The AH Coffee Shop and Reading Room 02: A Comma (is a Restful Pause)

[Handley_Page]

Chloe, sitting on someone's face is not the place to giggle.

I understand that it's actually illegal over here now.

Ah, the kettle's hot; tea for now, I think.

 

[TxRad]

It was 75f here this afternoon so I spent so time in the yard and shop. High in the mid 50's tomorrow.

Now to figure out what I want for supper.

Fresh coffee for the evening group and a fresh kettle for HP's tea but he'll share.

Chloe, as I have noted before, you are one strange young lady.

Shhhh, Tex. Don't tell them. LOL.

On the other hand, how many asian girls do you know writing sex on Literotica. And talking about it, at least here. So, hmmm, okay, yes.

Aaaand, just wrote it in to Fields of Gold.

As if a man of your caliber would find 'normal' young ladies at all interestng...

Define normal.

I've found that normal is highly over rated, to say the least.

 

[TarnishedPenny]

Precisely my point, sir.

Porridge is normal. Macaroni is normal. Ketchup is normal.

 

[TxRad]

Porridge is normal. Macaroni is normal. Ketchup is normal.

They may be normal but I ain't mixing them together.

 

[NotWise]

They may be normal but I ain't mixing them together.

When I was a kid I found that lots of normal things made great combinations. Peanut butter, pickle and mayonnaise sandwiches, for instance.

I like giggles and sex. I can't think of many things that go better with sex than a few intimate giggles, and then a few gasps, and maybe a moan, groan, or what have you. How do you describe those noises, anyway?

 

[ChloeTzang]

I think there's a good blog article here. There's lots of writeups on words to use when writing sex, but just about nothing on words to describe sex sounds. I find myself using the same words all the time to simulate gasps, groans, moans and sobs or whatever. I find it really difficult to come up with anything different.

I mean, how DO you describe your housemate wailing her head off wordlessly through the shared bedroom wall. "aaahhhhoooooooghhhh." LOL. You can only repeat that so often and it gets boring in the story. In real life, maybe not so much coz by then you're not really thinking

I'm not going for onomatopoeia. Maybe some do. I use things like "she chanted his name," " groaned through clenched teeth," "caught her breath and screamed." etc.

I came across a recording once that was of the sounds that men make during sex. It was rather pig-like. I find it more pleasant to describe sweat-slicked skin, wet lips, teeth on tender places, all mostly out of control.

Pig-like noises--maybe not so sexy.

 

[MagicaPractica]

I think metaphors come into play here, whether you go for something lyical and poetic or humorous.

That's the problem I always have. I figure just describing sex without the noises is only part of capturing the reader. Those noises and sounds are as important a description of the sex act as the sensations and thoughts and the more out of control it gets, the more they become an integral part of what's happening.

"she chanted his name" to me isn't as intimate an experience for the reader as "Gerry .... Gerry ... oh Jesus ... do it to me Gerry" or whatever your character is saying. I guess it's also style. For me, I'm trying to take my readers right inside my character's head so that they're as close to experiencing what she's thinking and feeling as I can make it without actually being her. So that's where the sounds come in for me. That said, we all have different writing styles, so it's whatever works for each of us but that was kind of where I was coming from on that one.

Pig-like noises? LOL. That's what guys do and I love those big piggies being all piggy. It's what makes them so wonderful. Now how do you make those piggy noises sexy when you write them? The challenge... I guess it's to get your reader so involved and wound up in the story that when you use those onomatopoeic piggy grunts, it gets them going coz they're so in the moment of what you're writing.

Totally a style thing here, I think. I won't usually try to quote things that people say while having sex.

For me, I'm trying to take my readers right inside my character's head so that they're as close to experiencing what she's thinking and feeling as I can make it without actually being her.

Maybe it's just me, but if it's good sex then there shouldn't be anything inside her head when she's getting laid well. It should all be going on lower down.

I like to stress the hot, slick skin, the warmth, the feeling that there is nothing in the world but your lover. Okay, that's probably not something you're going to get while being gang banged by the biker gang or implanted with alien seed.

I'm still looking for ways to make that touch, that reflex, those actions and reactions more real--and without being repetitive or carrying on about it forever. Sounds of various sorts are there from both partners but for me their effect is pretty pale compared to the scent, the taste, and the motion--which I've probably never described well.

I'm making do with things like "her hot breath on his neck," but I remember how past lovers have urged me on with unintelligible noises, like something that is common to us as animals, but far more ancient than language. How do you put into words something more ancient than language?

 

[Handley_Page]

I think I prefer references to words which are inarticulate noises.
Getting the idea into the reader's head is more important that graphically illustrating them.

It's a cold, cold morning here, with bright sunshine. I feel the urgent need for

[TarnishedPenny]

Good morning, all.

Chelsey buns, anyone? Hot and gooey!

(Tex in 3, 2, 1...)

 

[CoffeeWithMonkeys]

I can not seem to kick this cold. It just lingers.
I'm surviving on hot black coffee and Nyquil. I think this weekend when I get a break from volunteering I'll make a big pot of chicken noodle soup with lots of garlic and ginger.

 

[Tio_Narratore]

The best treatment I find for a cold is drinking plenty of liquids (I favour a nice 12-year old pot-still) and staying in bed for two or three days with a warm friend. It doesn't cure the cold, but it makes having it worthwhile.

 

[NotWise]

Happy Groundhog Day! Does anyone have big plans for the occasion?

Barbecued groundhog with cranberry sauce? Lol. Joking aside, no. Going to work on that Fields of Gold story and cut the scope right back, get it in as a short, then go back and finish the full length version. It'll be a bit of a hack job now tho.

 

[TxRad]

I knew I should have gotten up early butt... Housemate had other plans for me. I love me some sticky buns in the morning.

Chloe, quit being mean to HP.

I'm with Tio on the best cold treatment.

Groundhog Day? I never did figure out how them varmints got a day of their own. Have you seen the holes these guys dig in perfectly good pasture land? Anyway, they don't look like they would have much bacon on their belly.

Fresh coffee is now available. Help yourself, I think I'm going back for seconds on what I had earlier.

Groundhog Day is Candlemas, and ...

"If Candlemas be clear and bright,
Six weeks more winter are in sight."

And if it is clear and bright, the groundhog will see his shadow.

As far as bacon goes, though, the Almanac Singers have addressed that...

Groundhog

 

[voluptuary_manque]

Being from the West, I've never encountered groundhogs. I remember reading in in Outdoor Life when I was a cub that they are remarkably tasty and always wondered about that. Cool song, BTW.

I know this sounds odd but my favorite cure for a cold or any other virus is hot grapefruit juice and sleep. I don't know why grapefruit juice. Heck, I don't even like grapefruit but for some strange reason I find it comforting. There are reports that it works for others . . .

Trolls! Someone came along and ran a series of one bombs from the top of my story list to the bottom. Cleared off almost all the red 'H's'. Some people . . .

Send Laurel a PM with a url to your story list and explain what happened. She's pretty good at cleaning up troll poop.
