Find some writers on Chyoo whose works or style you like, and ask them if they're willing to look at your draft threads. Writers of Literotica stories frequently acknowledge the help of editors and early pre-readers.
Read stories you like. Ask yourself why you like them. Read stories you don't like so well. Ask yourself why you don't like them.
Some early works of English-language erotic literature are off-copyright and freely available, for example, Fanny Hill: http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/25305 , or the memoirs of Casanova (for example, Volume 2c or v.08) http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/2958

Easy for me...Like Characters feeling like real people whilst in the middle of sex, just because you are having sex doesn't means talking stops.
Don't like, Forced sex, hard dom with lots of slapping, also don't like characters that give up all their power to be submissive, and cheating wives doesn't get me at all. Throw away characters that are basically a stat sheet to fuck (i.e. Blond 34C-24-34 comes up and says "Want to fuck?" Dave said "Hell yeah!"). People that really don't know the meaning of EROTICA...
I blame the nineties for taking away the stories and/or set ups in porn and just mass producing compilations and all that. That's why I like Girlfriends Films...although they go in almost the opposite direction and actually have me fast forwarding to get to the sex...heh

It's actually an interesting question. I know I was writing my own variations of erotic fiction as a teen, years before I ever got to experience sex, and I know that I had some very misplaced ideas before then. It's certainly an easy thing to see images or videos of people performing sex and the anatomy involved, but none of that will tell you exactly what it feels like to touch and explore a woman's vulva, or the sensation of penetrating a woman's vagina.
But, reading other people's works will at least give you the tools to 'fake it' (at least, those works that contain enough detail to be useful in that regard). It's also worth nothing that sex isn't all about the mechanics or anatomy, but rather about the interactions of the characters involved. Even a well written sex scene can leave me cold if I have no conception of who these people are who are having sex. On the other hand, a lot of description about what goes on during sex isn't always important if there's a nice amount of lead up to that event -the build up of tension, the playful interplay, the tug and pull of assertiveness and reluctance. By creating an interesting situation with well realized characters, one can create a very erotic story without very detailed first hand knowledge of actual intercourse.
