#smut nut

The other anon did great in explaining the being careful online thing and interacting with others, but I would like to add something regarding fanfic itself.

It is a great way to find out things about yourself safely. From personal experience, jumping from story to story I've discovered a lot. And it was all in fanfic, so I was safe. Dipping toes into waters you're curious about is natural and healthy, but be mindful of the water. Remember, even the calmest bodies of water can drown you if you're in too deep and far away from shore. You got to be aware about yourself and recognize your own comfort zones, which can be difficult as a teenager. But it could also be good self practice to setting boundaries for yourself. Learn to curate your online experience. It won't be a shock that in fandom, it's easy to find discourse and drama and...it's not worth it. Like the Thing for what you like it for and have fun, but do what you need to do to be safe and comfortable about it.

Be sure to read tags, summaries, and author notes if they're available. Be aware of your mental state if any or all of these things are absent for whatever reason and really debate if the risk is worth it.

Back when I was a teen, fanfic for me WAS my sexual education and I learned some of the mechanics through fanfic. So some advice about that is to remind you that...not everything in the internet is accurate. Before you think about trying anything irl that you read in fanfic...a bit of research wouldn't go amiss. (Like you know how in yaoi mangas almost anything would be used as lube IF lube was even used? Or in period related pieces before actual anal lube was a thing and they would have oils and whatever. If you're gonna try butt stuff, do remember the lube but research what's safe to use. )

Most fanfic sites should have an age requirement when you join, but in the teen years...if you're thinking about it...reading about it isn't a sin. It isn't bad. It's just...about personal taste and what you like and can handle. And yes, responsibility of your internet safety falls more so on you and your parents/guardians, but as you're getting older the more you have to start making the choice yourself if it's what you want to consume.

This is goddamn amazing to read thank u nonnie

and that’s all i have to say on the subject.

The stages of finding a new kink...

Stage 1 curiosity: What is this? Why do people read it? Should I read it?

Stage 2 confusion: What am I reading and why am I reading it? How did I get here? Whats is happening?!

Stage 3 panic: I need to stop reading this! Where is the back button! How do I clear my browser history?

Stage 4 acceptance: I made it to the end, that wasn’t so bad. That was kind of nice. I guess I could read another.

Stage 5 obsession: I must find all of the tags. This is my life. This is all I read now. Forever.

THE EMOTIONAL NUT

Y’all don’t jerk off to smut fics?? What’s the point of reading them then?

[fanficmemes]

fic just feels sooo much safer to jack to. like. no one is being exploited for sure. it’s like jacking it to a bodice ripper.

Like whew no ones getting exploited

[fanficmemes]

Whats the point in reading them? Im asexual. You tell me- ,, I read smut for the emotional experience

Ok yes smut can be emotional to the point where u almost don’t wanna call it smut anymore but the humiliation praise heavy cnc 10k oneshots only have one emotion to experience: horny

okay here’s the thing. i read smut fics for the taste, for the flavor, for the deliciousness of the subject in an entirely abstract sense. it’s basically just a different genre. it’s like horror, do you read/watch it because you WANT to feel terrified and anxious? do you read/watch horror because you react differently and find it humorous?

do i read smutty fic for the purpose of being horny? no. i don’t think i’ve ever purposely sought out a smutty fic for that express reason. that could just be me though because i find it weird (for myself, not shaming anyone else) to masturbate TO anything. like i just can’t & don’t want to do it. not to fic, not to people i find attractive, not even to porn (which i only occasionally consume and only from certain places & usually still feel a little weird about consuming).

has smutty fic made me horny? hell yeah. literally yesterday i was reading a smuttyass fic and i didn’t even KNOW how horny it made me until i went to the bathroom and uhhh sebastian the crab might’ve started singing to me. but like, i don’t jerk off TO the smut. i don’t even think about it way later when i’m not reading and i’m actually masturbating.

now, that said. i HAVE masturbated WHILE reading fanfic, and not even smutty fanfic. they were two entirely different activities i just happened to be engaging in simultaneously. and usually one would become more pressing and i’d focus on that and then get back to the other when i was done.

not sure what that says about anything but damn does it feel good to share.
