kbkAre all writers of NC-17 truly voyeurs at heart?
I ask this because I was reading a meta which had several writers watching the boys fucking, and getting off on it. So. I ask.
Because really, what's the point in writing graphic sex if it doesn't do something for you? or other people?
um. yeah. that's all.

Yeah, the satisfaction is different, but so is every other form of satisfaction I get from writing fic. You're right, there's no name for the other forms, but seems to me that's because western culture at least puts such a premium on sex. And that gets to me...
