Stroke stories

A stoke story is one intentionally written to encourage masturbation. My stroke stories are first mostly first present and addressed directly at the reader. They get straight down to it. We (me and the reader) both know why we are here and our respective roles.

After catching up on a bit of reading with my wife this morning, I have a new definition:

If I write it primarily for my wife, it's a stroker. If I write it primarily to post here, it's not.

How about "encourage arousal?" Sometimes masturbation is not convenient.
 
So I guess I have to ask the question. In the case of Literotica, a site meant for erotic stories, what is considered a “non-stroke” story?
 
I began a short that's for someone- a girl going to a gloryhole for the first because she needs money and the guys slip money through the hole at this place. Its meant to be a quick set up, and the action where she goes from humiliated and hesitant to enjoying herself, and goddamn if I haven't caught myself three times already trying to go into a back story and adding to it.

I think part of it is I always get caught up in "If I made this longer I could sell it, or it could go on lit at some point" Its like the muse refuses to just get down and dorty without having reasons and tension

Isn't this true of every story with a sex scene? Does anyone who writes a sex scene in a story NOT want readers to stroke to it? What is a NONstroker?

We're talking about sex scenes that are the entire story, not part of a larger whole. Or at least, that's how I understand it. Just scene, no sequel.

It’s the difference between watching a porn scene and taking JOIs.

That's a sensible definition, but it's not everybody's, as is evident from other perspectives in this thread.
 
I think I'd identify all my erotica as stroke stories, but it does depend on how we're defining that. They're stories, not scenes: I try to develop characters, build some tension and relationships, but ultimately I'm building that tension and those relationships largely because they enhance the payoff, at least for me. And the payoff is, well... you get it.
 
I have been advised to keep my first piece short and sweet. I guess “stroker” would be the preferred nomenclature, then?
 
Advised by whom?
A handful of lovely folks have given me a variety of lovely suggestions. But your tone makes me feel like I might be getting someone in trouble if I were to cough up a name. As intriguing as that is, such lip-flappery is not my style.

But . . .

If the issue is the advice itself, then great! Do you have better advice you’d like me to use instead? Because I still haven’t begun my first piece yet 🥸 so I remain open to suggestions.

I wasn't asking for names. The answer to my question is "individuals here at the forum."
 
I don't understand writers here who sneer at the simple stroker. On a site dedicated to sex stories, no less.
I don't sneer at them (I'll read them sometimes), but I don't write them. For one, it doesn't interest me enough to be worth the effort. For another, I don't think that is where my talent is. I think that if any of my sex scenes are hot enough to qualify, it's because the characters are good enough that the anticipation makes the scene hotter than it really is.
 
The correct thing to do is to write the story as you want it written and speak to someone else about giving it a beta read. Sometimes it needs pruning, sometimes it needs to have more character building.

Write the story, not a word limit.

That said if you want to start with a stroker, go for it, but my first piece on here is almost 15k words and it's still my highest rated story here.
The therapist in me cannot help it: may I ask you to elaborate on what you mean by “correct?” Please know I’m asking curiously, respectfully, and not at all to sound challenging. This sort of dialog excites me.
 
Sounds vaguely familiar.

I forgot to include that you would be stripped naked and tied to an "X" cross in the town's public square and left there with a sign, "No penetration. No orgasm. Until Midnight. Outside of that... everything is 'game'... nipples.... clit... lips- both sets". Still sound familiar?

I think what @Erozetta means is that the only rule is to write what you want to write. Don't let anyone convince you that you *have* to write a certain type of story, that you *have* to make it deep and meaningful or *have* to start by writing simple strokers, that you *have* to write a certain number of words, that you *have* to do this.

If you want to write a story, all you *have* to do is write the story you want to tell. Just write it and see what happens. Personally, I wouldn't even bother with a beta reader or an editor. Just get the words on the page, give it a critical once-over, make sure grammar and spelling are up to scratch, and submit.

Once you have one story up, you can gauge how it's received. See whether your readers like it, perhaps whether some other writers here like it. This will give you a point of reference, to see whether you need to improve anything, and what.

Just don't overthink any of it. We're all just here to have fun.

Correct as in there is no right way to do it, but to write the story as it needs to be told as you see it.

Some people write verbosely, some write spare. Some write multi chapter stories, some write short strokers.

Maybe a little less so…

Not a big public sex gal. Or public nudity.
