The big question: 'How do I write smut?'
That's the big question, isn't it? Here are a few easy steps to write a smut scene:
Step 1: Getting ready
It may not seem important at first sight, but believe me, it is. Before you engage in a smutty scene, you should be prepared for it. Psychologically ready included because some things might be shocking at first. And most likely you'll feel insecure and embarrassed about writing that scene - don't freak out, it happens to everyone when they get started, it's something natural. But be assured, there are few ways to screw it.
Now that we settled that, let's skip to the technical / theoretical part. Before you write smut, you should know a few things about the act itself, so a little research is needed here (for virgins is a must, but those already experienced in the real life act can also do that research). There are tons of way to do this! The most common are: books, movies, fanfiction and rps. The most accurate source would be a person with experience, but I'm aware that asking for details about sex may be uncomfortable. Still, if you ask someone, keep in mind that said person will tell you from their point of view and from what they've tried and there are a dozen more ways to go for it. The most-accurate-less-uncomfortable-source is... book! Not Fifty shades of Grey - definitely not. And, while I personally like Sandra Brown's novels, they don't fit for any kind of smut - they're mainly for the rough and lustful ones. Not for vanilla or, at least, not judging by the books by her that I've read. Anyway, most romance novels get to sex at some point, so it's easy to find some reference there. Sure, they are not always realistic, but they are one of the options more close to the reality. Then again, depends on the book. Don't worry, it's rather easy to notice what's realistic and what's unrealistic regardless the experience you have. For the body part - anatomy and functionality - go for professional books. Guides. Or manuals. You'd be surprised to know how helpful a school manual can be (of course, it doesn't tell you how to write smut, but it does tell you how certain parts work). The classic Kamasutra is also a very useful option. And to your luck: if you're embarrassed to go to the library for such books (or don't want to spend money on them), the internet is a bless. We all know how many copy you can find online. Oh, and I know you may have a little problem with finding details about yuri, yaoi, BDSM and so on... internet is your savior here.
Movies - porn - are another way of research. However, they lack some accuracy and are mostly a little taken overboard. Honestly, some things you see there are either impossible or a cause of major damage for the body if you apply them in rl. Though I suppose they may serve good as kinks in rp... well, some of them.
Fanfiction. Alright, so that's still something written and you're probably wondering what I didn't put it in the same category with the books. Simply because: books are written by people with experience; fanfictions are written by amateur (no offence) fans. They are likely to be less reliable than the books. I'll admit, though, that some fanfics are mind-blowing and very useful as reference.
Roleplays. True, there are not many places where such scene are public, be it because of rules or because people don't feel comfortable leaving it at sight for millions of other people. In any case, you can still look up for them. You will find. Try to find quality ones, though. If not, start your own - practice makes perfection.
Also, you could try writing a smut scene of your own before roleplaying smut. It helps.
Step 2: Know the character(s)
This is pretty much part of 'Getting ready' but I felt like I should emphasize it. Now, why do you need to know the character(s) ? So you have less chances to get stuck! Know your character, know what he/she likes, know what he/she is like and acts like during the act. It'd be useful to know the rp partner's character so well too, but if you want to be sure you got it well: ask your partner about his/her character.
Step 3: Picture it
Now that you know a few things about the act and you know your character, you can start picturing a scene. Maybe planning a big part of the action. Be flexible, though - your partner, while not reading your thoughts, may make his/her character act/react in such a way that your character can't do what you initially planned. Then again, you don't have to have it all planned out, you just need a point to start from.
It's all about imagination, baby!
Use your imagination, use your creativity. The act can be different from one person to another.
Step 4: Write it
As I said, the act differs from person to person - from roleplayer to roleplayer and from character to character. So there isn't a fixed way to write it right. Still, here are some things you should keep in mind (in random order):
- It's not just a physical act, but also emotional. Yes, feelings are involved. Moreover when it comes to women. So don't avoid that aspect.
- The situation the characters are in is very important.
- Let it flow. Don't make too abrupt actions. Make it believable.
- For couples: don't forget the foreplay. Yes, they may be eager and in a rush and all that, but a little foreplay makes it all better.
- Don't forget about the other character's feelings.
- And don't forget about talking, especially if the other character is a virgin.
- Aaand... don't forget the kiss. It's both a turn on and an assurance.
- Vaginal and anal are not the only ways.
- I kind of said it before, but...just in case...make sure your character (or the partner's) doesn't break any bone.
- If you get stuck and don't know what the character should react, put yourself in his/her place. Think about what you would feel. Then adapt it to your character's personality.
- Don't make it too short. A good smut scene doesn't take only 5 lines. Nope, it takes more. Besides, if it's too short, no one will have fun.
- Women like to hear sweet words after sex. A 'I love you' or a compliment or something would be very appreciated. And comforting.
- Detailed is good.
- Kinky or taboo is fine as long as both rpers agree to it, but remember that there's a thin like between certain kinks and being gross. Also, not everyone is into kinks, so make sure your partners is fine with them before including them into the smut scene.
- Don't use scientific terms. Nope, never use them when writing smut. Never ever. (I've seen it happening before)
