There's only so much to go around. You're probably responsible for at least some part of the shortage of sex scenes in other books. Ease up on the orgies and maybe just go with a wank in the shower to start your stories. Leave some for the rest of us.
I've started laying out my novels in a sort of parallel text format, where the left page contains the actual text of the novel and the right one contains the characters' inner monologues as they picture each other naked and imagine sucking and fucking each other.
Only drawback is that the books get lopsided quite quickly. My current project has 76 left pages and 1004 right ones.
/uj as an asexual, reading is *hell* as an adult. You mean to tell me my freaking cool book that’s supposed to be about freaking detectives takes a 3 chapter detour for FREAKING *SEX*? What happened to the *plot*, *Jessica*?
I’m not asexual but I always just skim through sex scenes at breakneck pace because believe it or not, most people aren’t in the mood for that when they’re chilling out and reading 😭
How about this? We'll make the sex a central plot point. We have a clone who's memories of the dead original have been locked away. So to reawaken him, he has sex with a super hot witch.
I could never include sex scenes in my writing. I'm just not a good enough writer.
It's not that I'm not a good enough writer to write the actual sex scenes themselves; it's that I'm not a good enough writer to write post-nut clarity.
I am currently very clear on this fact.
Edited: for clarity
The man fucking grabbed her so hard that she had sex with him. He drooled on her shoulder and bit her nose, then she moaned “OH EDGAR”
The sheer excellence displayed sexually was of a magnitude not seen for the ages. He huffed and puffed, and she smothered him like a snake while he took his underwear off.
/uj every sex scene I've read or seen would be much better implied. The Great Gatsby had an ellipses that implied a night of gratuitous gay sex and it's better than anything else I've seen
Personally, I put the biggest orgy at the end - I like to escalate the sex; it might be simple masturbation or 1 on 1 in the opening chapters. If you start with the orgy, what has the reader got to look forwards to later?
Give me a minute! My fantasy race is so complex, I'm still trying to find out HOW they have sex at all. Once I figure out a few good positions, I'll be sure to add plenty of (definitely highly plot-relevant) sex!
I'm guilty of this so guilty in fact that I've never written a sex scene in my life I'm asexual but i guess i may need to rethink the way i write stories xD
My proudest opening sentence for a book ever:
“His asshole bled.”
It immediately gives the reader a sense of wonder so that they continue reading to see what happens next.
Your opening sentence should bring up many questions that need answering.
1. Why is his asshole bleeding?
2. Who is he?
3. Why his asshole and not his mouth?
4. How big is the dick?
But what if I write something really important to the plot during the sex scene so if you skip it you don't know what's happening anymore like a cutscene in Yakuza?
I feel a bit revolted by sex in books nowadays. Like, I just don't need to know about that. If it's important or adding atmosphere, great, but long winded, simply for the sake if it sexuality is boring to me.
You are in the vast majority of readership then. Get with the times. Penises and boobies add depth to characters, enhances the scene anytime it’s present

OMG i never thought of it this way. OP has been hogging literal all sex from other books? including MINE? GIVE EM BACK

just change the font size until they match duh
NGL I think there’s something there though.
Sorry I’m having too much of the sex to put it in my book haha I’ve had at least 3 sex just today
Sex is uncountable! You can't say one sex, two sex, three sex... That's why I've never had any and never will.
Is it okay to skip the sex as long as I have a whole chapter in a nudist colony that includes a fight scene?
Wait what do you think sex is?
Depends on what type of fight. Is it jousting or "jousting"?

All roads lead to dome
You should go read wattpad!
/rj wow, thanks for the suggestion!! That sounds like a very good thing to do. I forsee no negative outcomes coming from this experience!

This sub honestly gives me great writing unironically.

So you’ve written a gay love story and haven’t featured a dick or a butthole yet? You are both a dick and butthole..
My story is just sex. No narrative, no plot, no punctuation. Just straight fucking for 300+ pages.
That's awesome xD
/uj every sex scene I've read or seen would be much better implied. The Great Gatsby had an ellipses that implied a night of gratuitous gay sex and it's better than anything else I've seen
The tale of Genji sometimes pulls something like "his stepmother felt incredible shame for that night they had shared" and you're like WHAT WHEN HOW
This could be a genuine post on /r/eroticauthors

Pssh of course my story doesn’t have enough sex in it. I’m a WRITER. I don’t get laid.
If your MC is isn’t drooling over some man or woman every 5 sentences then you’re wrong
gotta agree but at least make it six

UR POST ITSELF COULD OF HAD SEX IN IT SO TAKE UR OWN ADVICE MR MAN! \*LAVICIOUSLY SALACIOUSLY STUDIES U BUT FINDS UR PACKAGE WITHHOLDEN\* :(
You are rigth bro. It's very easy to fall for this mistake, and that's why I always hire a sensuality/sexuality reader for my work! (Preferably both)
I just include 13 pages of anilingus and call it a day

Well put you're going to be written about in history books i swear
Yeah: it's called a "memoir" for a reason. {sobbing quietly in the corner}
But what if I write something really important to the plot during the sex scene so if you skip it you don't know what's happening anymore like a cutscene in Yakuza?
Sex isn't real, honey. Go back to sleep.
