[NoJo]

...is what Balzac reputedly would say after an orgasm.

Men seem to identify creative urges with sexual urges. It's definitely true of me. Is is true of you?

Uh... yeah.

When I'm in a writing funk... I'm also usually in a sexual funk.

Well, from the female corner, I can tell you that writing smut is definitely tied to sex.

I seem to identify the urge to write with breathing.... maybe it's just me.

 

[Softouch911]

Ummm, I've written for far longer than I've had sex.

Also, far more frequently.

But yeah, tied tightly to libido. And not just smut writing.

Aside from the vicarious sexual experience of writing a fuck scene, I just don't see the connection between libido and creativity: "I didn't get laid, so I think I'll write a book." It reminds me of the old theory about bodily humours and animal spirits and vital principles, like if you beat off too much you'll be weak and unmanly.

Besides, what's so creative about sex anyhow? You mean because we're making babies? That's usually the last thing I want. I don't feel sex as a creative urge. I feel it as a need to get laid.

Writing is definitely a want, a need, a desire…but I can't say it's sexual. Sometimes it is, but usually when in I write the ache is a little higher, nearer my solar plexus. I suppose that makes sense to me; the third chakra, Manipura (located in the solar plexus), is all about self-definition and ego and so it my writing.

Oh, I KNEW you were weird -- but eating celery in bed cinches it!

I'm tempted to suggest it might be your posture when you write, but I won't. I won't.

With me, I get a sort of "Spring Fever" that makes me need to write (actually right now I'm playing my piano more than writing). It feels very similar to the antsy feeling I get when I walk through the park on a hot Summer's day and see all the girls soaking up the sun.

I have excellent posture, thank you very much and I just put the chakra in there to impress you.

For me, the feeling is an anxious feeling. It's a ball of hope and shame and fear and happiness that I can feel in my solar plexus. I've always thought that was where my soul lives.

 

[LadyJeanne]

For me, writing porn is related to sexual desire, or rather, to men. Men are my muse; if I want one, have had one, am writing for one, am thinking about one, then I have the creative spark to write porn. If there is no man on my mind, I don't write porn.

My other writing has nothing to do with sexual desire and doesn't make me feel desire or even sexy. It's more about releasing the thoughts in my head rather than about feelings in my body.

I don't care whether it's true or not - I'm stealing that phrase.

Or if you really must, play with Zoot's.

 

[angelicminx]

Actually, no. I write because my brain runs at a hundred miles an hour and won't shut off until I do. Writing does seem to affect my sex life though, the more I have in my head the less I think about sex. Weird, huh?

I really think it would good for me to see you bearing your soul, Yui.

 

[carsonshepherd]

That's not celery, I'm just happy to see you.

The salt came from the crackers I ate in bed.

There went a mouthful of coffee.

Say goodnight, Joe.

 

[shereads]

That's not celery, I'm just happy to see you.

And there went the milk.

No, but you might get tedonitis....

 

[yui]

I tried to take a picture of my soul for you, but my shirt kept falling down and getting in the way. I took a picture of my toes instead, if you're interested.

 

[NoJo]

I'm not a phalangologist, but I had to measure the relative lengths of the toes, which required enlarging the picture by sixteen times, till it filled the monitor. I don't remember much after that. Something about a woodpecker, or maybe that was a different night.

I think this is true. And its not just writing.

I used to play sport at a high level. Try playing competitve sport well after a glorious fuck.

I am a scentist - try thinking erudite thoughts after an awesome orgasm!

Try lying on your back and falling asleep, with a warm body next to you and her scent in your nostrils. Sexual satiation is good for that.

Yui,

Damn your sexy little toes and smoking hot eyes. They are way TOO tantalising for me.

[carsonshepherd]

Awwww Yui has cute toes.

 

[NoJo]

Awwww Yui has cute toes.

You would know. I don't why I keep saying that. Sorry.
