ok thereâs been enough reblogs from enough people on enough various posts of mine that now i need to stand up for the bitches who donât fuck of the world. people arenât writing bad smut because of a lack of having sex. they are writing it because a lot of people have very poor visualization skills and forget halfway through what position characters are supposed to be in, or donât understand what makes a word a good or bad choice, or canât create compelling dynamics. i promise that even the sexually inactive, by virtue of also existing within the human form, would know that if youâre behind someone you canât lick their nipple. and i promise that the frequently sexually active are equally prone to using the word âmewled.â i can pretty much guarantee that having a lot of sex and writing good sex scenes are unrelated. do you think your favorite horror authors are cutting people up in their basements. do you think your favorite food critics are michelin chefs. do you think the people blocking cool combat scenes in movies are routinely getting into cage fights. no they just understand how to utilize tone, pacing, momentum, and the tools of film direction, while keeping action tied to character. like believe it or not this is simply a skill like everything else. idk i always think that that point of view shows a lack of understanding of what makes a sex scene work. it removes the craft of it in a way i find short-sighted. i think people are confused about the reason teenagers are writing bad sex scenes. itâs not because theyâre not fucking, itâs because they are young and havenât had the years to hone their writing craft the way someone older has.
