Mermaid sex?

[SusieSleuth]

I want to write a story about mermaids, and it’s easy to sort out when the mermaids are giving manual or oral pleasure to a human, but what about the mermaids enjoying something? They can make out and can receive breastplay, but I can’t really rationalize them having genitalia that’s sexy and fun to write/read about.

Thoughts?

1. You can have mermaids without tails. They could shapeshift, or have only membranes on hands and feet. Maybe they shapeshift in legged once only if they're incredibly aroused.

2. They can have erogenous zones different than humans. Maybe some of the scales on their tails, or maybe their gills. Or they have hypersensivite breasts/nipples, or G point in mouth.

Mermaids poop, don't they? So they must have a butthole that can get fucked. Fish do, so the mer-folk probably do as well.

That said, I have a story on this site about a sailor who was in love with a mermaid, but wanted desperately to get her a pussy that he could fuck. It turned into a case of "be careful what you wish for."

Perhaps something resembling a reptilian cloaca?

First of all, some women get pleasure from simply sucking a dick.

But it seems to me that your main problem is the contradiction in your head. Do you want to write a story about a fantastical sexual creature that can't exist? Or do you want a story about the most realistic version of a mermaid?
In the first way, there are many options for how to describe her lower part so that it is sexy.

I would just use dolphin anatomy.

In Nancy Farmer's "Sea of Trolls" series a character describes encountering a mermaid who can remove her fish skin like taking off a cloak. She brings him a fish every day as a love offering. Another character told him that if a mermaid can get a man to marry her she will stay young and beautiful forever. But if she can't, she will turn into a sea hag.

Can't help thinking fish scales are smooth in one direction, and very rough in the other. God knows how fish reproduce (well I imagine biologists do too)

I’ve never understood why mermaids had scales. They would be mammals so the tail portion would be like a dolphin rather than a fish.

The female lays eggs and the male sprays the eggs with his sperm. No fun.

They are not mammals is the first issue we have to deal with here. They are fantasy creatures. Clearly mermaids can breath both air and water. There are a handful of fish who can breathe air at least for a while but most cannot.

There are no known mammals that can breathe underwater. Hold their breath for insane periods of time? Yes. I don't know what the record is but I know sperm whales can go almost a mile down hunting squid but they do have to come back up.

Bottom line the myths that mermaids come from include ladies with snakes for hair, things with the body of a lion but the head of an eagle and humans with the head of a bull who eat virgins dropped into a maze.

To answer the OP the easiest answer is just move the fish parts down to where her thighs would be so directly beneath the buttocks and your problem is solved.

A good question! My Cordelia stories featured sex between mermaids and human men. I pondered the issue and dodged slightly to avoid an anatomy lecture, instead postulating what amounted to human female genitalia normally hidden behind retractable ‘genital scales’. I think it worked out pretty well without having to go into great detail (readers’ imaginations can be very powerful). I wrote in a couple of ‘special’ features of course.

PM me for further discussion if you wish.

Does that mean they're amphibians?

Much like all those pornos where a woman will suck or fuck a guy for half an hour, then he will jerk off onto her tits. What the fuck? Let her finish the job already!!

IMHO, mermaids have breasts, ergo they meet one of the key requirements for mammalian status - mammaries are mammalian. If it matters, some mammals definitely do have scales, eg. the pangolin.

In any case, as has been pointed out, we’re dealing with a fictional creature. Trying to force mermaids into real-life classifications is a waste of time. Write them as you please, I think.

Fish have a cloaca as well.

I would just use dolphin anatomy.

In fact, it turns out that dolphin anatomy is more sophisticated than I might have thought. According to Dana Orbach, a postdoctoral fellow at Dalhousie University and research associate at Mount Holyoke College "marine mammal vaginas are far more complex than anyone has given them credit for — lots of labyrinthine pockets, folds, and twist."

If the female doesn’t want to mate with a male, she may be able to subtly shift her body slightly to the left or the right so the penis is not at an optimum angle, which means that it will get caught in one of these vaginal folds earlier on, so then when the sperm is ejaculated it would have a longer distance to travel to fertilize the egg. So by subtle body positioning, the female might be able to control which males are more or less likely to fertilize.

So I can imagine that mermaids not only manage to get their rocks off, but may be rather cavalier about doing it.
