Categories that you have or always will avoid

[John_Vandermeer]

FWIW, I’m 3k words into a prostitution story. But - rather like Coleoidphilia isn’t really about tentacle porn - this is not really about working girls. Maybe I think way too highly of myself, but I like looking at tropes through a distorting lens.

And given your comments about experience, are we to believe...

There is one I kinda object to being a category:

1. Interracial Sex - that just sex, right?

I see where you are going here, but categories exist to guide readers to stories they will like. If IR is your interest then obviously the IR category is there for you. Otherwise, you'd have to search tags, which may not give you exactly what you're looking for.

I could never write Gay male, Transgender, or cross dressing.

As a straight CIS male, I don't know that I'd be able to capture those kinds of tales honestly.

Same here.
Other than these pretty much anything is on the table if the right idea pops up. I never thought I'd do incest, non-con, or LW, but here I am with a non-con and incest story, with an LW in the works.

 

[EmilyMiller]

Good question. Incest and Taboo? But that’s diominated by Incest.

I wrote a story about an Only Fans punter meeting a pornstar he had fallen in love with. Money exchanged hands, but the story wasn’t really centered on that. It was about what content consumers think about content creators and how that can get misunderstood on both sides.

I think I ended up in Erotic Couplings. But I never do well in E/C - maybe as my stories only go there if I can’t think of anywhere else.

Given it was based on a real pornstar, I guess it could have gone in Celebrities. But I went to great lengths to obscure her identity, so not so much. Fetish might have been another option.

The current one might end up in SciFi & Fantasy as it has some fantasy elements.

I guess I object to IR as a kink. People are just people. Who gives a fuck about melanin content in this day and age?

Would not some people also possibly argue then, that mature sex is just sex?

Yes. Me for one.

And that is also based on experience. It’s not like I’ve made a secret of it.

[Paul_Chance]

I'm in the none group. If the inspiration struck, I'd write in any category.

 

[MrPixel]

As far as "avoid", I learned my lesson with LW. Anything else? I guess no reason to "avoid" since I don't have much to say with most categories on Lit, and just write what I'm comfortable with and park it where it makes sense.

Would not some people also possibly argue then, that mature sex is just sex?

Not if the mature factor is the highlight, such as a lot of what I write, where a septuagenarian F is especially promiscuous.

This was the published “prostitution” story.

The other one is in my draft folder.

But journeywomen writers like me have to fall back on what we know most of the time.

I've only been writing my stories for not quite two years yet.

Most of them have absolutely no basis is reality for MY actual sex life, past or present.

Ive never had a CFNM based relationship with a young college redhead.

I've never had a hot, mature woman doctor milk my prostate.

I've never been abducted by aliens and trapped naked with a beautiful stranger.

I've never sold my soul to the Devil and had kinky, rough sex with a beautiful nun to save it.

I've never developed a working relationship with a sex worker after she sent me nudes by accident, nor have I ever had a shared masturbation experience with my secretary after she sent me pics meant for her boyfriend. Hell, I don't even have a secretary.

I could go on, but I think I've made my point.

With a little imagination and a lot of BS, you can write practically anything.

And the there are a few I really don’t like:
...Non Consent / Reluctance

I've always found this take perplexing. While I can understand an aversion to NC, reluctance is also part of the category. Every seduction is, at it's heart, a story of reluctance being overcome. I would further comment that it is nigh on impossible to write a good story without an obstacle to overcome, which can be framed as reluctance to overcome. Takes all types, I guess.

Reluctance isn’t rape. Non-con is.

It's not difficult at all to understand. Many people in general are quite horrified by this category, it falls into a very dark taboo whether fantasy/fictional or otherwise, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Personal preference is just that... what some find fascinating others wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole. Of all categories most people tend to avoid, I don't find it hard to understand the psychological aspect of many wanting to steer clear of NC/R all together.

I think part of the deal with Cozbi was signing a nondisclosure form...

 

[AlinaX]

A lot of my writing strays into non-con territory, and I often dip into the category when reading too. I back out of stories that give off rape-glorification vibes, but there is a lot of eroticism in being forced to endure what we would never dare in reality. It's interesting that being raped by a tentacle monster or an unfeeling machine or an alien cyborg is an entirely different experience to the same by an actual human.

I think Interracial is the one category I do avoid completely.

I'm agree with a lot of this, because I fall in the same category as an author and reader... but I think in most cases the difference between something created entirely in the realm of fiction such as a tentacle monster or machine/cyborg compared to a human character is what invokes the immediate shift from questionable enjoyment to displeasure. Realism and relatability in a lot of cases is why most people read, and write. When it crosses into the taboo realms such as NC/R, I'm sure that can be overwhelming, if not downright unattractive for a lot of people.

I've come to terms I'm a sick puppy in most cases, because I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum, but I understand and accept entirely the reluctance most people have involving the category.

I'm definitely gonna have to fit it in a story somewhere.

 

[TarnishedPenny]

I started out here with the firm intention of writing at least one story in each category. I’m over 15 now and have dropped the challenge. Frankly, while I have no doubt I could write, oh, Gay Male for instance, I write for fun and I just don’t find some topics all that interesting. I suppose it might be different if my agent was pushing a lucrative contract, but I don’t have an agent and am not hunting for one.

So, ‘no interest’ areas include GM, trans, Celebrities, interracial and Incest.

I have not enough talent for Audio or Illustrated and don’t know enough for How To.

I was asked to do some bespoke Non-Con, did it and found it opened some dark doors I’d been trying to forget, so that’s not going to happen again. Loving Wives’ comments make it a cesspool and I avoid it, which is a pity because I like some of the stories there and do have some ideas.

I’ve done Mind Control, but in a light vein, and I am still not sure what a ‘chain story’ is in daylight.

I guess that’s it.

 

[HopelessDreams]

Many people here seem to have an extreme attitude about what non-con is.

Secretive voyeurism and forced feminization could also be considered non-con in the sense that they’re non-consensual, but then again, we have other categories for those kinks.

Then there’s also the proliferation of instances in other categories in which a character doesn’t ask for permission or give adequate time for the recipient to back out before trying a particular act, but the recipient is completely fine with it anyway.

Like?

I don’t think many people would view those and rape as being awfully similar.

If they are OK with it. Then that’s consent, albeit retrospectively. The issue is justifying an actual rape kink by adding some crap about the woman (and it’s always a woman) cumming, or saying thank you afterwards. That’s just bullshit.

If you want to play rape games, knock yourself out. I have done incest roleplay and I can tell the difference between that and real incest. But if you want to write a realistic rape (which is a violent act even if no hitting is involved) and then say the woman enjoyed it, you have a tenuous grip on reality.
