I'm a big fan of sex stories. The problem with a lot of stories is that, frankly, they suck. As an amateur science-fiction writer (Not just Sex Stories) I have a few tips:

1. Read. Seriously. The best writers are often very prolific readers. Anne McCaffrey, in multiple interviews, complained of not having enough shelves for all of the books that she owned. I'm a very prolific reader - I try to read every day. Read various stuff, Scifi, mystery, comedy.

2. Don't be afraid to let other writers influence you. Good writers borrow from one another. Great writers Steal. :) (Seriously, don't steal from another writer. That was a joke.)

3. Detail = GOOD!!!!!!!!!! I hate stories where it's like, "They undressed each other and had sex." DETAIL, DETAIL, DETAIL. Moment-by-moment if you have to! It's hard to go wrong with too much detail. It's easy to go wrong with too little detail.

I don't consider myself a good writer but it is a wonderful release.

I have PTSD issues and erotic writing distracts me from that.

I get most of my ideas from role playing with attractive women and find a lot of pleasure in those exchanges.

If I was writing a serious work I would do the research, proof read etc. but this is porn at least, stimulating erotica at its best and in my opinion not worth too much effort.

Umm that's alright dude, I don't need advice from someone who can't use paragraphs in their writing. I've been writing the same way since I was a little kid and I don't plan on changing it anytime soon because I have gotten a lot of recognition for it. Thanks anyway
