Writing an Intimate Scene

    Before people could speak or understand our biological functions, we had intercourse. Over time, people came out of the caves, made clothing, formed societies, built cities, and became civilized. During this transition, the subject of intercourse changed from an essential human utility to a deeply controversial, personal topic that holds a special place in our society.

    Because intercourse is a delicate subject, it is difficult to write about. Society traditionally considers books, magazines, or newspapers that have written intercourse descriptions to be perverse or “dirty.” However, mass media now provides many intimate descriptions and raunchy visual material. This onslaught makes the subject less shocking, but inappropriate material now confronts our children.

    As a father, I have mixed feeling about this (somewhat) recent development. When I was growing up, obtaining any information on the subject was difficult, but now anybody can view an endless amount. This development will make learning about the topic easier for my daughter, but I do not want her to get bombarded by filth.

    For example, we allow our daughter to watch the television program, Family Guy. There are intercourse references in almost every episode. I find it amusing that as we watch television together, she does not react to them. Thus, the “taboo” topic no longer holds the same special place it once did. It has become buried in the noise of everyday life.

    In my second book, Pushed to the Edge of Survival, a romance develops between the two main characters. I thought that writing an intercourse scene would be easy because I knew the plot. Instead, it was an uncomfortable experience because I had never used intimate words in a document meant to be read by the public.

    The scenes I wrote were passionate with intense emotion. I thought I did a great job, but when I completed the first draft and read the result, the intercourse scene shocked me. I had created something too graphic and inappropriate for what I was trying to achieve.

    I toned down the scene to make it more mainstream. But unfortunately, I went too far, and the description became mechanical. Essentially, I had taken out all the good stuff. I edited the scene several times to find a good balance. My goal was not to offend the reader while keeping the passion.

    One of my writing rules I set for myself was to refrain from vulgarity, demeaning descriptions, and four-letter words. I believe this is the dividing line between intercourse and filth. Thus, I used textbook anatomy words.

    Traditional romance books read take a different approach to intimate scenes. They use lofty words to paint an idealistic scene. For example, the male anatomy might be called “his personal area” or a made-up word, “gobble horn.” It is up to the reader to decode these cryptic descriptions. I do not feel this approach helps a reader connect with the passion a character is supposed to express.

    Why? Mass media has educated people, and they are now mature enough to handle the reality of a realistic and tasteful intercourse description. In addition, birth control has turned intercourse into a fun activity instead of a seedy hook-up. This new level of acceptance is why the book 50 Shades of Grey was so popular. But was it a breakthrough book? No. Intercourse descriptions have become mainstream, and books/tv/movies have been heading in this direction for a long time.

    What will the future hold? Unfortunately, mass media has made this intimate topic so mainstream that the impact is nearly gone. Thus, raunchy material is creeping into forbidden places of safety. For older books, the intercourse scene was the apex of the story. Now, it is one event among many. Yet, a few people still consider the topic to be vastly offensive.

    This tiny group caught me off guard. I received harsh reactions to my book and had to remove the intimate scenes in the second edition. As a new author, this hurt, but I cannot afford any negative publicity. I think the change cheapened the characters but also heightened the tension. I suppose that makes for a better overall book. This lesson was important, but I was proud of my original creation.

    The good news is that it is becoming easier to write an intimate scene because there is less pressure to be timid. I have now learned that the trick to preventing negative feedback is to prepare the reader (far in advance) for what kind of book they are about to read.

Absolutely adore how Marcille's entire spellbook seems to consist of only the most unhinged spells in existence. Like it seems like her entire magical arsenal is comprised of only the barest minimum of healing spells that she was probably required to learn in school, and then Fireball, Police Flash Grenade, Crime Against Nature, Spam Fireball, Unholy Resurrection, More Fireball, and 9th Level Go Fuck Yourself.

Carl's Thoughts on---Being Offensive

CARL GOOCH Carl’s Thoughts on – Offense / Offensive These thoughts are just my opinion and not intended to offend anyone. If you are offended it’s because you allowed yourself to be offended. I’m not saying that there is nothing out there that will not offend you. But in today’s world it seems as though some people go looking for something to be offended by. They even make up new language and…

this doesnt seem like a popular opinion on here but sometimes i like when characters die. sometimes its needed to raise the stakes and sometimes its the end best befitting of the character and sometimes its needed to move the narrative forward and sometimes its the only way a character would believably leave their story behind and sometimes it just spices things up a bit. sometimes its fun to watch characters die . sorry

#text #personal #if death is done badly dont get me wrong. i hate that #but every day i see posts complaining abt characters dying and no offense but. for why

We Don’t Have to Write About It

    There are endless topics to write about, including fictitious genres, current events, and history. Plus, trends, fashions, problems, and opinions. Honestly, it can be overwhelming.

    What should we write about? Horses? How about a Science fiction story about purple aliens? Or perhaps we could examine Richard Nixon’s life. A classical romance novel? It is all possible. Yet readers have strong expectations. They have become knowledgeable, curious, risk avoiders, opinionated, and politically correct.

    As a result, there are taboo subjects, expected subjects, and strong opinions. The WOKE movement is an example of a group that desires to promote their values and dislikes specific topics. As a result, it is essential for an author to be aware of the WOKE opinions and to avoid offending readers.

    That is all good, but not quite the topic I wanted to touch. Let’s examine the book Misery by Stephen King. The story begins with an author who gets injured in a car accident. A book fan rescues the author and takes him through the woods to their house. Umm, wait a minute. As the fan transported the author, did they discuss how important it is to plant trees? No? Well, Stephen King should have included that topic.

    What other topics might readers complain about? “Why don’t you have an LGBTQ character?” “You wrote a book about the ocean and did not mention whales?” “Why is the man a hero and not a woman?” “There was not a single Latino character.” “The lead character was far too young. Stop age discriminating!” “The lead character was far too old. Stop age discriminating!”

    Wow, that spiraled quickly. Readers now have many expectations, and they have a powerful voice. Not including popular opinions can lead to critical reviews, a Facebook/YouTube rant, or even a boycott. Yikes!

    Wait a minute. Does this mean that Stephen King needed a tree-planting paragraph? Would that help the story, lead to more sales or better reviews? Or could this addition have upset some readers or not mattered at all?

    One is tempted to say, “That helpful pro-nature addition would not offend anybody. It would likely improve the story.” Yet, I often see critical reviews citing authors who added excessive and unnecessary detail. Having a pleasant tangent about planting trees during a dark mood scene would indeed lead to negative comments.

    I wanted to provide a different example to prove my point. Society has developed a glass ceiling, meaning that minorities and females have difficulty getting ahead in business. I have many opinions on this topic and would like to share them to help eliminate this obstacle.

    Nobody is forcing me to write about this topic, and I have received no requests to discuss it. Yet, I am sure that by writing about this important topic, I could help (in a small way), but my opinions would upset people. Why? Women and minorities are well aware of this issue (far more than me) and would prefer I keep my “lame-brain opinions to myself.” And my conclusions and recommendations? Yes, I know where I can stuff them. So, I will not write up my thoughts because I chose not to potentially offend some readers.

    It is tempting to say that we have come full circle, but the central issue remains. How does an author please their readers? I answer, “Write what is in your heart and let the rest sort itself out.” Of course, that is a copout. And what about adding shock value (controversial content)? That usually leads to book sales. Right?

    Authors, artists, and other creative people always decide what to include in their work and what not to. Intentionally leaving something out of a book is a difficult skill to master. An even more difficult skill is properly writing about a controversial topic.

    Yet, there is another problem. It is challenging to develop a new topic, and readers always want more. As a result, authors must be bold with their choice of content. Meaning that the decision not to include tree planting was one of many bold choices that made the book Misery a great success.

    It is also essential for an author to have a broad view. The characters and topics should never be stiff. Authors are now expected to explore alternative lifestyles, controversial issues, liberal viewpoints, and different cultures.

    What about readers who complain about missing topics? In any endeavor, it is impossible to please everybody. That is human nature. Meaning that just because society is (presently) focused on a specific topic, it does not have to be included in a story. I advise developing something interesting and including a few popular trends, even if they are outside your comfort zone. This open perspective will both attract readers and make for a better story.

let me tell you something, as a bitch who went viral for her cunty post about the met gala back in 2018: i will always, always, always tolerate ugliness so long as it’s undeniable that a choice was made. when it comes to celebrities paying through the nose to wear costumes and stunt, i want audacity. i want gull and i want gumption. lil nas x looks like the silver surfer got his hands on some nerds rope. pedrito has got his bare thighs out at the gig. doja is serving animorphs realness and you know what? i respect it. in fact, i adore it. because do you want to know what’s exponentially worse than being a lil ugly? being that rich and being that spoiled for wardrobe options and nevertheless committing the unforgivable sin of being boring !!

#met gala #let me tell you something the fact that these celebs will pay the equivalent of a mortgage to look BORING should be a criminal offense
