Would it be erotica(smut) without the sex? Or do you mean sex outside of the plot? I would think the desire for each other would be the plot and thus would be sex. The desire for each other seems to lean towards a plot driven story, but that's just how my mind works, I write like a romance writer.OK, I am working on a new story about a woman CEO and her personal assistant. The plot involves both desiring the other. There's an amount of plot setting before anything sexual takes place. Here's the question, should the plot include sex scenes, or should the sex scenes drive the plot?
In porn, many times it seems there is little if any plot. I think that a believable story needs plot, character development, and sex as the "natural" outcome. What sayest thou, ye more learned and experienced than I?
Interesting premiseThe plot involves both desiring the other
This 100%I'm gonna go with my usual suggestion:
CHARACTER should drive the story.
Whether you're writing a plot heavy story with some sex, or a sex heavy story with an outrageous plot, or not plot at all, if your characters are boring, so is your story.
Character becomes even more important in stories with less plot, because there's only so many ways to write a sex scene and keep it interesting.
And again, if I don't care about your characters, why should I care whether they fuck? No matter how hot you write the scene, I can just go watch porn instead if all I wanna do is get off.
I have several stories on here with dozens of characters and "teasing" erotic content at best. (They are all in Novels/Novellas)I'm facing an issue that my new story may be lackluster in sex because we're gonna cycle through a lot of characters that people will not have time to get attached to. Heck, it might seem more prudent to post this elsewhere since there's barely enough sex in it to call it erotic. But it counts.
But, on the subject, people LIKE plot. Even when they say they don't, sex feels so much better when it has significance, when you know who is fucking who and why. Even a paper-thin plot is often good enough to show why the sex happens.
Exactly. Decide what approach you want to take and do it well.Either way can work.
That's cuz you're a guy.For sex scenes, I'll take Pornhub every time over written depictions of sex, no matter how well-written.
Yeah, I guess -- not really into words and stuffThat's cuz you're a guy.
Oh, i'm sure there is merit for many. For me, it does nothing for me. Porn videos too, without any plot do nothing for me.I disagree. Check out
Making a case for pure/simple erotica.
Sex is not always the 'natural' outcome. It is often contrived to fit the story (non consent, bdsm fetish and others.In porn, many times it seems there is little if any plot. I think that a believable story needs plot, character development, and sex as the "natural" outcome.

Who is Mary?Man loves wife, wife loves man, man is incapable of pleasing wife in bed. Man seeks out another man to fuck his wife. Now a cuckold man watches a stranger fuck his wife. The wife says how good it is, how much better at fucking the enormous cocked stranger fucks her, and how tiny her husband is.
The End
Typical LW writing (read Mary's work for proof)
Odd how a story can trigger a memory:Man loves wife, wife loves man, man is incapable of pleasing wife in bed. Man seeks out another man to fuck his wife. Now a cuckold man watches a stranger fuck his wife. The wife says how good it is, how much better at fucking the enormous cocked stranger fucks her, and how tiny her husband is.

I think you need to separate the two, and see what's really important to the story you want to tell.Without plot and characters you might as well just watch porn and save the effort of reading.
She doesn't post in LW often and her votes, for the type of story, aren't that bad. But she does get the occasional burst from a flamethrower directed her way.Who is Mary?
And yep proves my point. That simple plot is gonna get a sound 2 in the score box and a few hundred flames in the comment box.
Yes, I do.Her handle is @theWollstonecraftWoman
