Where do you get inspiration? From other writers, or music, or art work, photography, or... something else?

I will occasionally have an interesting erotic dream that I'll draw inspiration from! Or I'll just let my mind wander during those favourite moments of realizing you're awake but not quite ready to get out of bed yet. As well, I tend to draw on sexual fantasies to lull myself to sleep... Somehow much of my inspiration comes from moments spent in bed, now that I think about it.
Otherwise, I find initial ideas or triggers for a storyline through conversations with other writers and I'll let things evolve in my mind when I reflect back on them.

Books and movies help inspire me when I'm lost for words.
Also, as Dancing_Doll mentioned, if I'm stuck in the middle of a story, I'll often go to bed and sleep on it. I come up with some of my best ideas that way.

My long ass commute...if I don't have a book ...I leave my mp3 player on and I start creating storylines and characters in my head
I do the same thing, but when I walk. Anything can inspire me, I am working on my second short story for my class/workshop and have spend days thinking about structure, point, plot and characters. When I am done thinking I will go to work. I hope to have something for Lush by the end of summer.

a serious answer. i have an over active mind when it comes to sexual fantasies as well as a lot of interesting sexual experiences to draw from. That is the simple truth. Yes, when i am writing, i use music to inspire the writing, or perhaps a picture, if i find something that fits the scene, but mostly it's pulled from my dirty little brain and god, you can't believe the amount of stories locked in there still waiting to come out - it just depends upon my mood as to which stories make it to print and in what order. 
as far as writer's block, i simply just stop writing until it passes. i never try to force my writing, knowing that it will simply breed resentment towards my muse. i just simply stop, be it for an hour, a day, a week, or longer. when i need to write again, i simply sit down and do it. also, sometime it helps to switch things up - if i am burnt out on erotica, i'll write in my journal, or do some non erotic fiction... and the poems i publish here mostly come out of those moments when i don't feel like writing stories.

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

My inspiration centers around one man that I have been literally captivated by. I have intense sexual fantasies about him daily and never get tired of them. When writer's block comes, I step away from the stories (not the fantasies), until I can find the words to write again. The positive is that I love thinking and writing stories about him. The "negative", is that he's the only subject that I want to write sexual stories about.

Inspirat from ion comes from dreams, music, or even conversations that I have had from my friends. I don't really suffer from writers block. I just know sometimes when a good story is ready to be penned!
"Writing M/M turns me on..."
My main sexual interests are (I leave you to guess), Domination (of myself by a female), Reluctance (a five year struggle before she finally gave in), Older Woman (I was 17, she 41, and it lasted for years) and Interracial (mainly Hindu and Arab) since I have experience in all these. Being able to call on actual past experiences (I should have been locked up in my teens!) is the most useful of all tools, particularly the ability to recall conversations or responses.
I was very close to my sister if you know what I mean, and my daughter is always very open about what is happening at her college, which often suggests a story to me.
I have always had the greatest respect for call-girls, (it is a trade like any other and one to which which many young men need to resort in a dreadful repressive society) and engaged in conversations with them. This has been a very useful way of obtaining information and confessions from women about sexual matters which are otherwise hard to come by.
I never write about sex in a lurid manner since I find that any evident effort to spice up the narrative is counter-productive and tends to make the material unreadable.

I write about variations on things I've ACTUALLY done or things I WISHED I'd done when I thought about it afterward... Some of the genres I write in are absolutely fantastical in my actual head and mindset, yet I enjoy letting my imagination explore situations I could never consider in real life... In that way, my writing is an opportunity to explore fantasy in fiction that I really can't explore in real life... And wouldn't want to, in truth...
But I like having a forum for exploring those ideas, and I'm THRILLED when other enthusiasts appreciate the work and say kind things....

Honest answer? I do not know.
Answer I think is neat... I sit infront of my computer and the words just appear on the screen. Which is sortof true. Last week I woke up to find my body curled around my lap top and the active document was a combination of a new romantic story and a grocery packing list for when I got to Canada in July of 2011. If you are thinking of, "He slid his hand over the swell of her firm hot pot seasonings hot and tradition" you get the idea. But I would love to know where they come from!!!

Living life and enjoying life are two different things... just need to figure out how to do both at the same time to live it right!

A long-ass commute, overhearing someone's conversation on the train on my way somewhere. I pull out a pen and a notebook to jot down some ideas. If not, I wait until I get home and start otlining/planning my story beofre taking to the laptop.
