Ugh... I'm a total virgin, but even I know sex ain't like what they're describing. Gaaah... if it were, it would turn anyone with sense into a celibate and we'd have to start growing babies in bottles like in Brave New World.

Anyone who uses the word "pistons" in a sex scene has to turn in their creative license, stat.

Worse yet, he'd make it work and then everyone would be trying it.

But what about all the Terminator and Robocop fanfic writers ?

kittensgame, Sandcastle Builder, Homestuck, Welcome to Night Vale, Civ III, lots of print genre SF, and old-school SATT gaming if I had the time.  Also Pandemic Legacy is the best game ever.

The word that I am looking for here, I think, is "RoboCopulation".

Hey Neurovore:  I know you've written favorably about a book called The Kindly Ones in other threads; I trust it isn't the same one as this year's winner of the Soft Boiled Eggs in Sex Writing Award?

Almost certainly not; the one I have in mind is a Melissa Scott from 1987.

Certain analogies, if used at all, must be used sparingly and purposefully to define a small portion of the behavior, not the entire act.  Like 'pistons' ::)

Also, somebody really needs better translators...

I am intrigued by your ideas, and would like to follow you on Twitter.
