Touchy-feely thoughts, ahem.

I just updated my website, and notice that I have written five (or, if you count the prologue and epilogue to 'Prone' as separate, six) fics which are, basically, masturbation with an observer. In addition, there's unobserved masturbation in Prone and The Little Dustbuster that Could, also, there is the observed kind in Prize, but I didn't count that on my list as in the story it is intended as foreplay rather than soloing.

What amuses me most is the requirement for the observer, which means that the whole thing can be written from the POV of somebody watching, rather than the person doing. I have nothing intelligent to say about this, but it struck me as mildly interesting.

Do you guys do the same thing?

Well, I'd thought about this once, long ago, and thought it was "normal". It's like you're the observer him/herself and you're telling what you're seeing. I have to admit that I like to play with this, hehehe, and sometimes write from the POV of one of those who're doing it, but still, I think the observer's POV is like more common to use.

Now I think I'll have to write from the POV of the masturbator, who is specifically putting on a show. Although on reflection I have done that once already. Sigh.

Yes, it makes it easier to write the 'show' from the point of the person seeing it. I have a nebulous feeling that this is all about putting 'me' into the story in the guise of one of the characters, but I'm not up to making myself clarify it.

That'll be interesting, you know? and now you've got me into trying it...mmmm

About putting yourself into the story, I think that's normal too, I mean, we're the writers, it's like we are the voyeurs themselves; whether we have a name in the tale or not, we're witnessing everything.

Now, to me working it from the point of view of the masturbator is a challenge, I don't have any recollections whatsoever of having done it before. Let's see if I can craft something this week. ^^

God, I love challenges ^^U

Excellent! I look forward to reading it.

Yes! I'm thinking Justin. Because he's all about the show.

can I just say that it's not a pattern I object to you continuing? ;p

[pensnest]

Heh. Who'd have thought it? ;-)

I suspect there are some variations yet to, uh, be written.

I have utterly corrupted my 'caress' icon now.

I'm right now writing a fic with the prompt of voyeur....
and yes, I'm writing it from the POV of the one who's watching the whole deal.
It's easier I guess.
Although it would be very interesting to write something from the POV from the one who's doing everything, knowing that there is someone watching, wouldn't it?

A 'putting on a show' fic - yes, that'd be fun, too. So many agreeable options!

For me, I'd always prefer writing the observer because it means being one step away from writing actual sex. I mean, I'd still be writing it, but not so immediate.

I have no idea if that makes sense. But, I do have to say I'm with A. This is a theme of yours I enjoy.

I guess, also, two boys are hotter than one, so having an observer in there intensifies the experience, as well as making it a lot easier to write!
