I often start with a general idea and most of the time, it goes different ways.
That is an interesting question. It is a difficult one for me to answer. I was poor for years and did not like it at all. Not that I am rich now. If not making much money meant I had enough in my pocket to live somewhere decent, secure a modest future, and help others in need, write in my niche, which would be erotica lol. I have not desire to be super rich but I don't want to be super poor. If it is hand to mouth wondering if I am eating top ramen next week, I am writing best selling pulp smut.
In terms of a "goal" for my writing I post here, it is multi-faceted. It is a big stress reliever for me to write what I do. I just love the FF and FFM genre (not FMF genre). I do enjoy people enjoying my writing. I really appreciate when a woman messages me that I really was on point in my writing or it really did arouse her or that my take on the feelings and emotions were right on. Being a man writing FF and what I am going for in the FFM genre, it is risky as I am trying to dial in on what a woman may be thinking, feeling, and experiencing. I am not trying to write something in FF and FFM that is "just" porn, which is easy for a man to slip into when those topics are written about.
I think it has significantly. However, my sexual experiences are not all first hand. A lover of mine had a short, hot, intense, highly sexual relationship with another women and she had a lot of strong, detailed fantasies regarding FF and FFM integrated with some BDSM. We explored many of these fantasies in conversation, in writing, and watching videos together and sharing thoughts. The conversations, when we weren't actually having sex lol, included a lot about what she was feeling and thinking, which probably helped my writing more than the actual sexual exploration (although that helped a lot too).
I am 53 and would probably go down to upper 30's. There are always exceptions though.
Not another man but certain women, yes!
My wife is very busty, 36E, and my favorite thing is pretty simple. A busty woman in a pair of jean in a t-shirt or tank top, braless. When she would do that, I would be insatiable for 2 or 3 days.
Before coming here, my most recent favorite FF vid.
I was looking for inspiration for my writing and an outlet for my fantasies. I love FF and FFM (not FMF), occasionally with a smattering of BDSM, and this appears to be a great place to inspire my writing and provide that outlet for my fantasies. The key for me was the FF stories that are written by women on this site.
