Hey! Idk if virgin smut writer anon is still around, but as a 26 year old virgin that (sometimes) writes smut, I understand the worry that maybe you’re not doing a great job. It can be a little scary to write something that you don’t know first hand, but like any other topic you might write about that you haven’t experienced, it’s important to maybe consume some content, do some research concerning it.
Also, it made me a little sad to hear them say “regrettably virgin” and wondering if they should just go lose their virginity. I know we live in a society (sigh I know, not trying to be funny) that pushes sex to an almost overbearing degree. As someone who identifies in the asexual spectrum, I know the struggles of dealing and thinking about sex when society tells you that it’s “strange” to be a virgin in your mid to late twenties. You don’t have to force yourself into a situation just to check a mark for a human experience. Let it happen when it will happen (I know it’s different for sexual people and you all don’t see it the same as asexuals but I hope it comes through as respectful). Let it happen when it feels right and you won’t regret it. I think when we’re younger we tend to see it as a must, but once we mature some of us come to the conclusion that hey “it may never happen” and then that in turn makes us internalize it and feel bad about ourselves. You are not the only one anon. I haven’t even had my first kiss, and I’m not embarrassed or shy about it, because I don’t regret having just ticked the experience off, I know I would have hated it.
Don’t worry too much that you haven’t experienced it when it comes to your writing, the more you write it, it might even help you explore things that maybe you hadn’t thought about before. Be gentle with yourself too, if it’s too much, maybe step back and try something else for a while, until you’re ready to come back to it. 💜
