I've never had a problem with it, but there are all kinds of phobias and conditioning that could apply. Some people faint or get nausea at the sight of blood. Others have conditions like germophobia or some form of OCD.
It might be possible for women to have orgasms in their sleep, not wake up, and not remember whatever they were dreaming when it happened. For all anyone knows, it could happen a lot. The only evidence would be wetness, unlike with guys who would have ejaculate. I guess a squeez-o-meter would have to be inserted to prove this theory, but that might void the experiment.
Nothing more than mild flirting, which is acceptable for both of us.
Some people are just prone to being dissatisfied, so when they view porn or read stories, they become prone to blaming their partner for the fact that their sex life doesn't match up with their ideal. They might even be tempted to go looking for better. But in general, people are realistic enough to understand that better is the enemy of good enough and that what they can learn from erotica is useful for helping them get to good enough.
No. I've even given my wife enemas prior to medical procedures and that has not mattered. She heard about unpleasant experiences that two or her friends had with inconsiderate guys, and she's a germophobe, and blah, blah, blah, it's a no-go zone. It's not worth leaving her over and it's not worth getting rough over. She likes a little rough, but she's not into as much pain as it would take to force that open and I'm not the kind of guy that would inflict that much pain.
My process varies a little because I like to experiment, but basically my stories often form when I'm not in a position to write. For example, I could be driving down the road and "writing" in my head. It can be anything from forming the plot to imagining the dialog. When the time comes, I type it into notepad with wordwrap on, because that adds no formatting. I write symbols into the text to let me know where to add formatting in the finished product. For example [ i ] for italics and [ b ] for bold. I write the title, tagline and tags at the top when I think of them.
I sometimes write the sex in with the story, but other times I write the story with placemarkers for sex scenes. I sometimes write a paragraph describing how the plot advances and then I get away from the keyboard for a while and that's when ideas for smoothing, expanding or otherwise improving the story happen. I often replace these paragraphs with dialog.
I reread and catch mistakes. Before I submit, I review the consistency of the character's dialog, and sometimes reread the story several times to find flow problems. Sometimes I do a manual find and replace on the most common mistakes, your and you're, there, their and they're, to make sure the correct word was used.
When I'm ready to submit, I turn wordwrap off and copy and paste the text into the submit form. I run through the story one more time because now I have a spellchecker from the browser and this is I remove the formatting placemarkers and add the formatting. I try to minimize editing here, but I invariably still find something I want to change. This last minute editing is where the majority of errors that I miss get injected. I skim through the preview, looking mainly for formatting anomalies, and then I place my baby in the hands of whichever verifier snags it from the queue.
Because I prefer to write in the first person, the persona of the storyteller/character guides the choice of words. So if it's "natural" for the storyteller to weave a complex story, that's what happens and if it's natural for the storyteller to get down to business and "git 'er done", that's what happens. What sells the story to the reader is the situation and the believability of the characters.
When it doesn't seem to get the message that I want it to be doing something other than what it's doing.
... and how would you feel if your significant other was doing it behind your back?
