Ok I want to try to write my first erotica because I've been inspired

But I need advice. Without too much spoiling, what do you think the appropriate age gap in a sexual relationship is for the main character, who is 21 years old? I'm thinking his partner is going to be older than him

if it ok i have some soft tips:

1) don't be inspired just write / even when you are not motivated or inspired. the grind (sorry for the pun) apex's the inspiration.

2) read erotica on this forum and others see what people are writing / what connects for you

3) take classes learn techniques like juxaposition, personfication, symbolic imagry and others slowly weave them into whatever you are writing

4) people's attention span in an social media world is smaller than for us (maybe not us; could be just me) folks. short and sweet may help you more than long and elaborate.

5) don't worry about the age gap right away--just get something on e paper and you will figure it out while you are in motion. same thing wih character names or titles--figure it out in flux.
