Re: Writing good love scenes/lead-ups

[(Anonymous)]

There's a big difference between consent-as-an-element-of-the-character-interaction in the sex scene in question (i.e., the consent adds something to the overall scene or is tied to something about the established characterization, or the overarching situation); vs consent-as-jarring-and-pointless-insertion-of-the-author's-voice.

If you want your sex to involve consent, the appropriate tone and aesthetic and style of writing has to be spread throughout the scene, not just "stylized porn, stylized porn, *SUDDEN OUTTA NOWHERE REMINDER ABOUT CONSENT THAT ADDS NOTHING TO THE SCENE* more stylized porn, more stylized porn..."

For example, this utterly winceworthy passage from a fic I've read:

"One thing he’d learned about Robin Scherbatsky was that she liked to be punished, liked to be controlled. She liked to be spanked, liked to be tied up, liked to dance on the razor-sharp edge of pleasure and oblivion. She liked to be shown the error of her ways. She was a textbook case of daddy issues. However, it never made her any less of a feminist because she believed that the point of women’s liberation gave her the choice to decide how she liked to get down. "

Like, lol, are you serious did you actually just write that last sentence and think "lol yes this won't throw anyone out of the story at all."
