Thoughts on explicit sex scenes
2 years ago
It's getting to a point again that when I write, the sex is the part that I'm least interested in describing for paragraphs at a time. For the Buffers Evolution one, I know it got a little goofy with bubbly anime areas and such and frankly I probably won't entirely stop doing that because frankly I think it's funny. But as for the sex, it's just hard for me to figure out how to write pages and pages of the mechanical bits because of a couple reasons: 1) I think I'm running out of ways to say it and that makes it boring to write and 2) I'd much rather focus on the emotional aspect if at all possible. Maybe that makes me a hopeless romantic, but I imagine the imagination can handle more of the heavy lifting instead of every paragraph being a matter of checking your watch and saying, "yep, still fucking!"
I feel like this is cyclical in a way and there will come a time later where I will absolutely be back to writing the steamiest sex scenes I can imagine in excruciating detail; this is just kind of a thought about what I'm working on right now and whether that comes out right away is always a "probably not." Maybe I'll be able to vary things up as I finish whatever.
