In writing erotic fiction, does it help to write while turned on? Or is it better to wait until you've "cooled off", so to speak? Which leads to stronger prose?

Does it help to write while horny?
Active Ink Slinger
I'm always horny, and it helps to write while aroused. That gives me great juice for thinking about it.

I need to write when really horny as a few friends know.
I just need to complete the process as so many of my friends have done so successfully.

We'll. I usually start writing when not horney but as I start recalling an experience I always get turned on.
I have learned not a great idea to write when both horney and high.... Those stories always seem to get returned for rewrites. Lol

I will often write when I am horny, but what I've found is that I tend to be repetitive and my sentence structure et al goes to shit, however the typing will tend to flow when I'm turned on..
So, what I will do is write at that time, just get it typed out onto the page, then I'll leave it and come back at a later stage and edit it with a clearer head.. Try and mold it into something half decent - with varying degrees of success...
I did find it amusing, when I used to verify stories, that you could totally tell if the writer was turned on when they wrote their story - it would tend to get jumbled, repetitive, lots of mistakes at the saucy bits... It always made me smile, it was so obvious that the blood had left the big head and headed to the little head ;)

I can imagine - my stories are more...sedate, so it does help to have a clear head (no, not that one...although....)

I just start writing when I am in a sensual mood, and eventually I find myself almost living what I am writing - well imagining it strongly, and of course that make sme very horny so I then stop and com ebackto it, and the whole cycle goes on and on...damn..better stop writing now!

I worry that if I'm too turned on I will want to rush the scenario and just blaze ahead to the hot and heavy parts. I wonder if a slow burn might serve particular stories better.

I think that the key is to go back and reread them when you're "sober", so to speak

I'm typically not horny when I write. Maybe I should be. I don't know, you tell me.
I do notice though that I often hold my breath while writing the naughty bits. Sometimes I'll even act them out in a weird, heavy breathing one man show. But despite the theatrics, I'm always too stressed about the writing to get turned on.

My latest story is a racy little piece about what happens when someone cute from work invites you over to watch Netflix and Chill.

There's no 'one sige fits all' answer. What works for one writer might not for another. That said, Mazza's thoughts, especially the one about just getting the story written, then 'cooling off' and coming back later to polish the prose, are spot on.

I find it easier to come up with the fantasies when I'm horny, but putting the plot around them and writing them is easier when I've blown off some steam, so to speak. These days, finding it hard to get the opportunity either to write or to "blow off steam" hence my lack of recent output on Lush.

I think it's all to do with the level of horniness and it doesn't have to stay constant over the time of writing.
I tend to start off pretty straight headed, think up my basic plot and characters. I like to write stories that I enjoy and when I have written something that gets me going, then there should be a good chance that it would effect another reader the same way.
I tend to find my horniness increases as the story heats up, but after having to read over it again and again to check for mistakes and just the flow of the story it's ability to make me horny wears off. It's only after posting it and leaving it a few months and then going back and reading again that I get that same feeling of excitement as when I originally wrote it.

I think so, but make sure you go back and do all of your proofreading and editing when you aren't. If you start to become horny again, congratulations! You have written a hot story (for yourself, at least). Now take care of that and then resume editing before you submit it.
I like the way you think.
To answer the question, I tend not to be all that horny when an idea strikes. However, once I begin to write my hands get distracted and my temperature rises.
As lemanruss said above me though; editing and proofreading should be saved for when you're cold and not bothered.

I will give it a try,I see when i'm hory I start to imagine good ideas in my head.Just resit the need to masturbate and write,sounds easier said then done but I will give it a try.

Hmm, what's it like to 'not be horny'....? Not sure I am familiar with such a state ;)

I just recently started writing erotica. I've found the experience unlike anything I've experienced while completing other types of writing. There are layers of arousal when writing erotica, much like sex. I'd compare framing the story to foreplay and typing the words to a naughty oral tease. The sensation leaves me on the edge of an orgasm for days. It's almost better than Tantric sex! 
Do my stories leave you on the edge? 
If so, then I guess the "horny" factor helps when writing.

Those words absolutely have me on a cloud. No wonder I love everything you write. You, yourself, are addicting.cZNOiCPCm2pCLBjQ The incredibly enticing
way you write is like the ultimate carrot on the stick for me - nothing but gratitude and joy for your words. I would find it impossible to write if I wasn't aroused, at least for the initial inspiration to find its way into printed word. And like others here have said, a cold-loined edit.

This is soo true. But the stories are often damn hot!
In-House Sapiosexual
When I start writing I'm always really into the story line. The sex is just part of the story line, not always my focus. But, for some parts I need to be in that mood. I lose myself in the head of my characters. I'll get horny while I'm working on it, imagining it in my head as I transcribe the scene. Sometimes I'm "working" on it physically or mentally for days. My partner tends to enjoy that.sy72hUhrWZwPQIol He is always eager to help out anyway that he can. I do strongly recommend going back over whatever you have written in a fairly sedate state.

I don't know that it helps my writing, but I have noticed that I have more drive to write when I haven't "let off steam" recently.

I think it certainly helps when writing the sexual parts, especially when your story's based on past experiences it can help you get & feel in the zone & make it easier to describe what you're writing.. Needless to say if you're not horny when you start writing, you are by the time you're finished!!
Active Ink Slinger
Sometimes it helps, but when I get too excited, I start to lose interest in writing. I just want to relieve myself and completely neglect what I was doing. I should work on that.
