Orgasms! Orgasms! Orgasms!

[JanusGoneAwry]

Hello, fellow Literoticians.

So the question up for your kind and thoughtful consideration is:

How many orgasms are too many in an average (2 to 3 Lit-page) length story?

I'd like to hear your thoughts about both Male and Female O's

Just to set the stage I believe the answer "However many the author chooses." is a fine one but I'm seriously interested what you think about stories that always have the female and/or male character cumming two or three times in course of one, albeit protracted, sexual encounter.

Additionally, I think that is an equal opportunity question in that it relates to F-F and M-M sexual situations as well.

I think It's sexier when they are trying to fight off an orgasm...and lose.

It depends on the particulars of the story, but in general I'd say the optimal number of orgasms in a short story is one.

If your story is making a point about a character achieving orgasm, then the dramatic and erotic impact of the orgasm will be heightened if there's just one, and if that orgasm happens near the end of the story.

Once the first orgasm has happened, the second is less special. Anything that happens after the first orgasm will not be quite as erotic.

3 to 1 is a good ratio...

Interesting question... I would say 2-3 for the woman and 1 for the man in a short story how much time does he really have?

If it were f/f then 2/2 I guess.

Then for m/m one each..

 

[JanusGoneAwry]

Agreed but...

I think It's sexier when they are trying to fight off an orgasm...and lose.

I totally get that and in some of the genres that is sexy as hell, but in stories of mutual consent other than the male character wanting to last as long as possible (Stud Syndrome) isn't cumming one of the goals of the sex?

Not the only goal or perhaps not even the main goal but one of them wouldn't you say?

I'm with you. I do believe Simon has a point in that each successive one can be seen through the lens of ok been there and done that what else do ya got? (My words not his). I also think that if written properly they can be seen as precursors to an orgasm that builds based on continued intensity and the actual circumstances. Think, a guy goes down on a girl and using his tongue, lips, and teeth along with fingers or a toy gets her off, then they move on the coitus. It seems reasonable that she could be in a heightened state of arousal and able to achieve a second orgasm that wouldn't take away from the story.

But then again I'm just a hack... :caning:

Scaerltt said what I was thinking. That said, depending on the "recovery time" available the male could have 2 given the needed "stimulation/encouragement" of the other...there's nothing wrong with writing about "let's try again", etc.

ETA: The length of the story doesn't necessarily correlate to the time available: It surprised Jane that after just the two hours they spent driving home, John seemed very eager to hold her and touch her in that way that implied something more...

In fact it could be days of time over the few pages...if multiple sex scenes are an important part of the story. Good question, I've read some very unrealistic scenes.

Ah, refractory time! How much reality is demanded, and are pharmaceuticals involved? Without drugs, two 18-to-21-year-old men taking turns spit-roasting a woman, blown back to stiffness after inseminating her, could conceivably each cum 2-to-3 times in an hour, with the last fucks taking quite a while -- to the great satisfaction of the woman.

That's excellent information...I'll just jot that down; look in medicine cabinet for any extra pharmaceuticals and then find some 18-21 year old men...perfect

ETA: strike the pharmaceuticals, found some old sleeping tablets ! Planning a visit to the local university campus this afternoon for other needed items ... you're a good friend Hypoxia, I can see my life changing for the better already! confused: Is the spit-roasted women a hard ingredient?)

Thanks for that feedback. I totally get the time relevance thing. I was using the 2 Lit pages kind of as a shorthand for a one scene setting but that is totally arbitrary. I am in the same camp as you and Scarlett but as I was reviewing a piece prior to submission I noticed that my female characters cumm on average twice per story so while it felt natural to me given the pulse of the story I thought that I would seek some input.

My barometer has always been to put myself in the scene and see if it felt natural or at least reasonable. I write mostly vanilla M-F stuff with some rough edges and roll play mixed in so the "You don't cum until I tell you to" and the "No, no, I won't let this bastard make me cum" aren't in my bag of tricks...yet

I suspect that substitutions are allowed.

This is true.

I also like the build up and reading about the motivations for two people having sex, too. Few people go into great detail of why.

Stories that center on inserting Tab A into slot B, later, instant gratification. They were still horny; kept fucking for awhile - all day as a matter of fact. Hmmm... some people like that, but for me: next story, please.

[ElectricBlue]

The OP's question seems to assume one story equals one linear sexual encounter, and the answers so far generally assume that, too.

My latest story sequence is tease and taste, where he wants her but she's playing with him, and then there's the girl who plays with them both; so he doesn't come at all in the first five thousand words, the women come several times each. But, it's written over a lengthy period of time, over multiple scenes, and it's in EB world, so everything takes forever, anyway.

The answer, surely, is, "it depends on the story, it depends on the encounter," and the notion of A Standardised Rule or Guidance for Writers is ridiculous.

Having said that, the majority of my women are sensibly multi-orgasmic, but need lots of foreplay; my male lead, if he's lucky, might get to come twice in an encounter but usually (realistically, these days) just the once. Unless he's written as a twenty year old, when it was twice in the morning, twice at night.

Depends where you take the story. I think you can build from the first.

*************************

My thinking about numbers is 2-3 depending on the scene. If the guy gets a chance to recharge certainly 3 for the woman and two for the guy isn't unrealistic.

I guess I could share that my first wife was multi-orgasmic and could easily cum 4-6 times in a session (to my 1).

I should have demanded that twat in the asset division, but you know judges now-a-days.

Bingo. fiction and, specifically, erotica are not limited as some folks here are trying to do. And there is no answer to the "What is best/what do readers like?" question no matter how many times in how many ways that is asked here and how much a writer wishes there would be. There is no universal Literotica reader. The readers at Literotica have reading interests and "likes" broader than is or can be written here. Just write what moves you (for the trillioneth time). There's an audience for just about anything you can get posted to Literotica.

 

[Zeb_Carter]

All of the above...

But mostly depends on the age of the two or three or four or more individuals.

The older the man, the less orgasms they can have in a session. The younger the man the more powerful and more often his ejaculation he can orgasm in a session.

I have found as I got older I could have two orgasms in an hour, until my second heart attack. Now it takes... well let's just say too long.

Women I have been with, the younger they are the more they want to have multiple orgasms. I know one young lady, she's 23 can have 5-6 an evening.

My wife on the other hand can only have one every month or so. But when we were young, she was multi-orgasmic. 4 or 5 before I even go inside her. Then at least two more after penetration.

I'm 69 and my wife is 70. We have had orgasms together for 46 years.

A short story and a single session aren't the same things,

Didn't say they were, but if you look for reality in a story... I know reality and that's what I include in my writing. Although there are those out there that think what I write is bullshit, but of course there is some of that in there as everything on this site is really bullshit... or in other words fiction.

Hello, fellow Literoticians.

Totally dependent on the story, as others have noted. I have written individual chapters than span several years in time.

I am in favor of them.

I like to see authors get away from routine in whatever regard, but it's their story to write, not mine.

I'm in complete agreement with you on those points. Personally, I'm very interested in the dynamics between my actors. I write wearing the skins of my characters and I aspire to transcribe their experiences, in particular, the interpersonal ones to the page.

I appreciate your feedback and enjoy the healthy discussion that's grown from my question.

 

[JanusGoneAwry]

My stories have all be rather narrow in scope and span but I hope to expand my horizons and write more varied pieces as I mature in the craft.

Phew! I'm glad you put that one to bed

like to see authors get away from routine in whatever regard, but it's their story to write, not mine.

Amen, that's a focus area of mine going forward.

Thank you for your input.

Thanks for chiming in. I'm also a realist to the degree one can be writing about sexual escapades in a fictional construct. I want my scenes to feel real and I want the reader to be able to relate to the characters and also to the sexual activities that they are participating in. At this time I don't write about sex in space or sex with furries or other such fantasies, which I personally think are very cool, so in my vanilla M-F / M-F-F world there are realities that make the story or break it IMHO.

2 or 3 orgasms between friends apparently aren't one of them.

Two questions: 1) How much do you charge for obtaining your reasearch services and 2) Am I required to include you in my sources section for using the data above.

Seriously though, thanks!

Many of my stories do exactly that, build from the first, so thanks for that feedback.

BTW I live in the Washington DC suburbs and I know a guy who can fix that twat problem for you.. Oh but wait Canada eh? Probably a nonstarter there.

The OP was about a short story length. Your response was about stamina for a single sex session--and that's pretty much how others were taking it. They aren't the same things.
