How to get back into writing smut?

[Eutopia]

My ability, desire and muse to write have pretty much died now that I'm in a healthy sexual relationship.

I used to right because I was horny 24/7 and what I wrote got me off something wicked but now that I'm getting it on the daily I don't have the same desire. I don't need to be pleased. I used to write fervently while getting as moist as a daffodil in spring, but now I got nothing. I still have so many ideas for my stories, and I feel I owe it to those that have read them. I have one small series (if you can call two chapters that) that are a very 'unique' idea that I haven't seen done in an erotic setting before (It's a bit of a niche fetish) and I feel like I owe it to the story, and the readers, to finish it.

But I'm just too damn sexually satisfied to write porn.


What do you guys do to continue on? What works for you? If you're in a sexual relationship, how do you keep on?whats your drive to write?

Use the writing as foreplay. Or make it a game, set a word count, have your partner play with you as you write but you can't participate until you finish your word count.

Maybe you could try writing something other than smut? No sense forcing it. That can lead to a terrible story.

Honestly, you don't owe readers anything, especially on a free site.

If you enjoy writing (smut or otherwise), then you'll make room for it in your life. I don't know that I'm evolved enough to say that I write entirely for the joy of it, but that's a big part of why I do it. I like it. Of course, if no one ever read what I wrote, I might not be too motivated to continue...but that's a different topic.

Write when the feeling moves you, or it will feel like a job you don't want to be doing, and it will show in your work. If the feeling doesn't come to you, that should tell you something.

This is a great idea, but sadly I don't think it would work for me!

I right short stories very frequently, but I agree 100% on the not forcing it issue. Sadly just trying to find something that might kick the habit again is difficult. I really loved my time writing porn and it was something I found very fulfilling and would enjoy having it in my life again.

Wise words. I mentioned above I'd love it back in my life, as I found it fulfilling in a way that sex or standard writing is not. I think this is definitely something I can overcome and return back to writing better than before. It's just trying to get there that's the issue. (as it always is.)

Thank you for all the kind responses, everyone. 'v '

I have exactly the same problem. I haven't written anything for a few months now. Given the choice, I'll take the real life sex over the fantasy sex.
