What do you like to see in smut? anonymous February 21 2011, 22:06:35 UTC
Like, what words/phrases always get you? (What words would you hate to see?) Do you like seeing a lot of description? Is it better to focus more on the feelings rather than the actions? What's too cliche?

what words/phrases always get you?

Any mention to sounds, especially the flesh-to-flesh kind. Pants, grunts, moans, whimpers, slaps, pops, groans, the more obscene the better. I also like drooling from too much sensation. Any mention to a character's youth is...UNF. And words about the tightness felt after penetration, and words that leave it ambiguous if the character is feeling pain, pleasure, or both.

What words would you hate to see?

Butt and pussy. They make me snort. WRITING IN CAPS WHAT SOMEONE SAYS WHILE COMING. A character repeating the other's name constantly bad Bleach feelings. Some characters keening make me backbutton quickly.

Do you like seeing a lot of description?

Yes, especially of the sensual kind. But I prefer good dialogue (fluffy or snarky, teasing or sensual) over it

Is it better to focus more on the feelings rather than the actions?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! >.<
I hate it. Unfortunately, it's the most common practise.

What's too cliche?Both characters coming at the same time (also improbable as hell). Sex ( ... )

I like detailed descriptions of sounds, feel, smell and taste. I like rough, panting, headboard slamming sex. Detailed blowjobs. Pubic hair and non-circumcised penises. I like rimming, felching, intercrural, masrurbation, fingering, using toys, roleplay and begging. I hate ukes and semes, virginity in 99% of the characters and characters being OOC.

I love description that makes me see and feel what the characters are seeing and feeling, rather than being told that "he did that and he responded by doing that and he moaned and it felt good." The sensory description, as long as it doesn't wax too poetic, is what REALLY gets me, no matter what is happening. Honestly I will read ANYTHING as long as the description hits the right buttons--and if it hits it well enough, I might even jump kink ( ... )

:)

And I've definitely jumped kink before - the meme's gotten me into D/s and some forms of watersports, because they were written in a way that pushed my buttons and it was obvious that the characters were enjoying themselves.

I hate "pucker" for asshole (reminds me of fish). Also, bad grammar/tons of typos: okay, you get a little excited writing your smut; we've all been there, but edit before you post.

Everything else really depends on the scene and the characters. First and foremost I want something that fits into the story. Assuming a PWP, the more description the better. I don't actually mind digressions on [A's true love for B/what C had for lunch that day/D's Thoughts on Pain] as long as they fit the overall mood.

I like humor and people not taking themselves too seriously. Also, dialogue that isn't "Fuuuuck/hnng/goddamn" or just grunting.

The thing that gets me, for reasons I don't understand, is descriptions of the characters becoming aroused. Not the whole process, that's way too general, obviously, but the, well, if I may use a totally dated reference, the "sha-wing" moment? Where the character goes from neutral to definitely turned on.

I can't read smut that's heavy on the emotions, but sensations is good (so it depends what you mean by feelings, I guess :) ). Description yes, as long as it avoids becoming flowery - with too little description sex scenes blend together so much.

My don't-likes are pretty much the usual with a few specific variations: none of the awkward euphemisms like weeping cock, orbs of flesh, etc, or even the relatively non-obnoxious "entrance" for anus. It just jars me. And "sex" when used as a euphemism for the genitalia. I know some people like it, but I can't stand it.

Is it better to focus more on the feelings rather than the actions?

Unless it's a truly amazing author, I will not read smut that focuses on actions. Most of it sounds like it was c/p from Every Other Smut Fic and honestly bores me. Now, the emotional focus can also come across like that but I find there is better variety. And emotional connections are a big unf for me, so it works. However the best smut fic will always be the one that perfectly balances feelings & actions.

What's too cliche?

Seme/uke stereotypes. I will hit the backspace button so hard if you define the characters' personalities by their sexual positions.

I hate seeing characters defined by their positions (ie weepy uke/ all-grrr seme), or having lots of random Japanese (or any other!) words sprinkled to make the fill seem more legit. Gundam Wing sort of thing.

Feelings is good. Descriptions is good. Sound is something that's rarely used in smut scenes and I think very under-used. How something feels on skin, and realistic taste are others.

Descriptive sex. Please please please describe for me exactly what they're doing, how it feels for them, etc in lavish detail and do not skimp out on that detail. Describe what attracts the characters to each other, both physical aspects and otherwise. Describe what they're wearing, too. Also partially clothed sex is awesome and there should be more of it. Equal detailed focus on feelings and actions is preferable to me.

As for dislikes, I hate hate hate "member" as an euphemism for penis. That isn't arousing at all. Also please avoid "cunt". Otherwise most words can work fine when used well.

Cliche? Penetration. Non-penetrative sex is glorious and there should be more of it. Frotting and intercural (thigh sex) are incredibly hot and yet so underrepresented because insert penis into anus (or vagina) is the primary form of sex written. Seme/uke dynamics also are beyond overstaying their welcome. As someone else said, too, coming at the same time is overdone, as is the women only coming once in het and yuri fics.

While I don't find penetrative sex cliché per se, I agree that non-penetrative is hot, het or slash. We need more of it on the meme.
