Dilemmas when writing speculative fiction

[PennyThompson]

Has anyone else had to make these choices? Between aesthetics and practicalities, for example?

To me personally, the practicalities are part of what make non-human erotica so interesting!

If I'm going to read (or write) a story about a monster or an alien or a demon with a tail, I want to imagine the ways it would be similar and different from making love to a human.

If the tail gets in the way of certain sex positions, to me that's funny and sexy, not a problem! Write about it!

Is the tail prehensile like a monkey? Could she curl it around MC's face, or thigh, or other things?

Is it subconsciously emotive like a cat or dog, twitching or vibrating or curling inquisitively to reveal her emotional state?

Is it sensitive to touch? Is it an erogenous zone? There's so much erotic potential!

 

[StillStunned]

How big are the imps?

About 3 feet tall, with massive cocks. You know, your classic Hollywood imp.

Is it sensitive to touch? Is it an erogenous zone? There's so much erotic potential!

In my D&D series "Dungeon of Desire", the tiefling's stump of a tail is highly erogenous.

 

[Bramblethorn]

You could always make the tail out of smoke, leave it up to the readers to question if it's actually a tail or an optical illusion from the flame bikini.

It was good enough for Tolkien!

I must have missed the Unfinished Tale about the orc in the flame bikini.

I need to check the books again. I don't remember the Balrog wearing a flame bikini?

Wait a minute - are you telling me this is the stuff I've been missing out on my whole life by not looking into D&D groups near me?

Not my D&D group. If I want sexy stuff in my D&D, I have to write stories.

The bikini was made of shadows, it was the dildo that was made of fire.
And I second @PennyThompson , if there's a tail, it needs to be part of the fucking. Stuff like that is part of the draw for the folks who read non-human smut in the first place.

That's an idea, but the concept is that the sorcerer is awkward and inexperienced, and the succubus is completely in command. I think the comic relief would diminish that contrast.

So have her point out the problem and her preferred fix. "Make sure you remember this, human, you don't want to pull my tail. Trust me, you really don't."

Alternately the imp gets it right, later the human doesn't, and the succubus laughs at him. "I mean, really! An IMP got it right, and you. Did. Not. How sad!"

Balrogs don't wear bikinis. They're exhibitionists

Hmm, a thin, strong, prehensile tail could be used to control the imp giving her anal then.

Wait a minute - are you telling me this is the stuff I've been missing out on my whole life by not looking into D&D groups near me?

Yes, although most groups only break out the book of lust(found exclusively online, and as unofficial as it gets) only with groups that they're really comfortable with and are sure will be up to the extra dice rolls, and the sexy spells.

Is that a euphemism?

Special features disk, they cut it from the directors cut, duh.

You gotta roll dice to know how well you preformed, how many times someone came, and if you're not wearing the right protection, whether you got an std or if someone got pregnant.

Trust me, DM's love giving their players std's, although most just skip the pregnancy thing entirely.

Well, fuck. Anyone know of a free clinic nearby? If anyone has some amoxicillin they can share, that'd be cool too.

Tsk tsk, D&D always skipping out on real life consequences. Are there condoms break rolls I wonder?

If you're wearing a condom, yes. Unless you're wearing an enchanted condom.

To misquote a joke's punchline, "Left nut went Ug, magic condom went Ug, right nut went Pop"

Magic does all sorts of 'fun' things, especially when it's new, misused, or crafted by the barely competent. A 'living condom' that totally wraps Willy and his Willy, blocking fresh air? One that never slips off? Is unbreakable (see punchline above), is eternally lubricated, or has other unexpected side effects could all make great maguffins for comedy-porn with significant shadenfreud.

Is this like that old saying, "what happens when an unbreakable magic condom meets an unstoppable condom-breaking spell"?

I've played the wrong D&D games in my younger days.
