Help I'm tryna write smut but Ugh it's so hard for me

Do ya have any tips??

Bestie why are you asking me?? I'm horrible at writing smut. I mean I know that I write a lot of it but I'm really bad at it.

Also obligatory NSFW discussion under the cut (obliviously)

Firstly, I think it's good to read other people's work to kinda get the vibe. Personally I really like Nia's stuff (especially this one and this one) but she doesn't go onto that blog anymore so (which is a shame cause I was really looking forward to the Corrupt!Sage in heat post she mentioned,,, yes im calling myself out for it but idc you all know I'm a pervert). There's that. Idk what other fandoms you're into so I'm not too sure who else to recommend. I could recommend some of my own stuff but that would be biased. If any of you wanna tell me your favorite NSFW posts I've done feel free to do so (totally is not being an attention whore I just wanna know what y'all like so I can decide how to write future smuts).

Secondly, identify the specific subgenre you want to focus on and look for works in that field. I would recommend using Reddit for research. Personally I'm not too comfortable watching irl porn, so I typically defer to hentai-based subreddits. Those also have the added benefit of (usually) being more comic/dialogue based, so you can get a good feel for what type of verbage can help you really set the right tone. Like, the way you're going to describe a soft, loving, vanilla scene (something like r/wholesomehentai) is going to be pretty different from the way you describe a BDSM session (r/hentaibondage is a good starting place). Personally I struggle a lot with being descriptive/vulgar because I get really embarrassed (yay intense catholic guilt and anxiety over sex /s) so being able to see examples can be really useful.

Thirdly, depending on how realistic you want it to be, do some research into real sex. I don't mean porn. If you're writing for a specific kink then try looking up guides on how to safely and properly do it. Don't be afraid to look for horror/fail stories. Not to bring up Reddit again but r/askreddit has plenty of threads where people talk about realistic sexual encounters, usually in the forms of 'whats the worst/weirdest sex you ever had' or 'whats something porn gets wrong about sex' or so on and so forth. Depending on what kinks you're writing about, I would highly recommend familiarizing yourself with the golden rules of BDSM, since it's pretty widely applicable. You could also do some research into the relationship between kinks/fetishes and psychology (especially trauma) if you wanted to go that far with it. Not really necessary for a simple straight-forward smut, but incredibly useful if you wanna highlight (or allude to) a character's backstory and how it affects them in the present or just their characterization in general.

I think the biggest thing is, don't be too self-conscious about it! Writing smut is hard. Even if it doesn't come out right the first time, you can always go back and edit it later. And it does get easier the more you do it.

Hopefully this is useful!! If there's anything else I can do to help, let me know!
