Want to learn how to write steamy sex scenes? Check out these tips from a woman , and these slightly more offensive tips from a man .
The woman is Belle de Jour, author of Playing the Game , and her suggestions pretty much read like pointers for good writing in general. She says,
Arms are flying, tongues are flicking, and where on earth did that extra arm come from? The effectiveness of sex writing depends, as with real sex, on getting from point A to point Z via all the letters in between. Too many stories start on the sofa, then segue straight into a threesome on the beach.
Plenty of non-erotic books fail because the author can't keep track of the rooms in a house or the stops on a bus route, or because the action moves implausibly quickly or slowly. Getting from A to Z effectively: good advice for any writer. So is de Jour's caution not "to dwell on what ruffly garment was worn, the precise glossy shade of a woman's hair, and so on," or to "describe anything that is not in fact chocolate as being 'like chocolate.'" Perhaps her only totally sex-specific tip is this one:
If I wanted to read about the kind of sex I have every day, I would . . . well, I wouldn't. Why fantasise about what you already experience? I go to the written word for places and faces that I don't get at home. Hot people in hot climates. Sex acts I can hardly imagine. Porn is about the unachievable . . . and, therefore, the inherently desirable.

The male sex-tipster, Ewan Morrison, starts off by explaining why women don't write about sex as well as men do (heard this before? ). He says, "it's because male writers have a much longer tradition of breaking taboos about sex (straight and gay)." His examples are Henry Miller and Anais Nin. He writes,
In an Ann Coulter-worthy bit of self-undermining, sex writer and new owner of Britain's Erotic…
Miller is all vigour, urgency and detail. Nin's body becomes relatively anonymous for him. Nin has to make the act seem poetic and address the virility of Miller's 'authorship.' 'His book swells inside of me,' she writes. His penis is, almost literally, the canon of Western male fiction.
Comparing a dick to a book (kinda oblong) doesn't sound all that hot, but is anonymity really the recipe for great erotica? Morrison seems to think so. He writes that,
the bourgeois distinction between erotica and porn [...] is based on an opposition between ethically good sex with 'wholesome, well-rounded characters' (erotica) and nasty cheap sex with anonymous bodies (porn). Porn is omnipresent now and calling a certain kind of porn 'erotica' is a middle-class attempt to set itself against the tasteless culture of the masses.
It's clear here that we're supposed to think sex with "wholesome, well-rounded characters" is less fun than "sex with anonymous bodies." And it sure is, if you make those characters sound like big balls of oatmeal. If, however, a character has an interesting personality or an exciting (or twisted) relationship to the person he's fucking, isn't that more arousing than anonymous tab-a-into-slot-b? Maybe not for Morrison, who seems to take a pretty narrow view of what's acceptable in erotica. He says,
Write from experience, not fantasy[.] Fantastical sex scenes are hilarious, shallow and awful. Follow the masters: Miller, Jean Genet and Nin, who wrote from the depths of lives devoted to sensual pleasure. If you don't have the experiences to enrich your writing, go out and get them or stop trying to write sex scenes.
Pretty much the polar opposite of Belle de Jour's advice, and kind of odd coming from someone who wrote Ménage , a novel inspired by the ménage à trois between Henry Miller, June Miller and Anaïs Nin. Presumably Morrison never actually had sex with any of these people, and thus his writing didn't really come from experience. Perhaps he discovered that imagining sex you could never or would never have is actually titillating? But then again, that's probably just my failure to break taboos talking. Better go back to fucking books.

Romance author Lisa Lane shares her top 10 tips for how to write erotica effectively.

As an erotica author, I’ve found that many people have preconceived notions about the art of writing erotica and erotic romance. Before I became well versed in writing the genre, I had misconceptions of my own, and that led to much trial and error as I worked to refine my craft and learn how better to please my audience. 
While sex does play a key role in erotica, the sex itself is secondary to the development of the characters and plot. A good erotica writer knows that, no matter how great the sex is, there still needs to be a good, solid story if one wants to hold a reader’s interest.
Flat characters never go far, but in erotica, you really do have your work cut out for you when it comes to creating believable and entertaining character dynamics. Dashing heroes make for great romance and passionate love-making, but they won’t keep the story going. Think about the characteristics that you find most entertaining, and then brainstorm: Readers like characters who use fun dialog, have a good sense of humor, and make interesting choices. What types of hobbies, beliefs, or interests might help to develop your characters—and give them something in common? The hero must be worth pursuing, and the heroine must be worthy of her hero.
Most readers prefer erotica shown from the female perspective unless the work is written specifically for readers of M/M (man on man). If you have an idea for a heterosexual erotic story with the hero taking full lead, consider ways you might revise it to focus more on the female’s point of view. Some (very limited) authors have found success in shifting through both points of view, and it works well in some circumstances, but many editors will frown on the “head-hopping” of internal dialog.
While many readers still enjoy straight erotica, mixed-genre erotica is a great avenue to take for writers looking for their niche. Use your literary interests to your advantage and write what you like, letting the erotic aspects work as an added feature to your work. You’ll have more fun writing, and that will shine through to your readers.
Are you writing for fans of erotic romance or other subgenres? Make sure that romance is a strong part of your plot if you’re planning on marketing to erotic romance readers, and make sure you’re clear about your subgenres. Let your audience know what they’re in for before they read your work: if you are including kinky or gay/lesbian aspects to your story, or if you are incorporating audience-specific subgenres such as horror, steampunk, or hard science fiction, be clear about those aspects in your marketing. Readers do not respond well to these types of surprises.
One point that I cannot stress enough is the importance to be innovative and unique in your erotica. There are only so many ways to write a traditional sex scene, and they can become repetitive and boring. Use your subgenres to your advantage. What is it about your characters or their circumstances that you can use to make your erotica different? What limits can you break, without crossing the line?
Let it build, let it fall, let a heart or two break, and then give the readers what they’ve been waiting for.
While erotic romance is a hot market right now, don’t underestimate the power of pure, raw, primal sex. It can be fun and interesting to develop characters that make their moves based on pure attraction, the love/hate dichotomy, and revenge or rebound.
Just as it is important to build sexual tension, it is also important to make sure your characters don’t jump into the act of lovemaking too quickly. Foreplay helps to add to the sexual tension you’ve already built between your characters, and it makes that final “climactic” release all the more satisfying.
Like romance, erotica and erotic romance readers tend to expect a “happily ever after” or “happy for now” ending. Don’t let your audience down by offering them a great story, only to leave them hanging or disappointed by the characters’ outcomes. Even cliffhangers in series need to give the readers hope that all is well, if at least for the time being. If the main couple does not end up together, make sure there is a good reason for it, and that they are better off going their separate ways.
Writing erotica can be a fun and rewarding venture, but as with any genre, there are rules to which the author must adhere. While rules can sometimes be stretched or even broken, knowing your audience and your market will go a long way in helping you to promote your work. Have fun, write what you like, but make sure that you’re also writing with your target audience in mind. Good luck!

Erotic literature is a growing field and one that spans a multitude of genres, as well as being one unto itself. There is erotic horror, science fiction and fantasy erotica, literary erotica and erotic romance, just to name a few genres that are receptive to erotic writing. There are also sizable markets specifically for heterosexual, gay, and lesbian erotica, as well as a smaller number for bisexual and transgender erotica. "Sex sells" is a saying that's been around forever and for once, it's true.
Saleability isn't the only reason to write erotica, however. Writing erotica can improve other types of writing that you do by honing your descriptive skills and your awareness of how your characters occupy physical space in your stories. You're writing for impact so story line, characters and word choice have to work together even more closely than in many other types of fiction writing in order to be effective. All of this will serve you well if you go on to write in other nonerotic genres.
In order to have the most impact, your literary erotica needs to be more than just a long sex scene. For one thing, most editors and readers are going to want your story to have some sort of plot to make it more interesting. For another, since you are somewhat limited by the human body, you're unlikely to come up with a sexual or sensual description so wildly original that no one has ever written anything like it before. Make your story stand out with interesting characters and story lines instead. These should carry your story line forward, not the sexual situation alone. Below are some questions to ask yourself about your erotic writing. If you can't answer these questions or the answer is no, it's time to go rewrite:
Good word choices and descriptions are crucial for effective erotic writing. Adjectives and euphemisms for genitalia and sex acts are frequently used as building blocks for erotic fiction. When handled appropriately, they can help give your story a romantic gloss that might otherwise be missing. More often than not, they're overused and will make your story appear downright silly. Prune your adjectives and read some erotic scenes and novels you like to get an idea of how other writers do it. As a general rule, it's better to avoid euphemisms, especially when you are first starting out; a few well placed metaphors can be a lot more useful in conveying your images.
Erotic fiction depends on the physical actions and sensations of your characters for impact. Educate yourself about anatomy and any sexual activities you want to write about so you can write more effectively. Read your story out loud and check to see if something seems physically impossible or just plain uncomfortable. If so, it's going to make your erotica less appealing to your potential readers.
Remember that this is fiction, not thinly disguised memoir: try not to use your sex life as the basis for your fiction. Certainly, it can be inspirational but it shouldn't be where you get all your ideas. That road can lead to law suits or reduced dating prospects at the very least.
Should you use a pseudonym for your erotica? It depends. There is some danger that you will be taken less seriously as a writer because of the prevailing belief that writing about sex is "easy" and/or autobiographical. Some writers choose pseudonyms for this reason. Others use them if they write in other genres (such as children's books) or if they are concerned that it may negatively impact their daily lives. On the other hand, if you want to make a career out of erotic fiction, using your own name can make marketing easier. Ultimately, you're the only one who decides if erotic writing is for you so how or if you tell others is your personal decision. Any professional editor interested in publishing your work will respect your choice either way.
The majority of the literary erotica published in books, magazines and websites is in short story form. But don't despair if you want to write novels or plays or something else. There are a number of presses and markets out there to choose from, ranging from Circlet Press (science fiction and fantasy) to Random House and Penthouse. Novels are a comparative rarity because they are more difficult to write than erotic short fiction. This is due to erotica's dependence on impacting the reader: it's just harder to sustain an impact-laden story line and a series of sensually related events than to write one or two into the same story. Some writers are very successful at it, however, and there's no reason you can't be among them.
Before you submit anything, it's also important to recognize that most erotica publishers have certain kinds of stories that they are not interested in reading. These often include stories that involve rape, particularly that of children, bestiality and almost any sex act involving actual children (as opposed to role playing between adults). Some publishers will go further and request that authors concentrate on depicting safe sex while others will not look at any story that depicts any form of sadomasochism. These guidelines may arise from moral beliefs or fear of legal action and bad press, but either way, if they say they won't read it, don't send it. Always, always check the editorial guidelines before you submit.
You don't have to look very far to find examples of good erotic writing. Even mainstream literature is filled with "the good bits," the erotic paragraphs and scenes that tend to get dog-eared and read over and over again. In addition, many famous and well established writers have written works that are entirely erotic in nature, including Anaïs Nin, Anne Rice, Ramsey Campbell, Henry Miller, Samuel Delany and D.H. Lawrence, to name just a few. Other writers like Cecilia Tan, Pat Califia and Erica Jong specialize in erotic writing. The aspiring writer has only to look around to find examples of almost type of story he or she could want to write or read. Get familiar with some of the work that is already out there to see how established authors write about sex and sensuality.
There are a number of resources out there to help you get started on writing and marketing erotica. Erotica editor and sexuality expert Susie Bright's "How to Write a Dirty Story: Reading, Writing, and Publishing Erotica," published by Fireside Press, is a good introductory book. It includes recommended readings, writing exercises and other resources that are helpful to the new erotic writer. The Erotic Readers and Writers Association website includes how to articles, reviews, a chat room, and best of all, up to date market lists of anthologies, magazines and publishers.
There are also some publishers that include calls for submissions on their websites. Circlet Presspublishes science fiction and fantasy erotica anthologies and novels; be sure to doublecheck the reading period before submitting. Alyson Books, a publisher of gay, lesbian and bisexual titles including erotica, has a call for submissions page. Red Sage Publishing's Secrets Collection are anthologies of novella length erotic romances for women. Unbound Books publishes erotic novels for a variety of interests. Remember that this list is just a starting place. Check the market listings noted above for other opportunities.
Finally, once you've made a sale for $5 or more, there's a new professional organization for erotica writers, The Erotic Author's Association. These are only a few of the resources that are out there; check around for links off the websites and see what publishers are printing your favorite erotica writers. But most important of all, keep on writing!
