I have a few erotic short stories I’m working on, and in one of them I’ve arrived to the sex scene. During outlining it, I questioned if the guy should cum multiple times. Is it hotter if they don’t, or does the lack of realism take you out of the story?

Are there any other porn-logic tropes in stories that turn you on or off?

    If a story has something like:

    My wife is still beautiful. With a perfect 34/18/42 body, and large perky nipples…

    Then I just move onto the next story immediately. It’s such a boring cliche and creates an exact mechanical woman.

    Their body type can be hinted at.

    My wife has hips your eyes can’t help but admire, and breasts that any woman would be proud of.

    That let’s the reader create their own desirable women in their mind.

    For me, that’s a woman that looks like my wife. For others it might be a totally different body type, but they’ll still create that image.

      I hate when someone puts a bra size into their story. They almost never know how bra sizing works, and it immediately irritates me. I’ve seen a lot of 32in waisted women that somehow wear a 44F bra 🙄.

      I’ll describe shapes and sizes, but from a character’s point of view. I’ll write it in a way that a regular person might have described through conversation or reaction. Sort of like your preferred example.
