Does your writing turn you on?

[Dave88ITA]

Only wrote a couple of stories and got incredibly horny doing it... Also because part of those were real life events and unlocked certain memories...

I definitely write better when aroused, but it's a chicken/egg thing.

Does my own writing arouse me? Or do I choose to write because I am predisposed to be aroused?

That is my thing, too. I write because I'm aroused, not to arouse myself.

It just so happens that sometimes while writing the arousal grows and the writing becomes somewhat automatic, no thoughts behind it, just what I desperately need to get written.

I think, with me, it varies. Sometimes it's one way, sometimes the other.

I said earlier that I often get turned on by my dialogue, not my fuckscenes, and that's true: often, I'll be halfway through writing something flirty between two characters and I'll realize, huh, wait... there's something going on down there under the laptop... So it sort of sneaks up on me.

My thinking is that I'm more likely to focus on a decent bit o' flirty dialogue because my brain's already thinking ahead to what I know lies in store for the characters. My body just hasn't caught up quite yet.

 

[Bloodandglitter]

Yes almost always. Though sometimes I can lose concentration on writing sex scenes and it takes me longer to write out the scene.
I do love the dirty talk that comes along with my sex scenes. That's always fun to write.

The last one I did was full sex scene with MMC introspective view. But the thing that hit for me was the forced positive affirmations. (Can you sad cry while aroused? Oh yeah, and it feels good.)

Nice.

And you've got to believe that this sort of thing leaks into the narrative and gets noticed by the readers. How can it not?

Even if it doesn't, though, that's a fun and exciting writing session. Which is its own reward.
