Navel-gazing -- but at least it's about porn.

This is something I've been meaning to post about for ages now, and bagheera_san's current poll has reminded me of it.

Those of you who write porn -- do you find the porn you've written hot?

Because while I quite enjoy reading other people's pr0n, I find that the stuff I've written just does nothing for me. I briefly find it exciting while I'm coming up with the idea, but once I've actually turned that idea into words, and gone over it a few times, and agonized over pacing and word choice and syntax and all the rest (which, it's very possible other people find writing this stuff easier than I do, and thus don't have to agonize quite so much) -- well, by that point, I've pretty much beaten any potential hotness into the ground. I look at sex scenes I've written and all I can see are the flaws in the writing, places where I wish I'd used different phrasing or come up with a better image or whatever. At best, even if I'm not cringing at stuff I wish I'd written better, I'm still just seeing the technical details of the writing laid bare, and not... uh, *other things* laid bare.

Which makes it always this wonderfully happy surprise when I get a comment on something I've written that the commenter thinks was hot. As well as a relief that the scene worked for somebody, since it sure isn't working for me anymore.

So I'm curious about you other porn writers. Do you get turned on by your own material?
