Unrealistic Body Types

I get that erotica should be an escape and a way to help you indulge in a fantasy but I really wish more people would write women with realistic bodies (tall, a belly, saggy boobs, stretch marks, frizzy hair,blemishes, basically women of diverse body types). It really pulls me out of the story when I read about a woman who is 5'4, 110 pounds, with size F tits. Or when im reading the incest/taboo stories and women who have given birth look twenty years younger than their actual age and have perfect bodies.

I have come across a few great stories where the woman doesn't look like a Victoria secret model. But mostly if the woman is chubby or fat the protagonist is described as loving her despite fatness. Or the woman is highly fetishsized. No human should be considered a fetish.

How about more stories about characters over 50 who aren't written as dirty perverts? Seriously.

Goes back to fetishsizing people. Old,dirty bastard can be a fetish.

I'm writing one at the moment where the male protagonist is over fifty. I'll be exposing my psyche because this character is mostly me in fantasy confessional mode. Wish me luck!

I also have a vague notion to write my current favourite character (Amelia, Rope & Veil) as a fifty-five year old. This whole series has pushed my writing envelope and become a cycle of meditations on a number of things not usually closely connected with erotica. Or maybe I'm just a sentimental old fool who wants to give his heroine a nice rounded life.

I know what you mean, and agree. I don't mind when stories give you an idea of what a character's body looks like. It helps my imagination a bit and gives me an idea of what the author intended this person to look like. But too many stories start off as if the author is reading for the character's medical record. And yes, the stats are often way too unrealistic. So many of the women are tan, athletic, large breasted, blonde, etc. If it's a mom of two kids in her 40s odds are she doesn't have the body of a 20-year old. And that's not unattractive, at least in my opinion. That's feminine! And don't get me started on all the male characters with 10-inch penises!

Didn't you know? We all have retractable penises! We choose what we show women. /badjoke

I often skip the character description when reading. I have my "ideal" and that is what I see in my imagination. Stories that repeat the description will often not hold my attention long.

The last story I wrote, the only character description I included was that the main female protagonist has long hair. There was a specific visual I was going for there, and is the only reason it was included.
 
Dr Zephyr is doing a MC/impregnation thing. From the start one finds that he presents a variety of women as sexually attractive and while some are young coeds, some, yes, have some sag to their breasts, a bit of a belly, are gaunt, or chubby and so on. But ya know, I am loving the series. As for my stories and unrealistic body types, well, often there is a rationale for that backbreaking rack of lamb. When there isn't, I may just give her an A or a B cup, maybe.;)
 
My characters are generally under 30 and even those over 30 are fit. I don't find that to be particularly unrealistic, but then that may relate to the community I live in. I also don't dwell on physical descriptions. The female character in my current story is described with:

"Dana Harlow was long and tan—a perfect, sinewy desert rat. She wore nothing but a bikini top, canvas shorts and hiking shoes; her hair was sun-bleached and just long enough to tie back into a short pony tail."

You find out a few paragraphs later that she (and the narrator) are post-doctoral Fellows in paleontology.

I create bigger/older gals because I prefer them to calendar cuties. But you see every combination and permutation of female at the mall. Write what you like. AND some of us are embarrassed about our dream girls.

The description was my next complaint. Many authors don't know how to transition into giving a description of the person's features. It comes off as clunky. I have even seen authors stop the story to give a description. In my last story I actually left out the description of my male protagonist for two reasons.1) It helps pull readers in if they can project themselves on the the character 2) I have been obsessed with Ezra Miller and as a result all of my male protagonist look like him. I kept the description of my female protagonist because the story was about a wife who husband sexually rejects her because she has gained weight and as a result she starts sleeping with her stepson who is more appreciative of her body.BTW it's tilted 'Another Man's Treasure' if anyone is interested in reading it.

Im not saying exercising and being fit is unrealistic but everyone has at least one body flaw or blemish.

Of course, but there's hardly a need to describe the flaws unless they somehow help define the character or become part of the story, which they well may.
 
Why stop at women?

What, every guy out there has a big dick and a six pack and a tan and can bench press 350. All the 'dad's' have bodies of a twenty year old:rolleyes:

So let's write about balding, love handles, beer guts, ear hair, man boobs and all the other things most men who read here really have.

That's right, porn is fantasy and we're not in the 70's/80's anymore. The day of fat hairy gross pigs like Ron Jeremy in porn are over. Now the guys look as good as the women and that's why the 'real men' hate women watching porn...the double standard of 'why don't you look like that' turned around on them.

Even all women being hot strokes the male ego, no 'real man' would have sex with a woman who wasn't hot as hell.

That's what they want to think as they lift up their beer gut to find their dick to play with it anyway.

True every guy looks like a model or is in top physical shape. None of them are lanky or have glasses. Recently I have decided to start leaving out physical description for my upcoming stories.

I read a comment somewhere on the boards, similar to what you said, Jay. Describing the character in detail takes from the reader's imagination. Now, after reading that, I only include them if one character is particularly attracted to some feature of another character. For example, she gazed into his baby blue eyes and could not say "no" as his fingers adeptly slipped under the string bikini top and found her nipple, a hard little pebble sitting on a tanned mound of soft flesh. No need to go into the 36D and all that. Let the reader imagine it however he or she wants. And who cares how tall he is or how much she weighs or...? My theory is: write the story and it will tell you what is needed, if you pay attention. After all the story is your gift to the reader. Our goal as writers should be to maximize his or her enjoyment of it.

Your female readers might care how tall he is; things like height, shoulder width, the size (and roughness) of his hands and the size of his muscles seem to be to women what the size of a woman's breasts, the shape of her butt and the curve of her hips are to men. They don't define what is sexually attractive, but they certainly do augment it.

It's your choice what you choose to describe when you write your story. Usually you need to describe any feature that might be important to their characterization and not describe features that aren't. The description doesn't need to be done all in one block of narrative. I prefer to describe people through their actions and to distribute that through the beginning of the story.

Some writers will pull out of a story (usually near the beginning) and give a detailed physical description of a character. That annoys authors. I'm not sure how many readers are annoyed by it.

I'm a little confounded right now about how to describe the first-person narrator, and keep that in context.
 
For me it's a turn-off to read a list of statics about a character even if theu're realistic and usually they are not. In my first story, yet to be posted, I did mention height, weight etc. of one character.
now I just use terms like: medium height with an athletic build etc. unless a more precise description is actually necessarily to make a point. It doesn't matter to me if your blonde has 36 c or 38 d breast...full and firm is all I need to get the picture. If your story actually needs you tell me she has a set of 42 dd then i can except it.
