I know I've been gone from here awhile, but when did the AH become...talking about non-sexy, non-writerly stuff?

Please someone talk about alternate words for vagina and penis PLEASE!!!

:eek::rolleyes::eek::heart::kiss:

Oh, God I'm so fucking horny! I'm sitting here right now with my cock in my hand flipping through lit for today's one handed read!

Oh...oh....oh....
 
I reserve my sex for my stories.



When I remember to put some in. :D
 
Ah yes, sex....

You must be looking at the wrong threads.

I like this one too. Remember? We write stories. sometimes they have sex in it. or romance. or angry sex... or revenge sex... or I can't believe I fucked him/her/them sex. And sometimes you chat about... tropes about sex, or stereotypical characters and how to make them come alive on the page. (ha, notice the pun?) I'm not looking to cyber with... eww. that's gross.

I just want to chat about the art from that is erotica, that is which we are here to read and WRITE...
 
Some of my stories have sex that is only implied.

It happens off-stage, or the reader has to supply the overt sex for themselves.

Some feedback and PCs have containted complaints that they, as a reader, don't want to work that hard to get the sex. Other have found implied sex stimulating and refreshing, a change from the full-on descriptions of naked bodies coupling at infinitum.

What do you think? Is it valid to write erotica without explicit sex?

Or am I cheating the readers?

My impression is that Lit is a very broad church. Some readers arrive with a wide range of experiences and fertile imaginations; others move their lips while reading and manage to circumvent any and all suggestively-sketched situations and characters. You can’t please them all, Ogg – so you might as well please yourself.

I think there is a time and a place for everything.

It depends on what kind of piece is being written. if you have the romance, really drawn out through the whole book, then there better be at least a tastefully written sex scene. It doesn't have to be explicit.

If the romance is part of a larger work, with other plot points, then an explicit sex scene or two would be on par with keeping the interest of a reader who is reading the novel because of the erotic hook from the back page book. For example. "The Ice Princess" by Camilla Lackberg. One of the quotes on the back of the book called it erotic. this peaked my interest because i am not usually interested in Crime Scene Mysteries.

I read the book, and there was absolutely nothing erotic about it. (unless the reader is supposed to get off on finding out who killed the lady.)


If it's advertised as erotica and not romance, there better be some hot sexy scenes in it.

I'd get much more turned on by a story that details the seduction and elides the actual sex than vice versa. Unless they're doing something unusually imaginative in bed, seduction is where the creativity and personality come through.
 
Six Chinese acrobats, a couple on the high wire, two women and a man on the flying trapeze. Sex under the big top. Now, should I bring in the clowns or not?

That sounds like a cunning array of stunts :D

Why? do you want the sex to be funny? Or just really flexible?
 
what is your favorite conflict in an erotic story?

Something taboo, the character should not sleep with this person for some reason (incest speaks for itself) personally I like age being a factor.

Solid professional woman in her late 30's- mid 40's attracted to the young bad boy bartender is a fav of mine. She knows she shouldn't for a variety of reasons, but finds herself drawn to the bar and flirting with him more and more

An easy one is 'is he gay?' A character has a crush but doesn't know if he is 'available' or not.

I usually don't have 'sex' conflicts per se. I have story conflicts. Although right now I'm dealing with a man who has taken two homeless boys under his wing. He has to deal with his attraction to them, even though he took them in out of the goodness of his heart, and he doesn't want to be a scumbag.

They're attracted to him, too. But I'm still having troubles writing the scene. It's my first threesome.
 
My favorite conflict is one person about to do something they've never done before-- will they do it? Will they regret it?

(hint-- I really like my endings to be happy)

I think these are the easiest to write.
