ooh, okay, some thoughts from a scrappy, untrained writer (also thank you for saying that!)
MOST IMPORTANT ADVICE: call a dick a dick (or related words). they’re not interesting enough to warrant all the metaphors.
Other Stuff:
- let people talk during sex!!!
- cute romantic swoony talk
- filthy, filthy dirty talk
- tense, uncomfortable talk
- laughing and giggling (more of this pls)
- when you can’t figure out how to write a sex position, just google image it and describe whatever porn you see. somewhere in my history, you’ll find many variations on “gay sex on washing machine / in shower / against wall.”
- i also have a tendency to just straight up describe what’s happening instead of making it pretty? like [x] goes into [y] in [z] way = sex. i think for me it’s the same as the dick thing–we all know what’s happening so it’s not necessary to cloak it in mystery unless you’re just into that.
- (i’m also not talented enough to write anything more than the math equation version of sex lol so take everything with a grain of salt!!)
- fading to black is great! sometimes, i’m in the middle of a scene and i’m, like, “ugghhh, i think the cuddling afterward is more important than the rest of the sex and writing orgasms is weird” and i just fucking skip it.
- writing orgasms is weird
- i have no help for that
