"Write character relationships that are normal" WRONG ☝ CODEPENDENCY BEAM 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

Sex scene as character study is so good. What is your relationship to your body? What is your relationship to your partner?

How do they communicate? How do they expect others to communicate? How well do they understand their body and their own capacity for pleasure? What do they tend to do to make their partner feel comfortable? How comfortable are they showing emotion in front of others?

How conscious are they of exchanges of power and vulnerability? very very very good

People sneer at sex scenes in fiction as pointless prurient fluff but this is a really intimate view of characters at the extremes of their interactions, their desires, their fears, their revelations and concealments, and the meat of their interactions and relationships. You can do so much with it!

Sex scenes done well are like action scenes. There should be pauses in action, negotiation, turnabouts, revelation. Backstory is included, how does past trauma affect how a character wishes their body to be celebrated? How does their experiences together affect how they want to treat their lover's body?

"what if they fucked" WRONG. what if they ruined each other's lives irreparably. what if there was nothing left but a smoldering heap. what if everything that brought them together twisted and corroded and ripped them apart. and then they fucked.
