Yes, two Japanese women when I was there in holiday few years ago. I have a big crush for Japanese women, so I looked for opportunities. There was a third one that could have happened, but bad timing made that she wasn't available that night and I was leaving for Tokyo, I was in Osaka, the day after.

This was such a turn-on, so exited, loved the experience. Fortunately, both spoke a little bit of English, making communication easier. If it wouldn't be for &$"&* COVID, I would probably plan another trip there for the summer.
@utterchaos, I'm putting the final touches to my revised submission, I'll most likely resend for review this week.

@seeker4, Yes, Chinese and Japanese are two very different languages than what we use in the west. Although, I find Japanese relatively easy to speak, it's writing I'm utterly clueless.

@RejectReality, that's true, I didn't thought of adding the meaning later on. I will keep that in mind, I'm sure I can find a crunchy way to have it revealed to the main character.

@WannabeWordsmith, I love the title of your story, it made me laugh, I'll have to read it.

Other than maybe a common phrase or motto, I can't see myself using a foreign language in my writing. Not good enough at any. Even my French, which I took from Grade 6 to Grade 13 (Ontario had 5 years of high school back then) and classical Latin, which I studied at the undergrad level, are pretty rusty. My story The French Guest has a main character who is French and I think I only used one or two words of the language.


Yeah, know the feeling. I'm learning Japanese for my job and I decided to add a little bit for a Japanese character... Did I say I love Japan culture? Anyway, I'm getting my phrases checked by my teacher to make sure I don't screw up.

Also the fact I'm writing in my second language, French being my mother tongue. PM me if you need to check on something in French, will be my pleasure to help.
GF: So much, so erotic
Stranger: Maybe, depend who.
Man: Maybe, depend who.

All and all, I would do it if the other also does it and I find them sexy.

Yes 1 & 3, although I have the fantasy to do all 7.

Alcohol for sure. I stopped drinking for a year after I made a fool of myself. Best decision ever! I would do it again, any time.
Thanks all for your opinions on the subject. I'll keep it, for the very few times I'll use it. I like to add a light touch of local authenticity, I've researched the cultures my characters are coming from, to find some expressions I can use in special occasions.

if it's a word or two, it's ok, but any more than that, we prefer you to put into English for the readers. smile


No problem, it's a small phrase in Japanese, few words. The character speaks English and the specific phrase I have in mind is the only one that will not be explained. The few other instances where there will be few other Japanese words would be put in context by the character, for the reader's understanding.

Let me know if you would prefer I rework that bit. Thanks Sprite.

I don’t think you have to include a translation. However, if there are certain actions, behaviors, and situations you want your reader to understand about the non-English speaker, then describing those specific instances in English would go a long way towards suggesting what’s being spoken.

If you just want to write a complete erotic story in a non-English language, another site that I won’t mention here will allow you to do that.

At any rate, Google Translate and other modern translation sites are a thing now, so I wouldn’t worry too much. Just do what you think is best.


Thank you Caramel_Infidel for your suggestions, this helps.
Hi everyone,

I was wondering if there is a guideline around the use of foreign language in stories? I'm not asking about writing in another language, but embedding few phrases to complement the story. The purpose is to create a sort of mystery around a character, allowing her to say things that nobody else understand.

At the same time, I'm still undecided if I should include the translation in the text. On one hand it allows the reader to understand, but it also creates that same mystery for the reader, not just for the other characters. How do you handle those kind of situations?

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

new to the site as a member, been reading sex stories for many many years and decided to go into writing in January of 2021. Being locked down alone is not easy, so I'm using that time to try new things, including writing. And... I have written something to say the least.

I love the Sci-Fi genre, so I decided to go there as my first subject. I started writing, not knowing if something would come out, not even thinking something interesting would be put on the electronic paper. I made a rudimentary plan of the story I wanted to write something in five or six chapter, explore few things, trying to see if it would work... I finished with thirty two chapters and 207k words "book", in a month. I'm flabbergasted that I wrote that much, I'm still not sure if what I've made is any good, but I think it's okay, haven't showed it to anyone yet. Anyway, I've decided to post it here, one chapter at a time. The first chapter is in review, hoping the story moderators are not banging too much their heads at my story. I actually just received an email about it, as I was writing this, will see how I do.

Without going into too much detail, my first story is about a young man fulfilling his dream of going to space. He has been hired to serve on the ship PSS Lady of the Stars as their computer specialist. Not only he will realize his dream, he will find more than he ever dreamed of.

Anyway, a little bit about me, man, beginning of my thirties, single as you could infer. As also said, I'm a huge fan of Sci-Fi, I've read most of the classics (Asimov, Clark, Card, Dick...) as well as the newest authors (Cline, Zieja, Wells, Scalzi, Chambers). One important thing, English is not my primary language, French is. So, I'm still lacking writing skills in English and most of all, vocabulary. Please bare with me as I learn writing in general and writing in English.

Anyway, that's pretty much it. Happy to be here, I like that there are resources to help us write. Once the first chapter is out, if any have any constructive comments, happy to hear them.

Thx
