Wow. I guess that title really shows I need help, fuck.
How can I improve at writing erotica?
While it may seem weird to some I have really come to enjoy writing very short stories about sex. Usually between me and a girl I know from work or college, or from when I was in HS. Or celebs.
It’s fun and they can be very thrilling to write. I believe any writing is practice to be a better writer.
However I’m hitting snags. There are only so many words or adjectives to describe human body parts, styles of fucking, sounds, etc.
It can get repetitive easily. How do I make my stories more titillating, but also more soundly written with better grammar abd story structure? More steamy and boner or sploosh inducing. It’s hard to turn people on thru text.
Ultimate goal is I want to write a pr0n film but with a damn good plot.
Lookng for rips, also any links to specific stories that are A++

Grammar and spelling are important. Ask a friend or two to proofread your story after you think it’s all done. It is impossible to edit your own work….think about it…because you wrote it, it’ll be more difficult for you to find the errors.
One thing I’ve noticed with most posts here is that by the 3rd paragraph, or at least each person’s introduction, you must include at least two sentences of solid stat blocks including bra size (range from C to DD), penis length and girth (adjusted by the standard 2.5 inches / 6 cm (make sure to describe as ‘slightly above average’)), height, build (range from ‘slim’ to ‘athletic’), wisdom, strength, dexterity, etc.
It’s usually my cue to skip down a few lines, but maybe it’s in the rules somewhere that all stories have to be written like that.
So — don’t worry about adjectives, euphemisms, metaphors, puns, etc. Sort stories by Top and All Time and look at those top stories. What do they have in common? Build up, anticipation, sometimes an element of the forbidden.
They don’t hit 500 words and apologize for the length of the story. Brevity doesn’t appear to be a virtue, they tell the whole story. Just skipping to the good parts doesn’t help. What’s the context of the situation? Why are you attracted to this person, and them to you? What’s kept things from happening before, if this isn’t your first meeting? The why and who are more important than the what and how.
I’m also not sure if every story will need detailed manuever descriptions; unless it’s something that got missed by the last six thousand years of fuck manuals just the basics can cover the action.
Well, this is a sub for real stories. I think actually having lived them defnitely helps. You don’t have to come up with a “plot” or lay out a sequence of events. You just tell the story like it happened.
That being said, everyone’s style is different, but I think it’s safe to say that we all focus on what we enjoyed most. Some people love the dirty talk, so there’s a lot of dialogue. Some like the reality, or surreal reality maybe, so they focus on how the neighbors could hear or how they’re batting way out of their league. For me, it’s the emotions, the feelings that I feel during sex. Find whatever it is that you actually like about sex and focus on that, write your story through the lens of that factor.
As for repeating… get a thesaurus, man. Every time I feel like I’ve repeated a word, I just look up a different word.
Edit: oh, and if you haven’t really developed a style or voice, read a story that you like before you write one. It helps.
