I started in fandom writing giant robots. For some reason, I'm less awkward about writing two giant robots banging than people. Mostly it's because the terminology is really tough for me when it comes to humans. I mean, what do you call the parts? Half the time it seems so clinical (his penis) and the other half it reads like bad purple prose (his throbbing love shaft).

That is why writing porn is so tricky! Personally, I hate the word 'hole', but like, fuck? What sexier words do I invent to say the same thing? And then it's 'he penetrated his partner's garden of trust'.

And now I really want to read robot porn. I would think it would be harder to write, but I could be totally wrong!

I occasionally frustratedly resolve to only ever write people without penises having sex because I can't find any satisfactory words for penis that don't sound weird in my prose.

Hogan's Heroes! ♥ Have some icon love.

Also, that's really interesting to me - robot porn vs. human porn. I've recently been running into xeno problems (what do I call a tentacle dick while not using those words) but I wouldn't even know where to begin with robots.
