Does your writing turn you on?

[FannieSpanker]

Yes, I read them over and over. God, I’m a perverted slut.

Aren't we all?

 

[FannieSpanker]

During the writing process, no. That's very clinical and even if I'm describing something wildly arousing, I'm focused on sentence structure and grammar and punctuation, and it sort of kills the mood.
But the editing process ... oh yes.

I definitely get "libiditudinously distracted" while editing, just the same. And when I'm really getting down to the nitty gritty of composing sentences and paragraphs, I'm not as easily turned on.

But because of my habit of spontaneously switching to editing mode *in the middle of a writing session*, I end up getting turned on anyways...

 

[Randemtask]

I do so love perverted sluts

Don't we all....xxx

 

[FannieSpanker]

Yes, the sexy parts turn me on, the funny parts make me laugh, the sad parts make me cry. More so in reading back during editing than during initial writing.

oh GOD does my writing make me cry sometimes. some of my worst weeping has been caused by some absurdly melodramatic tragedy I concocted in a fit of maniacal cruelty.

 

[FannieSpanker]

Don't we all....xxx

hey you stole my comment !

oh wait the first word is different, carry on

 

[FannieSpanker]

Absolutely yes! I'll go one step further and say that during the creation part (not the editing), I want to stay turned on. To the point that I have declined my wife's offer to provide me some relief. I want that pent up sexual tension to, hopefully, make the scenes enjoyable and not flat. I know I only have one story on here right now but I used to write more a long time ago.

I think that's called sublimation!

 

[FannieSpanker]

Oh yes, absolutely.

I tried writing in public once, got a wet spot in my trousers.
Not doing that again (aside from jotting down a single idea before the little bastard gets away from me).

oh my god before the same thing happened to me MULTIPLE times before I got bottom surgery. I had to be careful about what I wrote in public. but now I can write the horniest nastiest most perverted bullshit I want and not have to worry about that happening anymore

 

[FannieSpanker]

I certainly get turned on while writing the vast majority of my work. I suppose it's only natural.

We're trying to imagine a sex scene in our heads and visualize it enough to translate the mental images into words. We're literally making ourselves focus on sex and what turns us on.

I do get it with those who say they're too focused on the words to feel the impact of the sexual fantasy theyre focused on. But I just know for me the arousal reaction is pretty much standard unless I've taken care of things before settling in to write.

and I've found that "taking care of things before settling in to write" affects my writing for the worse

I suffer terribly because I leak a lot. I often have a wet patch.

 

[FannieSpanker]

Yes. One of my objectives with writing was to write things I would like to read. At the same time, catching mistakes that I missed can be a mood killer.

oh typos =major boner killers

have you tried latex undies? it doubles as kinkwear!

 

[Writer61]

Oh for sure, youre just building up a head of steam and ready to pop, when all of a sudden you stumble across what I call the Autocorrect Surprise :


"... he slipped his rock into her hot, wet pudding..."

I can't see that happening anywhere other than in a kitchen.

 

[FannieSpanker]

WHO KEEPS BRINGING ROCKS FROM OUTSIDE INTO THE KITCHEN!!!!!!

 

[Writer61]

WHO KEEPS BRINGING ROCKS FROM OUTSIDE INTO THE KITCHEN!!!!!!

Yes, but where else do you find wet puddings?

 

[IWroteThis]

For me, what I'm writing doesn't tend to change how horny I am, but how horny I am changes which WiP I focus on.

 

[AG31]

When I am writing, I always put myself in the situation inside my head, I get so into the story that I am always turned on and definitely unable to write in public. I'm just wondering if this is common with other authors?

Definitely, although, being female, I could probably manage on my laptop in public. But being turned on is the essential driver of my writing. I record fantasies.

 

[Stanfield2025]

Mhm apparently because the scene is me cheating with my bfs dad, then me falling asleep, waking when my bf gets home late from work and he makes love with me and im feeling guilty but omg tje thrill too. I basically 'forget' to inform him his dad is dried on my skin lol. And i shouldve made my bf aware so he could consent or not. But whatever its all fantasy anyway x its more about emotional dynamics

I don't remember that in the guidelines at all.

If I had a laptop covering my lap I could probably get away with it I think that if i didnt get turned on I would've got bored of writing by now. I do wish that my fantasies would have come true, but in my real world experience I have often found that reality doesn't always live up to the fantasy.

Does your writing turn you on?​

It sort of depends.

On the assumption that you mean a sex scene, it is a factor of the rest of the story. If it’s a couple finally finding each other after mishaps and misunderstandings, I’m more likely going to be sniffling. If the story is more about the sex, then if I’m not excited myself, no one else will be.

But I can also get into a sort of lyrical trance with some sex scenes, especially if they carry emotional weight. When I’m like that, I’m much more focused on the words than the copulation.

 

[Erozetta]

My "turned on" usually causes writing.

 

[MichelleNeeds]

I don't remember that in the guidelines at all.

"non-consent fantasies in which the “victim” receives no thrill or enjoyment from the acts" are not allowed. So i have to rewrite that my bf in the story is aware and enjoys that I'm cheating.

How about on the assumption that it's a scene that doesn't fit neatly into any conventional definition of a "sex scene", but which involves intimacy intense enough to arouse?

 

[AnonymousInternetExplorer]

Yes absolutely. It's a bit bad because sometimes I'll be writing and turn myself on in really bad spots even if I'm writing non-erotica cuz my mind begins to race.

Additionally, my writing becomes even better when I'm aroused. So sometimes I'll only ever write stories when I'm turned on and I actually find the writing improves

Like…?

 

[DEFCOM5]

I only write stories that turns me on or I used to fantasized about. Once the fantasy is written, I stop thinking about it. I think about other stories.

The writing part never leads to a need to relieve myself. Too much focused on the writing and I am never the MMC. May be if I could shave 20 or 30 years
