nnySo.
I was wondering.
What's sex like?
Genuine question- I'd really be interested in getting as many responses as possible. And I don't really care what form the responses take... small stories, train of thought, drabbles, smut... whatever the subject makes you think of.
Feel free to post anonymously. The IP whatever logging thing is off, not that I'd know how to use it anyway. =)
Indulge me. *g*

Date: 2004-01-22 10:42 pm (UTC)There's good, there's so-and-so, there's boring, there's spectacular (haven't had that last one since forever)
First time it can be a little awkward. Simultaneous orgasms? What a crock! Will be lucky if there's one orgasm and most probably won't be yours.
Some guys finish too quickly. Some take too long. Some want to do it in uncomfortable places and I don't mean the back of a car. And if you say yes and LIKE IT and you are honest about that they have the gall to ask for it all the time. And they tell their friends. Who then come on to you because their girlfriends won't do that. Fuckers. Men are worse gossips than women!
Some guys are tiny. Some are huge. Very often cute and in every way wonderful guys are tiny and complete ASSHOLES are huge. And the assholes think that you want them to skewer you with their thing but the fact is you really don't. And the tiny guys don't get why you don't want to see them anymore. So aside from cruising the mensrooms for guys or asking for a size check on the first date, you just never know what you're going to get...
And women... Women know how your equipment works and can give mind blowing orgasms but there will be something missing (at least to me). And they want to talk all the time and there is the whole lesbian issue which can be a bit of a problem if it gets around. Or attract all sorts of male perverts who have seen way too much porn and think that you and your "girlfriend" would like to do a show for them. No, you don't and they can go to hell.
Was going to post under my name but I think I went a little overboard here. Sorry. Do try it. It's really not bad. Even the "bad" sex is better than no sex. At least I think so, I really can't remember it that well.

Date: 2004-01-22 11:02 pm (UTC)In terms of basic physicality, from the male heterosexual perspective, it's like being totally wrapped up in something, literally -- like being held in a blanket. It's sometimes sort of hard to remember the sensation, afterwards, because there's a complete in-the-momentness. It starts to be that all that matters is the next movement, the next pull and push of muscles...
Or, short answer:
Sticky. :D

Date: 2004-01-22 11:04 pm (UTC)I mean, I can tell you that it tastes good, and some of it's sweet and some is sort of bitter, and the good stuff is creamy and melty in your mouth, and the bad stuff is sort of chalky -- but you're really not going to have much idea of what chocolate is like until you eat some.
And even then, you might have your first bite of some horrid cheap stuff and be put off it for years, and you might taste one brand of bittersweet and think ugh and another brand and think yum and you might find that you don't like bittersweet at all but that milk chocolate is delicious. And sometimes you'll be in the mood for a steak and the idea of eating chocolate just turns your stomach.
Sex is exactly like chocolate, only completely different.
Does that help?

Date: 2004-01-22 11:15 pm (UTC)...surprisingly good.
If it's with the right person.
Now, I'm not talking about your One True Love (blech), or waiting until you're married (double-blech). I'm talking about someone you feel pretty comfortable with, someone you like, someone you won't be embarrassed saying, "For God's sake, go lower!" to.
I was eighteen when I had sex for the first time, and it was a hell of lot better than I thought it was going to be. I'd been reading smut for years and years, and my tastes in reading had been getting pretty...complex. So I wasn't expecting plain ol' vanilla sex to be so gosh-darned exciting in real life. *grin*
And so I'll present:
Things I Learned My (Heterosexual) First Time
#1. Lube is a virgin's best friend.
#2. Guys' expectations aren't as sophisticated as smutty fic leads one to believe. Confidence is easy to fake, and besides, everyone fumbles a little. Things can get a little awkward - one might, say, end up getting elbowed in a place one never expected to be elbowed, but it's all right if you're with someone you can giggle with about it. Natural instinct really takes over, and as long as you don't let yourself stop and think about how stupid the face you're making must look like, things generally proceed well enough.
#2. Oral sex: mankind's greatest invention. Receiving it - fantabulous, like birthday and Christmas combined. Knowing you're good at giving it (and it's really not as hard as it looks, no pun intended) - an ego boost that will carry you throughout the rest of the day.
#3. Guys become a little stupid when confronted with the possibility of sex. This means that they honestly don't notice the cellulite on your butt, or the fact that you haven't shaved your legs in three weeks. They're getting laid. This blinds them to all else.
#4. Sex is surprisingly squishy. There will be squelchy noises throughout the entire proceeding. Again, as long as you don't stop to think about it too much, you may refrain from giggling.
#5. Bigger is not better. A guy whose equipment is roughly the size of your forearm might not, upon reflection, be the best choice for a first time. However, sex is equally about your partner's needs, so see #1.
#6. Sex is a lot easier than this certain rather shy, bitter, misanthrope suspected. Being naked in front of another person (in more ways than one) isn't so bad after all, because they're naked too, and you get an orgasm besides. Everything goes better with orgasms.
So, in conclusion. Sex = Funny, Scary, Exciting, Comforting, Awkward, Rhythmic, and most of all, Squishy.

Possibly not what you were looking for, but there's my two cents in the collection tin.

Date: 2004-01-23 12:17 am (UTC)Sex gives another person power over you in a way and that's a bit scary. It makes you incredibly vulnerable and exposed. It's easy to get hurt.
But it's delicious to lose control like that, to feel yourself give into your body's response to someone else's touch. And to know that you're causing the person you're with to lose control as well. There's something incredibly primal and beautiful about it.
And it's an amazing connection between two people.
It's wet. Very wet. And warm. Hot and sticky like being caught outside on a humid summer day.
Real sex isn't like it's portrayed in film or even in erotica. You'll sweat, you'll be flushed, you won't be able to breathe. You'll make noises that sound so stupid if taken out of context, but at the moment are so fucking hot that just hearing yourself will turn you on even more. You'll be focused on your body and how wet and slick and swollen you are. And how good it all feels.
And sex can be funny. All kinds of mishaps happen during real sex. Rude noises. Body parts slipping out of their proper places. Falling off the bed. Or sofa. Or...well, you get the point. Laughter is one of the best parts of sex. It makes it warmer. More comfortable.
Sex is fun, it's scary, and when it's good, it's the best thing you can possibly think of experiencing.

Date: 2004-01-23 12:43 am (UTC)... it can be gentle, exploring, wondering, someone letting you in... getting to know them as you touch and talk and...
... awkward, fumbling, funny, like two friends playing games slightly embarrassed and happy; tumbling like puppies in a box...
... soul-searing and cruel, another using another person and breaking their hearts... the scars last for a long time...
... it (very rarely) melds two people together where you can't remember where you leave off and the other person begins, and the world is awash in that person and response and sensation and you wake from it like a dream wondering -- what happened?
... wicked and naughty, a game of tease, catch and release with someone who knows the rules and wants to play...
... ho-hum, something you do a lot, and your mind wanders off to the cooking and what am I going to make for supper -?
... a moment where - in the middle of something really good - your lover does something, ouch, not so good, and you wonder how to get them back on track without insulting -?...
... complete focus on the needs of another, whisper, no, you lie back, let me...
But it changes and is in its way unpredictable.
