It can be a pain, dealing with different personalities & desires in regard to a story. It should definitely be clarified for the mods as to what they'll accept or pass on. And some of the links aren't all that helpful with every literary problem. Gray areas in particular. And I certainly hope alcohol, as in drinks, isn't considered drug taking? It's socially acceptable as long as drunken debauchery doesn't ensue. Am I to assume such is the case in stories as well? It's what we do in given situations. Over & above common usage, so long as it's not gross in context. Like mom always told me, as an older teen on up, " It's only dirty if it's in your mind that it's dirty!" It's all in your personal outlook. I'll always wonder how far that went with her? I mean, what the heck, our parents were just as human as we! So, in light of that, some ground rules are needed so individual likes & dislikes don't confuse things & bog them down in nit-picky red tape. That's extra work for all concerned, which I'm sure all of us dislike.

lol I assure you there's no ulterior motive--that'd be ridiculous. And I think it'd be difficult to offend any story verifier, unless you write something excessively against Lush rules. Also, you're not the only person 60 or older who writes here. We don't subscribe to agism; verifiers treat everyone the same. Lush has standards for writing, offers forums and links to aid in learning, and incredible members and mods willing to help out total strangers even if it's difficult. We will continue to build our community of dirty, sexy writers and bring their well written stories to the front page of the site.
In the past week or two, we've been having glitches and have been working our asses off to help writers pass stories even through those issues. You can always PM the verifier who modded your story if you think there's a problem. Not doing so, yet publicly swinging at the mod team, accomplishes nothing.
Well, you never know, as in The Shadow radio show...what evil lurks in the hearts of men. That place you'd never guess was there, only to be surprised when it slips & makes itself known. God, I miss Archie Rothman's, " Time Machine" on WMMS at night 40 years ago.
Anyway...There are definitely glitches, as Liz & I discussed back & forth. Some corrections seemed to be overdubbed by remnants of deleted versions. In hindsight, I should've left them intact. I hadn't stopped to think that comparisons might need to be made. I'll leave the last one. Maybe I should have one of you look at my latest re-write? Maybe it'd give me a fresh perspective. Although I do have my own preferred style of writing I won't enjoy compromising to the point it isn't me anymore. That I will not do. I've been back & forth in re-writes & email discussions with Liz for as many times. Each time, some new complaint surfaced that wasn't mentioned before? Thus my thoughts on the matter any average person might think? That said, a lil " outside" help might be nice. But at least after Christmas day, unless told otherwise?
*PS- I really gotta stop writing late at night, or in the wee hours. I finally caught the improper tense changes, which switched things from present to past & such. I can't believe I missed that? Besides swapping " and" for "&", and " okay" for "OK", words for numbers. Changing some of the wording as well. Definitely an improvement. But I'll definitely have to proofread after uploading. To many odd glitches?

There's a difference between trying to help a writer & merely busting balls with excessive nit-picking. My story Reaching Out has been " fixed" 5 or 6 times, & each time a particular mod finds a whole new set of faults not mentioned previously. This very easily leads me to believe there's some ulterior motives involved? To close to Christmas? My story offends you personally? Or that it's coming from an old man that went to college in another era that doesn't jibe with today's methods of writing?
Also, I think your uploader has glitches, or doesn't fully delete previous versions of the same submission or something? I fix all missing punctuation, always have the spell checker on, Separate quoted speech between characters like she said...
All the things she complained about on my part I've seen in published stories here & worse. So don't bust mine if someone else's story got printed with what your busting my hump over. I could point out a lot of them.
For now, unless I can email the word processor version for another mod to look at, I just give up. I've published full length novels, books on home brewing with history & all, even the historical realities of American true tall tale's real-world people behind them.
These are just sex stories, not Nathanial Hawthorn, HG Wells, etc. I'd really like to get my stories read, but they never will be if they're constantly nit-picked to death over some aspects of the list of perceived problems that are literary devices up to the writer to use & not 100% correct if used only one way. This person really needs to stop filtering my work through her style, as I'm sure many of you do from time to time.
I try to write like real-world people actual speak & behave...not this stylized malarkey I all too often see.
Look y'all, I know you have a lot of submissions to go through- she reminds me of that & being short-handed as well- , But damn, I've seen worse than mine published on here, but I ghet nit-picked to the point I just give up. Damn. I really wanted something I've written to be seen by more than just a few scattered readers around the world...

I love intimacy with my hot lil wife. Even though she's past menopause, I still try...sometimes brokenheartedly. It can get that way as you age together...that other half of your heart you really care for deeply. That said, I loved it when I " came out" to her, & she got off on it. She used a 8" long, 2" wide natural dildo on me. She thought it was cute the way I moaned & fucked it back. So much so, she got the 12" double-headed one & we both moaned & came together. It felt so natural to suck another man's dick too. Waiting for real anal, but I see nothing saying I'm gay. Still love girls/wife as much as ever...maybe more. To us, it was like something like to share. It's all about togetherness folks. Doing it together is far more rewarding if you can. What say you?

It just seems natural to suck dick. like it belongs there. Getting bigger & harder right before it starts throbbing. when they groan & explode in your mouth. Trying to suck & swallow it all. Creamy, tasty after the first couple seconds. That said, I very much prefer to share equally. Everyone gets what they want the best we can give it to them. Pass on greedy people who won't. I love getting sucked off, moaning bucking & groaning as he/she forces me to cum in their warm mouth. Very erotic & one of the best things you can do for another!
Active Ink Slinger
With men, in my/there mouth. Feeling it throbbing right before they explode is a thrill. Erotic thing to do for a buddy, fwb. Maybe in my/his ass when it happens. dildos are good, but the real thing would be 10x's better. With my lil wife, cute lil hottie, in her pussy, mpouth in her cute ass, even had her enjoying sucking me off all over her 38D's. Then she sucks on clean, I the other. Mmmm..

It all started for me hitting puberty at 10. Being bigger than the average boy my age didn't help any. Until I first laid eyes on joe in Parochial school. The first guy I'd ever consider kissing. Had a three-way with a mutual guy friend then & I came all over his thigh & cock area. He loved it. So I guess I'm saying things can happen to make it a positive experience. The first time I sucked a buddy's cock, it felt completely natural to do so. I don't know why? The first time my wife gave me that thick 8 incher up my ass, the stroking is what made it feel so darn great! So like the other's said, suck a cock, maybe even grab some lube & condoms & try anal after that. done right, it feels great!

Well, I'm 60, Saw the dawn of the space age & the muscle car, saw both Kennedys get shot. I've lived, laughed & loved...& I'm hungry for more! I've seen so much, experienced even more, learning about people first hand after traveling all over the country a few times. And being a husband & father of 6, Elder1 seemed apropos. This song sorta says it all; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coCjlhyFug8 The old fortune teller, lies dead on the floor...nobody needs fortunes told anymore...

Well, actually...They can be measured with instruments that sense changes in the local magnetic field. They also suck the energy out of the surrounding air, creating what is known as, " psychic cold". Thermal imaging works as well. My wife & I are what the psychic world refers to as, " sensitives". This " power", if you will, began for me at age 5. That was 55 years ago now. It is my considered opinion that each dimension vibrates at a different frequency. Spirits seem to dwell in the 4th dimension, since we see all sides at once. Again, a higher frequency oscillation causing this effect when our two dimensions come close enough together to cause some sort of inter-dimensional overlap. I think it is also possible for the " spirits" to control this overlap in some fashion. This is when we see them.
