What a great discussion.

I tend to agree with the original post, but have to say that sometimes, it's hard to avoid a cliche here and there where the characters "ride the wave of orgasm". The minor ones that aren't too goofy aren't that bad. I mean, c'mon, it's sex, and there may be a million ways to describe it, but most of them have been used by us all. I try to avoid major cliches, but I admit, I sometimes throw one in there without even thinking.

I do get annoyed by the cookie cutter descriptions. Why are the women always tan, blonde 34DD's? It's THAT cliche that has made it so that most of my characters are either brunettes or redheads. The guys are always well hung too.

A comment on the well hung guy cliche, though. I generally don't describe the penis or its size indepthly. I think that is a given in a story, and I leave it up to the reader's imagination because the way I see it, everyone likes 'em different. Breasts I work in there cause the male reader is more visually stimulated, so to speak, and it never goes into the story until they are given character attention.

I do hate the goofy euphamisms, though. Love hole, tube steak, and poop chute are best left to the sixth graders.

Anyhow, fun thread. I got a good giggle out of this one.

Sometimes, well-paced cliche is better than over-imaginative sentence or two, I find. Well, when I'm writing, anyway.

That, I'm trying to avoid. I'm not aiming for Playboy, Hustler and alike. Not that I won't write for them if they are paying good money for writers to write about some Barby doll stories.

Having said above, I'm all about porn.

Yet, there is a distinct possibility that sixth graders are among our audiences

Exactly

I like that. A well paced cliche. You hit it on the nose with that description. It's not impossible to avoid, but sometimes, if you throw it in there and word it in a way that isn't overly trite or overdone, it flows.

I meant well-placed, obviously.
