More Boring Smut

[resonant]

Boring sex scene warning #2: "The rhythmic contractions were enough to push him over the edge too."

(Continuing the rant I began here.)

Politically, I find it a little unsettling that slashers, of all people, continue to consider the simultaneous orgasm to be the pinnacle of erotic fantasy.

As a reader, I'm about as happy with a two-orgasms-in-one-sentence special as I would be about a combined Christmas and birthday gift.

I like stories where A comes, and then opens his eyes to see B watching him, just holding back so he can see. I like stories where X comes when Y is right on the edge and going nearly crazy because of the delay. I like stories where M comes, and N grins at him, and then there's a nice long pause and a drink of water and some talking about what to do next before they get started again.

What I don't like are stories where J gets an orgasm and K gets a footnote.

"Ah -- christ, yes, just there, just -- ahh!" he cried, and his movements lost all rhythm as he crushed their mouths together and came.*

God, you are so right. I've gotten to the point where skim through the sex until I can find the plot again. PWPs all seem to read the same, so why even bother?
