blackfrancine So, I realize I'm way behind on my 30 days of Buffy meme. There's a good reason, really there is. I switched computers, and well... I have a bootleg version of Photoshop--so I have to get my software that keeps Adobe from being able to see that I have a bootleg all set up (because otherwise, the Adobe enforcement team comes and kicks in your door, from what I understand). For some reason it didn't transfer correctly. But, soon. And then there will me more Buffy for everyone!
In the meantime--or memetime (haha--see what I did there?)--I want to do this smut meme from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ceciliaj . Cecilia does the best memes. True facts. Another true fact? Talking about smut is fun.
Defining erotica
1. Do you consider 'bodice ripper' romance novels erotica?
I haven't ever really read any bodice ripper romance novels, but yeah, I think I do.
2. Do you dislike, tolerate, or enjoy explicit sex in fiction or art?
All of the above? I like good explicit sex, and dislike but tolerate bad.
3. What is the maximum rating that you will read?
Any/all--actually, I'm far less likely to read something with a G or PG rating than R or NC-17.
4. Does this vary depending on the medium or author?
Absolutely. Author/artist especially.
5. If you are an author, is the maximum rating for what you write different from what you read?
Not really an author--yet. But, yes. I think I'd feel silly coming up with a bunch of body part euphemisms. I don't think I'd be good at it.
Personal Preferences
6. If it wasn't warned for, and you came across an explicit sex scene, would you skip past it as fast as possible, skim through it, or read it?
Read. If it was in some way offputting, I might start to skim at some point. But I'd start out reading.
7. Do you enjoy BDSM scenes?
Meh. Not really. Occasionally it's okay.
8. What about slave-fic?
No. Not my thing. I've only read one--and it had won a bunch of awards on a gen site, so I kept giving it a chance--but after 8 chapters of some really dark stuff, I just threw in the towel.
9. Do you prefer het, slash, femslash, or multiples?
In this order, I prefer: het, femslash, then slash. I don't think I've read any multiples.
10. What is your favorite pairing (or multiple).
Spike/Buffy. Also love: Logan/Veronica. Wes/Lilah. Barney/Robin. Ron/Hermione. Damon/whoever--Elena I guess, but I'm not picky. Jenna/Alaric. Rory/Jess. April/Andy. Leslie/Ben. Jeff/Britta. Darla/Angel (newly adopted--still on the fence, I think). And my niche-market ship is Bender/Claire from the Breakfast Club.
11. In a sex scene, what turns you on? Doesn't have to be explicit.
Um. Well. I walk a tightrope. I like a little dirty talk--but not dirty, dirty. Like, emotional dirty. If that makes sense. That and... uh... fully clothed ... action.
12. What ruins the mood for you?
God. So many things. Mostly out of character dialogue or action, though.
13. What do you wish writers would include more often in sex scenes?
I don't know. Feelings maybe? Like emotions--but also actual tactile feelings. From POV of a character--not just a blow by blow of the action.
14. What is your biggest squick? The one thing (besides pedophilia) that makes you exit a story and never go back.
Slave stuff/ rape.
Vocabulary: For each group of words, choose the one you prefer.
15. abdomen, abs, stomach, belly, tummy
abdomen or stomach. I absolutely HATE belly and tummy in a sex scene. Gross. It reminds me of baby talk.
16. ass, butt, behind, rear end, derriere
None of these are great. Depends on context, I think any are okay except for derriere, which is absurd.
17. anus, asshole, hole, entrance
Hole.
18. penis, cock, dick, manhood, member
Cock, penis, dick (in that order)
19. testicles, balls, nuts, jewels
None. If you're talking about testicles, you've lost my business.
20. vagina, cunt, pussy, entrance
Depends on the mood, etc. Vagina might be too clinical. The rest are fine.
21. labia, lips, mound
None. I had a traumatic event that scarred me for casual reference to labia. I went to Ozzfest a few years back, and the band Pantera was there. And it was in July in Houston at the Houston Motorspeedway. Where there's no shade anywhere except for behind the port-o-potties. So, my friends and I got a little drunk the night before. And being hung over, I forgot sunblock. I was fried by halfway through the day, and had to hide in the shade of the port-o-potties. But I was basically having a heatstroke or whatever--like I kept passing out. All the while grating heavy metal was playing at untenable volumes. And the lead singer from Pantera kept asking the crowd, "How are you guys? Are y'all sweating your balls and pussy lips off?" HE KEPT SAYING IT. It was awful. Second worst concert experience of my life. So--that tells you that the worst was pretty bad, right? If passing out behind the port-o-potty with 3rd degree burns to scary men yelling about pussy lips isn't even the worst.
22. breasts, boobs, tits/titties, the girls
Breasts. If you use any of the rest of these, the mood is completely going to be lost.
23. have sex, fuck, screw, take, make love
have sex is best for general use. But fuck and take are okay too. Make love is never okay. I've broken up with people for saying those words.
Truth or Dare
24. Fanfic: Do any of your R/L friends or family know you read it? Write it?
Yeah, a couple of people know that I read it.
25. Erotica: Do any of them know you read or write sex scenes?
I don't, so... no, they don't know.
