@magee101 Maybe that warrants one of those classy conversations!
How long does a scene need to be before it gets to TS (feel free to include foreplay as part of TS)? What's ideal for you?
Foreplay tends to be part of the TS, the tension between characters, the setting of outfits and scenery. Usually I find the average time is about an hour of lead up depending on how quickly people pose before it gets to TS. sometimes the foreplay is just as fun as the TS itself and it can be two hours.
For example do most of your TS scenes get right to it once the scene begins? Are they the logical followup of a separate scene leading directly to it? Do you ever just start TS at the end of a completely chaste RP?
There have been a few times, namely non-consensual scenes that start out pretty much right from the get-go but it's still usually 2 poses a piece before the actual sex begins to set the situation. I actually tend to get squicked out if someone is just like 'I walk up and start stripping you down' with no real juicy details or build up.
Also bonus question! Do you ever pause in the middle of TS then pick it up at a later time?
Well, sometimes. A lot of times TS gets paused 'in the middle' or FTB'ed, sometimes it resumes where it left off but most of the time it moves on to another scene with new kinks or new situations.
This is truly the classiest thread ever.
Bonus answer; I have a hard time committing to just flirty build up that then FTB, as someone that has always quite enjoyed the exercise of writing erotically a FTB is like a giant cocktease and I am waaay less likely to get into a 1on1 innocent roleplay with someone that has previously FTB'ed the erotic parts of the scene. Yes, I understand some people don't want to go through the erotica but still have the relationship be canon, but then I'm over here like... you want to go from having a sexually charged situation back to some other normal scene? Sorry I'm in this mood now and I either need to go distract myself or find someone that does want erotica.
ETA: On MU* TS scenes tend to last either 1-2 hours and someone isn't jivving and disconnects, or 3-4 hours and then RL happens. On sites like f-list, I've had erotica scenes last 8-10 hours.
