How high do you want to read about a sex scene? I am writing a story I'm extremely happy with but I'm afraid I'll lose readers quickly. There is no sex yet and the story is long enough to be a like a prologue. It's based off a real relationship I have with someone and how I felt instantly connected to him, so the hottest my story gets so far is how just a brush from his leg can send electric bolts through her body. I know there is a sister site to Lush but once my story gets to the sex I know it will belong here! So is it a problem if the sex or even oral doesn't come until part two?

My first question is... how long is 'long'?
Do you need to break it into two parts? All of my stories are routinely in the 8,500-10,000 word range on this site. I think you're more likely to lose readers if you don't have a strong sex scene somewhere in the first chapter of the story unless you are an exceptional writer. How long will your overall story be? More than 10,000 words? If it's shorter than that, then I'd post the whole thing as a single story.
All of my stories have plot and character development before the sex scenes. If you can hold the readers attention with your writing and storyline while you're doing the initial 'teasing' and 'slow burning flirtation' between the characters, then most will be happy to stay with the story for the big "climax" scene. Or the impatient ones can always skip ahead, but at least you have it contained in a single story rather than leaving readers on the hook at the end of chapter one being disgruntled because there wasn't any sex.
To my understanding though, if you consider posting it in the "love stories" section, then sex isn't even required, so you can always work with it that way if the category fits.

If there's good tension and chemistry between the two people involved, it keeps my interest regardless of whether there's a sex scene to follow. I like the anticipation and the build up. It lets me get to know the characters and understand why they're together.

Thank you so much! I will most likely be putting it into the love stories, so far it's maybe 1,500 to 2,500 words. There will definitely be oral sex for sure and I want to take this story into a series. Your advice really helped! Thank you thank you thank you!

You're very welcome Danielle! Good luck with the story! Sounds like a good one if you're taking this kind of time to strategize and plan how to make it the best it can be. I always find that stories written about people in your life that you have that real connection with tend to have an added level of natural intensity, so I'm sure that it will be great.
I put it in where ever I can. LMFAO! Okay, I couldn't resist.Really a tough question, and the answer depends on several things, but mainly where does it fit into the flow. Yes I usually have sex in the middle, but I have also had it in the beginning, the end, and even throughout.

Thanks so much! This story is the one I'm taking the most time with but it is the easiest to write, it flows out of me and I never have to stop and think about what I'm writing. I'm hoping that this first story will be good enough to turn into a series. Which by the way I am in love with yours! You are such a great writer and it was a honor to get advice from you!

Thank you I think the sex in my story will be towards the end, but lots in the middle to tease readers with. I hope lol.
