[ 1 2 - not!secrets ]

[Picture is a trio of Barbie dolls? They are wearing the same clothing: a pink sleeveless shirt.]

Where the fuck is the femslash?

Secret because: They are dolls, cursing dolls...

This is from a youtube show called "The Most Popular Girls in School".

Thank you!

They're characters from the webseries The Most Popular Girls in School. I haven't watched so I don't know who they are. And I think it's a cheerleading uniform?

Ah, thanks!

[Picture is the backcover of a very worn book or notebook. It's black with white squiggles all over it and a bar-code, with the item's number and the sign "made in China". It has a black spine.]

Stop considering yourself to be some kind of sex guru. The smut you write makes it very obvious to anyone who has had sex that you are a virgin. No shame in that, but stop pretending otherwise.

Yeah man, I don't know; I've read porn by married people that is pretty uniquely awful and way off base about how sex works. The only way to tell if someone's a virgin is if they write "I'm a virgin" and even then, who knows.

There are married, published authors who write awful and/or unrealistic sex scenes, though.

i dunno, sometimes virgins write sex better because of all the reading and research they do, and i've even heard a person or two saying that their smut-writing quality went down once they actually had sex themselves

I don't think it's fair to assume someone is a virgin or not based on the sex scenes they write. Disregarding the fact that some married/experienced authors (some of which have been published professionally) have written some truly terrible sex scenes in the past, writing a sex scene or smut in general is not easy for everyone and is actually something a writer has to work on.

I know the first sex scene I ever wrote makes me cringe whenever I think about it. Not because it was inaccurate but because it was of the 'insert tab a into slot b' variety. I didn't know how else to write it at the time and experience (or lack thereof) had nothing to do with it. Plus, honestly, writing a sex scene is formulaic as fuck, it's writing passion or sexual tension that's hard and not everyone can get a handle on it*.

That having been said, even if the person in question has it stamped all over their fic that every sex scene is based off of something they did, that doesn't mean they're a virgin. That just means they've been having some really shitty sex.

*I have a friend who has written one or two published stories that included sex scenes and she actually outsourced them to another writer because, as good a storyteller she is, she couldn't write a passionate sex scene to save her life.

Personally I find the secret to good smut is to get across the emotions, as another comment here said, it's finding the passion.

Unless the writer you are referring to is writing smut that is technically impossible, I don't think you can assume they are virginal. In fact even then, it's possible a person may not get technical stuff right if they are het and writing slash, or gay and writing het, I guess you may get something wrong then if just using your own experience.

I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume the problem is not the quality of the writing or vividness of the imagery per se, but various technical problems that practical experience (or at least a modest amount of research) would overcome, because that I can understand.
