At least once a day, usually at night.
Often twice a day, second time is either in the morning, or after browsing Lush.
I've picked up writing erotica only recently, last time I did it was when I was a young horny teen writing sexy stories on loose sheets of papers to pass them to friends.
I stopped because I realized that I didn't know much about actual sex and that my stories felt like they were written by a virginal teenager (because they were). Cue to 5 years later, I'm back writing smut, I'm a better writer, but the rest didn't change. I have no sexual experience, and I often feel complexed, as a writer, about the erotic scenes in my stories. Since I have never experienced anything other than my hand and a few accessories, it's always odd for me to describe intercourse. I'm either just guessing or referring myself to the large amount of erotica I've consumed along the years. I'm perfectly able to write about what turns me on... but describing sex? For now I think so far so good, but I'm always afraid I'll eventually write something wrong or inaccurate and take the readers out of my story.
I wonder if anyone feels similarly? For the experienced authors out there, do you feel like your writing has improved exponentially in relation to the quality/variety of your sexual experiences, or does it have barely any effect on your writing? I want to know if my worries are justified or not.
And for any unexperienced authors out there... do you feel the same way?
Me and my sis absolutely love Little Shop of Horrors, so we use the quotes from time to time in our daily lives.
"Feed me Seymour, feed me all night long..." is a popular one at the dinner table.
"Downtown, Down on Skid Row" is sung whenever we spot a new street sign with the word "Downtown" on it.
We like the copy the sound of Audrey II drinking Seymour's blood too, the little "*fwip* *fwip* *fwip* *fwip*" smooching sounds.
And for some reason one of us always gets the "Da-Doo" melody stuck in their heads, so when one hums it the other hums along.
Oh, and there's also random quotes that we simply think are funny:
"I don't knoooooow"
"For a dollar ninety-five"
"He's a dentist and he'll never ever be any good."
Out of all the sites I have found to publish my erotica, I've found Lush simply has the best people. I like the community here, they make my heart go ba-thump ba-thump. Who knew erotica authors/readers were so wholesome?
