I know exactly what you mean. Your own stuff doesn’t do it because you know exactly what happens, how it happens, and how it was made. No excitement or magic. It sucks when you have really specific tastes in pornography and have to beg trade or bribe others into filling your niche, which they might not particularly find ultra sexy.

Yessss that explains it much better. I get bummed out when people are like ‘if you want this content then make it yourself.’

Like I totally understand where they’re coming from and yes I can make it myself, but I’m still not getting the content I want cuz I can’t even enjoy my own work.

I don’t get any kicks out of the smut I write.

Except for omo maybe… gets a little steamy as I write it but rereading it gives me nothing.

So when people reblog my smut fics and say it was hot I am pleasantly surprised.
