Female characters - something bugging me...

[bungakawa2000]

Hello all!

Well, I just want to share thoughts on this matter...

In the vast majority of stories I have read, there is something bugging me: female characters being unidimensional.

Let me explain...

There are various ways to introduce sex in stories:

1) "I am a horny female and I want to have sex" = about 60% of stories

2) "I am a 'normal' female, I don't want to have sex at first and hesitate for a whole 2 lines before going at it!" = about 35% of stories

3) "I am a 'normal' female, I want/don't want to have sex at first. One way or the other, it takes some time for me to actually go at it" = about 5% of stories

As a result, to me, almost all female characters are the same, unidimensional: a character admittedly having no other purpose than to fuck/get fucked, or such a character faking for a whole 2 lines to be different.

Re-reading myself, I see I might sound bitter or aggresive. I am not. I am just interested to hear about people feeling the same way as I do (*crickets chipping*) and hear about people actually preferring these female characters I deem unidimensional.

Thanks!

women

Well here the thing is people like porn.. It is american as apple pie

But there are 3 dimminsinal chacter. Just got to know where to look. You wont find them in stories called Britney spears get ass fucked

the sci-fi section that deals with orginal chacter tend to have deep chacter, so deep I'm affraid to add to them out of fear of fucking things up

Also not a lot of women author here so that may have a lot to do with it.

Well, if it makes you feel better, the guys in most of the stories I've read are just a uni-dimensional. Heck, I'm willing to say 99% go in the category of horny and wanting to have sex right away.

I quite agree

Dear All.

I totaly agree. That is something im working on in my story. I am trying to create characters before they just start having wild sex. The sex is more important if there is build and feeling behind it. I am a female writter who has written the story from a guys point of few. So far its deepest thread is 6 and there has been no sex yet. I doesnt fit the build of story i want and lll reject posts i find inappropiate. (havnt had to yet). I like my characters and the women arent going to be cheap sluts (well maybe one but you'll have to look to find out who.) If you want to have a look the link is

being like minded people i feel confident in asking you to contribute knowing the threads would continue in a thought full manner in the style of this posting.

Thanks

It's a tricky balance to get right. Some of the best authors I know can inject personality into a character in just a paragraph or two.

Besides, doesn't this thread assume that after a character (female or otherwise) has had sex she can't be devolped further?

I agree that the eroticism is stronger if the characters involved actually have character. I'm also likely to stop reading a story if someone whines, bitches and moans (in the bad way) for too long - I'm Chyoo for escapism, not realism.
