"The sex tells the story, so it never felt gratuitous to me. The sex is character development. The sex is what is moving this relationship forward, and watching it change over time."

HEATED RIVALRY 1.04 — Rose

[miscelium]

HUDCON + THE LANGUAGE OF INTIMACY // hudson and connor slowly pick up on each other's mannerisms and language // quinn // golden globes // familiarity creates a new language // "i can't even see you with all the cameras flashing" // a relationship is about inventing your own language // the laughs and inside jokes // we had our own language // sex sells // they just created a whole language for it

[miscelium]

+ Connubial by Stephen Dunn

+ excerpt from The Small Country by Ellen Bass

And how even touch itself cannot mean the same to both of us, even in this small country of our bed, even in this language with only two native speakers.

'sex scenes are gratuitous' mmhm please enjoy these complete character/narrative arcs composed exclusively of sex scenes

[lucylehane]

How did you work out the dom/sub dynamic of your characters? Sometimes sexually people seek out the opposite of the energy that they want in their real life.
