The faces/expressions made out of punctuation marks drive me crazy. Are we all three years old and unable to read words like grown-ups?

This is not cool (or kewl) but symptomatic of the dumbing down of everything in popular culture. It is a deliberate laziness and ignorance that will not lead to anything good. Try applying to a professional school or for an upper level position writing in text speak. I don't think it will make a great impression. Literacy matters.

(I just read what I wrote and understand that I am now officially an old curmudgeon, but I don't take it back.)
A good start would be a post describing your story and what help you need.

I do have some suggestions for you before you hand your story off to someone else. First, read all of the material on grammar, formatting, etc. in the Writer's Resources. Do not rely on spell check alone as you proof your story as it does not catch mistakes that are words producing unfortunate errors like, "he put his hands on my waste". Put in some of your own time and, even if someone proofs it for you, make an effort to learn from your mistakes and the corrections that are made. That is the way to become a better writer.

And the previous post was correct. Please is good manners.
There are many songs for many reasons from many genres and eras: Diana Krall singing "You're My Thrill" and "The Look of Love", The Stones' "Satisfaction", music from Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Tony Bennett and Billie Holliday (although these may be more romantic than explicit), but the iconic explicit song of all time has to be Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin singing "Je t'aime" - with sounds in the background clearly indicating what they were doing as they recorded.

What I am trying to communicate is that you are wilfully blind to the damage that , abuse, and violence do in reality, by prettying it up under the guise of fantasy. It is disingenuous of you to pretend it is anything else.

I have been very clear. We will not agree about this.

In fact I do know several people who have been the victim of several of the things you listed, so there goes that theory of yours. Yes, I approach this from the view of fantasy... because the subject matter is fantasies. Fantasies about things which, in real life, are horrible and painful. That's the beauty of fantasy, it's not reality.

I haven't left yet. In fact, I am grateful for the actual answers I've been receiving to my questions. I am not thankful for presumptuous attacks on the validity of the discussion. My questions are sincere. I'm looking for answers and attempting to understand something. Help me, or don't.

If you don't mind some conjecture, it seems, to me, that stories are not allowed because some members seem to get offended at the mere mention of them. If those members are at all representative of the group, then I completely understand why they're not allowed.

Yes, I am slightly upset because some of my stories inch into these areas, because I like to write about things specifically because those things cannot happen, or I would be morally opposed to them. I can explore them only in fantasy, so I do. I have a few relatively safe stories to share here, but I'm ultimately upset that I have to censor myself to make sure I don't break a rule that I don't empathize with.

Yet, I am okay with the rule, since this is not my site. It simply makes writing harder, because I must artificially avoid certain topics.



That is the problem with your point of view. It is reality and nothing can change that. Your logic implies that if you fantasize, it makes it so. Nothing will take away the pain and ugliness of the reality. Fantasizing does not make it so.
I will be blunt, Callidus. You approach this from the point of view of fantasy. Do you have any idea what it is like to be the victim of a , or sexual abuse as a child, or violence? Or has that happened to anyone close to you? I suspect not. If it had these questions would not have been asked and you would have accepted the answers that have been graciously provided to you.

The reality of , abuse, and violence is not pretty or artistic or the stuff of fantasy. It is ugly and painful and criminal, and far more prevalent than any of us would like to think. Frankly, whether you accept this or not, whether it makes sense to you or not, does not matter. You have a choice to stay and be member within these parameters or leave and find a or snuff or site that appeals to you more.

Thank you, but I'm still curious why there are so many limits in the first place. I certainly don't deny that the owners of the website may make whatever rules they wish, I'm curious why they did it, though. Except for true stories, all stories are an exploration of fantasy, of the things you wouldn't do in real life, hence writing about them. What's the purpose of these rules?


The purpose of the rules is not to pander to those who would victimize children and others. Lush insists that all sexual activity portrayed be consensual and between people who are of age. There are other websites that cater to the demographic you describe, but their viewers are often subject to criminal charges relating to things like child pornorgraphy. Please feel free to look for that material elsewhere.

And, yes, as Dude said, the law matters.

i have two thoughts. Disgusted at the photographer and sad for kate.

But i can't help thinking she shouldn't have taken her top off in the first place. While she should have every right to do so when in private grounds, as one of the most famous people on the planet, she unfortunately loses this right to privacy and i feel she was a bit naiive to take her top off when outside.


I agree. She was naive to think that this could not happen, especially with the history of the paparazzi with Diana. She would have to concede that relinquishing the privacy of an unknown citizen was part of the deal in marrying into the royal family. A hard way to learn this lesson. Perhaps she was not thinking about it at the time, being in France, where women going topless to sunbathe is common.

Favourite wine and why is it your fave?
I love coffee - regular drip. espresso, cappucino, latte, and anything else. I love the taste. I love the smell. I love the warmth. I often buy the beans and grind them fresh. Never, never, never instant.

I would like to think that I don't feel or need the caffeine, but have experienced the afternoon headache when I have for one reason or another missed my coffee during the morning. Love it.
If I must choose one, it is "Out For Dinner", the first of the Robert and Juliana series and inspired by a restaurant where I have frequently been out for dinner.

These stories written with Alphamagus about Robert and Juliana each stand alone, and can be enjoyed in any order, but this was the start for them and for our partnership as writers. The stories are sexy and erotic, but also describe a real, loving relationship - not robotic sex. Food and wine seem always to be involved, perhaps because they are part of sensuality. There is also an element of playfulness and humour in each story. It would be our privilege to have more of you read them.

Would you rather know the worst (something that feels like it rips your heart out), or just live in a constant state of not knowing?


They say ignorance is bliss, but I do not think so. If there is something you are fretting about, you should know one way or the other and deal with it. It may not be as bad as you imagined, and, in any event, you will deal with it. Much better than living and wondering and obsessing into deeper spirals of stress. Not knowing is not really a fool's paradise if you are worrying.
You are asking this question on Lush?

The answer must be "yes" - and for the reverse, a woman making a man come - or this place would have far fewer members. I realize that many read and do not cyber, but the demographic still must be pretty high.

As to your situation, again the answer is "yes" if he is skilful and attentive.
