In one of Ricky Gervais' "EXTRA" scripts, A Very Famous Actress, (It might have been Kate Winslett...) says, "If you want to win an Oscar play a retard or a Nazi..."

Quote by UberSlut69
I've been contemplating getting a tatto for awhile now, but I don't want people to look at it and say, "Wow that's trashy." or "Why do women even bother with tattoos?" So I just thought I would 'ask the guys' What is you take on women with tattoos? And where (if any) do you think is a bad spot to get one?
If you want one, have one. Personally, I'm ambivalent towards them. I've never seen one that I thought looks great or sexy and I certainly don't consider them art
I don't judge people with tattoos - unless it's words! Some pointless platitude like "Everything happens for a reason" scrawled up the inside of someone's forearm? Is that meant to make them look philosophical? Or worse... the names of their kids! What, can't you remember?

Interesting profile. Following someone called love_always who hasn't been on the site in over three years, and a favourite story published over a year ago by someone called semprecorneo (translates as "always horny").

So, before I publish another story I should change my AV back to the picture of my boobs?
Of course, the numbers say so!
Anything else would definitely be misleading

There is a definite advantage if you're an author and have av of a sexy woman.
Go to buy a magazine; the ones aimed at men have beautiful women on the covers, the ones aimed at women have beautiful women on the covers. There's a reason for this.

Ok, I did a tiny bit of analysis to see if I could back this up. I took a random sample of three pages of story links from about a week ago, I didn't count the stories because they attract an abnormally high amount of votes compared to other catergories.

Total sample: 40 stories

A very small sample but certainly enough to lend weight to what most people would assume to be true

I guess it's all part of the method v classical argument. Reminds me of that apocryphal story of Hoffman and Olivier - Hoffman had apparently stayed awake for days in preparation for a particularly harrowing scene. Completely unimpressed, Olivier said to him "have you tried acting, dear boy?"

Quote by one_winged_angel
I have a special folder where I put all my thank you's. They're always appreciated and it's nice to know the author's happy. They range from a short 'tnx' to a "Thank you" or to a "You freaking rock and if I ever meet you, I'll buy you a shot of whatever you want."
I like knowing the author's happy, but it's not a must. So no obligation, but we still appreciate them.
So what do you to the ones that don't send you a thank you - do they get put on some kind of list?

Paddles have a far too inorganic action for my liking, I find even rulers are too rigid - they will often leave one feeling too disconnected from the subject (I can also appreciate that may be the attraction for some people).
You won't get the same response from lightly trailing a paddle over someone's skin as you will with a leather belt.
Of course, neither are as effective as an open palm, especially if combined with the other hand firmly holding your subject in place.

Quote by SamBrown
It seems to me 'overmykneenow' that you either have had experience of living in a relationship where there is an imbalance in the sex-drives of the two parties, in which case I am certain that you would have a great deal of empathy with 'blazestcyr' or you have been fortunate not to in which case you really aren't qualified to comment
I'm merely pointing out that an imbalance of sex drive is more than likely the symptom of problems within a relationship, rather than the cause of it.
Loved "Stop", by the way.

I changed my av temporarily over new year then changed it back - since then i've noticed that anyone following my stories now has a broken image link in their following list.
Looking at the HTML it still thinks it's a gif when it's now gone back to being a jpeg

Do you remember Googlewhacking? It was a craze a few years back where people would put in two words into google that would yield just one found result. Of course as soon at the terms were discovered and posted on the internet they were no longer googlewhacks.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googlewhack
I wondered the other day if there were any words that appear in any of stories that appear in none of the other 30,000+ stories on this website. And I found one!
My first lushwhack is... "approximations" which only appears in my story Three Bears (though the singular version yields six results)
Words that got close: "stropped" which appears in two stories and "opiates" that appears in three - two of which were written by me!
I'm the only one to mention the English town of Retford but I'm think proper names should probably be disqualified. As should typos ;)
So come on then - what are your unique words?

I always say, it's better to regret the things you do than regret the things you don't do.
Unfortunately, mid-life crises come about when you realise that you're getting too old to repeat the stuff you should regret, or worse, too old to do all the stuff you haven't done.
Trust me. You'll do plenty of stuff you'll regret once you get past 40. Have a great birthday

... was married ...
Suggests to me there were more problems with your relationship than sex
Insecurity, a lack of empathy, money worries, bereavement are among many things that can all affect your sex drive in either direction. The more balanced your relationship is the more compatible your needs will be.

We need to work on your theory overmykneenow... Any of the guys I know aren't even looking me in the face. They're too busy staring at my "twins".
if a short girl is in front of me i get to see the face and the funbags at the same time - win-double!

I have a theory on this that I came with when I noticed that most of my friends who are 6ft or over have wives/gfs shorter than the average height for women
The theory goes like this: tall guys are attracted to shorter women because they look more attractive facially. What a load of crap, I hear every woman over 5'5 grumble while the short ones nod sagely in agreement with me... but hear me out.
Take a pair of twins and stand each of them in front of two men - one man the same height as they are, the other a foot taller. From 2 yards away Twin A looks straight into the eyes of the shorter man and looks pretty much like her passport photo. Twin B however has to tilt her head upwards, firming the skin around the jaw, fore-shortening the face so that it tapers slightly towards the chin and the eyes seem bigger - all of which are seen generally as more more attractive qualities.
People understand this, which is why there are a billion facebook self-portraits taken by people holding their phone up above their eyeline. Short girls, naturally go around like this all the time.
Well that's my theory anyway

This is so urgent you needed to put it on three separate forums.
First thing you have to do is take a deep breath and calm down. Ever wondered if he's fed up of your mistrust and ultimatums? It sounds like neither of you are making each other happy - there's no shame in making a judgement call on the relationship and saying that it doesn't work and probably never will.
Yes, it hurts. But it happens, a hell of a lot. You'll heal, you'll find someone better.

Quote by PhareDuFour
I am not opposed to the story, but to the labels. Like I said, they don't call BDSM "Pervert Sex" and they don't call Gale Male "Faggot Sex", so why can't they call it "Age Play" intead of "MILF Sex"?
Just sayin'.
Writers will hopefully want as many people to see their stories as possible, I would think there are a lot more readers finding lush through google with the search term "MILF sex stories" rather than the more policitically correct "age gap related sex stories".
A similar topic recently came up regarding the interracial category - with a lot of very interesting ideas for and against it keeping it. In my opinion though it suits us all to have as many people as possible who are interested in seeing our stuff finding it. Popular terms such as MILF, cougar etc while we may not like them are part of the porn vernacular. The categories on Lush reflect that agenda, they don't set it.
As authors we should be looking to push the boundaries or surprise readers - while at the same time giving them what they will enjoy reading. The categories can allow you to play with perceptions if you want to. Or you can just write about a good hard fuck.

If we had it like that, when someone wants to do a member search, it would probably end up rather pointless.
Only 20% of users have this filled in any way which might suggest that it doesn't meet current needs. You could still have it as a searchable field though even if it was user-defined.

In most online encounters we're restricted to our imaginations - occasionally this may develop to a visual and/or audible experience but these only ever excite the two least effective senses when it comes to sex - sight and hearing.
There is a huge fetishistic aspect to this behaviour - possessing something physical and intimate will always have a powerful psychological stimulus - but being able to smell her scent will ramp things up even more. I can't think of another sense that has the ability to attract or repel as much as smell does.
Of course, normal game rules apply when it comes to dishing out personal data. Other things to consider rather than being something to cement a bond it might just be trophy hunting or worse could be an indicator to more unhealthy sexual appetites (paedophiles and other sex offenders often retain the panties of their victims)
