Do your own stories turn you on?

[fifty5]

So, after too much rum, I wanted off...

Looked at the latest stories and none of them did it for me.

I ended up re-reading one of my own... and got off...

Not that it was necessarily well written, but the scenario turned me on.


Who else gets off on their own stories?

 

[togitc]

I don't consider a story good enough until I desperately need to get off while writing it; which, is one of the reasons I've been so lax on posting new stuff.

Short answer, I do.

 

[Stella_Omega]

Me-- I'm such a pushover for myself.

Honestly, I can't imagine writing erotica unless it excites me, although I know people here who do... I can't imagine writing anything unless the material excites me.

 

[sxcascinn]

I write for me... if it works for you too then thats just a bonus.

 

[Trombonus]

The way I see it, if I can't get off on my own story that plays on my own fantasies, than no one else will either and it's probably not worth me submitting. So yeah, they do tend to turn me on.

Indeed.

I have a story that I wrote about two years ago. It needs me to go through it for a good editing. But everytime I drag it out, I end up leaving it for my toys. Yes, it turns me on!

I think maybe an impossible challenge for a writer would be write something that turned them off for the sole purpose of turning somebody else on. And actually succeeding in turning that person(s) on.

I figger if a story turns me on plottin' it out in my mind, and again when I'm writin' it--then it has to ring someone else's bell.

It's worked pretty well so far.

 

[wanderwonder]

I don't, which I know is strange, and which is why it so surprises me when other people do. I wouldn't post if I weren't proud of what I wrote, but I don't become uncontrollably aroused while writing or re-reading them. I'm a weirdie, I guess.

Thanks for the replies, folks, and now I've slept, I'll ask the question I really meant.

I didn't mean while the idea is fresh and you are bringing it to life, but after it's old and dead and published...

Do you ever get off from re-reading old stories you've published on Lit (or elsewhere)?

I find my stories erotic *before* I write them, tedious during and just after I write them, when I read them back after a few weeks' break I always find them erotic again....

Well, unless it's one I've written to challenge myself and doesn;t actually cater to my tastes particularly.

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

I never have THAT experience writing erotica. I'm satisfied when my readers have intense responses to what I write.

 

[CorsetLvr]

I admit I sometimes have to take a break from writing because I'm turned on. Like someone else said earlier, the process can be tedious. I try to get through a sex scene in one sitting while my mind is focused.

My stories aren't fantasies so much as they are snap shots from my memory that I compile into the form of a story, like a sort of collage. Some of these memories can be pretty hot.

You know how chili is better the second day after it's made? I find I like most of my stories better when I go back & reread them after a few days/weeks.

I think your "impossible" is too harsh. I have written stories for specific fetish groups. The stories seem to work for them but leave me cold.

My "difficult" challenge remains South Indian Women's hairy and sweaty armpits. Apparently they are very erotic - but I can't finish a story including them and make it convincing. And I have no desire whatever for South Indian Women's hairy, sweaty armpits. I can easily imagine a scenario where I find one particular South Indian Woman desirable, but just her hairy sweaty armpits? No.

Here is a codicil to this thread concept:

Did you notice that often when reading an erotic story, the closer the story gets to the 'good parts', the poorer the spelling, the longer the sentences, the longer the paragraphs?

I imagine the author typing with one hand as he tries to get his readers and himself off at the same time.

I've always found that to be an amusing sidebar of the erotic genre.

Most of them, yes-- and what's funny is that the characters might stop being sexy to me-- but the action stays hot. I'm terribly fickle. My characters hate me for it.

 

[TE999]

I seldom reread my stories unless I'm writing sequels or the next chapter to one.

When and if I do, I keep finding things I would have done differently (especially the overused and exaggerated "I'm cummmiiinnnngg!: *sigh*) and outright errors; and they act like speed bumps on a race track.

Soooo...There they are and I'm moving on.

But the sex scenes are still hawt.

 

[Guest]

oh yes...i reedit a lot

Else... why write?

 

[ungenderless]

Sometimes I'll go back and just be all wide-eyed, like "Whoa! Did I actually write that?!"

Yes, I'm pretty reserved in real life.

 

[neonlyte]

Yes..

 

[Chantilyvamp]

yes they do, even more so now

 

[Guest]

Yes..

Can we compare notes?

Your stories turn me on.
