...and as a final controversial point let me state that whilst I believe that ERP is a valid form of storytelling in many cases it's just a case of two people doing it because they want to get their rocks off. There's not necessarily anything wrong with that, mind you - it can be a case of someone wanting to tell a good story and take pleasure in writing a naughty scene. Just don't dance around the issue and pretend as if that is never the case because it's more likely than unlikely.
I'll admit I ERP. I ERP often and frequently, with multiple partners, sometimes at the same time (L-lewd). It 90% of the time isn't about the sexual gratificaion to me. Can I get aroused from it? Yup. Do I pleasure myself while I write? I think all of.. Three times in my career, but that's also because I write this shit for a living. This is a job to me.
Now onto another topic... I'm surprised and encouraged by the overwhelmingly POSITIVE attitudes of everyone here, and how everyone is willing to discuss this in a mature, safe way. This speaks wonders, it truly does... And I'm happy to be a part of this community.
