Question

Writing a quotcleanquot sex scene?
Im writing a short story about a young couple and I know I want them to have sex, its kinda the main plot if you will. Ive never written one before, but Ive read a few. Im not a fan of graphic scences so how would you recommend I go about it?

Answer

Ahh, clean sex scenes. My favourite.brbrJust black them out. Despite me being hugely AntiTwilight, its a perfect example for a blackout sex scene.brbrIts kind of like a timeskip. You dont actually DESCRIBE the sex. Sophie Kinsella is also good at blackout sex scenes. Its mostly something like this heres one Im just making up at the top of my headbrbrHe grabbed her arms and pulled her towards him, and at the contact of their skin, a mixture of emotions shot straight into her system desire, lust, and excitement. Everywhere he touched she felt a sizzling burning feeling, and her breath kept coming in shorter as more seconds ticked by. From the way his hands were moving, it was pretty easy to tell that their desires were mutual.brbrHe reached up and pulled her deeper into the covers with him, into a neverending abyss of pleasure and desire.brbrbrbrthats the best youll get from me at this timebrbrThen after that, end the chapter section whatever. Start new, after the sex. Show them waking up in bed together, whatever. BUT its crucial you end the scene with some sort of catchy line or whatever. In my sex blackout scenes, I never actually use any sexrelated terms. Its all about implying and reading between the lines. Hint VERY STRONGLY so its obvious theyre gonna have sex, but dont actually say quottheyre gonna have sexquot. Dont use sex terms, or actions, or whatever. Describing the feelings during the situation are important. Very.brbrNow heres an example followup to that scene above again, writing from the top of my headbrbrShe woke up the next morning cuddled against his bare chest, feeling nothing but bliss and satisfaction. The mattress felt soft and endearing under her body, but she felt laying against his stiff frame and using his arm as a pillow was much more comfortable and preferable.brbrblah blah blah...ltinsert vague remarks to sex from last nightgtbrbrbrbrYea, thats about it. I find writing clean sex scenes amazingly easier, and trust me, blacking out is much more preferable in many situations to having the actual sex scene there to read. Just... let the readers imagination flow. Give them the nice blackout in between.brbrGood luck, love. Im sure youll do fine.
