So sorry to hear you've been having health problems. I know how hard that is. Surgery is very tough on your body. Make sure you address your pain issues thoroughly in the beginning, and don't try to be a hero. That's very important for helping your body to heal.
It was definitely a challenge to get this content into the story. The PG13 version is not too different, with the same slightly censored flashbacks and the same reveal of what happened after the pool house. I would say based on reviews it's going 50/50 between the two versions.
I used to get a lot of comments on YLD that people were skipping the smut, so...not everyone wants to read it. And on fanfiction, I am posting this in the "T" section for once, so I needed to have a lower rated version of this chapter.
It isn't my intention to put erotic content in every story I write. (Although I guess I have done that...whoops. Wow, that was an interesting realization.)
But...I feel that to express the whole of human condition, it is sometimes necessary to write about what happens in the bedroom, when we are at our most vulnerable. I do think that our sexual actions can tell us a lot about our mindset and often reveal our essential character (it's pretty hard to hide when you're naked and vulnerable). To neglect to write about our sex lives is to omit one of the most powerful driving forces of a human being. And in the case of this particular scene, the actual sex act can also reflect the overall plot, which is something I really like doing.
It's really challenging to write erotic content, especially to write something different in every story and not resort to insert Tab A in Slot B every time. What I'd love to do with my erotic writing is to have a rhythm with the words I use, the way our actions have a rhythm during lovemaking, and sometimes I think I've come close to achieving that.
