Hello all,
I have just arrived at this site a few days ago and I'm already finding myself lost in the depths that one can find themselves in on Lush. Reading fantastic stories, profiles, trading a couple of emails with the nicest people, and enjoying sexy images/videos. I could do this full-time if I wanted to.

I have never been much of a writer but I am inspired by all of you to begin telling my personal story in the form of Lush stories. I hope that you find them both interesting and entertaining (once I get them written). But beyond entertaining, I hope to give you a little window into who I am and a deeper understanding of my personal experiences.
Aside from that, I am enthusiastic about making new friends whether online or in-person. In a matter of a week, I've already emailed and chatted with a few Lush members and it's been great fun. My sexual experiences have all been in-person and I probably wouldn't know what to do with cyber sex. But just because I'm new to something, doesn't mean I wouldn't enthusiastically try it if there is someone out there who thinks they can bring it out of me. I still have plenty of fantasies to live out and there seems to be a lot of like-minded people here to provide inspiration, ideas, and encouragement. Life is meant to be lived and at 48, I only have half of it left. I don't want to waste a moment of it because unfortunately, I didn't take full advantage of my younger years.

Interests
As with all people on this site, I have a deep interest in sex and all things sexy. Beyond that, I love to travel and have had the chance to visit many places but even more yet to go. I love good food and wine. Doesn't have to be fine dining. While I truly enjoy and appreciate haute cuisine, I am equally a connoisseur of chicken wings and a cold beer. I enjoy a fast and thrilling rollercoaster, sports (both playing and watching... although I've been doing more of the latter recently), watching movies, and spending time with family and friends.

Favorite Books
I have to confess that I don't read a lot of books. I used to read non-fiction and biographies... mostly based on historical events and political figures. However, I read so much for work, I just didn't feel like doing more reading for my personal time. Now, I have found the pleasure of combining my love of sex and erotica with reading short stories that can be enjoyed in quick bits of time that I can find throughout the day. So Lush has greatly changed my interest in reading.

Favorite Movies
The Godfather I & II, The End of the Affair, What Dreams May Come, The Great Race, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Rocky, Meet Joe Black, The Four Seasons, Groundhog Day, Ben-Hur, Schindler's List, Same Time Next Year, Patton, The Big Chill, Braveheart, The Omen, My Life, Platoon, Caddyshack.

Favorite TV Shows
Past: Hill Street Blues, Star Trek, ER, Seinfeld, MASH, Friends, The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Deadwood, Dexter.
Current: Game of Thrones, Ray Donovan, Masters of Sex, Top Chef, Top Gear.

Favorite Music
I am a lover of music. There is something in every genre that I like. My iTunes is more ADD than any other collection I've heard. I will have everything from The Red Hot Chili Peppers to Natalie Merchant, Eminem to Billy Joel, Barbara Streisand to Foo Fighters, Steve Miller Band to The Offspring, and Frank Sinatra to Pink. Throw in a lot of classical, jazz, movie soundtrack, classic rock, and Broadway musicals and you have "my" music. If I had to pick a favorite, I would say that I listen to alternative rock the most.
