Do Exhib/Voy stories have to end in orgasm?

[davion2308]

I enjoy writing about realistic exhibitionism, i.e. my girlfriend who shows off more skin to random strangers doesn't then suddenly turn into a woman who swallows the loads from 10 guys waiting patiently in line.

I'm also aiming for more realistic fiction in a character arc instead of jumping right into the sexiness without the reader knowing the characters ... or at least getting a glimpse into their lives.

The question is: Does doing that suddenly make a story less enjoyable for the reader? Say a woman shows off, she likes it, her man gets turned on, and cut-scene because we expect them to go home and fuck but the sex itself is not a part of the story. Is there no satisfying conclusion because there's no orgasm?

I write 90% for me but 10% with the audience in mind. I'd like people to read my writing, even as a warm-up while they look for something else to work them up, and still enjoy it.

Your thoughts?

Depends. I (in my humble opinion) can write out the act of simply dressing up so well that it's enough for me. The scene becomes gratifying.

I think that some of the best part of voeur is catching the character off-guard, defenseless, relaxed and on their own. And then glancing things that they wouldn't show to a lover. It doesn't need to be sex.

And even sex scene doesn't need the big O to be sexy and beautiful.
I recently am mulling over scenes where a woman doesn't cum but is left fulfilled. Many girls don't cum during sex for various reasons. And they are ok to not cum every time, afaik.

I don't think it's absolutely necessary that the exhibitionist character has to have sex or masturbate and achieve orgasm by the end of the story/chapter. The absence of orgasm may disappoint some readers looking for a stroke scene, but a away around that is to write the exhibitionist scene LIKE a stroke scene. Develop it and make it very sexy. Readers in this category are looking for sexy exhibitionist scenes, not just scenes where characters have an orgasm.

Could you describe in more detail how the scene will be written? Are you saying that you will leave out the scenes where your characters do go home/have sex although you’ll imply that they did? If that’s your plan, I would strongly suggest reconsidering, unless this approach is necessary for your plot. I don’t think this structure would be unsatisfying for lack of orgasms; I think it would be because of the cuts. Leaving critical scenes out of any story tasks the reader with the creative work of imagining/constructing what was left out, which, in any genre of literature, is generally off-putting. As Simon points out, you can write the E/V scenes—and, if there are any, sex scenes—provocatively and in development of your character arc without orgasms.

But aren't those two acts entwined? It's like I stuck my cock in her and [blank]

It leaves one part of the story unfulfilled.

It would bother me.

No, it’s perfectly OK to do that.

I would suggest that you might want to put a short warning up front along the lines of This story is more about tease and display than actual sex; readers should be aware that it doesn’t end in orgasm.

This is a porn site by whatever name you wish; most readers expect a ‘happy ending’. There are many quite willing to accept what you are proposing and be happy about it. Equally, there are others who will feel cheated. I’m not arrogant enough to say that everybody should just be happy with whatever they are given, so a heads-up would be a good idea.

Indeed, it should be alright. I actually think that mandatory added sex degrades a exhibitionist/voyeur story rather than enhancing it, often enough. Realistic situations rarely lead to such an act, especially between the principal participants. Masturbation is way more likely, though.

Fantasy, sure. As an aside I wonder why there seems not to be many stories where a character's fantasy, described in high detail, is the main act. Well, perhaps the double removed from the reader is less stimulating? There's readers who seem to not grasp or willingly transcend the fiction seemingly experiencing the story as reality; with those, that concept might not sit well.

Let's say, a girl is flashing passers by, and eventually streaks across the park naked. Does such ever happen in real world? However rare and unlikely, it does. Does she fuck a stranger at the end? Now that's Bullshit. At most she brings herself off reliving fantasies about giving herself up to a stranger. Just maybe, if she's nutcase enough and/or the writer is clever, reader may never be sure was that act real. Keeping it real, she much more likely will call a friend asking may she crash at their place, or some such. There, sex is likely, but that's at least a bit at risk to be a different story, or episode.

Let's say, a man steps just a little aside from his group, and spots two women skinny dipping down the river. Who are they? Too far to hear their dialogue, just rare giggles. Do they know they could be seen or are oblivious? Are they lovers, or sisters or mother and daughter? What's the chance they will do anything sexual between them selves? Alas, nothing happens. How the man could approach them, without freaking them out? He can't. Let's be real, he's himself is at a semi-public place at least, he can't even jack off. Likely, he's even concerned with not drawing attention to the naked women, much the act of observing itself, trying to act casual. The whole story is just swirling fantasies in the head of our narrator creep. Just maybe, his girlfriend is nearby, and gets unexpectedly vigorous workout. Perhaps, that's how the story may be framed, as his confession why he's so extremely aroused.
