I have never and would never write erotic stories involving underage children having sex, scat or something with extreme violence. I had a phone sex caller ask me if I would do a sex call with him involving a baby getting chopped up. I refused the call and wouldn't write anything of the sort.
Good for you. That was one sick puppy.
I would never write about pain or extremes such as , beastiality, little children etc. It is not what I am about therefore I would have difficulty putting my characters through all of it.
There is always a little of me in each of the erotic adventures. Erotica, sensuality, trust of your partner in fulfillment. In order to write erotica you (I) must have the abilitly to feel the desire building and cresting.
Those are the things that drive my body, heart and soul.
I guess the bottom line is I don't have to do something in order to write about it. Fantasy and reality are the delicious difference.
Lets see, I would never write about a personal experiance un;ess the other person involved actually asked me to. I would never write about children in a sexual situation because it's sick, not erotic at all, and illeagle. Snuff is equally sick and I could not understand why anyone wuld want to read it. For myself, scat, golden showers, extreme humilation, trully violent non consent are all off of the table simply because it doesn't interest me.
Boy bands and little girl beauty pageants, both creep me out.

Money can't buy the soul...hopefully. No father daughter . Until you have a daughter you can't truly appreciate that, and no snuff. When you have seen that in person (not meaning in a "Seven" context, but death in general). it ain't funny, or hot. And the antithesis of lush.
There are many things I wouldn't DO - certainly nothing involving children or violence, but I happen to believe that exploring subjects in fiction - especially those that are repressed - is healthy. I do not believe that writing about anything in any way promotes or condones it. On the other hand, shining light into dark places seems always beneficial.
I can't think of anything I wouldn't write about if I had the proper incentive to spend my time on it.
I am very good at separating fake from real, and I am whole heartedly(sp?) against censorship and limiting free speech, so I would have no problems (that I can predict) writing about any subject.
However, I would have to find some way to justify spending my time on it in the first place (such as subjects that don't interest me).

I got really bored writing about regular sex and experimented with some stories no one else was writing in my writing group. I did one on and it was more humorous than erotic and everyone seemed to like it. I also did one on snuff/necrophila and one on golden showers. I wrote an story for Lush and I'm sorry I did now as I think the site already has an overabundance of stories. Good novels deal with all the subjects not allowed in here and I personally don't like restrictions on what I can write as it just makes me want to write it. My stories are all fiction, though; I really don't want to read about people's personal experiences.
Well I'd place the discussion in the larger context, outside of just lush. If you aspire to be a writer you should be able to write about pretty much anything, no matter how unpleasant the subject matter might be.
Insert typical super smart ass comment courtesy of thepainter here.
I have four hard limits: Scat. Children. Death. Animals.
Beyond that, I'll play with all sorts of boundries, even ones I'm not especially comfortable with just to test myself.
My motto is never say never. Right now, I can't see myself writing about bodily excretement of any kind, violence, animals, and very young children. I have two stories that I will post at a later date, that were written on request. I think you can see a difference in those stories, because my heart wasn't really all there.
And just because I don't write about a certain subject, doesn't mean I won't read it. If it's well-written, and I can stomach the subject matter, I will read it. That's the wonderful thing about freedom and creativity. Write what you wish, it's my option not to read it.
This is fiction for the most part, though I know some story ideas come from real life experiences. Some sites like this one have restrictions to subject matter and others don't. That lets authors have plenty of outlets for their creativity. I don't believe authors should be restricted in what they truely want to write about. That doesn't mean everyone has to like it or even read it. That freedom just needs to be there. I have accepted the restrictions on this site and I am happy to stay within them. I have however written stories that could never be published here.
I once wrote a story that had violent themes, and when i reread it, it scared the shit out of me that I could even think of these things.
Sex between normal married people. Bor-ing!!
Boring romantic sex! ugh!
In the mid 80's, The National Lampoon did a page-for-page parody of Penthouse magazine. Penthouse, was a skin magazine known for its much celebrated Forum section of "true letters" written and sent in by readers. In the parody, under the Forum section was the short but revealing letter: I fuck potatoes. -- name and location withheld. I remember laughing for years about this satirical reproach to porn and erotica. It about sums up my experience which is; almost anything can be erotic (or ) if the right person is reading or writing it.
