WHY I DONT WRITE/READ SMUT
im truly sorry if this offends anyone but i need you all to know where i stand and to get this off my chest because it's been bothering me for a while.
DISCLAIMER. it's very possible you may disagree with me about my opinion but please remember that it's mine and i'm entitled to it. i won't be responding to comments and any rude comments will be deleted
*cracks knuckles*
so without further ado, why i personally don't read or write smut:
1. it flat out makes me uncomfortable. i just personally believe sex is something private between two people and unless i'm actually one of them i have no business writing or reading about it.
2. there are so many young people on this site. i think it's important to keep that in mind when you're writing.
3. i personally think it's disrespectful towards the people you're writing about, especially if it's a character played by someone irl or an actual real life person. like if i was famous i would find it incredibly creepy if people were writing smut about me.
4. i honestly just think there's so much more that's worth writing. when i write a book what excites me is creating dynamic characters and plots. writing about action and adventure etc.
5. i personally consider smut as soft porn. guys, the pornography industry is a BIG deal. it ruins so many lives. there are countless people (including kids) who are actual slaves in this industry. i get that reading smut might not directly link itself to this but in my mind they're too similar for me to deem one okay and the other not.
-
so i'm not saying that characters in my books will never touch each other or anything. i'm just saying i'm not going to be going into explicit detail about sexual behaviour because i personally don't believe it's right. i think people are allowed to believe what they want about the topic, but that's simply where i stand.
