When I started reading sex scenes on Wattpad, I found many authors described the male body and the female body in pretty much the same way. They described the sex in the same way, too, which is weird because these are supposed to be different people having sex not the same people having the same kind of sex. Like, is everyone around the world having the same kind of sex?

I hope not. 

Let's forge ahead, shall we?

Tips on Cliché Sex Scenes

Make sure the orgasm is simultaneous. To climax in unison like synchronized swimmers is crucial... even though it'll be your virgin MCs first time and your male romantic lead is a player who's had tons of sex.

Are condoms a thing anymore?

Making love is wonderful. That can be the first sexual experience your cliché couple have: sweet and sensual. It absolutely cannot be the second. Make sure your second and future scenes are hot with panties ripping and curses flying. 

Get down and dirty for the Dark Romance and Erotica. The more shocking the better. Sex in cliché Dark Romance and Erotica are all about the shock factor.
