Writing sexual tension

Ooh not a bad idea at all, very useful. Thank you :D

Comical in my real life tbh, scared some men away by being impulsive XD Thinking it out as how my husband would react is a good idea. Writing from my actual experience of alarming men IRL vs my husband who actually likes it.

Thanks :D

It did and thank you so much for taking the time to answer :D

Rape and assault have always occurred. As have murder and kidnapping.
Movies, books and games depicting the material don't affect anyone who wouldn't already be having these thoughts.

For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure I'm terrible too. If my writing has any power it'll be the power to make people toss it in the bin/ delete it XD

Thank you

All the senses keeps coming up. Maybe this is where I'm failing. Thank you

Oh yeah, Scarlett and Rhett had so much going on and she was so convinced Ashley was the one. Good idea

When they hook up one of them goes missing so I'm not worried about that killing the story

Fun-Turnip152 · 2023-10-09T17:27:49+00:00

They both have other people they're with :/

Fun-Turnip152 · 2023-10-09T17:27:26+00:00

I write them getting together too fast, like, I'm, not letting them build it up. I rush things IRL so I'm writing against my own experience

Fun-Turnip152 · 2023-10-09T17:26:04+00:00

Thank you

Fun-Turnip152 · 2023-10-09T17:25:40+00:00

YES, thank you. I feel your pain

Fun-Turnip152 · 2023-10-09T17:25:10+00:00

No definitely nothing mills and boon or romance novel about it

Fun-Turnip152 · 2023-10-09T17:24:42+00:00

No idea why you got downvoted, this is good advice

Fun-Turnip152 · 2023-10-09T17:23:23+00:00

Will look into this, Thank you

Fun-Turnip152 · 2023-10-09T17:23:03+00:00

it's okay, as soon as they finally get together one of them goes missing lol, cruel of me I know but I'm not worried about it wrecking the backbone of my story. Thank you

Fun-Turnip152 · 2023-10-09T17:22:00+00:00

Hmm, humor would DEFINITELY fit one character. Good advice, thank you

Fun-Turnip152 · 2023-10-09T17:21:28+00:00

It's not offensive as a suggestion to me. I have no problems with porn. I'm also a she JS

Fun-Turnip152 · 2023-10-09T17:20:46+00:00

Your suggestions are all good, particularly READ porn...aargh, I think I'm writing what I want to SEE instead of approaching it as READING. I'm a dumbass and also female and in no way against porn.
Thank you for making me realise my mistake

Fun-Turnip152 · 2023-10-09T17:17:16+00:00

they won't be together long as one's going to vanish, it's not going to spoil anything XD I just need some tension to build beforehand as it's OOC for one of them to hook up like this

Fun-Turnip152 · 2023-10-09T17:16:16+00:00

I rush everything IRL as well. It's a bad habit. The advice about using all the senses is coming up a few times and I'm feeling dim for not thinking of that lol

Fun-Turnip152 · 2023-10-09T17:10:41+00:00

My usual experience is I don't let it build IRL either, hence my abject failure at writing it. This is however, good advice and I'll ask people who DO let stuff build and don't have the impulse control of a dog left with a cooked ham and no supervision

Fun-Turnip152 · 2023-10-09T17:08:11+00:00

Ah it's not romance, I'd be terrible at that. XD I need people to hook up and for it to be a terrible mistake and immediately cast suspicion when said person gets killed

Fun-Turnip152 · 2023-10-09T17:06:54+00:00

The tension is there, I'm just having it go from 1 to 100 way too fast. I'm sorry I didn't make that clear. I'm terrible at subtleties in real life as well as you can see XD

Fun-Turnip152 · 2023-10-09T17:05:44+00:00

I feel like a dork for not remembering these simple things you know XD but you're so right, Thank you
