Okay I looked it up. Despite being a kinda-smol I still look up smut and kinks because who doesn't like seeing stuff turn into nightmares via a debatabace (debatable ace, more ace-spectrum than anything)? I do that with everything, from puppies to kittens, and some kinks are fun to see how I can use elements of them for horror stuff idk. If I can screw something up, I will. It's not that weird, it's kinda a swing thing, sure, but it's kinda just a thing to hold you or your partner up in the air, like on a swing, whilst doing the fucc. It looks precarious so I personally wouldn't try it, but you can look it up, it isn't as totally crazy as it sounds.

Okay wow so much info thx

I can hardly think of a situation where you'd need to right about one unless you had a super bizarre fetish character, but you do you.

There are some things that I want to know about writing some smut.

  • Suggestions on transitioning from nice and sweet to hot and kinky.
  • Advice on writing positions
  • Dialogue during the act
  • Overall details

Deleted user

okay thats gonna take me a bit to write out, but I am working on it.

Is there anything specific that you want to know?

Deleted user

  • My suggestion for transitions from casual make out to doing to do is to go slow. I've noticed that a lot of writers tend to just jump in. And while that does happen in real life, it's not entirely 'romantic'. Especially if you want the readers to really enjoy the romance subplot instead of just see it as random smut. The slow burn is an effective tool that generally captures interest and has the readers connect more with characters. I would start with kisses and general cuddling and build up into the hot and kinky aspect. Make their movements a little more determined, quick, and hard to show the urgency, the need. Transition from having the characters thoughts about how much they care for the person to how much they want to feel them. When reach the point where the characters are at their most vulnerable, show that sweetness and love again before descending into the act itself. It's really easy to get caught up in the movements and the idea of sex, but once you're writing it and understand how your characters will act in such a situation it'll be easy to go with the flow.

  • Advice on positions, eh? Lol this made me laugh a little, not going to lie. My best advice for this is just to study. Look it up. It's natural to be curious about how all this works and the best way to learn is by example. I'd be careful though because that world can get wild pretty fast. (Since this was a little vague I'll wait for you to clarify on what you'd like to know specifically.)

Deleted user

  • Dialogue. Ermmmm. Honestly, during the act I'd stay away from it. It really is confusing when you have characters talking while doing the do for the reader to focus on what's happening. I mean you can have some kinky dirty talk here and there or an exclamation of some sort, but I'd stick with descriptions. Dialogue is just kinda bland and can get cheesy really quickly.

  • Over all details meaning…..? I'd search through the chat to see my other responses if you're curious.

Questions for my fellow writers, are you guys more dom, sub, or switch? I… I would like to say dom, but I'm a really, really subby kinda switch, but mostly sub overall.

Deleted user

woah i'm gonna take that as a writer and not an actual human being who is not active sexually

I mostly write sub. I like it.

Deleted user

SOrry, that was random. I do mean more from a writing perspective, sorry.

@HighPockets group

I don't really write smut, but I'd say that more of my guys are subs, and more of the girls doms.
Also I'd say the nonbinary and genderfluid characters are more dom? Idk, like I said I don't write smut.

ooooh ok.

Well i only really write a few of my OCs in smut, two are switch and two are sub. So i guess it just depends.

@Fraust

I almost always write sub, but my subs get more confident later on (when they're more experienced) and one of my characters is actually a switch sometimes

@SaltyLasagna

I have a question

How do you smoothly write a scene that strongly hints at two characters about to have sex, but never gets into detail and the scene ends before it happens? Like how do I do that and not make it awkwardly written? Especially the end of the scene

Deleted user

Like a 'fade to black'?

That's pretty easy actually. You can have the scene leading up to it be hot and heavy with making out and other intimate things. Get that implication down really good and then just have the characters move into a bedroom or give consent to move forward with sexytime and then gently end the scene.
I think it is really important to end the scene specifically on both a high note of happiness between the characters and also gently because at the end of the day it is an entirely intimate moment. It is important to maintain a gentle and loving relationship not only between the characters but between the characters and the reader. You want to make sure that the reader is (somewhat) satisfied by the goings on, even if it is a fade to black.

For example (And forgive my character choices):

Harry shifted and Ginny made a sound of protest as he stood up. Where did he think he was going in the middle of all this? Didn't he see how much she wanted him? Just as she was about to voice her displeasure, Harry extended his hand towards her with a soft smile. "Come on." He whispered, eyes still glimmering with intensity. Ginny took his hand, only to blush a little when she realized where he was leading them. Her bedroom. A soft 'oh' escaped her lips as she stepped inside. Harry shut the door quietly, before reaching for her once more. It was only a moment before they had collapsed onto her bed, picking up where they had left off.
