Sex in Stories

How much sexual activity do bạn believe is good in stories? None at all? hoặc a whole lot? Is it okay if it progresses the story? hoặc to get people's attention? How about if it adds symbolism?

Tell me what bạn think!

Sex.... Ok this is my opinion but I really feel awkward đọc about sex in detail but I'm fine if like it has them going into it but than it has a ~~~~~~ under it hoặc gies to a different scene... But that's just my opinion

I think it depends on who your targeted audience is in your stories. If it's a children's book I'm obviously going to say it's bad, if it's young adult, a mention is okay, and if it's an adult romance novel, GO FOR IT! If it's progress in the story, go for it, but if you're just throwing it in, please leave it out. Your audience WILL be able to tell bạn just threw it in. Getting people's attention with sex shouldn't be your concern. bạn should be thêm worried about your development of characters and a plotline. If those are good, people will be paying attention to bạn already.

It really depends on the story, your target audience(if bạn have one), how bạn handle it, and what bạn feel comfortable writing. For example, Harry Potter would have been ridiculous had Harry had sex, regardless of how symbolic it could have been. It just would not have fit into that story line hoặc with that character. On the other hand, it would have been just as ridiculous for the recently married Edward and Bella to not have sex in Breaking Dawn.

I have seen stories where the tác giả was not exactly comfortable (and had no idea what they were even talking about), but felt like they had to write a sex scene, and the sex came off as cheesy and awkward, and ruined the story.

It just really depends on bạn and your story.

Okay, sex in stories is good, as long as bạn make it clear. I'm uncomfortable nghề viết văn sex in my stories because I already have so many children in my stories, but when bạn write sex, I think if bạn literally add the parts (the names) and what happens, for an audience my age, it may be too much. But for an audience around age 16-21, it's good enough.

And bởi clear, I mean, if bạn don't know what sex is hoặc what bạn do, just don't write about it. Plus, it has to make sense. bạn can't have them taking off their clothes at the end of the scene hoặc something like that. Also, be specific, make sure bạn say what they're wearing hoặc how they remove the clothes. Geez, this was uncomfortable..

Don't worry. It's a pretty uncomfortable topic.

I think it's okay as long as it moves the plot along, there isn't a whole lot of it like maybe once. Twice at the most for me. But for me it also can't be really descriptive. I like how Stephanie Meyer did itin Breaking Dawn how she đã đưa ý kiến Bella woke up with bruises everywhere and the room was destroyed. See it's not that descriptive, it moves the plot along, and it only happens once :)

I don't like Twilight, but that WAS a pretty good strategy.

I don't really care. I mean I read Something Blue in fifth grade and didn't have a problem with it. That's probably because of all the lemons I read (DON'T JUDGE ME!!!!!). But if it's too long hoặc if there's no meaning to it than it gets annoying. And graphicness I still have a problem with it.

Don't worry no one's judging you. I completely agree, not too detailed but otherwise I wouldn't care.

I think it would be all right to hint at sex. It depends on how much detail bạn go into in the scene. That's just my opinion.

When I write close to sex I'll explain what goes on before but I'll end the chapter right there and go onto the tiếp theo part where the character wakes up the tiếp theo day.

Do bạn always do that? hoặc some variation of it? Just wondering, that seems like it'd be boring to write it that way everytime.
AbbieCoast posted hơn một năm qua

It depends. Sometimes I will write the sex scene out other times I will just make it seem like they had sex in the pervious chapter

It is kinda awrward to write about it but if it fits with the story then put it in, if it doesn't i don't think people should just cram it in for the sake of it

NOT NEEDED! If bạn really want, bạn can imply it with giggling hoặc moaning in the other room, hoặc hiển thị a wake-up, bed-sheet, who the heck are you? scene, but to actually describe them getting it on?
NO!!! Not unless you're a porn writer! Which is a terrible thing to be.
