Does your writing turn you on?

[ElectricBlue]

I need to be in a certain mindset to really get revved, and if I let that slip in when I'm writing, that becomes the main driver of the writing and that's not helpful to me at all.

More opposites! It's when I let my arousal/horniness creep in that my writing goes to the next level, and my sex scenes start smoking. I have to edit hard in the morning to correct typos and doubled up words, that type of thing, but I try to keep the rawness, raw.

All this waffle about crafting perfect sentences, finding the exact word, it's bollocks. Our job as erotica writers is to turn readers on, help them get off. They don't care about the fancy literary shit, they just want us to get on with it, give them the fuck sexy woman, the hard horny man. Pile on the intimacy, that's a bonus!
