Best sex-scene on Literotica

I don't mind you parading your biology knowledge at my expense. It was never my best subject, although I've had a hobbyist interest in wildlife, especially birds and insects, for a long time.
I wanted to be a marine biologist at one point. Thought it meant swimming with dolphins mostly 😊.

There are many less cetaceans in Structural Biology 😬.

Studied most of my biology behind the bike sheds.
 
Tentacles mostly bring back bad memories of A-level Biology for me. The syllabus included way too much anatomical drawing of specimens, most of which had been in their formaldehyde pots for over 25 years and tended to be missing bits, so you kept having to swap the one you were copying.
 
Back to something more nearly related to the OP, what do ya'll think makes a sex scene great? I'm just looking for one-person opinions, not "rules," so there are likely to be as many different answers as there are respondents.

For my part, I often skip the sex scenes when I'm reading. Getting me to read one is a feat -- unless I've somehow committed to the author that I will read it. The setup is important to me, and if there's a "flow" to the story, then I might just get swept up in it.

Thanks for the redirect.

It is striking that experiences so extraordinary, in all ways, as arousal and sensual pleasure, are difficult to capture well in words.

Many attempts, here and in mainstream literature, end up in the 'boring' category, with rote descriptions and a curious disassociation with cognition. I am impressed most by those who bring their character(s) to life through their sexual connections. Doesn't need to be poetic (although I would rather that than routine) but requires a balance of authenticity and perception.

One of the dangers, as with all description of sense events (I am thinking of wine writing here) is what has sometimes been called the 'prismatic luminescence' style of description. But I still prefer even that stab at imagination rather than the 'training manual' or 'lab notes' approach.
 
Hard to choose a specific one at the moment.

In general, my favorite sex scenes tend to be ones where I've become attached / invested in the characters involved, so that I am now vicariously experiencing their passion, love and / or lust.

I absolutely agree and as such (as no-one has picked any yet) all these scenes are dependent on the build-up in the story and the chapters before.

1. Love is like a blue shell part 5 - final game (GS)
2. Sable Island. Two women. First experience. (Novels & Novellas)
3. The Big Swing. The game. Throughout. (GS)
4. Against all odds/what are the odds? The foursome at the end of WATO (GS)
5. Poly at the Poly part 7 - Twister (GS)

I can’t believe it took 34 replies to get an actual response. Truly I am awesome.

I like scenes that further the broader story in some way. Looking back at my own stories, what I tend to remember about the sex scenes is not so much the physical action as the story/relationship milestones: this is the scene where T and K stop treating one another as rivals and start working together to protect the person they both care about, these scenes mark the shift from a vulnerable/protector dynamic to a more equal relationship between two adults, this scene marks A's learning to set boundaries even if it hurts somebody else's feelings.
 
I think for me it was ElAbogado's amazing, intense slow burn in College Sports Clinic Encounter. Apart from the early plot setup, that whole story is basically one long dark seduction, and every word is pure fire. When she finally gives in and her boyfriend calls her, it's one of the hottest moments of any erotica I've read, on this site or elsewhere.

A very close runner-up would be from any number of TheShadowRising's stories. They're wildly over the top, which I love, and so very finely detailed and lengthy. You might even call them girthy. My favorites are his Sophie series - just take your pick, because they're all hot.

What else? The climactic scene in Leon22's Back to School: Ski Trip is a smoking hot orgy scene done right, shuffling characters in a fast but readable way. I'm sure I'll think of more.

Thank you for that. I’ll have a look at the ski trip.
