Oo, ooo, ooo - lots of good information. I love it. I'll have to go back over it again this evening when I have more time, because I have some questions about some specifics.

But in the mean time - something Jane Doe said got me to thinking, the comment about the usual fireworks of orgasms. That's how most people describe it - an explosion, stars and lights swimming behind the eyes, etc.... Fireworks. Anybody got any ideas on more creative ways to describe the sensation of an orgasm? Especially from the male perspective. (Don't worry, Inglor. I won't rag on you for TMI this time. )

And another thing.

Unless your characters are into pain, please do not describe bruising kisses as being pleasurable. It hurts. Really, it does. I can only imagine a bruising kiss feeling about as pleasurable as trying to swallow scalding hot coffee.

One thing I can say is that at the moment that the O reaches its peak, my mind is completely blank. It is an odd sensation, nothing enters my mind when an orgasm is its most intense, zero, nada. for abouyt two or three seconds (could be longer or shorter) my mind is a void. Its weird, my consciousness receeds as the orgasm intensifies. Everything goes away:who I'm with (don't tell my wife this...), the room, time, everything.

Little tingle starts at the base of the spine and gets larger and more intense, its like your whole body is being tickled at once, only better. That is just how I describe mine. but I can't hink of an exact description that does it justice

Orgasm descriptions:
the way a big wave builds up then violently crashes and spreads out is one of my favorite metaphors

the way a symphony builds to a craciendo(SP?) and then calms
(think Edvard Grieg's In the Hall of the Mountain King. This piece is a musical translation of an orgasm. Listen to it with sex in mind, you'll see...hear what I mean)

A hay bale fire ( or anything dry and tinderish that burns fast):, starts with a spark then builds, gets real intense and hot, the whole thing burning at one time, then quickly dies as fuel is exhausted

Good then, everybody so far seems to be of the same opinion - sex scenes tend to get boring if they follow the same old same old of a little groping, a little French kissing to the nether regions, then bam! both parties get off at the same time and go to sleep happy and satisfied. Avoid this scenario as much as possible. And don't skimp on the foreplay.

But now I have to ask, what exactly qualifies as a simultaneous orgasm? Is it when both parties just have their universes align and have magically wonderful orgasms at the same instance? Or would it be an SO if the woman having an orgasm and this stimulates the man to have one within a few seconds of hers, or vice versa? I know there is an anatomical basis in this scenario, what with tissues engorging and muscles clenching and what have you, but how well does that scenario work in a sex scene? Would most readers consider that as overused or acceptable?

Keek is sitting in the corner pouting! Half-elven hmmmm, the other guy would provide a SO I just know he would.

Alas, I think I have opined on this on that other site! However, thinking from the standpoint of both parties being unexperienced, I would say that it would be more fun for the reader to read what each person is experiencing. The act itself will be more intense to read if we get to be there with each moment of new sensations and feelings. Is she nervous and how does that affect her responses to things? Is he fighting within himself to maintain control? Does she move a certain way that he finds amazing, likewise, how does she respond to the way he is moving, touching and stimulating? I guess for me I would believe a SO could occur if the scene was written in such a way that both parties are anticipating the needs of the other before they are finished. That maybe unlikely in chaste virgins. But then again, they are more than human so possibly they would be able to do that the first time.

Well, get going woman and write it! (Of course if you want a second opinion on what you have written, I would offer my humble services at anytime.Just let me hide my pom-poms Heehee)

My most intense memory of my first experience was the initial penetration. The previously never experienced feeling of being inside a woman with all the temperature and slippery adjectives you can think of, that unique feeling was as good as the orgasm itself. It is still one of the highlights of the actual act. I always like to give it a good soak before getting down to business.
I would think in a virgin-virgin union, that first moment of nonvirginity could take up at least a paragraph without being lengthy

Interesting thread...
BTW I wonder... would a female Elf's first time hurt? For human females it usually does...

[Aerin]

that's a good one, and a little more accurate than the fireworks thing....

[Vulgarweed]

Well, if neither of them has done this before, I think they'd probably be fascinated with every little sensation and every part of their partner's body. (Ilmarë, is it? Still feeling her own body as a bit of a novelty?) I'd think they'd have a nice tension going between urgency and wanting to savor everything. They're immortal, they got time!

Not having just the one big SO means the writer gets to write/reader gets to read more than one orgasm. Isn't that a good thing? Hands and fingers are good. Oral is even better. And she does strike me as a very curious, I-want-to-try-that type of girl.
