I have been reading a few erotic stories recently, mostly written by men.
When they eventually get to the sex, usually with a lot of scene setting,
the guy is masterful and manages to give the woman an amazing orgasm.
This is so unrealistic. I find that while orgasms do happen in casual relationships,
it is definitely not the usual. This kind of male fantasy makes their books
unrealistic and disappointing.
I try in my own books to reflect more of the usual experiences that we women
have with casual partners.
Your personal taste is your personal taste. Certainly can't fault you for that. Since you're writing the type of stories that meet your bar for suspension of disbelief, you're serving others who share that taste. That's the way to go about it, so kudos!
There are a lot of people who want that unbelievable, world-shattering orgasm fantasy, though. Other writers like myself are serving that market.
I suspect I am a bit more 'street' than most writers. Probably cos I was brought on a housing estate in Glasgow. Stories, of course, are fantasies but I like to keep closer to reality when I write about sex, drawing on my experiences.
Sure, there are all sorts of styles and genres in erotica. There's room for everyone.
Wouldn't you rather have a nice cup of tea?
Erotica tends to be fantasy. I guess you could write a story about having shit sex, but that doesn't tend to be a thing people fantasize about. That said, there are a few (okay many) descriptions of casual hook-ups that are just ludicrous:
"Hi, I know we've only just met, and I don't even know your name (though I've somehow figured out your bra size), but would you mind having rough anal sex with me?"
Don't believe everything that you read.
If all stories had to be 100% absolutely realistic, whole genres would disappear. Fantasy is the soul of fiction, even so-called "real world" stories.
I am a beginner, but enough women friends have told me this. I tried to establish an emotional connection first in my stories for this reason. I would be interested in other ideas to make them appeal to women.
pretty sure i don't want to read erotic stories about bad sex, thank you very much. lol
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
Some people have an awesome sex life. They meet very sexually open people who have and give great sex, and yes, their chances of orgasm are greater.
A lot of people fantasize about having a sex life like that.
Stories about bad sex are duds, and not only don't attract readers, but turn them off. Stories about great sex attract multitudes of readers and they love them.
I've known a lot of women who are secure enough with themselves to give and demand great sex. A great lover won't let her man quit until she gets her orgasm, too.
I try to write my stories with the element of erotic fantasy. Even the true stories I write with the hope that it draws the reader into the scene to put them right there where it's all taking place. I also get my wife's opinion on how the story flows so that it's not only from a man's point of view. It seems to work as I've had many votes and comments from male and female readers that have had fantasy orgasms reading my stories.
