I don't think I've ever identified more with a secret in my life.

[(Anonymous)]

And suddenly, I understand why I like what I like.

[(Anonymous)]

But why dub-con and horror?
My number one thing in fiction is dialogue and relationships, so I can't really relate, but I'm curious why those genres are better for what sounds kind of like character-study-fic?

[(Anonymous)]

My guess is because dub-con and horror have a tendency to focus a lot on the main character's feelings in order to get the right feeling across to the reader. Very rarely in fluff fic will you get much focus beyond "yay, this makes me happy!" because it's mostly focused on the interactions and outward manifestation of affection. (Which, IMO, is adorable when done right, but I think I get where the OP is coming from in wanting some insight into the characters' psyches.)

[(Anonymous)]

Thats true about fluff fic. It really doesn't give you much exploration of how people tick. But angst, or like really well done character fic...

[(Anonymous)]

Not OP, but as someone who only really reads smut when it's in the form of dub/non-con I do it because it's less about the sex and more about power. 10 pages of described sex acts do nothing for me, but the same situation with less attention given to the physicality and more to how the character feels (powerful, desperate to escape, confused, etc) will turn me on like crazy. It's certainly possible to find fic of two people mutually enjoying the banging, but it's a lot harder. Writers tend to write from the 'sex is sexy' mindset, and as someone who doesn't find sex to be sexy on its own it's a lot easier to find what I want with rape.

[(Anonymous)]

OP

This. Exactly this.

On its own, and even in most rape scenarios, explicit sex scenes just make me cringe a little (mostly because it's all the same - A sticks it in B, B begs for more/no more, blah, blah, blah) unless the physical act is overshadowed by what the character feels.

[(Anonymous)]

Totally unrelated but I had a happy moment glancing at this secret out of the corner of my eye when I thought it was a reference to Guru Meditation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guru_Meditation). Please tell me this was intentional <3

[(Anonymous)]

I live for a good character study that includes porn. Dub-con is a pretty consistent way to find what I want from fanfic.

[truxillogical]

Which makes me think of why I love Clint/Coulson. Because, like 90% of it is about them building up trust in tense situations.

[(Anonymous)]

It's like 9 out of 10 people think rape-drama is the best thing ever. Why do you need rape to enjoy a character study when there's so many other kinds of angst/drama?

[(Anonymous)]

I only seem to see those people here, actually. I don't get it either.

[(Anonymous)]

Rape-as-drama is kinda boring (and so tiring when used as a quick excuse for a H/C fic), but explicit, graphic depictions of non consensual sex is pretty much the easiest way for me to get the emotional connection I need to be turned on. (First-time fic, where everyone is SUPER awkward and really earnest is also good for that.)

[(Anonymous)]

OP
I actually prefer stories that have little to no actual sex and yet still have the dark examination of someone's mindset (and changing it! those are the best ones, where someone breaks/molds another person to fit what they want), but unfortunately those are rather hard to find.

[(Anonymous)]

i actually mostly write relationship-based fic, but i focus a lot more on the psyche of the characters. it's fun.
