does anyone write first person opposite sex?

[qqnforyou6]

I am writing my first story called "tick tock" as a first person female. Does anyone else write like this?

 

[PennLady]

I have done. I wrote "King's Bay" in first person and the narrator was a guy. It seemed to go over well. I also wrote "Lessons Learned" in first person and although the narrator was a woman, she was gay and I am not. So it's certainly possible to write as a person who is very different from you.

Usually I write in third person, as first is neither my favorite to read or write, but in those instances, that worked best for the story. And I'd do it again.

I write both male and female first person, although the only stuff I've posted here so far is female.

I'm newish here, but ...

I have written both genders and multiple sexual orientations in first person. I usually prefer to write third person non-omniscient, but first person stretches me. I enjoy getting into the heads of my characters sometimes. But, first person stories prompt interesting reactions:

Comments on my stories indicate wide ranging opinions about my gender and sexual orientation. I attempted the "Loving Wives" category ill prepared. I have been called a "... a husband hating lesbo, I hope you stay single and don't have kids ..." and worse.

At the time of this writing, there are 7 times as many votes and 10 times and many comments on my only Loving Wives story as any other I have written. I'm new to Loving Wives and tried to write using the same tropes I see in highly rated stories from the category. I clearly struck a nerve.

I have. There are times when it provides greater impact.

 

[astuffedshirt_perv]

Yeah, both genders in first person and third person. The only one that I won't do is second person. In fact, I have a hot story that I just can't decide if it is first person or third, and so I am not writing it.

 

[RuzieD]

Yes. My stories have been first person opposite gender. It worked out well if the comments and scores are anything to go by.

I've only written one first-person female story (on Lit I mean), but I've written several third person omniscient where the protagonist was female. They've mostly gone over pretty well, too.

Someone recently posted on this in another thread and I wish I could remember who and which one. Some of the advice was to remember that men and women do think differently, do approach things differently, so don't make your character a man with a woman's name and body, and vice versa. I'll try to look for that.

However, men and women can both be good, bad, mean, ambitious, kind, etc.

 

[Cruel2BKind]

I only have one story from a female perspective...

So yah.

 

[ScouriesWorld]

may I suggest the following story by my boss. It is now generally conceded to be the greatest story on LITEROTICA and now has over 40,000 votes, 1000 comments and nearly 4,000,000 views.

Excellent advice, but easier said than done. After all, no one really knows for sure exactly how the other sex's perspective differs from one's own. Ultimately it's got to be an educated guess.

Something like that, and there are people of both genders that embody characteristics usually attributed to the other, certainly. There are alpha women and beta men, so to speak. But I think it's true that *in general* women and men think differently and approach situations differently and it's something to keep in mind when writing.

The farther I get into writing this story of the opposite sex the more cumfortable it is beginning. For those of you interested Tick TockChapter 2 should post onfriday or Saturday at the latest.

I write opposite sex stories quite often. I just finished a 7 chapter story. The one thing I will say is that I like a female editor to look at it to make sure I'm not too far off the mark.

Some women say 'Men don't know how they think', but not all women think alike either. I have had a number of comments asking if I was a male or female. It's fun to write in opposite sex.

i too enjoy writing from different perspectives. its a lot of fun... for me, its a bit like looking at the same turn-ons from different angles.

Yes, both physical genders encompass a wide range of behaviours and characteristics. In some cases, however, women think very much like men and men think very much like women. Humanity covers such a broad scope and, in many cases, across genders and orientations there is a great deal of overlap. Think of a feminine woman who enjoys a good, physical hockey game, or a masculine man who enjoys reading poetry. People rarely perfectly fit stereotypes. Sometimes I find it just as hard to get inside a male character's head as it is to figure out my female character's drives and wants.

I recently posted a story, www.literotica.com/s/showing-pink-the-sequel, written in the first person from a woman's POV. And Sam is definitely not short for Samantha.

 

[lovecraft68]

All my stuff is 1st person except for my Circle novels.

I write both female/male depending on which way the "bunny" strikes me.

If my initial thought is seeing the tale from the woman's eyes that's the way I write it

I haven't....quite frankly, I never thought of it....but it surely does sound very intriguing....WOW....consider the possibilities

 

[Nightwork1]

I've written from a female's perspective in one of my stories here on Literotica and am working on a second one now. I've had fun with both of them (one published here under the title 'Three Days') though I wouldn't want to write all of my stories from that perspective. The idea for Three Days came from over-hearing conversations my wife has with her friends on the phone (no I'm not eaves-dropping; she talks loud and we have thin walls). The inspiration for the second one came from listening to a couple of College girls who were sitting in the booth behind me in a restaurant complaining about having to clean-up after sex (okay, that time I was eavesdropping!) Once I started writing these stories there were some things I needed to fact-check with my wife or other females just so I could be factual while still entertaining.

 

[Chiara23]

yup

i have, as a first person male narrative, it seemed to go ok

 

[PAUL C]

I do.

I have been told I write better as a woman.
