sex, independent of the polarities of masculine or feminine. Your gender issues [sic] are intrinsic to your construction, and you will most likely find your happiness playing with expressing both genders as you feel like it."

That's pretty far off. Although I am very good at certain classic "masculine"-identified attributes like geometry, math, finding my way around, I have also striven throughout my life for balance, being very good with music and with (duh, I'm a writer on Lush) the written word, and most of my workplaces have strongly valued teamwork and collaboration. So apparently that makes me Androgyne? To me, these things are about me expressing my abilities and interests, not about me expressing one gender or the other. Although I'm not ultra-masculine in my physical appearance (definitely not big, tall, hairy, muscular, etc.), I've never thought of myself as female or feminine, nor has anyone close to me ever suggested that, nor have I ever once been aware that someone misidentified me as non-male. While do I try not to avoid toxic masculinity, that doesn't make me Androgyne. I am well aware of the "third sex" concept and I respect it, but it ain't remotely me.

So here is my question to those who are genderquestioning, genderqueer or fully transitioned: Given that it focuses more on traditional gender expectations than it does on your personal experience, feelings and expression of gender, is this test helpful to you? I understand that gender identity can't completely be separated from societal norms, and that one often becomes aware of gender dysphoria as the result of their individual traits not matching the expectations of their assigned gender ... so might this be helpful for a younger audience still exploring their abilities and figuring out who they are? I have known many, many people with multiple attributes that misalign versus the expectations: guys who are terrible at directions or are exceptionally empathetic and collaborative; and cis (and trans) women who are really good at math and spatial reasoning or are crudely insensitive. Does focusing so heavily on traditional gender stereotypes contribute to the quality of this questionnaire? Do you find it validating?

No, it isn't monochrome, just (mostly) inverse, with text appearing as light grey on dark grey. Everything that appears in normal mode as red text is pink in dark mode. But you're right that the hearts aren't red, as I had thought, so I had that part wrong. When you click on "Like", the rectangle surrounding the light grey heart and the count turns from the same dark grey as the background to black, so you can easily see that you've hit Like. But when you return to the same page later, it's no longer highlighted in this way.

Quote by kistinspencil

This happens in all modes. Likes are temporary, disappearing at random. It's been that way for ages and reported many times.

No, this is a different bug than that. I think you're describing how the Like count resets to 0 on certain items, like Media images, Group posts and Story comments. That indeed happens in both modes.

This one happens on items (like Stories themselves, and I think also Forum posts) where the Like count is correct and Likes don't disappear without a reason. The issue is that it doesn't correctly show with a red heart whether you've liked it or not. Works properly in light mode, not in dark.

There is a minor bug in Dark Mode that the little "Likes" hearts only show up as red temporarily when you click Like. During subsequent visits to the same page they won't show as red. So it might look like you haven't Liked something before, even though you have. And then you think, "Huh! How could I not have Liked that before?" So you click the Like button, and the counter goes down instead of up. And you click Like again to restore it. Which I'm sure results in the owner of that past getting a second notification.

Minor annoyance, but definitely an annoyance.

Having just split my recent county fair story into two chapters due to its length, I've submitted "A Becoming Man," the sequel that finally shows me the way through Matt's facade to get him to explore his Bisexuality more deeply. And with those two Fair entries in the Money genre, I've achieved Prolific Author status! Going for Omnium in 2027.

I've also nearly finished the first draft of "Bowling for Real," in which Brenda (whom I met in Fair Fare Trade) gets a turn at finally exploring her own Bisexuality, and in which multiple life truths will be revealed and life decisions made. There might be a Medical story involving Matt too.

And I'm starting on "Succumbing to Good Intentions," the second chapter in my gay Succumbing to Destiny series, as well as "Oregon Steam," my gay Steampunk entry. And with Halloween just a few months away, I'm fleshing out my ideas for my Monster story, and possibly Horror too.

Due to its length, I have split my recent story, Fair Fare Trade, into two separate chapters, the second part entitled Fair-ly Bisexual. In the first chapter, Brenda and Kaitlyn encourage (okay, bribe - yes, with money) Matt into taking his first step in expanding his Bisexuality beyond the rut he's been stuck in. In the second, his bravery in turn encourages Brenda to take her very first step in exploring her Bisexuality, which she has been desperate to do.

Both the male and female paths of Bisexual exploration will continue in forthcoming chapters. I'm about to submit "A Becoming Man" for publication, in which Matt will greatly expand his Bisexuality as he takes a HUGE leap in becoming a more well-rounded man. After that will come "Bowling for Real," where Brenda will finally get the chance to have sex with a woman, helping her with a major life decision.

Also, with these Fair stories in the Money genre, I've finally earned the Prolific Writer Badge (in which I find myself with some amazing company), meaning that I have published stories in 80% of Lush's genres! I hope to reach the Omnium level (all genres) sometime in 2027. The last few are the hardest, but I do at least have basic story ideas for all the remaining ones. Even Steampunk, which I hope to tackle by this Fall.

Interesting if disappointing twist. Thanks for figuring this out, Mit.

I have to admit, although I'm not really into hookup culture and would mostly want to be with guys that I've gotten to know a little, I have the feeling I'd have to try this at least once. Being in a warm place with a bunch of naked men, many of them erect, some of them having sex with each other, and all you have to do is exchange some looks and maybe words with another guy, and you get right to pleasuring each other? I'm hard right now just thinking about it.

Jody, i understand you might go in a little more aggressively than I would, but if someone goes into a place like this, at first keeping to himself (maybe just to get his bearings), would guys typically approach him right away or leave him to himself initially?

Quote by KimmiBeGood
Scare my panties off, Joe! 😈

So that's what it takes to get your panties off! I do have a unique Monster story outlined in my head, though it involves sex with the monster and might be more sexy than scary. I'm going to need to work up a Horror story that hits the reader with a few good jump scares. Thinking ...

You won't lose anything if you're just changing the series (or tags, or Genre) as long as you don't edit the content or the photo. You can do this for former contest entries too! Only after the competition has ended, of course. I've done this for a number of former contest entries, at least a couple of which were RRs.

Not sure if fixing typos would cause you to lose an RR, though. It would cause you to be removed as a contest entry, I think.

I haven't totally figured it out either. Some of my favorite pieces has proven quite popular, while others have not been. That said, there are two factors that seem to make a difference - at least with my readership, which skews towards bi-curious middle-aged men.

• Story length. Two of the contest entries I'm proudest of, and have gotten Recommended Read recognition, remain remarkably low in how many reads and Likes they've garnered. I'm sure that's because they're 9000 words and 5000 words, respectfully. I've mostly learned my lesson and broken longer stories into chapters, although the story I published this morning (which I stubbornly refused to split up) is also 5k. We'll see what happens.

• Gay or bi-male content. The subset of regular Lush readers I've attracted tend to like man-on-man action, and stories that include gay sex tend to do well, the naughtier and more transgressive the better. My straight stories (yes, I write those too!) and lesbian stories (admittedly, I've only done one that's purely woman-to-woman) tend not to do as well. I put my heart and soul into "Dating Daphne," a man-woman story that was my 100th, and into which I distilled the passion I've felt for a variety of women over the years. But it and its follow-up story, which even added woman-on-woman action into the mix) have garnered barely half the score of the two fully gay stories I published around the same time, despite similar numbers of reads.

Bottom line: I keep writing for myself about my passions, and just hope for the best in terms of audience reception.

I tend to release them as I write them. I might have two or more upcoming chapters in Draft, but I rarely sit on a chapter that I feel is fully polished and ready to go.

For some of my series, like It's A Date! (paused several years ago) and Succumbing to Destiny (launched this year), I have all of the remaining chapters outlined, but have yet to write them, and I've recently hit that goal for my expected-to-reach-novel-length Becoming A Man series as well. Tear-jerking climactic ending included.

I'm celebrating Bisexuality (and not just my own) during this Pride Month. In Becoming A Man: Fair Fare Trade, partners of both sexes push their Bisexual boundaries, enthusiastically encouraged by the opposite sex in what can only be described as a fair trade, starting with the glorious excess of an all-American county fair. Money (real and funny) will also change hands.

This story's a bit of a slower burn, with a lot of sweltering summer sensory overload and flirtatious banter. I thought of shortening it, but this is the story I want to tell. I hope you'll bear with me and let the summer sensory overload envelop you. I promise you scorching heat!

By the way, the doors that this story starts prying open will take two more chapters ("A Becoming Man," "Bowling for Real") to fully reveal what lurks behind. I will work on those next.

Sorry I missed this earlier. Congratulations to you both!

I had long thought Steampunk would be the most difficult genre for me, followed by Supernatural and Fantasy/Sci-Fi. But I've since come up with what I think are excellent ideas for those, though I won't get around to writing them for some time. BDSM should have been a tough one too, but I figured out how to do a very mild one without offending myself.

I think the hardest ones for me will be Horror, Monster and Mind Control. One way or the other, I'm going to make sure I tackle Horror or Monster for this Halloween, though.

Quote by TallWillie

Hell yes. Penises are beautiful

Well said!

And as I said a few pages back, I'd do it with or without her presence.

Haven't pushed one out in over two months, but I am working on a sweltering summer-fun story in which people are dared to try something that makes them uncomfortable, for money. I hope to get it, and possibly a boundary-crossing sequel, published during Pride Month.

EDIT, 6/8: It's done! See "Fair Fare Trade" in my signature. I won't say it leaves loose ends exactly, but there are things left open, demanding that I follow up with the next two stories ("A Becoming Man" and "Bowling for Real") fairly soon.

Congratulations! Being about to cross the Prolific threshold, I am starting to glimpse Omnium in the distance. But I suspect that like the Rockies seen from across the Great Plains, the destination is further than it appears, as we have to get through those last few categories we have been avoiding. And you made it! Great work.

Here is a related forum post for your perusal.

https://www.lushstories.com/forum/ask-readers/new-user-question-saving-a-story-to-my-computer

That’s an extremely relevant thread, and its OP even stated the same intent: to make changes to the story to make it more relevant, in that case to read it to his wife. The answer is still a hard NO.

It’s not just plagiarism (which is not generally illegal). It’s copyright infringement (which IS). I’ve invested thousands of hours of blood, sweat, tears and cum into writing my stories, and although I don’t expect to ever make a dime from it, they remain my intellectual property. You may read and enjoy and masturbate to these stories, but your rights end there.

There are so many tens of thousands of stories on here, covering every possible kink and quirk. If you’re still unsatisfied and feeling the need to customize, then you know what you need to do. Start writing your own. And the important part of that is your own. If you’re not confident in your abilities, there is a whole writing-tips forum dedicated to helping you learn. And if the formal publishing process is too much, you can always post something to one of the groups.

If your story is already fully published, you will see Edit and Delete buttons between the story stats and the comments. Click Edit, and you can make any changes you want, including what Mit described, and then you’ll hit Publish as usual.

If you are only changing tags, genre and/or series, 90-95% chance it will republish immediately with no moderation required. Every once in a while it will send your story back for your moderation, and no one knows why, but that’s fairly rare. Also, if you change anything in the body text, caption, author’s notes or the cover photo, it will get sent back for moderation, obviously.

Congratulations to the winners and everyone else involved! I am embarrassed to say that while I kept up with the entries for a while (and have read well over half), I don't think I've read half of the thirteen yet.

Of those I have read, all are excellent but I was particularly taken with Kimmi's spin on fluidity, GreyMatter's tale of immersion in a great sea, and WannaBeWordsmith's ... well, more-than-just-wannabe wordsmithing, which still has me chuckling over "name Toblerone." Can't wait to read the others.
