Many thanks, both, for the advice. A little preparation is necessary I guess, but most times things just sort of progressed with a momentum of their own ! Fortunately I was wearing a condom on all but one of those times. Using a douche is a pretty good suggestion.

But nevertheless, all in all, it was pretty off-putting for me. I guess some of the stories you read here ( true and fantasy) use a certain amount of poetic licence.

I couldn’t agree more with what you say about A to M, although it seems to appear in plenty of stories .

You both seem to manage it in ways that make it a pleasurable experience for you. Bravo, keep on enjoying !

Thanks. Robert.

I have only ever had anal 6 or so times. That is, me doing it to a woman 5 times and to a cross-dresser one time. The reason for doing it so few times is that I didn’t like it that much, as the aftermath was always pretty messy. Unhygienic you could say.

However most of the accounts I have read here, whether fact or fiction, anal always seems to be carried out in a squeaky clean manner. Was I just unlucky that it turned out that way each time, or was there something we could have done to prevent that unwanted outcome ?

Of course an enema beforehand would be one way, but that would rely on it being planned, whereas on all but one occasion it was spontaneous.

I have also often read about the recipient sucking hers/ his lovers cock straight afterwards. In my few experiences that would have been a pretty revolting thing to do.

I am interested to hear what anal enthusiasts have to say on the subject.

What sort of country do you live in that you have to have armed security guards to protect children at schools? What a fucked up country !

I have visited USA 3 times, including east and west coasts. I didn't like the country very much at all, and won't be going there again. I certainly wouldn't want to live there. So put me down as a 'Neither'.

Thanks John. Helpful as always. Happy New Year.

From your profile page click on the promotion for the platinum subscription and you will see the upgrade page which shows you the highlights for gold and platinum. In respect of the latter however please see this thread in addition:

Thanks John I didn’t spot the link down the side. What is the significance of somebody not renewing subscription ? Does it mean that they are unable to post new stories ? Or make comments on stories and forums and so on ? Or send PM’s ? Do their existing stories remain displayed on the site ?

I have been looking to see what the cost of the different subscription levels are and also what exactly you get for each of them. But don't seem to be able to find that info anywhere. Can anyone help ?

Thanks

Ah, it was the View Following part that I hadn't twigged. Thanks guys.

Robert

How can I view a list of members that I am following ? It used to be that I could view it from my Profile – it showed the avatars and names of all the people I was following, together with a link to their profile . But not any more . Any help anyone ?

Whoops. OK thank you for pointing that out.

This happening to me again. I am trying to comment on some photos a friend has sent but am told I don't have permission to do this, and need to upgrade to Gold. I am currently Silver and have always been able to post comments, last time only yesterday. Also I wanted to start a new topic to report this but it wouldn't let me do that either. So I hope you will pick up on this and be able to apply a solution.

Thanks

Robert

Knowing this I guess the only way is to copy them to your PC and archive them there.

It would be helpful if it was made clearer what happens to messages. I lost a whole load because I didn't know they would be deleted after 2 (or 3?) months.. I also lost a lot of saved messages when we went over to the new version of the message facility.

Thanks John, that works for me . Not too obvious though !

Do messages get deleted after a certain time ? How do you save messages ? I have looked at FAQs which say you have to star them, but this all seems to refer to the previous version of messages. I am anxious not to loose some of mine.

OK, problem with sending PM's is resolved.

I seem to be having a problem actually sending messages as well. I go to the profile of the person I want to write to and open Message. I write my message in the template that is displayed, but this causes the Send button to disappear off the bottom of the screen. I move down the screen using the slider or the Down arrow, but this causes the message to disappear altogether. There is no indication that the message has been sent, and I think it has just been deleted. Any ideas ?

OK, I get it now. Thanks folks.

Can anyone tell me how I get to see my sent messages ? I can't see anywhere in the messages facility where I can do this.

Thanks

Robert

Why am I being asked to upgrade to Gold in order to comment on a story ? I thought silver membership allowed that . It always has done in the past anyway. Yet another problem for me since the upgrade.

Hi John - I have checked back through all my messages but all have been read. The number1 still periodically appears.

I have also checked and have seen that some of the authors I follow have had new stories published recently.

The message you sent me 4 hours ago appears in my inbox, but not the one you sent me 7 hours ago, although it was there before. I have tried reply but it still doesn't work but will try again later.

Robert

Hello again John. Yes this message arrived but it doesn't allow me to make a reply from my inbox. The words 'Write a reply' are displayed but are not active so I have to write this to you from the forum post. I have noticed that sometimes the number one ( 1 ) appears alongside the email symbol on the navigation bar but if I go to inbox there is nothing there. I know that various authors who I follow have made new submissions but no message advising me of this appears in the inbox. Sometimes the envelope symbol isn't displayed at all and I have to login in again even though I can access other parts of the site. I hope this extra info helps. Thanks for your attention to this matter- Robert

I have had no messages arriving in my inbox since september 5th. Even though I am quite certain messages have been sent. For 3 or 4 weeks I was unable to access Lushstories website. That problem has been resolved and I now have had access for the last week, but now have this problem with emails.

Many thanks Jen . I have set you a PM.

If you PM me the name, I can tell you if they deleted their own account, but that's it I'm afraid.

A fairly unhelpful answer.

Users leave unexpectedly.

Yes, that's why I said 'I realise that she may have her own reasons for leaving so suddenly'.

No to getting email address. If user didn't give you outside contact, then why would you think the Mods would give that info. to you?

I was just asking on the off chance that they could. But I did say 'Or is that unethical?'

Plus, you didn't indicate users handle.

No I didn't. But I said I would send it privately if they could help ( protect privacy of the person I am trying to get in touch with).

Enjoy the users why they exist on the site.

I do but set up the post to see if there was any helpful explanation .

And, Mods are very chill, they just delete users account w/out needing too.

I didn't think they would delete an account for no reason. I was curious to know what reasons might result in that action
Which is why I titled the post 'What reasons are there for people getting their membership revoked ?'
