Out of the current characters you write for, who prefers giving degradation vs praise? And what do they prefer to recieve?
Steve: oh he is just loverboy central, constant strings of praises fall from his lips (when his brain's still working), and he's a whimpering mess when you're praising him (BUT...nothing inspires that competitive drive in him better than a little degradation from you, he fucks like he's desperate to prove himself)
Azriel: a little teasing but it's all kind "wow, you like that, don't you angel? such a mess for me." so i'd say more praise, and my god he'll probably start praying to you when you praise him back, it spurs him on like he's trying to outdo himself
Cassian: oh he's barking orders and demanding your best performance like the general he is. he's bossy but you are usually praised through out, though he will correct your position/push you to do better ;) also, he likes a partner with some spark, so he loves when you tell him all about himself
Rhysand: he's a tease, maybe not so much degradation? but he's making cheeky remarks fssssss. i think he likes when you tease him back but he preens when he hears that he's making you feel good
Aaron: oh, praise. he's a praiser, idk i can't see him degrading his partner? and he might turn smug/teasing if you praise him back.
Spencer: praise and praise; he's a simple man <3
Peter: i think peter is a cheeky motherfucker so i think he might do a bit of degrading! i think it's more 'cause sex has to involve laughter for him haha, so he's teasing/making it fun and expects you to do the same (and loves it when you do)
Finnick: i think he's a bit of both! BUT, i will say that (if canonical) he aims to reclaim sex and intimacy, and he wants pleasure with you to mean something, so it ends up being a bit sweeter than it is rough/degrading
