Questionable Questing

The teasing is the good part after all...

Pfffft, well at least you know what you really like?

Well this is smut we're talking about... everything leading up to the sex is probably more interesting than most of the sex itself once you've read enough (unless the fetish is novel or something)

Writing sex is kinda boring. Mind control kink and kink in general? Incredibly interesting. The sex itself isn't as hot to me.

It's weird because like, if it's an RP with someone, writing sex is fine, and actually really fun and good. But if it's just me writing on my own (even for an audience)...not so much.

Queen Fiona

Someone complained about it and I can't actually tell them they're wrong, especially since it was the character losing her virginity and the emotions that came with that. But to me, that was just a formality after her first proper hypnosis where she turned someone into *hers*, hers alone, through a presence in her mind that continually influences her toward her best interests...

Queen Fiona

It's just funny to see how my audience has expanded such that people complain about there being more MC and little sex.

My usual crowd doesn't care, or if they do they never brought it up.

If it's not MC it's something else, like video games, anime, science, politics, worldbuilding, or just cuddling and shitposting. The temptation and teasing is good too, of course.

In the words of a good friend: 'kink > sex'

Daniel K. English

Smut is supposed to be a masturbation/sex aid. That's what people come here for.

Then you get writers who get bored of writing sex, so they experiment by adding other things. The new stuff becomes fun to write, and so the sex gets a backseat.

Daniel K. English

I mean, as a writer, you're more focused on Character A's plot, and the sex is really only there because Character B needs to get laid, and who else can do it but Character A and C, etc. Writers need to have fun with what they're doing, too, or else they stop writing.

Queen Fiona

I mean, that's one thing, and you're not wrong, but it's like...when I get into a hypnosis or kink scene, when my switch is flipped, I get turned on and get *really* into it. That doesn't happen when I'm writing just sex so much, although if I'm still riding that it can work. And obviously sex can be a part of that kink, it just wasn't in this case.

Queen Fiona

My hormones fuck with my sex drive a lot. Not in a bad way necessarily, but I suspect I don't process sex the way most other people do as a result.

Daniel K. English

Crap, I realized I was ranting my dissatisfaction about smut. Sorry about that.

Queen Fiona

It's fine~ Like I said, you're not wrong. It's just that it's more than that in my situation.

Such a good girl, keeping such materials on hand, so her Mistress doesn't have to~ *Pets*

Queen Fiona

...while I'm flattered, I'm not sure I understand what you mean.
