Five Acts!
Here's how it works:
+ Post a list of your five favorite acts/kinks to read about. Check out this list if you need some inspiration. At the bottom of your post, add what fandoms/pairings you're interested in.
+ Read other people's lists; the master list of lists is here.
+ Post comment-fic based off of other people's interests.
+ Once you've posted your list, post the link in the comments here so that people know how to find you.
1. Pining - oh man, where do I start? Longing looks, total obliviousness, ridiculous misinterpretations, HEAPS of UST. I think my favorite is where both have a crush on each other but neither realizes it. Or in a poly fic, where a character is torn between two loves and eventually figures out that she can have both.
2. One night stands, hook-ups, casual sex, enemy sex - preferably not anonymous sex, but sex without much emotional build-up. Could be just getting their rocks off or maybe they're pretending that they're not in love (see act #1) or one is more invested than the other. Morning afters are like the cherry on the cake!
3. Humiliation - not so much into people being embarrassed in general, but someone being humiliated in a sexual context (e.g. being called a slut, or restrained in a vulnerable position, or someone revealing a shameful kink) especially when the person feels humiliated and aroused at the same time and the humiliation just feeds into how hot it is - yeah.
4. Consent issues - bulletproof kink. Dub-con, non-con, power differentials, mind games, outside influences (sex pollen, aliens made them do it, slavery AUs, etc)... if it's dirtybadwrong in the best way, I'm there.
5. Genital "torture" - an unusual kink but one I really love. Particularly spanking and sounding. As long as it's pleasurable or at least that the pain is enjoyable (i.e. not actual torture and definitely not any kind of mutilation.) Variations I like include figging (application of ginger to delicate membranes), genital piercing, pain during penetration (as long as it's not like... things tearing/blood gushing) and overstimulation. Hot wax and clamps/weights are not as interesting to me. (Link to a list of Literotica forum discussions about genital torture.)
Some other tropes I like in no particular order:
Trapped or stranded together
Journeys and road trips
Fairy tales
Sleep and bedding themes
Women topping men
Slavefic, darkfic
AUs in general
Omegaverse, knotting
Meta and social commentary
Loss of control
Orgasm denial/edging/forced orgasm
Fingers/fingerfucking/sucking on fingers
Temperature contrast, heat, cold, climate
Taste/smell as an erotic element
