Thanks for the info. It all makes sense.
I'll read through the stories and hopefully have one of my own ready in the next couple of days.

I'm just wondering and looking for some advise on the length of an introduction for a sex story.
I wrote a couple of short stories before and I easily find the balance between introduction and story but with a story I seem to be a little lost.
I read a lot of stories, not just for pleasure but also to analyse and learn and usually I try to find what I liked or disliked about a specific story.
Often when there is barely an introduction (a few sentences to a few paragraphs) I notice that I often find the characters flat and boring. Even when there are pages filled with steaming scenes in quick succession.
I somehow want character to live and just act as placeholders for a random women/men.
I'm writing my first sex story and upon an initial review I notice I have about 3/4th of a page shaping the characters and setting the scene.
I start to wonder if that's a good idea. Maybe I might bore people as they usually don't want to read sex stories for the plot or complex characters.
All that said... I want to see if someone has advise on this topic.
