Not porn..... It's sexy and sensual and exciting. I feel it's more erotic than pornographic. This is a fantasy place where I can read and learn about others and their interests.

it is certainly not a hardcore site but could easily be classified as a soft porn site. There are plenty of breasts and penises to look at here but the site is primarily a site for erotic stories, many of which are excellent. There are some excellent writers here including TraceyAmes, Milik_Redman and Sandy2Moon. Sprite is also a good writer too. If you look for good writers, you will always get a good story to read.
I consider Lush as a sensual site for discriminating readers.
Call me old fashioned, naive, or whatever (as long as you don't call me Shirley LOL) but I see porn as visual. To me this is erotica, but I have been known to be wrong. I guess I see Lush as porn for the brain that just happens to stimulate the body, at least we authors hope it stimulates a response.
...I thought that maybe a new life, a different life, wouldn’t be so bad. But where the hell did I put the receipt, and could you return something that was over twenty years old? Where do you go to get a new life when your old one has you so puzzled you don’t know how to fix it? Wish I knew.

The advertisements and wall posts do get a little raunchy, but the writing is what distinguishes this site from all others. When you realize that writing and reading erotica is the main function and feature of Lush, you have to conclude that it is not a porn site, at least not in the traditional sense of the word.
Seems to me that Porn can be of either the visual which you guys love or of the written which we girls are more attracted to.
Both are a forms of Erotica and this site has plenty of that.
If we are just a site for the sharing of the Erotic or a real and true Porn site. Does it matter?
Some of our images and writings sure get me steaming and is that not the purpose of Porn?
I think it is a unique hybrid of naughtiness, sweetness, talent and more naughtiness.
Definitely, definitely, definitely NOT! And that has nothing to do with 'current difficulties'.
One always needs to make the distinction (in one's head and in one's conversation) between 'porn' - salacious and tastleless commercialisation of sexual matter - and 'erotica' - graphic artistic interpretation, in pictures or words - of sexual activity between consenting individuals.
Everything - everything - that I've found on Lush leads me to believe that this site falls into the latter catergory. I rest my case.
Well, I can say I write erotic stories.
Whether or not that's porn is in the eye of the reader.
Erotic would probably describe it better, I guess?
No, it's like a very very very naughty facebook.
Erotica, certainly. Porn, no.
i agree with Julie, its erotica but no way is it porn xx
Erotica site, mainly. But also social networking for the types that like it sexy.
Many would call that porn. Of the mind, perhaps. But still porn.
So, my answer is yes.
You certainly wouldn't be going to Lush for anything else.
Certainly. Many may draw a line between erotica and porn, but it's a very thin line and almost always a very blurry one. Obviously the advertisements, imagery, most of the stories and commentary on Lush are pornographic. Even with "erotica," the draw is the carnality, not the use of metaphor, plot, character development or other elements that are characteristic or definitive of literature or fiction.
it's a site that defies the smoothness of that category...for it gives you that space to define accoring to one's needs and what one does here ..
Ofcourse not, its one of the best place to enjoy & meet new people from around the world with common interest and desire.SJc5KWTaR7pwq6A3
Adult Alternative is how I would describe it
No, I don't think you can call Lush a porn site.
There might be pornographic content within it, but it's primary function is an erotic story site.
No, maybe an adult pleasure site.
