Advice on writing erotica

125 replies

NCJustWondering · 07/02/2015 14:11

NC, obviously. I fancy having a go at writing erotica on kindle but want some advice from readers. I've downloaded a lot as research (ahem) - mainly short stories, mainly free - and have noticed that most of them included acts which (IMO) were mainly for male pleasure.

If you enjoy reading erotica, do you get turned on by reading something that is for the pleasure of the man involved or do you prefer to read only stories about the woman being on the receiving end (so to speak!)?

Just a quick and obvious example - are you happy to read about men receiving oral sex or would you prefer to read about women receiving it?

Also, if you are reading that kind of story, do you think it should always end in penetrative sex? Would you feel short-changed if it didn't, but if the woman was satisfied?

I am writing for a female market and am personally a bit sick of reading about women getting turned on primarily by doing things to men.

Thanks.

He bent down and licked her minge, using his tongue like a horse eating an apple.

Well dont stop there....

"Minge" is such a fine word though. Although in that particular sentence I'd have been inclined to say "He knelt down and chomped on her minge, using his tongue like a hungry horse greedily polishing off an apple".

Not that I'm going to be getting the hang of erotica any time soon.

I hear dino-porn is quite a turn on these days. Maybe your main character could transform into a diplodocus and do something with his long neck and tail?

DirtyBlonde · 07/02/2015 19:46

It would have to be with neck/tail. Because no-one knows for sure whether dinosaurs had penises, and given the ever-strengthening theory that they were most closely related to birds it seems likely they had cloaca.

AnneofCheese · 07/02/2015 19:49

There is a Jurassic Park Erotic Fan Fiction website (why do I always google). Seems like velociraptors are the best shags.

BigRedBall · 07/02/2015 19:57

Hmmm, cloaca...that sounds sexy! Use it OP!

Velociraptors sound like they'd be quite selfish lovers. A quickie in and out and over. Then off to hunt and eat a stegosaurus and then sleep.

Wizard, I read that as 'hot dripping nose' for some reason. Thought you'd really stepped over the line of decency for a moment there.

Flu sex, now that has potential.

So magnified and so keen were her feelings that her inner nerves could even feel the bumps, the ridges, the pimples, the few stray hairs along the shaft of his male rod.

So he had genital warts then.

wrong thread, sorry Sad

JohnFarleysRuskin · 07/02/2015 20:47

I used to write erotica. Cock and pussy/Fanny are the best but ten times in a page is soo boring. You need variation. I tried them all. Even 'vadge' yes, with a 'd'.

I wasn't allowed to write sex with animals (er not that I wanted to) so I think dinosaurs would have been a huge no- no.

Tumescence. Just no.

Are we auditioning dinosaurs? I'm seeing Eric Idle supervising the queue: "Velociraptors at the back, then Diplodocuses. We've got enough Stegosauruses, you can all go home..." and then John Cleese exclaiming "What's wrong with a little KISS?" Grin

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 07/02/2015 21:05

Tumescence, isnt that the word that Kat gave the guidance counsellor in 10 things I hate about you because the counsellor was writing a steamy novel.

JohnFarleysRuskin · 07/02/2015 21:08

The tumescent diplodocus-

Barney doesn't seem to be working much nowadays. If you're looking for a leading man. dont mention purple helmets dont mention purple helmets

JohnFarleysRuskin · 07/02/2015 21:11

Cocole! I was just about to suggest him!

Minus the helmet references.

I have to say op if you still there, I think dinosaurs are too niche.
Aliens are always popular?

BigRedBall · 07/02/2015 21:13

Or a dino gang bang:

Harrietty and her bucket full of dinosaurs.
