How about allowing stories to fit in two categories, eg Lesbian Love Poems, Bisexual BDSM, Interracial crossdressing (?!)
My only suggestion would be a Lush or cyber category for those stories about user experiences here or with online relationships generally
What Poppet says makes some sort of sense, I guess. No real difference between it and a guy calling a girl "baby"...
That said, it makes still my skin crawl.
What feels worse for you right now? His treatment of you or the fact that you've gone along with it for so long?
Stop the evidence gathering - it reduces you. Don't end up being the psycho girlfriend - you have the high ground here, keep it along with your dignity and just walk away from him.
What Belledujour says is spot on when she talks about men and women who proclaim and demand exclusivity. He knows just how good those words sound to you, he's just not willing to act in the same way as he talks.
I wouldn't buy the "I'll give up Lush" line either.
Are you on O2?
O2 restricts user access to sites that may be of an adult nature on their network - you need to prove that you're over 18. You can do this at any O2 shop but you have to be prepared to do it again once every year or so. There's probably a way of doing it online.
The problem I see is that the treatment in the law is moving away from copyright infringement and on to indecency. Who owns the image is immaterial, the content and how it's used is the issue. I don't see this as an intellectual property case, it's more similar to a defamation case.
With copyright infringement a simple "cease and desist" is usually fine but now if an offending image was ever there you could be in danger of legal action.
I like the idea of a Recommended Read idea, of course by its very nature it's going to be subjective, maybe it could include the mod's comment as a "roll-over" to say why it's recommended - in the same way you'd see critics' praises on the back of a book.
Recognition features like this have a direct effect on retaining authors on the site: two-thirds of authors who have been awarded Editor's Choice have been active on Lush in the last month - twice the retention figure of authors in general.
Could I suggest a story icon for those publishing to Lush for the first time, irrespective of how good it is.

Everything exerts a gravitational pull. It's extremely weak unless the thing is massive - like a planet. Everything that makes that planet wants to fall to its centre of gravity. Everything. When everything falls towards the centre of an object, over time the object will become more and more spherical.
The smaller a body is the less likely it will be spherical. Mars' two moons are much much smaller than ours and are irregular misshapen lumps.
Actually Earth isn't a perfect sphere. As it spins around it bulges a bit at the equator and is a bit flat at the poles.
I draw the line if I burn my arse on the lightbulb when i get on top of her
I would imagine she deleted it herself. I'm not aware that she broke any of the site rules. I understand the powers that be will delete accounts if they discover one person having more than one account on here but I have no idea if that's the case here.
It wasn't her first account so maybe she'll be back.
You sound like you're having a great time during sex but if the guy doesn't feel like he's any more involved than your dildo might be, what's his motivation to try? If you're entirely responsible for your own orgasm all you're effectively doing is rubbing yourself off on each other.
I've been with women with whom I've really had to work hard to get an orgasm (or not), I've also been with women who seem to have something similar to orgasmic hiccups during sex. To be honest the best sex is somewhere in between, where I know she's enjoying it because of what I'm doing to her as much as what she's doing to me
I guess it depends on the circumstances surrounding both parties cheating but I wouldn't hold out much hope of full trust returning.
If they both cheated independently, ie without knowledge of the other's infidelity, then maybe they deserve each other - it's up to them to decide whether or not they can bear being with someone who is just as bad as they are but maybe they can carry on together in an open relationship. If one partner cheated as a revenge fuck for the other's infidelity, I'd say there's little or no hope for them long term.
I did a quick rummage to see if I could see any patterns in tendency to comment.
Women comment slightly more than men do, but the key factor appears to be age: woman aged 27 or over are THREE TIMES more likely to have the "Commentator" badge than those under 27. For men the disparity is even more pronounced with over 27s FIVE TIMES more likely to have the badge.
Blow out your candles, you filthy minx
If you're in any kind of relationship that is not safe, sane and consensual, what kind of relationship are you in?
