[M] I am in misery

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.


Temporary Change: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 3,000. Please refrain from spamming so we can stretch these entries for a little longer. We don't need several threads soliciting photo evidence of body parts, and we already know that we only care about yaoi. Failure to comply will only result in deletions and butthurt. "People may notice site slowdown/cache error pages. We're working on fixing. You can help: finish posts at 3k comments, not 5k or more." - Dreamwidth@Twitter

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

anons, I'm going to be threading smut with someone for the first time really soon

simultaneously excited and nervous beyond belief that I might mess up horribly somehow

so, I'm wondering if you guys could gird my loins or at least slap good sense into me. got any tips, dos/don'ts, common mistakes, or helpful resources that might come in handy for a smutting beginner?

it's no big deal

just have fun, anon ;)

(Anonymous) 2012-09-06 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
well, true, I suppose it isn't

thank you, anon

holy shit it's not like you're having sex for real

calm the fuck down you autist

(Anonymous) 2012-09-06 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
see this is exactly the kind of slap I was talking about

and you're right, it's not. overthinking things too much on my end, I guess

thank you for your frankness, anon, and I mean that in all sincerity

Don't worry about wearing a condom, I heard you can't get preggo from your first time!

I've also been told that pouring coke into your vagina is a great alternative to birth control

Aw, I felt like that too, and that I would fuck it up somehow. Although, I started small with just frottage :<

I'd suggest not taking it too seriously and having fun with it, anon!

(Anonymous) 2012-09-06 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, looking back on everyone's replies and my own comment now, I guess it's a bit silly. The person I'll be threading with has done loads of smut already, too, so I really don't want to disappoint them or anything either...

But you're all right, it's just for fun in the end, and I should engage it as such. Thank you for the advice too, anon c:

Just remember to play your CHARACTER, not a random porn actor with your character's name. How would they feel about sex, what would they like or dislike, are they inhibited or unhibited, do they laugh, how much do they trust the other character...all that kind of stuff. You don't need to fill out a survey like homework, but be thinking about those kinds of things, that it's this PERSON having sex and reacting, the same person you always play.

That's what makes smut threads fun and interesting and real; talking about what your character is feeling (or saying! sex doesn't have to be nothing but wordless groans) keeps it from degenerating into robotic boring 'tab A slot B' type lameness. In the same vein, remember that penis-in-vagina or one-two-three-fingers-prep-penis-in-butt templates are common, sure, but not mandatory. You don't have to do crazy kama sutra stuff, just be flexible about what developes, because automatically assuming/railroading just one sex act can make things bland.

Avoid ridiculous euphemisms, and consider asking your rp partner if there are any words that really break the mood for them. (I really hate 'to the root', for example, but lots of other people are fine with it.) Also, have your character DO THINGS in response, not JUSt feel things. Even if your character is mainly passive, they can give verbal feedback, touch their partner in small ways, caresses, connection, little teasing, whatever.

Remember that not everything has to be super perfect IC, real sex has funny or awkward moments too.

And, just like all threads, the basics: be open to communicating with your RP partner if you're having trouble or uncertain about something, don't take things TOO seriously, and remember to have fun!

Oh, wow--thank you so much, anon! This is so helpful in so many ways <3 Put like this, all of your points do just sound like common sense, but I can see how they might be forgotten really easily, and this is a great reminder to have.

So thank you again, really. Can't tell you how much I appreciate this. /carefully bookmarks for future reference
