Can I be honest with you all?
I Suck at Sex Scenes, every time I try, my brain goes blank, especially since most of protagonsits are either Lesbians or Bi-sexual/
Any advice would be great!

Please tell me your Slime mage story doesn't have such scenes in it...

Don't focus on actions so much. There is a reason a lot of buildup is killed by smut authors, especially in a romantic setting. They end up focusing on the actions of the characters in the scene and over indexing into it. People love cute romance, so there is no reason to not do the same thing in a smut scene.

It's possible to do an entire scene without even mentioning a genitalia or body parts, depending on composition. I once did a sex scene as a musical score. Every touch was the plucking of an instrument, and the song's buildup was leading towards a climax. Their emotions were incorporated into the music.

I am not saying to never use action, but just remember why people read cute romance and apply it to smut. They want to see how characters react to being touched. Think about that first kiss in a story you read and the lead up to it. Now if you are writing fetish content, it might be completely different.

Another tip is to read sex scenes that people think are great for the genre you are writing. Even if you never experienced something, you can write about it by reading other people's take on it.

As a writer, I generally fade to black, or at least I don't mention specific body parts. As a reader, it's enough for me to know the characters were intimate, I don't really need a blow-by-blow (so to speak).

Why is a cotton-pink-head chibi vampy giving smut advice now?

I was never good at math, but I feel like all of these threads about needing help writing sex scenes, or look at my sex scene I wrote - tell me how to improve, are just excuses for virgins to start up degenerate discussions 90% of the time. And then everyone falls for it and starts a back 'n forth between themselves, exposing how much of a gooner each other is.

Honestly, well played, but it's getting old.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. A lot of male smut writers are writing from speculation, not experience, and it shows. It can't be helped when they have no experience to draw from.

*turn down the music volume*

Nuh uh, smutty hub always need a smutty party thread like this coz that's what makes the community tighter. Everyone can be free to choose wether they prefer sausages, bun, or sausages in a bun in this bbq party. This is the reason why we have a thriving and happy smutty community.

*raised the music volume again*


PS for OP: Watch and read more porns and hentai, dont worry, many authors write about murder and surviving apocalypse without even need to experience one. Edit: The former is optional (but please dont)

Good point. Just like how people write stories with comedy without possessing a comedic bone in their body. :blob_sir:
