Really good erotica, exciting erotica has to resonate with your personal fantasies. That's what makes this web site so much fun. A wide variety of fantasies are expressed here and everyone seems to be tolerant of everyone else's kinks. Yes, I love erotica, but it either has to be very romantic or an embodiment of my personal desires.
Years ago when trying to legally define pornography, a lawyer said something like, "I know it when I see it." I would say the same thing about erotica. When I see it, I recognize it and I love it.
Yes, I do differentiate between erotica and pornography. Erotica is a category of art and literature. Pornography is a pejorative used by uptight prudes who are obsessed with denying their natural sexual desires.
Do I enjoy erotica? Of course I do.
Why? Why wouldn't I?

This is an erotic story site. We are all going to tend to gravitate to writers whose sexual inclinations resonate with us. I'm a niche writer. Some people like my stories. Others roll their eyes and say, "What the fuck! Why would anyone write that shit?"
Still there are some writers who able to transcend the genres. I think that Ravenstar's story, "For This Night" is the best story I've read on Lush. I'm also impressed with MamaScribe's story, "The Bun Also Rises." While both stories are erotic, they focus on the desires, doubts and anxieties their characters endure during the course of their story.
Good erotica is so much more than "Julie squealed with delight as Big Bill shoved his mammoth member into her quivering honey pot." It's also more than, "Julie's secret place gushed with glistening, slippery desire as Ben unsheathed his angry serpent." Human emotion and character make a story erotic, not adjectives and adverbs.

When I was a kid I had a squirt gun that looked a lot like Roy Roger's six gun. I loved it. My uncle Eddie gave it to me. My mother didn't like it so much. She wouldn't let me shoot it in the house.

Oh my gosh!! To quote my favorite fictional news anchor, 'that escalated quickly'. **Note to self: do not join other erotic story sites, for fear of death threats
I'm sorry you had such a negative thing said to you!
On a note more towards this thread...
I disagree, I think my comment is very germane to this thread. If I understand it correctly, the objective of this discussion is how to better control the trolls at this site. My point was that this site does an admirable job of controlling trolls and I gave an example of what happens at a site that doesn't work to control them. There will always be some people who choose to be inappropriate. This site tries hard to weed them out as quickly as possible. That's why I post my stories here. There are other writers who are here for the same reason.

I don't understand this issue. I find Lush to be a very friendly environment. I've had a few people who didn't like my stories. Hell sometimes I don't like them either. If you really want crazy try Literotica. Two days ago I got an email that said, "I hope you and your wife die and your children grow up as orphans. Now that's negative feedback.

Being an older man I prefer mature women. Julia Ann, Ava Addams, Diamond Foxx and Rayveness are my favorites.

At this site I would hope that people would celebrate the wonderful variety of physical responses to sexual ecstasy.

I think its high time guys quit wearing those big, baggy board shorts and swim trunks, and started wearing the same skimpy bikini bottoms we wear! Fair is fair!
Bethany, believe me. You wouldn't want to see my uncle Eddy in a Speedo. Hell, you wouldn't even know he was wearing it. Actually, he's lately become a problem. He's been running around the neighborhood naked. My aunt Edna has to chase him into the house with a broom before the neighbors call the police.

Seven, I try to get it every night, midnight to seven am. If I stay up until one I'm tired the next day.
Of course I am retired. That does make life much easier. Retirement is wonderful. It's too bad you have to wait until you're old to enjoy it.

Unless I'm missing something most of us are amateur writers. We write for fun and personal satisfaction. Some of the writers here are skilled and experienced. Others are fledgling writers nervously daring to submit a story for the first time.
Why do we even have a scoring system? Who does it help? Is writing a competitive endeavor? It shouldn't be. I write stories to create interesting characters and put form to my personal fantasies and desires.
I can't imagine a situation in which I would give a writer a score that was less than five. Why would I? Should I discourage a fledgling writer? Should I criticize an experienced writer because I don't find his or her personal fantasy appealing?
I suppose you could make a case for giving a story a low score for sloppiness, but if you're a writer you know how easy it is to gloss over an error while you're proof reading. Misuse of we're and were or Their, there and they're can slip by so easily. Professional writers have the benefit of editors. We don't.
As far as I'm concerned the scoring system is bereft of merit. If I can't give a story a five I won't score it at all. If you encounter a story that doesn't appeal to you or is poorly written you have a ready response. Stop reading it and find a story you prefer. This site is filled with a myriad of fun stories.
As to giving a story a low score as retribution for a perceived slight, that doesn't even merit a response.

When I first started writing I wasn't careful and I lost some work that I would now very much like to have. Now I keep multiple copies of everything I write.

I've always tried to live by the rule that there's no cess like excess. Of course there are those who would suggest that might be an excessive attitude. Could that be excessive criticism? This is mind boggling. I could use a cup of coffee.

I'm 66. I grew up during the era of the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Animals and Jefferson Airplane. They are all still wonderful. Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Roberta Flack and the Spinners were a different genre, but equally wonderful. People my age will argue that was a golden age of music. While I agree with that assertion, I would suggest that we are currently in an equally outstanding age of music. Of Monsters and Men, Florence and the Machine and One Republic are creating some excellent music. I'm sure there are others, but I'm old so I'm just not attuned enough anymore to be familiar with all of them.
Right now I'm listening to Of Monsters and Men, "Little Talks" and I'm enjoying it very much.
