Kissing scenes are maddeningly hard to write (how many ways are there to say "then A stuck his tongue in B's mouth" without sounding cliched or stupid?). I don't know how people who regularly write pwps do it without repeating themselves all over the place.

I've only done like, three R rated pieces with relatively strong erotic content, and by the third I was like, too through. "Ugh, I said this already. I can understand why people default to purple prose."

I'll be like, swimming out of the deep end and back into the shallow end of snark and the odd level look.

Never underestimate the power of bad romance novels to seep into your brain and stay there forever - at least, I put some of the purple prose in sex scene sdown to the fact that a lot of people's first exposure to textual sex scenes comes from romance novels (if it doesn't come from fandom).
