I read a shit load of smut and try to collect passages I like specifically to work out what I like about them and process that into workable original words.

On the one hand it leads to recycling stock phrases when you figure out the original word combos that work for you, on the other turns out descriptions that get you really into something will get other people really into something.

This can be good! Reading for inspiration is a part of being a writer but I’ve also seen it be taken to unfortunate extremes. I once had an RP partner whose writing would go from mediocre/okay (they had great characterization but their narration was decent at best) to really creative and engaging when we were writing smut and I learned later they were stealing phrases wholesale from fanfic.

TBH, all I can say is... don’t try too hard to emulate a certain way of writing smut, if that makes sense? If the issue is that your writing feels unnatural. Yeah, use books and erotica and threading with other people it comes easier to for reference, esp. on, like, how things feel that you haven’t ever done in real life, but in as much as it’s a starting point for how you’d write about a thing normally if you were going a little description-heavy. And as always, keep stuff in there for your thread partner’s character to react to if they want!

On how I make it work comfortably for me personally, a lot of people like to play up dirty, sensual, or emotional language in sex or make-out scenes, I tend to keep description and imagery more neutral with focuses on sensation and most immediate reactions, then move into introspection and intent behind what my character’s doing for the lovey-dovey stuff. E.x. character feels the grip and press of his partner’s lips on his neck, something in his head lights up, he gasps at rising tension, this feels so vulnerable! But he invites her in more by flattening himself against the bed, wriggling to tug his sleeves lower off his shoulders, and presses his hand against the back of her head, while his breath starts to shake.

relax.

read back a few tags. imagine the scene.

listen to music that fits the characters & scene.

think about the flow of action, pace, etc. think about what might feel good.

ime pacing is the biggest reason tags start to feel unnatural in any context, but it can be an even bigger issue with smut tags. as long as something is happening to move the scene along, don't feel bad about giving a shorter tag that rolls better than a clunky long tag.

have sex with somebody

touch another person

kiss or have sex with somebody

do something with another person

experience what you want to write

My fight scenes did get a LOT better after I took up fencing, I gotta say.

i'm ace and enjoy writing smut, so sue me. i personally don't enjoy sex. i can write characters that do.

do you have to be a murderer to write a character that enjoys killing?

nah.

it's true, id never be able to describe my character's telekinetic powers nearly as well as i do if i hadn't performed telekinesis myself!

being able to do what you rp irl is 100% vital if you're ever going to be a Real rper tbqh

eh

i mean i'm not asexual, in a sexual relationship, and sure maybe it helped me to describe what my own physical reactions as a woman were like but that's not really going to help in every situation nor is it the be all end all to understanding sex.

tbh my advice is to practice writing it with someone you're comfortable with and also to watch porn (with the grain of salt that these are both often sort of unrealistic since so many anon gets a bug up their bum about that) and think of how you'd describe the visual. that's what helps me the most at least.

I don’t like sex rly

plz show bob and vagene

read a shitton of porn and keep track of what makes a scene sound natural or unnatural

Yeah, I think you might not get an easy answer on this. Some people prefer the physical aspect of such scenes, while others prefer the emotional ones.

The best I could suggest is focus on how would you feel in that situation, what would be the thing on the characters' mind and all of their senses while on the scene: The touch of their partner, the warmth of the kiss, the taste of lips or teeth; but just as well, the beating of their hearts, where and what moves them to act the way they do, etc.

This isn't helpful on a descriptive level so much as a scene progression level, but... every kind of sex scene has a formula. For example: I have read a Lot of m/m sex scenes. They start with making out, then the characters get undressed. One of the characters gets oral. Then one character get stretched, moving up to three fingers. Scissoring is explicitly mentioned. Then they do penetrative. The phrase "painful pleasure" gets used somewhere in that. There are wanton moans. When they get close, the topping character thrusts once, twice (maybe three times), and then they come together, or nearly. End scene.

There are so many of these fics, and with most of them, you could just switch out character names and literally nothing would change. I could write this scene in my sleep, I've read it so many times. f/m and f/f have their own standard sex scenes, too. So for whatever type you're writing, figure out what that model is, and deviate from it. Doing that will help it feel a lot less paint by numbers, and help you inject a little of your character's personality into the scene.
