Mixing up the sex

[LizisReady]

So I have been working on a longer story for lit (currently about 10000 words and half done) and I have been struggling to keep myself interested in the sex scenes.

I ended up switching perspective away from the heroine to another person for the most recent sex scene and now I am trying to think of other ways to make the scenes stay fresh. Whilst still giving people something to get hot and bothered by.

So anyone else ran in to this problem of getting bored of the sex scenes?

Forgive me, but do you mean the heroine ?

 

[sr71plt]

Giving the perspective to heroin could get a little hazy, I'd think. (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

Sex scenes are usually the last thing I write as I struggle to write them.

You can have the later sex scenes occur someplace unusual or something else unique about them. I've got a story that's 32K words. The sex scenes:
Plain vanilla fuck in her bed
Plain vanilla fuck summarized in one short paragraph
Fuck on a table with food all around
Fuck in a dark room that had two other couples fucking [Sadly, deleted from story]
Fuck the ends up with her on a washing machine

Not necessarily bored, but yes, I'm dealing with a similar issue right now. My characters are all starting to sound the same and the sex is definitely the same, i.e. missionary or doggy, hard and deep, whether she wants it or not she's going to get fucked.

Like you, not sure how to break out of that rut.

Throw in different sex acts and taboos.

Maybe they introduce a vibrator. Maybe they have sex at the work place. There could be a risk of someone watching. Maybe they do it by the window and an officer worker in the other building sees, but they keep going anyway, or at least the female character knows they're being watched and allows it. Maybe a blindfold?

Those are the kinds of things which keep sex stories fresh. Those different little taboos which are added.

 

[Hypoxia]

Yes, bring in fresh taboos. If those don't work, start killing-off characters and bringing in fresh meat. And don't forget the tentacles.

Uh, yeah. One possibility is to write fewer sex scenes. If you're tired with them, maybe you could concentrate on the story for a while. I know it sounds strange here, but you could develop more complex, conflicted relationships so that the sex scenes, when they come, mean more to the reader.

That might earn you lower ratings for a better story.

So correct. If you bury the sex inside a great story, no one is ever bored.

Except maybe for those 93 percent of Literotica readers who are only here to read sex scenes.

There is a large part of the Lit crowd that seems to be here just to read the sex, but I don't think it's as large as 93%.

I picked it as a reality check. It's a lot closer to that than we keep getting hit with on the forum.

If the thought of your next sex scene doesn't have your hand between your legs, you aren't ready to write another sex scene. If you have to work at it - if you even have to think about it - you've lost the main point of writing free erotica. If it's not fun, come back when it is.

Also consider the possibility that despite the length you want for you story, the characters have done all the meshing they want to do and the story is over. Sometimes being out of sexy ideas means the characters are done with development or the story is out of plot.

When all else fails, tie her up and subject her to some ruthless tease and denial. Let the sound of her desperate whimpering attract a younger, innocent but terribly curious girl to the cabana window.

 

[NOIRTRASH]

All sex scenes work, and all fail, for the same cause that affects menus and wardrobe. Diverse taste and appetite. But you cant go wrong with congruence. Put it out there and someone will salute it.

Personally, I'm here for the articles, and the cookies.

My theory is the authors who come to the forum are generally a little more serious about writing some story to go with the sex.

The authors who are pure stroke aren't as interested in discussing 'writing' because they're only here for that one singular thing.

That's generalizing, but that's pretty much all we ever do, having not spoken to every author here.

Agree with that. But they therefore also come with a false bias of why most come to the site--and they post that bias as if it were gospel. It isn't. Most come here for quick "get off." A file of 872 varied stories gives me a solid research base on that.

Lit is a sex site, pure and simple. Hundreds of thousands of stories, countless picture threads dedicated to kinks and fetishes, role plays, etc...

The false bias of some of the writers I think is based on wanting to be considered a 'real writer' and no matter how talented you are when people hear erotica or porn they instantly think its not 'real writing' so I thinks its a defensive attitude.

The people who are really in denial about what this site is and is supposed to be is the pretentious jackals in the GB who think they're on C-span or CNN or some type of serious political or social platform, that's what cracks me up.

 

[nikyc]

I find that sex is easiest to write when it serves a point. That is, if it drives the plot forward. That's personal opinion though. Adding sex just for the sake of having sex is fine too, especially on a site like this. After all, sex sells. If you are having trouble with a scene maybe you should try asking yourself if it's really a necessary scene. Will it change anything in the story if you exclude it? If no, consider cutting it.

If you're writing a stroker then disregard the above. Then it's all about making it as kinky and depraved as possible.

 

[JackLuis]

Are your characters tired of sex? If so get new characters, or write more setup story to excite them and you.

I like to use unique "worlds" that make sex mandatory for the story to unfold.

Isn't that the point where vanilla couples start trying out toys and kinks to see what fits for them to keep things fresh and exciting?

If it really feels like the scene is dragging, skip it for awhile, and come back to it at a later time when you're in a more conducive head space for it.

Yeah I figured the best way for me was to start switching around things in time. So for example the lead has to film a porno at one point and I decided to skip over the actual sex scene and then come back to it later in little snippets.

Most of the sex in the story is now maybe one or two sentences and I am getting worried that I am getting too far off track.

After all people come here to cum.
