She felt the soft slip of Jen’s lips sliding over her own, their breath mixing harshly. Electric nerves set to fire at slightest touch
She Keeps Me Warm by Mary Lambert. This was the first love song I ever heard that I could relate to in every verse. I balled like a freakin' baby when I got to watch her perform and giggled like a love struck teen the first time I saw the video. I love the positive overtones. It is so difficult to find gay love songs that don't have a strong tone of sadness or an undertone of having to keep secret. This has made my month, I listen to it and sing it regularly. Only recently have I felt brave enough not to become quiet when I sing "Do you like kissing girls?". There is still a part of me that feels the need to look over my shoulder first. This is definitely my "feel good" song.

Maybe I've misread some etiquette somewhere. I've only successfully published a single story. I've been a lurker for the most part, reading but not really interacting otherwise. Without any bio or interaction I found that I get a lot of friend requests and messages based on my name. To those requests I don't respond. It equates in my mind as a "friend collector" on Facebook. That's not how I work. If I discover that I particularly enjoy an author then I follow them but I've never messaged them. I always read for my own pleasure and if I don't like something then I just move on and chalk it up to not my taste. I figure everyone has their own preferences, that's part of why we are here right?

After having recently published for the first time I can relate to wishing for feedback. It is nice to know what went over well or stuck out and what was just background building. If someone friend requests in response to my writing I'd be much more likely to add them if they included a message containing critical feedback rather than small talk. It's not that I don't enjoy a good chat but I work two jobs and go to school full time so Lush writing is like my underground hobby. Compound that with a tendency to flirt and a monogamous relationship! I hope I don't come across as cold but I feel it's important to be straight forward about my intentions from the start. I'm excited about the possibilities open to me through writing here but I feel like there are two commingled subcultures at work.

On the one hand there are those who are here to write; Literary thinkers who enjoy helping each other grow in this way and have built a community around doing just that.
On the other hand there is a sexual acceptance that I think stems largely from the wide variety of topics. There is an open mindedness that isn't common place. Both aspects are critical to the success of this site but I am more comfortable relating to the first than the second.

It seems that relating to sexuality and sensuality is different when expressed through the lens of my own writing than it is when expressed through interpersonal interaction.

This made me happy. smile I just love the imagery of it. I can't help but giggle a little as I picture someone primly finger pecking each individual key with a look of smug authority on their face.
