One "best" experience won't do, but here are the ones that truly stand out:
My friends... yes, giving lie to my own words, they are the best. Some very great, fun, talented guys, and a number of equally fun and talented - but far sexier - ladies that always bring a smile to my face and joy to my heart. Truly friends, not just electrons on the web.
My wife joining and having some fun with it, and making a few friends of her own. Never thought I'd be fine with guys posting erotic shots and little notes for my wife, but we both enjoy it!
Writing and telling stories, and the incredible readers and their generosity of spirit and of their time. Thank you.
Being asked to become a moderator. It blew me away, never expected it, and now I've had a chance to get to know some of the other incredibly talented and creative people who work so hard to make this site what it is. It's humbling.
And the many talented authors I've been privileged to work on stories for and with; I can't recall a negative experience, and most are very kind and appreciative of the help we try to offer.
It's been a positive experience all around, and the site brings me a great deal of pleasure in so many ways.
Thanks, Nicola and crew. Good job!

Yeah... I Guess... I don't GET or LIKE Nicola personally... But without her we are nothing here...

I'm very lucky to have great friends in real life, but I am truly blown away by some of the friends I've made on Lush, and how close we've become. I appreciate their respect, support, honesty, and how they knock sense into me when the naughty Jersey Girl comes out. They love and accept me despite my imperfections, and I thank them. Scars & No Regrets
Without doubt - meeting Tracey here and where that has led me.
Meeting people that will become lifelong friends and seeing new places with many of them, dabbling in writing, becoming proficient in navigating time zones, and exploring this beautiful thing we have called SEX. A million thanks to Nicola and Gav for pulling the pin out on their ideas and making it reality. They built it, and we came (no pun intended...ok, maybe a little).
Look at my friends list and especially my green eyed temptress!
Meeting and falling in love with Billy gave me such a new outlook on life, love and myself. He taught me to let my guard down and let myself be loved, he also taught me that I can give great love. For 16 months I lived a fairytale. When the story ended I realized he is my dearest friend in the world.
Learning to write. This is the only place I have ever written. My friends and the moderators guide me and give me great support.
My friend list may be long but each has a special place and meaning in my life.
Thanks to Nicola for making this all possible.
When I first joined Lush in 2008, I found the site very intimidating. I mostly creeped around, and read the forums/stories. I didn't join again until 2013, and after a few weeks here, I popped into the chat rooms. That is where I had my "best lush experience" in the form of an amazing man. In 4 days it's our two year anniversary, and i've never been happier!
Lush made my Happily Ever After come true.
I've been a Lushie for well over 4 years now and it is such a unique space. Its not just about sexual openness, but about being creative and expressive with that all that sexual energy. I really cannot over-emphasise what a positive and liberating difference that has made to my life.
Which makes everything possible: writing, friendships, connections and all the good stuff that comes *coughs* with that. Thank you Nicola and Gav for having the vision to give us all the best experience we can have on here.
On the 5th September 2014 he said "I fucking love you," and I've never doubted myself ever since.
