Do you have to be horny to write an erotic story

[jeroming]

Could you write almost anytime, or do you have to be sexually aroused to be able to write? I do not write much, but I have to be at least a little aroused to write, and then writing makes me hornier. Maybe other people can or prefer to write when they are not horny. What are your experiences?

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

Its helpful to dissociate from any experience thats emotionally overwhelming.

 

[lovecraft68]

I can write either way. What I tend to notice is the sex scene might be slightly hotter if I'm getting worked up, but afterwards there are a whole lot more mistakes to correct.

True.

I might be when I have the original idea, but by the time I've started writing, and certainly by the time I finish the first draft and begin editing - No.

The idea could be erotic. Getting it to be a complete story is not.

Its identical to a real relationship. Its seems a whole lot more appealing going in, and then the work starts.

By the time I did the final edit on my 240k Circle Novel I found I was beginning to come up with ways to kill all the characters because I was really starting to hate them by then.

Drat! Dont do that!

Actually that exercise came in handy. IN a spin off I had one die, but it turned out to be a dream sequence.

I learned awhile ago to never discard an idea and I have a folder on my lap top called "Fragments"

Just some things I wrote I had no use for at the time, but borrow from extensively when writing a longer piece.

Thats the idea.

You just never know where the path goes.

 

[PennLady]

For me, personally, no.

 

[Neonurotic]

I'm usually not when I start to write, but by the time my character orgasms, I'm aroused.

 

[sr71plt]

It helps to be horny, yes.

 

[Dyslexicea]

It helps to be horny, yes.

Aren't you always horny?

 

[_Lynn_]

For me, personally, no.

For me either.

 

[sr71plt]

Aren't you always horny?

The long answer. No.

Are you going to be yet another one who follows me around on the forum and back bites? If so, perhaps you should take a number.

 

[lovecraft68]

That was a back bite? I didn't see it that way, but If it was she needs practice.

 

[Dyslexicea]

I'm just being playful! I'm in a good mood today but tomorrow I may just bite!

 

[sr71plt]

It's all in context.

 

[WyldIce]

I can write either way. The only problem I have is that if I am horny than what I'm writing will usually make it worse so then I have to stop writing to sort that out

 

[123Josh]

I haven't written much lately, but yes it's a requirement!!

 

[HeyAll]

No. I approach writing an erotic story as if it's actual work. I think critically about it and what's the next logical step.

But I do need to think that the actual concept is arousing. That's the motivator for me.

 

[Stella_Omega]

Yes, I have to be a bit horny-- but not so horny that i just jill off and do no writing.

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

Usually the horniness motivates me to write. Watched a woman play an organ yesterday, she's your standard American woman: fat, hair cut with grass clippers, blonde hair-black roots, dress from Home Shopping Channel, too much makeup. My kinda gal. And she's now part of a story.

 

[NoJo]

Oh yes, I have to be horny to write an erotic story -- and I have to be not horny to write a non-erotic story.

But most of all, I have to have an inviolable block of dedicated time to write a good story.
