Do you have any advice on how to write sex? I'm not a virgin (far from it, actually haha) yet I can't do it. Thank you!

So, as someone who’s quite possibly somewhere on the ace spectrum, take my advice with a salty pinch of I am really not an expert or the target audience of sex scenes. Most NSFW stuff you see from me, or even kissing, is pure lies and imagination on my part.

That said, if you want my advice - don’t make your sex scene all about sex. 

Typical right, given my disclaimer, and frankly ridiculous, but let me unpack. 

Some thoughts:

I’m sure sex is a lot of fun to be having, but it’s not as much fun to read in painstaking physical detail. Sex isn’t that sexy in the nitty gritty details. It’s the emotional intimacy that I think people are drawn to, or the power play, the tension of the plot and oh they’re finally confessing they like each other and oh no they may never see each other again, whatever else that is going on that isn’t just the physical fact of he touched her, she kissed her lips, he took him in his mouth etc. That’s clinical, it’s not passionate. Physical actions are often in novels to express an emotion or a desire, it’s not just what they’re doing.

Look at sex scenes you have enjoyed reading and take note of what they are doing. And take note of what pulls you out of the moment. Unhelpful, but it varies for everyone because the human race has a very broad range of kinks and squicks. That’s okay. 

Think about what you have personally enjoyed and focus in on those types of details during the scene. 

Description is your friend in the five senses, have your characters responding to each other. Don’t have them think about other things for really long times unless you want them to come across as bored. You can have them think how beautiful their partner is, enjoying sounds, whatever, but if you want them really into each other keep it fairly insular to who you’re writing about.

You can use metaphor, but use it sparingly perhaps. And please don’t use cars. Don’t do a Morrissey. If in doubt, keep your writing simple.

Language wise, maybe avoid the nicknames. There are sexy things to call your body, and then there’s nicknames. Go hard, or go home and don’t call it a popsicle or whatever E. L James. 

 It also depends what you want to write your sex scene for. Do you want to write something smutty to fluster people, or do you want to write about an honest reflection between two people because the second may be more warm and awkward. People talk. People don’t get it right in realistic sex scenes all the time, there’s fumbling, there’s sweetness, there’s whatever because not everyone particularly enjoys sex so it depends on your protagonist. Sexy sex scenes often skip or fudge what would be long preparation in a line, because no one really cares about that. You can dash it off in a line because people get the point.

Foreplay. Half of writing a sex scene is probably what comes before the act. 

Hope this helps at all.

How to Give Your Villain an Emotional Backstory That Isn’t Tragic

In crafting a villain’s backstory, we often want the origin to be as powerful as the character themselves. As Chris Colfe says, “A villain is just a victim whose story hasn’t been told.”

Unfortunately, however, tragic backstories become tedious. Oh, of course their parents were eaten alive in front of them, their home was foreclosed on by a corrupt institution, the love of their life betrayed them, their favorite TV show was canceled, and they couldn’t get the last scrap of mayonnaise out of the jar. Someone get the fainting couch, quick.

At a certain point, it’s no longer a backstory – it’s a sob story, which quickly transforms our empathy into pity, and finally into boredom. We roll our eyes and wish the villain had kept the melodrama to themselves.

On the other side of that coin, having a character who stomps on bunnies for no reason isn’t exactly relatable, and a well-rounded character can’t just burst into existence one day fully formed. Everyone has a history. 

So how can you give your villain a backstory that tugs on readers’ heartstrings, without making it a sob story?

For this, we’re going to use Epic of Lilith as an example once again (How to Make Your Villain Domestic but Still Evil), as well as Megamind briefly. Some of these tips can also be applied to heroes, but we’ll stay villain-centric for now.

If you wanna know why Shepard decided to stick with Cerberus, it’s because they were the only ones willing to hire her after a 2 year gap of unemployment.

shit that happens to my inquisitor and her bound ghosts in kotfe

theron and koth walk in on her arguing with herself

lana has to explain to them that she isn’t crazy, it’s just weird force shit

valkorian gets five words into one of his annoying lectures until the other ghosts start talking over him

seriously, they go out of their way to make his unlife a living hell

arcann is essentially fighting five force users, not one (and he’s driving himself mad trying to figure out why the outlander is so powerful)

it’s been 10 years, it’s gotten to the point where everyone in her head pretty much gets along 

that’s why she feels comfortable letting them appear on odesson

satele’s face when they appear is hilarious

the jedi master was prepared for one powerful and snarky sith, not five of them

Hey, Blondie! I meant Miss Vaylin)

[jutb0x]

Her Glorious Majesty, Master and Protector of Zakuul, Empress Vaylin. 

Runes must be saying “We are eternal”. If I done them right.

Actually, I did it not only for my sudden Vaylin needs, but also as some kind of present for @wixked-justice coz i can and have a habit of doing sudden I-did-it-pic-for-ya-coz-i-wanted things. Also coz of great RP, yeah.

So… I hope it all wasn’t rude or smthng like this, apologize in advance. If you want, take a look and have a good day\night. Hope you like it.

My beloved kinda complicated family in SWTOR <3 

Yenor is a friend’s character we decided to adopt. :3

still deciding if we should raise the kid in Coruscant or Drommund Kaas… Probably neither. Probably Odessen will do just fine.

So I work for Bioware (SWTOR) now and I am glad that the time honored tradition of meme-ing on your own games is present within corporate America.
