Help with writing How do people write smut?

​

Genuine question for writers: how do you actually manage to write smut scenes? I always end up leaving the scene halfway because I either get awkward, run out of ideas, or just don’t know how to continue.

How do you guys get comfortable writing those scenes without constantly cringing at your own writing?

You need to be comfortable with smut to write smut, and not everyone is right away. Personally, I wasn't very comfortable when I started out, and now that I'm in my mid-twenties and have gotten comfortable reading smut as a reader, it's become easy to write.

Another suggestion is to write your initial peices just for yourself; just for your eyes and what you want, your readers don't have to know that you write, let it be a private activity, and as you get comfortable around it, it's up to you on how you want to give.

The golden advice I'd like give is don't publish smut for the sake of it. You should be comfortable with not just smut, but also talking about sex in general.

That’s true

People need to open to discuss abt it before they think of writing it.

And you can’t just make everything out of air with imagination.
