Sex Positions

[RapeU]

There are plenty of stories that include it: 69, missionary, doggystyle, on the couch, on the table, etc. But a lot of stories don't talk about the realistic part of sexual positions. Some sex positions are awkward, some difficult to get into, and some once you're in the position are difficult to maintain.

I find it interesting that a lot of times stories avoid the awkwardness entirely, as if it's being told through rose tinted glasses. You normally don't see any awkwardness when you read about 69, just that the pair are sucking each other off and it somehow just works without any awkwardness or discomfort.

In my Hannah and Wendy lesbian stories, I *could* write Hannah and Wendy scissoring each other, but real life lesbian friends have confirmed to me that scissoring is a mythological porno position that is incredibly awkward to do in real life and doesn't generate the desired pleasure that pornos depict.

I also *could* write in a strap on dildo and have one of them fuck the other like a man, but realistically what woman would fuck like a man when she isn't experiencing the same pleasure as a man does? The dildo with double ends is a possibility, but I suspect it's also a porno myth that's more awkward to pull off in real life than someone might think.

What do you think? Would a more realistic depiction of sex positions in stories be better? Or do you prefer avoiding the awkwardness and enjoying the good parts of sex?

I'm not sure adding realism would help that much, though I'd say to authors in general to do what you fancy. My concern is this: in ravishment stories, there's often quite a struggle, and not that many sexual positions are amenable to using on an uncooperative partner. If you get to realistic about the mechanical difficulties, you have to also get realistic about the entire dynamics.

More broadly, I say go with what gets your rocks off. In all my stories, the victim and the hero generally never worry about pregnancy or diseases. I mean, not only does it not happen, but they don't even worry it will happen. Why? Because the friendly author yours truly finds those things unsexy. In a more realistic story I may throw them in, but it's hardly common. I also frequently have the rapists rape the girl's mouth, and that's supremely risky if you throw in too much realism. So 69 fails if you have too much realism.

These are my aesthetic opinions only, of course. I don't think Hannah and Wendy need more fictional lesbo action. My own stories tend to the whimsical and sometimes downright absurd at times, so a little something like awkwardness won't get in my way. I do try to draw the line at impossible positions. I tend to visualize the scenes, to make sure the guy doesn't have two hands pinning her, one tweaking her nipple, and another clasping her mouth. If I'm trying to convey confusion, though, I'll be deliberately vague or contradictory.

I often use magic or scifi devices to set up impossible positions or situations on purpose, such as self 69 through a portal, but if you want as an author to make things ultra realistic you can

I like to think I’m writing fantasies, and as with every fantasy story you provide enough details to get the readers mind engaged so their mind fill in the glaring holes in my storytelling. So adding more details to the actual act, will be more limiting to what the readers fantasy can do.

Let’s try examples here
1) she hated seeing his face hovering over her, distorted in animalistic pleasure as he fucked her brutally. Do i really need to specify that they are likely in a variation of missionary.

2) his hot breath at the back of her neck, coming in rapid succession frightened her as much as him fucking her. Does anybody really need a clear depiction on how they are oriented to each other?

I’m writing for an adult readership, so I take it as a given, that the basic function of sex is known. Describing the mechanics of a rape, does not necessarily make the scene more exciting. Sometimes just conjuring up the necessary imagery in the readers mind can be enough.

The more often I respond to these questions, the more I notice on how much information I simply not provide. I must be one lazy ass of an author.

WE MUST NEVER......
- allow the truth to get in the way of a good story!!!!

I, for one, would love to imagine licking my own pussy through an interdimensional portal!! - I will make it my agenda to read that story!!!!

@Vela Nanashi got you covered there. Portals are a regular occurence in her stories.

I love that concept so it is in more than one of my stories, and also part of my very very failed attempt at starting a community role play thing

When I first started writing erotica, I often forgot "small details" like the awkwardness of a 6-feet tall man standing behind a girl who's just 5-1 and forcing her to take him bent over! He'll have to keep his legs bent the whole time and it will be uncomfortable at best. Now I'm a lot more experienced, and before writing a sex/rape scene, I always think of such details. I will, for example, state that a table is at the ideal height for tall men to enjoy the girl on, and when a shorter man takes his turn, he'll move her into a different position, perhaps on the floor so he can have her on all fours or just get on top of her­.

It depends on the context. If the men are on high adrenaline and crazy-horny in the immediate aftermath of a battle with their face still stinging with gunpowder, they won't bother with fancy stuff. They'll typically push her down to the ground and take their turns on top of her. In "The Last Command", the fat Captain takes Consuelo bent over while she's still clothed, so he just pushes her dress and petticoat and bunch up the whole bundle at her waist and then he directly thrashes her. This indicates the fat Captain isn't all that tall.

I had this scene crystal-clear in my mind since I watched the movie and had the idea of making a story out of this. The Captain rapes Consuelo from behind while a whole bunch of horny soldiers hold her in place while ripping her dress and taking a knife to cut the lacings behind her corset. This really depends on the context. Undressing a girl back in 1836 was nothing like modern rebels in Africa who rip the summer clothes off a tourist's girlfriend.

Also depends on a writer's preference. Since I'm a foot man, I love scenes where the girls gets it on a table with her legs propped up. So I will make the table high or low enough for this to happen. Sex with the girl on a coffee table is very awkward at best, unless the girl is kneeling and taken from behind while resting her torso on it. Or unless the man is a dwarf raping Rachel Zegler.

Another position I really like to depict is the girl riding her rapists, but this won't happen if the girl isn't fully submissive. With the proper threats and inducement, yes, it can absolutely happen. Same for sucking cocks without the man pinching her jaw hard. Quite frankly, I wouldn't ever risk my cock inside the mouth of a girl who hates me; I would just masturbate and give her a hot vanilla milkshake on her stupid face!

So yes, I give a lot of thought to positions because I want my stories to be believable. In general, in the context of a mass rape just after a battle, missionary with all men taking their turns fast is the surefire realistic way. And the fun will be one-sided. Men who want to sodomize her will flip her around, that's a given

There's no laziness in this! Some writers are natural geniuses in the art of implicitation! They just know what to write explicitly and what to leave to the readers' imagination.
