The sex bits I've read in your stories so far always have the ring of truth and experience to them, so I'm not surprised. But I am surprised that English is your second language. I've read a few of your stories and I didn't realize!
Most of the ST:XI stories I've read have very believable sexual mechanics as far as sex stories go. I wonder if this has changed over the history of porny fanfic, now that we all have the huge library of sex that is the internet at our fingertips. I still do feel that some authors bring their own touches that feel like personal experience. Maybe it's when they're very particular in their way of describing something, or when it's in a specialized area like specific kinky practices that I know enough about to recognize expertise in.
I have a running list of personal quirky sexual experiences that I want to include in a fic someday. Little things like the way something felt to me when I did it the first time, things that I've never heard described in the exact way I felt it. I've also started using my boyfriend as a resource for how things feel on a man's anatomy. I still feel like I'm bullshitting a bit when I describe how a man feels during sex, but I guess that's what writing is.
I have good betas - and well, I write mostly in English since 2002 so it should be good :)
Sex mechanics can be hard. Personal experience usually helps, though OTOH personal experience can also mean one filters ideas to one's own personal preferences. The trick is to keep them in tune with the characters and still do some research if needed.
My husband is a great source of information too *G* They are very useful, ain't they ;)?
Good luck with your writing :) Glad you showed up here.
