I am trying to keep in mind the recommendation of thinking about a 13-year-old finding and reading posts on this page, so I will put things delicately.
Is it weird to use very dirty, raunchy, er...bodily terms in an otherwise quality, solid book?
I mean...the book being erotica, after all?
Is this making sense? I hate to have to use squick-worthy words like "his manhood" and going full throttle Latin seems so very un-sexy.
I have a solid plot and serious writing (style) but this is all really built around a book that basically is a collection of totally wild fantasies come true. I tried having it all be a bit, I don't know, lighter (again, in writing style) but it felt insanely sophomoric. It basically read like Twilight on roofies. I didn't believe in or love it and I wasn't getting to write at the plot depth I wanted to because that just wouldn't have fit.
But...I want the dirty parts of the story...they were actually the original plan...so...
Thoughts?
