Reviews for Sex for Dummies

    I might not make your day, but you've really made mine :] A completely different and realistic view of sex is great, and what everyone needs [even if only once in a while]. LOL, I've always contemplated laughter during sex. I have a friend who will laugh if you even wiggle a finger at her--air ticklish, what can ya do? A very vulgar...acquaintance of mine said he feels sorry for whomever she'll have sex with. Think about it, laughing at him before he even gets the chance to touch her? I'm pretty sure he'll assume she's laughing at his equipment, poor guy xD

    Thank you for this interesting and [at least to me] new view on sex.

    Ella,

    You are so right... fanfiction sex is not realistic... check out this site that was made by a real gay man for people who write Slash... it gives great insight just before one would write a slash sex scene. Note: there are explicited pictures that go along with what is explained...

    Okay, I have never had sex before so I don't know anything from personal experience. Hell, I've never even kissed anyone before and thats pretty sad coming from someone who is almost 20. But even I know that those perfect sex scenes are bs. Like you said, a completely fake sex scene really can ruin an otherwise good story. Anywhos, enough babbling, the point is that I am glad that someone was willing to write something like this, something realistic. Sorry if I sound like a moron or something but I really wanted ta tell ya thanks and job well done.

    I loved this story and will recommend it to my friends. Fanfiction with cliche smut tends to get boring. It's good to see that someone is considering the reality of things. I'm not used to reviewing but I just had to review this story!

    bwahaha... i loved this. it was genuine and real and sweet AND more importantly well written.

    i understand your skepticism about the perfect ' iver never had sex before but im still a sex god and will make you come' stereotype that fanfictions love to portray but i guess its just like in a mill n boons novel... real life just isnt like that .. which is why we need a mushy totally unrealistic romance novel to warm ourselves at night..hehe. so dont be too hard on all those gooey fics out there... its just fiction after all.

    but saying that, there's always an 'ugh, thats too much' line that is crossed very often. so your fic was a breath of fresh air. im glad you wrote it. reality check anyone? hehehehe.

    I agree one hundred percent.
    The trouble is, I think, that it's a lot harder to write realistic sex (particularly with sexually inexperienced characters) and still make it hot, and I reckon a lot of writers take the romance novel path of perfect, simultaneously-orgasming first-time sex for that reason. That being said, fan-fiction is fantasy-land, and for that reason, I at least am willing to accept somewhat less than realistic depictions of sex in it. The perfect fuck is nice to imagine once in a while. Still, it pisses me off no end when, say, virgin Naruto magically becomes the expert lover who can pound Sasuke's ass into pure multi-orgasmic ecstasy on the first try. And I agree that there is way to much shit like that out there, which can destroy otherwise really good fics.

    The problem may also be that a lot of fanfic writers haven't actually had that much sexual experience themselves?

    Your piece has inspired me to strive for realistic sex scenes in whatever fic I may churn out in the future (and pester my beta no end) and for that alone I am thankful - that your fic itself was also really sweet (yes, precisely, sweet because the sex was far less than perfect) and well-written is a much welcome added bonus :)

    OKya, first and foremost, wanted to say great fic...but I do have to disagree one point with you.. the whole slobbering like dogs while kissing thing...I have never made out with someone and come away with my chin covered or string of saliva connecting us... I think my stomach would have turned and the make out session ended right there...sorry.. but just the thought of someone drooling all over me like some kind of hound dog turns my stomach

    Otherwise I loved the fic and agreed with the points... while a perfect sex scene is nice for the movies.. it rarely ever happens in real life... though those few times it does makes them all the more special.. Keep up the great work!

    LOL REALLY REALLY good!!!
    There are few stories with 'difficult' sex scenes, I only know another one, it's called 'Wolves'.
    You are right, sex scenes are somehow too perfect sometimes!
    Especially with how CLUMSY and oblivious naruto is, it couldn't be so easy, right!!!
    The best part is when Sasuke started laughing!!!
    and when he was punching him with the pillow, i was rolling on the floor laughing!
    but really I was mortified for poor Naruto!!! He even READ (OMG Naruto can READ?) a book about love... wouldn't happen to be the last icha icha would it?
    I hope there will be a chapter 2!!!!
    Thanks for this great story!

    That was brilliant! I couldn't agree more with your notes on sex. Lately I nearly stopped reading fanfiction because of the unnatural, polished erotic scenes which are anything but erotic.
    I laughed out loud several times, and it was very sexy and so realistic and moving. I love it. Great work! I hope you'll write more, this fandom desperately needs writers like you. Personally I don't like the plot in the latest manga, forcefully making Itachi into a hero, if it wasn't the fanficts like yours I would abandon the manga I'm afraid. So hail, hail awesome fanfiction writers! :)

    Oh that was, terrific. If I may add one, communication makes sex better. Nobody can read your mind, ask for what you want and find out what your partner needs.

    I really liked the story and it is just sooooo true!!! I know I have a tendency to skip over some of the 'ick' in my stories, but I do try to keep them as realistic as possible. Cause sex without personality is just porn. lol
    Thanks

    Ella,

    You are undoubtedly a genius. Thank you for illustrating the more practical side of intimacy between two...humans. I was both educated and entertained.

    Haha. Cool and interesting topic to bring up. But I do have to point out something, kissing "can be" sloppy. I know cuz I've experienced damn sloppy kissers. But, the french kisses I shared with my current bf aren't sloppy to the point we get drool all over our... faces. Hell, I think it's not messy at all compared to my past experiences. Unless we're actually licking each other. But the kisses alone, is perfect. I hate sloppy kissers. We all know that sex won't always go as planned. Been there, done that. But hey, there's nothing wrong in writing the perfect scene for PWP. Well, not perfect ALL the way, but still perfect enough. XD Girls (and guys) can dream. Thanks for sharing! At least I learned something more now.

    wah~ I loved it o^-^o Of course it only makes me realize how badly my smut can turn out to be ; ; but if you don't mind I'll take it as like a guideline, or tips for when I next try my hand at it! And I was giggling all the way through. Very true and yet still so amusing and adorable.
