Frakking Story Endings

[CharleyH]

Imagine wearing a chastity belt for 5 years - 5 YEARS! What do you want at the end of those five years? PAY OFF BIG TIME. Well, the season ender for BSG (Battlestar Galactica) fizzled to little more than pre-cum or wetness. But I digress.

When we write any story we hope people get the big pay off. In video porn, the pay off is that someone, usually male, gets off. In erotic writing, the pay off is less clear. Characters get off in the story, but is that the end of the story? Is the end of an erotic story always ejaculation or is there more?

Opinions?

Did you just compare BSG to wearing a chastity best?

Is the end of an erotic story always ejaculation or is there more?

Is the end of sex always ejaculation or is there more?

Of coooooourse there is more. All kinds of more. If nothing else, more sex. Or a frickin' cigarette.

Indeed I did. Thoughts?

Seems like every damn porn story I've ever written turns into a series-- I want to know what happens next.

Oh, so it's all your fault? Is that where I caught it? Sheesh!

And what about the end, is there a pay off?

 

[voluptuary_manque]

And what about the end, is there a pay off?

No, you just take a rest, possibly smoke a cigarette if inclined . . . and do it again!

 

[Stella_Omega]

And what about the end, is there a pay off?

No, I'm not that good at plotting.

 

[harrlequin]

The payoff is the resolution of the plot. *grin* Now in most cases, that's the orgasm. But there are a lot of writers here in the AH who have an actual plot, aside from the action.

I got your payoff right here!

Very astute observation.

Sex is the interlude, plot is what keeps readers' attention.

Presuming a reader who appreciates writing, that is.

 

[gauchecritic]

and if you can bring the orgasm and the plot to the same conclusion then everybody wins.

I like this author's endings:

Every story is a little morality play. Plus, she's got three green Es out of seven stories.

When I'm reading, I want to be moved, emotionally. Or entertained with cleverness and humor. (Ideally, all of those elements.) Sex scenes don't move me. It's what happens before and after that makes me keep thinking about a story long after I've read it. Well, I suppose some sex scenes move me, but it's the emotional component that trips my trigger, not the mechanics of the act.

I sometimes want to do that - and my readers ask me to.
But damn it if I want to return to the scene of the crime.
For some reason, I just find it more motivating to think up something completely different...

Well, sometimes I can continue the story, sometimes I can wrap one story into another and sometimes I get the feeling that all I would do is spoil things.
