Do you ever come while writing a story?

I'm curious about this, and whether there's any kind of division along gender or age (or writing experience) lines.

My own stories, the ones I post on Lit, almost invariably are triggered by true sexual fantasies -- "true" in the sense that I experience them when I'm already feverish and aroused. There are exceptions, but in general that's how the stories take shape. The sexual aspect grabs hold of me, touches me where I'm vulnerable and unprotected; and then, later, the rest of the story starts to take shape in my mind.

Before I start writing, I play with the idea to see if it really seizes me -- both mentally and sexually, and maybe in the end it's all the same anyway. If I lie awake at night, thinking about some piece of unformed erotica even though I have to wake up in six hours; if I spend the whole night in a strange and exhausting half-sleep, alternately touching myself and being touched in my dreams; if I find myself staring blankly at a computer screen while I'm at work the next day, my mouth slightly open and my breathing shallow and ragged; then I'll probably end up writing it all down.

But sometimes... sometimes it's the words themselves, as I'm writing or imagining them, that will get me off. An odd phrase, unexpected (even to me) and visceral, even if it's describing an act that could seem prosaic to anyone who's read a lot of erotica or simply fucked a great deal, has the power to make my heart race and my thighs shake, even as I'm writing the words.

When I was writing the first story I posted on Lit, I made myself come... Wait, that's not quite right. The whole act of writing the story was like playing with myself or like actually being fucked, and it astounded me. The power seemed almost godlike, as if I was simply creating whatever I wanted (sexually) out of thin air, and making it real, giving it mass and heat and an extraoridinary sexual power.

Since then I've gotten extremely aroused while writing the stories, but I haven't been pushed over the edge like that -- until last night, when I started working on a new story that's been floating around in my mind for several days. I was writing a scene in which the main character gives a blowjob, and it just made me so fucking aroused -- picturing it in my mind, but also seeing the words on the screen -- that I had to stop writing...

So, ahem. I was just wondering how this compares to the experiences of other Lit authors. (Where's the "blush" emoticon? I never thought I would need it here...)
 
Absolutely

We need a blush emoticon.

I've seriously aroused myself while writing - but never to the point of coming. Wish I could - it'd be a new form of mastubation. A productive form even! (Assuming grammer stays in check. Mashing the keyboard while climaxing, although interesting, isn't writing in my book.)
 
:eek: <-- Isn't that a yawn? The emoticon of indifference?

I thought it would be animated. You get to watch the face blush up. Oh well. It does day embarrasment. Close enough.

No, I haven't.
Okay. I accept that I'm easy, literotically speaking, and that this may not be the norm.

I was just curious, and it was late enough that the question seemed important...

:eek:

That looks like a girl sucking a cock, to me. When I blush, I don't open my mouth that wide.
 
When writing and at a later date re-reading "Summer Cottage" which is posted on Lit (and with which I think I can do better with more rewriting) I have been and exspect to again become aroused to the point that I go and masterbate.

The idea of two men loving each other and the woman with them is highly erotic to me.

I guess, since it never has and never will happen to me, that makes me curious 'bout bi -curious boys?

;)
 
Damn. Nice share.

Usually I don't get aroused by my stories at all, but the last one I wrote was completely different. I don't know what it was about the last scene, but it was so incredibly erotic to write. The two lead characters had had their libidos increased by hypnotic suggestion and literally couldn't keep their hands off each other. The sex ended up as messy uncontrolled fucking, rather than the nice organised sex that I usually write and I ended up writing one handed, just writing down as much as I could as quickly as I could. Then I had to go back later and edit all the typos.

Wow, Sarah! Talk about being motivated to write!

Keep an eye on your readership numbers. That was a pretty effective ad, and it was beautifully expressed. I'd give it a 5.

As for coming: I think men need more direct contact to actually orgasm. At least I do. I've never had a hands-free O while awake.

When I was younger I would have to take masturbation breaks while writing. Writing an erotic scene is like focused daydreaming, but you don't just skip over it like in normal daydreaming. You have to keep the scene in your mind long enough to see all the details and feel all the feelings, so it's a very arousing experience.

But either I got inured or I got old, so nowadays I usually write hard and edit soft, so to speak.

Still, I've never been kept up all night thinking about a particular scene, and I've never gotten excited from the physical act of writing. I've gotten hard from a particular metaphor or image, but never over a specific word. I envy you that. It must be really delicious to write when you're like that

Hello Sarah and all!

New writer to group...enough said about that! :)

Great question. I think that the 'doing' may be a male/female difference thing. But the arousal could be universal. I keep a web site of my work and for that first year I updated monthly. So each month for a period of ten to fourteen consecutive early mornings and late nights, I religiously wrote erotica. I may be very wrong but I think that any woman who goes about her writing in that fashion, places herself in an unyielding state of arousal before, during and after the fact.

My writing is feed by a combination of life experiences placed in situations that I find arousing, and the shared explorations of friends. But my stories come to me initially as a single intense moment that I then question and live with for several days until I discover if it's a story or a personal desire.

Now if you put all of the above in any one place at any given moment, you have a writer who is on the edge of orgasm a lot! :) We women are IMO more in touch with the muscles that cradle our sexual responses below the navel. We just play with them more.

So have I released while writing...Yes! I am very much in touch with the passion of what I'm writing, whilst I write it.

The secondary question to your question, Sarah is ~ Do we writers of 'willow pages' write better or worse from being in that state as we write? And my answer to that is...I'm not sure.

Welcome to Lit, Mazora, and thanks for your post.

It's a good question, and I actually thought about it while writing my original post above -- then I decided the post was already long enough. :)

I don't think it necessarily helps with a story to write while you're aroused, any more than it hinders a story to be written without it; in fact, it's easy to see that being too wrapped up in the story could have a negative impact, especially if you don't edit "cold", later.

To me, it's just a motivational thing. If something grabs me with that much force, I want to do it justice with a good story. Motivation and immediate gratification, together. But also, I think I'm more open to writing certain kinds of things, and I'll have different ideas and images from which to draw, when I'm in that kind of state... It won't make my writing better, but it could make the story very different from what it might have been otherwise.

Thanks dr. M! It wasn't meant to be an advertisement, but I'll take what I can get...

Oh, I still need additional stimulation. :D It's just that my writing may get interrupted from time to time so I can reflect (with both hands) on a nice, well-crafted sentence or two. The (hands-free) build-up while I'm writing is what makes it necessary for me to reflect in the first place, though.

And now I'll shut up about all this before I burst into flames. :eek:
 
I'm willing to buck the trend

Yes. Quite often when I write I have take a "break." If I don't, I tend to think there's something wrong with my stories. Do I win the pervert award?
 
nope.

i'm generally way too busy trying to keep my braincells up with my hands flying over the keyboard *smile*

WOW!

Truthfully, I do become aroused when putting erotic words on paper. Always.

And if the story has been taking shape in my head for awhile before I write it's even more incredible.

But am I turned on when I edit?

No.

Hell, no!

Editing has to be the least arousing thing you can do in life!!!

:D
 
one handed typing

Many of us have joked about one-handed readers. I confess that I am a one-handed typist. Not every story has me fingering myself, but it frequently happens.

Just as several others have said, some of my stories are my personal fantasies. They have played through my mind many times, I have masturbated to them and when I write them down I find my fingers wandering.

There is also the technical side to it. I lke to focus on the textures, scents and sensations as I write. So, twisting my nipple and feeling it harden between my finger tips while my kegels clench involuntarily gets written into my stories with the imagery of that moment for me.

Perhaps I am just horny, though.

note the edit in the above post?

maybe i should get offline before i really get in trouble...






why is it when i'm overtired, my warped sense of humour kicks in?




ps. no offense sirhugs, it just struck me funny that's all :kiss:
 
Mmmmmmmmmm

Never actually splattered the fat, but I have been known to give myself a nice warm feeling bone-on from time to time, especially when writing from a real life experience and thinking back on the event.

I take the point about horny posts as well though sirhugs, must go see if the wife's still in the mood, ;) ;)

pops..............:D
 
Interesting responses so far.

I'm not excited when I write (and I'm certainly not when I'm editing), but I wouldn’t be surprised that most men aren’t, either.

For me, I could get pretty randy well before I sit at a computer keyboard, mulling over the general structure of a story idea and trying to choreograph a visual scene in my mind's eye—but not during the process of writing. But I have found most women authors, especially here on Lit, write erotica and masturbate at the same time (talk about something that can get me randy ... *sigh*). I suspect we'll find more women ... ahem ... enjoying themselves during writing erotica than men.

Age is also a factor (is this a surprise?). When I was a younger man (*cough*), and hormones were constantly coursing through my blood, almost anything animate seemed to be a focal point for sexual fantasy or fetish (and some things inanimate, like that cute, curvy apple tree in the woods near my house ... yeah, the one with the vagina-shaped knothole halfway up its trunk ... but I digress ... ). And if I came across erotic literature, created by human hands, in any form, I would have to guarantee myself a session of release to unload the coiled, sexual tension. Today, with years of experience under my … err … belt, and the CONSTANT surge (scourge?) of hormones all but a memory, sex and sensuality offer a far broader and interesting landscape for the gray matter in my libido, displacing the primal urges s welling up in my hypothalamus to instinctively impregnate a pound of flesh.


Damn.

Forget what I said.

I have a woody. :devil:

Is that when you masturbate in front of a magazine, and the little spermies shoot all the way to the other side?

Nice woody.

:heart:


Yes, I know that not all semen contains sperm. I just like writing "spermies."

not sure where you think the edit created sexual humour. I just caught a typo.
