Back when I was younger and had a huge sex drive, I would every time. But now that I'm older I'm not able to "do it" But what I do now is I get off mentally. Thinking and picturing the scenes happening in my head really turns me on.
Not when writing them, but often when reading them back later.
Most of my stories are based on events in my life, and bring back vivid memories, so they always arouse me when writing about them. I find if the story does not turn me on, then why should I expect it to turn on my readers. So, I try to write in a way to create vivid images in the readers' minds, to create arousal in them. As I write in a style that I enjoy, it turns me on, and it is very rare for me to get away without being aroused, especially when proof-reading it.
The only stories I have written are true ones and I do get turned on by reliving them.
If it doesn't get me all hot and bothered, I don't see how it's going to move the reader.
You are really on to something when your own work sparks an emotional response.
I can sense when writers are just throwing something out there versus feeling something and putting that feeling into what they write.
I find the aforementioned writings sort of boring and cliché.
Yes, my stories are based on true events so I get hot writing them and reading them afterward, if I don't, who else will.
The stories I write are either fantasies or based on real life events so yes I do get aroused by them.
Yes. I do get aroused when I read my own work some time later. Not always and surely not all of them. I've written in so many categories that actually don't turn me on at all. I've simply created the stories and I'm always gratified that they do arouse the audience they were intended for.
I find it interesting that my writing also brings out other emotions in me as well. I am sometimes moved to tears when reading some of my stories. And that is exactly the emotion I intended to bring out. That's also gratifying.
Absolutely. Not so much while writing them, but reading them, yes!
Oh, very much so. Both reading and writing.
Maybe 10 or so years ago I had a friend whom I traded drafts for editing. Her drafts contained "(!)" in a few places. I finally asked her what that was about. "Oh, that's where I had an orgasm while writing."
I tried it once but my draft was littered with them. Of course, I read my drafts a lot before I show them to anyone else....
Depends on the story. Some yes, others no.
Quite often as I write them, as well as reading the first completed draft. But after re-reading several times to edit and re-write, usually not so much.

Haha. Yep. That’s all I’m saying about that.

If they don't arouse me, why write them in the first place?
I'd say I was actually surprised that this wasn't the case for me. Conceiving a scene in my head certainly could be a turn-on but in the actual act of writing, I get a little too involved in the process to actually get turned on.
It's more common for me to feel "excitement", a sense of tension and energy when I get to these scenes, but it's largely non-sexual.
I will say one thing I've noticed is a tendency to mimic character expression and gesture when I get really involved in writing. Which promises to get a bit "interesting" as I try and tackle more ambitious scenes. I remember I used to do the same thing back when I had the time and opportunity to draw.
yes I do when writing them. Re-reading and editing is boring.

Herbert Spencer
Usually when I am writing it
When I am writing it, getting aroused lets me know my heart is in the work. Once I have it done though, my own work almost never stirs my blood that way. Others yes, but not my own.
If anyone has read my profile you know I have a brain injury, so when I am writing I have to write fast so I dont lose what I am thinking, so there fore I dont have time to get excited with my own work. When I am reading someone else’s work, I can take my time and get excited. I hope that makes sense.
Yes , that's why I started writing them, many are memories of past lovers.
Yes, when I write what I want
Yes, I do. I get aroused when I'm writing them as well. That's how I know it's doing to be a good story.
