    I am new to the whole writing sex thing and I wonder if it's better to write sex or to have someone else write them for me? If the later can anyone help me find someone to do that?

    Well you're never gonna learn how to write sex scenes unless you write them yourself.

    This is a good primer for advice on writing sex:

    Other than that, I'd say it's best to start by contributing to someone else's story rather than starting your own. Writing on CHYOA has a few 'kinks' that make it different from normal writing. Plus most writers are always willing to help you with opinions and editing if need be.

    Sorry, but I doubt you'll find anyone here willing to write for you. People just write for themselves or their audience. Unless, of course, you're willing to pay them.

    And, as said above, if you want to write sex, then just do it. It's not super necessary to start out by adding to someone else's story - what's more important is writing about something you find interesting. But if you do, you'll find you receive a lot more feedback and attention than you would if you wrote on your own. Public stories are significantly more popular than private stories.

    Thanks guys! Another question that I don't want to make another topic for is, how do add tags to stories you already published?

    Go to edit chapter. Underneath 'Follow Up Question' will be the words 'Add a Tag'. In that section, you can add tags appropriate to your chapter.

    I think the answer to your question should be why are you writing? I wrote on CHYOA not because of the kink or even the sex but as an out let for my work. I have loads of vanilla stuff and no real way of getting it 'out there'. I write on CHYOA to get feedback by way of likes and comments. CHYOA being what it is i had to force myself into the sex side. It's something I wish I had done years ago, it's a great way of sharpening your skills and getting instant feed back. There is no point in my view of getting someone else to write your sex scenes. By all means collaborate and work with someone who you can bounce ideas off (I've done this and loved the experience), but you have to take responsibility for your writing, even the uncomfortable bits like the sex scenes.

    My advice in short, is go for it, because you want to, not because you have to.

    It's better for a new author to write sex. Go for it. Dive in. Get nasty.

    Figure out the characters you're using, and then figure out which of them are banging and why.
