The Art of Writing Smut

Smooth & Sexy

Very well done, Box. I had no idea that writing smut was that complex. Very educational.

Good luck in the contest.

Wow!

I learned quite a lot! :) Not the least of which is: "Nothing should be done in excess and that includes realism." Taking that one to heart. Thanks, Boxy, great how-to!

Good one!

While you know I have an aversion to 'ly' words :)in writing, this piece was well written. Good luck, hon. ~Minx

Ah Yes...!

The King of Smut has spoken folks. This man knows all the folds, the holes, the ins, the outs, Ah...Boxlicker...the Smut Writer's best friend. Don't set down at your computer without his article. *laughing* Good on you!

Sm'Art

;) That's Sm(ut) Art. You're a master, Box.

um

Excuse me, but just because you like women with huge breasts doesn't mean everyone does. Realism is important in a good story and not every woman in the world has enormous breats.

Other then that, it was okay but geez, please let people know it's just your opinion. If we all took your advice every erotic story would be the same and boring boring boring.

All i can see

is an article stating the bleedin' obvious!
Although it omitted one of my pet hates: stories that begin with a lengthy discourse on how he had blue eyes, brown hair...and she had black hair and large, 44ddd tits; etc, etc...yawn!

Art

I found that there is an Art to everything and feel as though you covered the Art of Writing Smut ...very well

good luck (~_~) Art~

Smut vs Erotica

What is the difference?

...

while i usually write and read a different type of stories, it's quite interesting to read about how to write smut... and of course writing is also about trying out different things, so maybe at some point i should try to write a story that goes more into that direction...

Interesting insight...

This was a most interesting insight into the world of smut writing. I've enjoy most of the submissions but got the most out of this one.

Illuminating

Box... you are a national treasure, a guy who knows what he wants and how to get there.

Well-crafted

and informative--I would NEVER have thought of "oscillating legs."

Love your writing style.

Whatever way you're writing, you're doing it correctly because you make me very turned on! Love your descriptions, and your enthusiasm for sex is very evident. Ive never wanted to meet a porn producer or story writer before, but you have me intrigued! You know what women want....that's a fact!
Just delicious...mmmmmmmm

Taking notes....

because we all know my stories are not smutty enuf.

*winks*

Did not read the story

I voted 5 anyway.

So True

"Your computer will not catch all grammatical mistakes so careful editing for them and for spelling errors is necessary."

Like when you use the term roll-playing instead of role-playing. :wink:

I think you went really, REALLY heavy on the idealized sex here, and you spoke in way too many absolutes. I've been writing smut for a good ten years, and all of that time having it read by a lot of other people, so I feel confident saying I have some degree of authority in this matter. You say to avoid overly flowery or silly words to describe sex organs, then talk about "round hardness?" Come on. You also don't seem to actually know how anal sex works, which is pretty vital if someone wants to write male/male.

Your style may have served you to some degree, but the amount of restrictions and "this always happens" in this article does anyone reading it a great disservice.
