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.

Heh, I use a porn thesaurus for a lot of stuff when I feel like being clever. Otherwise it's just putting them in different phrases. But yeah, like Kijikun said, it's more like just glaring and growling at it until it behaves. I can't read my own porn fics and be entertained because all I remember is the frustration. >>

Other than that, I have an unhealthy collection of bodice ripping, erotica books that entertain me and give me ideas on how to order my sentences.

What is a porn thesaurus and where might one find one? Mostly because I feel that I need to own something with that awesome a name.

Alas! No one has ever published one (which, considering the sheer amount of romance writers out there, they should), however, here (http://www.mondoerotica.net/sex-porn-thesaurus.html) are a few (http://www.sex-lexis.com/) I've found helpful (http://www.puncat.com/Adult/Arts/Writers_Resources/index.html). REALLY helped when all I could think of was "thrust" for about everything. ><

Seriously. Now I've got like, 2 books I think would be awesome to write. A Porn Thes. and "So Your Girlfriend's a Slasher" and then sell it at anime cons. *dork* ignore me, I'm rambling. Enjoy the links!
