Discussion: smut. Do you write smut? What do you find easy? What do you find difficult?

*if there's anything you'd like to have as a discussion topics then let me know.

I'm working on a first time fic and so far there's two sex scenes and a lot of dialogue with something resembling a plot. Yes it is frustrating.

I only write smut when it's one of those "they have to have sex" ideas that demands to be written and they are occasional. Easy is the communication between the characters and the difficult is writing the sex itself without over analysing it.

I write a lot of smut. Like, years and years worth of it. It's always been easy but growing and having experiences to help shape my writing has been highly beneficial. I still write a lot of first time fics though because they're fun to write.

I draw also but I'm only just recently attempting to draw smutty things. I find it hard because apparently creating a visual format of smut makes me blush like a teenager. xD I've written raunchy stuff before, sometimes with a blush, but drawing it apparently is on level with watching a sex scene in a movie with my mom (which I don't do - I'm almost 30 and I still look away/fast-forward)??

TL:DR - Writing smut is fun and easy for me! xD

I once said to myself, back in the '90s, "I don't think I'll ever write smut." And I said to myself, "I can't see myself writing femslash. I just can't get into the mindset." ... But here I am, a decade and a half later, writing smut on a regular basis, and much of it is femslash. Never say never, I suppose.

As long as I've got a pairing in mind, the porn usually rolls right off the keyboard, so to speak, but I find that I keep including bits of plot, so I suspect that true PWP is the difficult part for me.

dealing with life - submitted last assignment for uni (for the semester). Which means *tomorrow* I got back to writing. Honest.

smut - none written yet. But it is on my list of things to try.
