This may seem an odd question, but...
I have a story idea that will go over several chapters. Although there is a lot of sexual content, the plot does not include sex every chapter. LS is an erotic story site. Would my story be acceptable?
Advice/opinion, please.
s an avid reader of erotica I find stories that jump straight to the sex become boring very quickly. I believe that men and woman have basic different reasons for wanting sex so writing about a woman,s urge for sex from a man,s point of view and vise versa maybe does,nt ring true. Personally I like lots of build up before sex with lots of descriptive paragraphs. I just repeated a word which should not happen in good prose. One of my major disappointments with a lot of writers is the lack of dialogue. In sex scenes too many "aaaaahhhhsss" and too many "oooohhhhs" are a turn off. Much more interesting to "hear" the participants saying phrases like "that's lovely, oh that's nice yes that,s just right, do it a little faster or slower, use longer strokes, shorter strokes. Yes I like that
Let the story flow naturally. Sometimes there is hardly anything sexual going on in a chapter. In the next, it could be filled with erotic scenes. Depends on what's supposed to happen.
Don't use a formula. Let each story dictate that.

There are some really great points being shared here. I like the one that highlights the importance of showing and not telling. Ooos and Ahhhs are lazy.
Let the sex be a part of the story, not the story. Some chapters may not be about sex. That's not what the story needs. It will seemed forced.
That's boring to a serious reader--if that's who you are aiming for.

Take my advice with a huge helping of table salt--I've never written a chapter story--but no, there doesn't have to be sex here, sex there, sex everywhere. The writing and your ability to draw a reader in with that writing is what matters.

Above points are very good. I would just like to add my 2 cents.
From reading the reviews on my stories I have come to understand that the readers love a good build up, they want to get to know the characters and what drives them. What I find the most fun in writing is how to get the characters "in bed" with each other, the seduction, or teasing, or whatever means they use to have sex should , in my opinion, reflect on reality.
- and worth every bit of it!
I'll guess there was some "starch" involved
