Looking for advice on moving the narrative along in BDSM erotica. What do you like -- plenty of storytelling between sex scenes? Getting to sex scenes right away? Or my personal favorite, lots of sex and the sooner the better? I'd like to know what you think.

For me any erotica and especially BDSM is about the story, about what's going on in characters' minds. Technically, BDSM story can easily do without sex at all, at least if by sex you mean penetration and/or orgasm by at least one of the characters.

I personally have to be invested in one or more of the characters involved or I don't care, so things like story arches, personality, motives, values, etc, all build a good character. But if you look at some of the most 'Hot' stories, they're straight to the point. There is virtually no world outside of the sex/kink/fetish being written about.
You have to ask yourself why you're writing a story, like why are you being creative? And don't even answer it out loud, answer it personally, to yourself. Then when you have that true, you'll know what to write. It's either going to be exactly what you want, or exactly what will get you what you want. And there's no wrong answer IMO.
