What porn tropes can you not resist including in your writing?

[EmilyMiller]

For me the obvious one is female ejaculation. I’m normally the protagonist in my stories and - on paper at least - I give Adriana Chechik a run for her money. Real life is rather a different story. I include squirting as it mirrors male ejaculation and is just - IMO - rather sexy.

What things that are quotidian in porn, but seldom (if ever) happen in real life, do you allow into your writing?

I was thinking that the opposite applies to facials. I do include them sometimes, but most semen is delivered internally, even if orally. 98% of porn seems to finish with a facial. Much as I like cum splashing on my face (and it is obviously photogenic), I am yet to orgasm from this, whereas it seems to be the very pinnacle of female enjoyment in most vids.

I let go of the "12-inch penis" trope a while ago. I hang on to the "model beautiful" trope having been married to one for 36 years. I look at nudes of her when she was 40 that still take my breath away, and she remains eye candy in her 70s.

I guess another one I've abandoned is vocal orgasms by men. Reality is mostly grunting.

 

[Euphony]

Wetness being 1:1 to level of sexual excitement.

I'll probably write a May/December just to steam release my feelings on the matter but I don't have the necessary patience to pass on the reality.

I suppose I'm of the same mind with hardness and/or its consistency. Sometimes it feels insulting to the women in my stories (like they've existed as long as they have but have so little sexual knowledge)

I adore the sexual negotiations well-suited couples go through on their way to honest intimacy. Fantasy fans/escapists have visceral negative responses to even minor branching into these humanistic areas.

 

[NoTalentHack]

Romance and happy endings. It is SO hard for me to not leave things on a hopeful note, with the possibility that, as fucked as things are, the people involved find something good at the end.

Oh, and creampies. So many flooded wombs.

That is so sweet .

As opposed to condoms, or COF / COB, which seems more of a porn trope.

From a work in progress:

My pussy dripped. My heart beat faster.

Busted . Not exactly my finest prose either!

I understand the why, it's a shorthand readers/authors have agreed on.

It's not wholly unbelievable. It's just when it's immediate, first times, or completely attached to "the one true love-r," authors can get really excessively insane with it.

Writing incest makes my peace treaty with HEA endings nearly untenable. Even if a couple navigates through all the issues, we are barely who we end up being at that age (the 18-20 incest category preference)

I want to write more "it was the perfect relationship for us at the time, even with all it took to have it." Non-HEA, even respectful, is close to killing off characters for many.

And I like showing how even young, hormonal driven relationships can have profound lifelong positive effects. (so "Happy for now" compromise isn't all that appealing)

I recently wrote a piece about my boyfriend. I found it easier to be true to life regarding what physically happened in that context, than in retelling adventures from my checkered past.

[BiscuitHammer]

I dunno if it's a trope so much as a kink, but... tribadism/scissoring.

It's my personal fetish and fascination because as a straight man, it is the one sexual act I can do or even remotely adequately simulate.

The French romantics called it 'the kiss only women can share'.

Yes, it shows up in all my work where applicable.

As for tropes proper, well... probably RAAC. I'm not good about sad or unhappy endings, generally. One of my failures as a writer.

Interesting.
I know many get very detailed on more non-fiction retelling type stories, as if being incredibly accurate is needed to be respectful to events.

But your scenario seems both experienced so I wonder if your division is "a relationship worth respecting" and having less preciousness about those other relationships/instances.

I don't struggle to write incest as some due b/c my family experience sucked and they're dead.

I can imagine a very different set of feelings writing f*cking your Mom, Dad, Sis, Bro, etc. if you'll see them for Brunch on Sunday.

I tend to take non-fiction events, combine them and spin them into fiction.

Maybe. It was always sex for the sake of sex in my past. Now it’s different.

I’ve just rewritten my earlier stories to remove Incest themes, which I mostly included for shock value - I’m so shallow

I wouldn't frame it as failure (I think hipsters/similar equate suffering as a higher form of creative expression which is kind of ridiculous.)
just a skillset you've not had need to develop yet.

If you want to challenge yourself, go for it. If you aren't feeling it yet (or ever) doesn't make the hipsters right.

If writing incest and/or for pure shock is shallow, this place is drowning is shallow people.

 

[SimonDoom]

Squirting is one for me, too. I've only encountered it twice in real life, but I found it sort of mesmerizing and I enjoy including it in stories.

Other tropes/themes:

Extreme, outrageous exhibitionism.

I'm intrigued by a male/female pairing where the male is the voyeur/photographer/rigger/Dom/artist and the female is the exhibitionist/model/sub/muse, and this dynamic threads its way through many of my stories.

In general I gravitate toward happy endings, where my characters do crazy erotic things and get away with them and find them satisfying and affirming.

Orgasms are always achieved.

Pussies are wet and cocks are hard.

Moms and wives with hot, athletic bodies.

Great topic. I can't resist the bored, lonely wife, craving anal from big, hung, stud trope.

I write way too many virginity driving the incest plot.

I find the extreme tropes (brother outed as small dicked, save from gay, etc.) better just avoided but I probably bull through the china shop more than I'd like to believe.

It’s hard to avoid elements of what has been written before.
