By popular request (Perdita), I'm posting a follow-up to the Penis Angle thread. The question is rather self-explanatory, I think, but just to make sure, here it is in plain English:

How aroused should you be when writing Erotica?
 
Thanks, Flicka. I voted damp (#2) only because I don't think I've ever had a 'dry as dust' twat. I rarely get aroused when I write erotica, it's work and fiction for me, and I'm thinking too much. But if I take a break and go on with the fantasy then I can go with it, if convenient.

What still impresses me is how and when I can get aroused by reading erotica. I have just a few books with stories that do it every time, even though I know what's coming (so to speak). Sometimes I can get aroused enough that I hardly need to touch myself. The story/fantasy, the details of it, can make my little pulse throb and heat up amazingly fast. My nipples react in time with that.

This happened once at work. I was reading a Lit. story and became so aroused I had to shut my office door. It was a quick but very intense orgasm. I like when that happens, but of course can never predict it, whether on my own or with a bloke.

Perdita :heart:
 
I vote for wet, myself. Embarrassing as it is, I must confess that I was really wet when writing "The Worst Chain Story Ever, ch2", and I think it's one of the sexiest stories I've ever written. It's horrible, yes, and I did my best to do a lousy job, but I think it's a great stroke story.:eek:
 
Number four, "Wet", for me. I *always* get aroused when writing what I enjoy most, but never to the point where it distracts me from actually writing the story.

I don't go all out for vulgarity, either, I just write how I feel, and what my body goes through. ;)

It's odd, I often find I get more turned on by my own writing than I do by others' - with very few notable exceptions. Maybe it's because I remember the process of getting those words on 'paper', and what led me to write that particular story in the first place.

Yeah, I voted for "Wet" just prior to typing my post. And, it won't let me vote again, so it must've registered. :(
 
I personally thought 'excuse me while I find another use for this pencil' was hilarious - but I'm of the theory that as a fantasy or experience - I'm not telling which ;) - thinking about it first time over is kind of hot, but then once you get into the writing - eh - I think to much.

That's why I have a few people in my life stand around naked as I read the story to them, then constantly measure their ' turned on-ness,' but then again on the other hand I've been known to yell, "Jesus christ stop touching yourself while I'm reading."

:devil:
 
I voted as wet as you can get. For me the best sex scenes are those I write while I live them in my head. It is not uncommon to spend the whole of a day teasing myslef, getting close but not quite, before I sit down and write. If I am in luck and my muse hasn't deserted me, I can almost feel the sensation through my own body as I write them and that makes it exceptionally easy to describe things in loving detail.

So wet as you can get without going over is my vote.

Wow, Colly, can I be your secretary? I know shorthand, wink wink.

Perdita :p

With a secretary as gorgeous, talented, and irresistable as you dear Dita, I fear I would get little writing done. Inspired I would be, but I think I would find other channels for that creative energy :)

Pardon me, is this the wet pussy poll? Seeing I've been kicked off every bloody thread, I wonder if I could alight here for a couple of posts?

I promise to behave.

Hombre, I haven't seen that you've been kicked off anywhere. Please, get comfy. And do not behave. Enjoy the damp and warmth. :kiss:

define shorthand, Perdita. I don't need a secretary, but I am looking for an intern:devil:

Well, it involves funny squiggles and lots of start/stop motion. Also well manicured, short fingernails and emollients. I'm a senior at this so I'm not cheap.

I voted wet. After all, I write erotica/porn for fun, not profit. Sex is the best hobby around. It must be, everybody does it.

Name your price! I've no doubt you're well worth it!

Okay. I don't fit anywhere. I'm sometimes really wet, sometimes just damp, sometimes dry - all while writing sex scenes. I don't see any difference in how they come out. I'm weird. Flicka, your poll needs to be modified. :(
 
I find that when I'm excited about the characters and plot line, I will automatically be excited just thinking of what they'll do next, so writing it is smooth and flows well. It's the editing that is a bitch for me, because I lose the verve for what I've written, once I've written it. When rereading it there's no suspense in the hot scene coming up and I have the hardest time not making major changes, to make it hot for myself again.

I think it's best to be good and turned on when writing something erotic, and if what you write gets you hotter, all the better. I just have to really hold back on the editing and try not to lose the lust that drove me to write it in the first place.

~lucky
 
As a sideline to this poll, what I find amusing when doing my Volunteer Editor bit is the authors who do get excited while writing, and let it show. There we are; tab A is going into aperture B and the spelling, grammar and, most of all, punctuation goes to pot. I'm sure if we were using inkwells the writing would be almost illegible.
 
The Dante's Inferno Test has banished you to the Second Level of Hell!

Here is how you matched up against all the levels:

Level | Score
Purgatory | Very Low
Level 1 - Limbo | Moderate
Level 2 | Very High
Level 3 | High
Level 4 | Very Low
Level 5 | High
Level 6 - The City of Dis | Very High
Level 7 | High
Level 8- the Malebolge | High
Level 9 - Cocytus | Moderate

"You have come to a place mute of all light, where the wind bellows as the sea does in a tempest. This is the realm where the lustful spend eternity. Here, sinners are blown around endlessly by the unforgiving winds of unquenchable desire as punishment for their transgressions. The infernal hurricane that never rests hurtles the spirits onward in its rapine, whirling them round, and smiting, it molests them. You have betrayed reason at the behest of your appetite for pleasure, and so here you are doomed to remain. Cleopatra and Helen of Troy are two that share in your fate."

Take the test

Willing to help all those that suffer with this problem! Will work for food?

Considering a change in the type of work I do. Willing to crunch down under the desk and be energetic for hours as you write. I promise not to talk, and not disturb your thoughts, OK I can't promise that part.

Just think of the money you will save. Instead of doing loads of laundry to write one story.

It was just a thought! Seems to be a need for somekind of service.
