Help Me Do My Homework: The Sex Edition

[pantryslut]

Or: Yes I Do Requests
and also: yes, this is what I am procrastinating on

Once upon a time, in a land very far away, I used to be a sex writer. Those were the days, my friend.

It feels all very far away, though, right now, because right now apparently my brain is completely parched for ideas. Of any sort, really, but most especially for sex. Er, sex writing.

This kinda sucks, though, because I've got an upcoming show and some freelance leads and some checks to earn and all that good stuff.

So.

Why not brainstorm for with me?

If you could hire me to write about sex, what would you ask me to write?

Fiction or nonfiction. Scratch that. Fiction and nonfiction. All suggestions gladly taken.

I keep thinking, would it be considered weird/unsexy/pointless/overly cautious, etc. if I actually used one of those?

Depends on the queer subculture; it's a norm in some dyke scenes and not in others. To me, someone who doesn't come pre-prepared with supplies, or ask me upfront if I have any because they left theirs at home, is likely to ping my risk-meter as someone I'm less interested in a casual hook-up with. Safe sex is hotter than many of the possible alternatives.

For pantryslut, I'll loan you the topic of a rant I've never actually written: "WTF can't I buy safe-sex supplies in the drugstore other than in the 'first aid' aisle?" When I can't go to CVS/Walgreens and see gloves and dams right next to the condoms, I think, hmm, someone doesn't think the sex I have is "real," or an STD risk. Or sometimes, hmm, that's patriarchy in action.

Thanks! I agree with the safe sex being hotter than any other, which is why I'm fretting over all of this. I guess I have to find the right dyke scenes. I was never good at navigating that stuff with guys either, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
