Need help with new ideas

Right ladies and gents,

Need some inspiration to write short erotic stories (around 1-2 pages).  Basically,  I write to a male friend and he writes back but it's basically erotica, mainly for fun and well, you know ;)

But I'm stuck for sexier ideas and explaining things in a more sensual way...........writers block :(

Is there anyone willing to help chuck a few suggestions my way?

Thank you in advance x

Do you spend time just writing? Not stories, just putting words together. Can be good practice and sometimes a phrase can spin off into a full piece.

no i don't :( i mean i write non-fiction sci-fi/paranormal type but sexual, i just can't think of ways to explain things at the moment lol

Dear Blueeyes82

When it comes to explaining things be it situatons or actions I like to use method writing. In other words some times I act out what I am trying to write. There is a particular story I wrote over a year ago which is a strip and masturbation scene, and the descriptions only came out so good because i took the time to visualize what I was thinking and what i wanted to say. Below is a portion of it for you to look over. 

 

Alex sometimes liked to picture herself as a stripper in a sleazy club which was always a good way to get herself in the mood for a little self exploration. She started to dance like she was on stage slowly lifting off her top, a purple t shirt with a barbed wire pattern over it, gently teasing it up her body she pulled it up and over her head throwing it at the chair on which was a 4 foot teddy bear she had won in a carnival game a few years back. She often pretended she was giving it a private dance. She danced a little more before she slipped a finger underneath the clasp on the front of her sheer black bra and with practiced ease spun herself around, and  looking back at the teddy bear unclipped her bra bending forward a little spanking her ass with both hands, and letting the bra fall open.

Slowly Alex leaned backwards and her bra slid down her arms stopping at her wrists, she held it out with one hand and turned herself around again facing the teddy bear with her free arm covering her ample breasts. She spun her bra around above her head like a lasso and threw it at the chair. Alex played with her nipples a little gently squeezing them between her fingers and slowly caressing around the edges with her finger tips.

“Is this what you like to see baby? Does it turn you on when I play with my tits?” 

Smiling at the bear and seeming pretty pleased with her performance so far Alex turned around once again sticking her ass out a little and bending forward running her hands up her legs to her tight black leather skirt, she looked back at the bear again and teased the zipper all the way down. Slipping her fingers underneath her skirt Alex moved them round from her inner thighs to her sides and sexily she pulled at the skirt, jerking it just enough for the top of her matching G string panties to show.

“Would you like to see my tight toned ass baby?”

Alex smiled and once again jerked at her skirt this time just enough to loosen it.

“Well there you go.”

She let go of the skirt and it slid down her legs to the ground. She stepped out of her skirt and kicked it back underneath the chair. Bending her knees Alex slowly lowered herself till with open legs her ass was an inch off the floor, supporting herself with one hand she moved forward lowering herself down on to her knees and she simultaneously ran her other hand up her ass giving it a little smack. She seductively played like a jungle cat, rolling onto her back and moving her hands up and down her body, she moaned kicking her legs up then spinning them around till she was once again standing up in front of the bear.

I hope that gives you some idea of the kind of thing you were talking about. Simple ideas are always the best when it comes to short stories as I have been finding out. Always remember to write from you're heart and you should be fine.

Hope this helps and  you write lots and lots.   

thank you x

You're very welcome.  

 how about looking at others work to see if there's styles or phrases you like?
literotica.com has some really good written erotica

Play with words and phrases. Try to find new ways of saying things - experiment with more crude language, then re-write the same scene using flowerier, descriptive language. See which you like better, then mix the two. That change in vocabulary can be useful for conveying two (or more!) characters' differing attitudes to the same actions, which in itself helps to make each character distinct in the reader's mind.

Concentrate on the emotions and sensations behind the sex, and how that interplay affects the characters. What is each of them trying to do? What do they think the other is trying to do? Are they right? If you can make each movement, each act, have a deeper meaning than the purely physical, then the whole scene takes on a tension that can help to re-create and re-inforce the visceral thrill you'd get from actually being there.

Likewise, break each action down into its component parts, and identify which one is the key to the tension in the scene. Again, the aspects of any advance one character makes, that the other focuses on, can shed light on what each is trying to do for the other.

Above all,  enjoy the scene. Enjoy the rollercoaster of events and giving the readers (through the characters) just enough twists and turns to excite them, but not enough to make them feel ill!

Happy scribing!

This forum is fabulous, thank you x

Everything MrMr suggested would make great writing exercises. That's the kind of thing I was leading to with my question about your practice.

If you're stuck, give yourself the space to just write. Forget about conventions like structure, plot, dialogue, grammar or making a 'finished' product. It's like a guitarist messing about with riffs exploring possibilities and expanding technique. Maybe you find new ideas while you're doing so, maybe you develop your skills. Either way it's good.

Dammit! As a guitarist and lover of good analogies, I really should have come up with that myself!

Also, try writing things that your friend gives you the cues for, then provide hjim with ideas for his next piece.You know, a setting, an act, a position, a prop or toy. . .the possibilities are endless, and being forced to write something you haven't picked yourself might just give you a way in to writing the scene from a different angle.
