Tiffany A. Erotica writhes, clutching the blanket, screaming
like a fax machine as she comes. Her nerves are a tingle, and she
is washed away to the planet orgasm.
Wait a minute. Didn’t your previous characters seem a lot like her? Didn’t they do the same things? Blow job. Straight Sex. The big O. Is repetition creeping into your work without you even noticing it? Much like in real life, as your relationship with erotica develops over the years, your writing can get as stale as
a married couple having only missionary sex once a week.
The solution. Tiffany A. Erotica needs to kick off her frumpy terry cloth house robe and get her ass in gear. She needs to spark up her love life and do it the old-fashioned way.
Research. It’s time to self help herself to a new libido and add some sizzle to her repertoire. How can she bring zip and zing to
your story ideas? Here are some tips to help her.
A) She should start at the book store and expand her base knowledge. No more recipe magazines for her. Women’s magazines slanted for sex are what she needs, the ones she stopped reading ten years ago because she figured she was
married. Notebook in hand, she needs to take notes on those articles about having a threesome and doing it at the zoo.
B) After that, she should inch her way over to the men’s
section. Guys have their own mags slanted for sex, babes,
cocktails and hot topics, and they all aren’t wrapped in
cellophane. Men want to know the dirty, too. She finds an
article on thirty new ways to please your lover. Several of
them, like ice cube play, she’s never even
heard of.
C) Back at home, she fires up the computer. Armed with her
rising titillation, she uses the Internet as the tool it was
meant to be. A search engine for sex. She uses “sex tips”
and “sexual positions” as some search word examples and
comes up with a plethora of new knowledge, amazed that even
the good old stand by Mr. Missionary doesn’t have to be
boring. She had no idea you could rest your ankles on your
lover’s shoulders and stick your toes in your lover’s mouth.
D) Follow that link. Tiffany clicks on a sex toy site. Another
wonderful place for what’s new and what’s hot. Here is a
sexual education they didn’t teach you in grammar school.
E) Next, she decides to go on a field trip because she’s
feeling frisky. She wants to lure her husband into her den
of sin with a new look, and what better places to find that
look, than the lingerie store and the leather fetish shop
around the corner. Her terry cloth robe goes in the trash.
Now she has a nice new pink PVC camisole, black leather
skirt and fuck me shoes to wear for dinner, and after, a
thong, white and tight, and not much else.
F) And then, not happy with that, she opts for a complete make
over. Having been a leggy blond with full breasts for the
last six stories, she wants a new look. Unlike a real
person, who can drop twenty pounds after dieting forever and
maybe getting a perm, Tiffany can change completely. She
clips dozens of new images for herself. What about a full
figured red head with a great ass or a tom boy who likes to
wear too tight jeans, accidently displaying a camel toe?
Finally, no longer the bored housewife, Tiffany puts her new
found information into a sex file, a place where a new idea can
be found at a moment’s notice. She’s not going to let herself get
stale anymore. Writhing and screaming like a fax machine may be
fine once in a while, but she wants more.
