I completely agree a lot of the virgin fics around can come across weird, I’d love to see your take on it!! I love your writing so much 🥹

Thank you for the vote of confidence! Again, I want to stress I'm not dragging the trope itself or any particular fics, I just think there's a lot of unexplored territory within that space. I feel like I see a lot of virgin characters portrayed as virginal - blushing, uninformed and corruptible. I don't find that realistic, I think there can and should be a distinction between inexperience and purity and that could make for an interesting story. Virgin characters can be knowledgeable about sex, be horny, be confident in their sexuality. To me, "can we try this" is just as interesting -and hot- as "let me teach you" ("teach me" fic is great, don't get me wrong! But there's so much more that can be done!)

I think my thesis here is that my virgin character would be just as slutty as my other characters lmao. Virginity can be a plot point without necessarily being their main character trait.

#it also doesn't really have to be a super romantic story #just bc he's your first one doesn't mean he's The One ykwim?#idk I'd just like to see a virgin character with a ton of agency and not a lot of naivete #the excitement of exploration should be bc she's having sex with HIM not just bc she's having sex #and like i said - no shade to any virgin fics that use the tropes/traits I'm contrasting #i think a lot of it also comes down to the fact that -I assume- those types of stories largely are appealing to or written by younger fans #which is great! there's space here for everyone to tell and find their stories!#but as I get older - and more importantly the band gets older #i find the innocence trope less and less appealing #also that was just never my experience lmao?#I'm a millennial - for better or worse media and the internet taught me things long before I needed to know them ykwim #well this was a tangent #anyways #I'd love to write that someday #not soon but someday #ask #anon #kh4f writing #virginity tw #just in case?#idk just in case someone doesn't have my fic ask tag blocked
