Putting Penis to Paper: When Sex Writing Goes Terribly Wrong | Broadly
The spokesperson for this year's Bad Sex in Fiction Award explains why literary copulation is so often terrible.

In many cases, Brinkley says, sex becomes a blind spot for novelists who can masterfully describe scenes of street fairs or sunsets or even shitting. "You end up with this really overblown imagery to try and make light of the act or find a new interesting way of describing it, when actually sticking to the mechanics of it can be much more successful," he explains. "One of the hallmarks of bad sex is that the passage really stands out in the texture of the book as a whole, and sometimes that's because the writer is approaching it with a slightly different attitude."




cackles I'm so glad I'm better at writing naughty scenes than a sunset or something. (Priorities I guess. lol) I'd seriously be at a loss to describe a sophisticated nature scenery, but give me a naughty scene between Jean-Luc Picard and and a consenting adult male and I'm all set.
Smut is a wonderful thing. :D
It is! I started writing it very early in my life, my second fan fic ever was already X rated, lol.
