How Is Sex Inaccurately Portrayed In Fanfiction?

Let's talk about ~throbbing members~.

If you're anything like me, some of your formative sex education — for better or for worse — came from NSFW fanfiction.

And you probably know that for every rec-worthy fic, there are three more that are cringeworthy, over-the-top, or just plain wrong about sex, even if they're hot AF.

So, we want to hear all your gripes and rants about sex in fanfic.

What things did fanfic "teach" you that you later found out were not true at all?

What are the things that make you yell "THAT'S NOT HOW THAT WORKS" at your screen?

Which tropes, words, euphemisms, etc. show up ALL. THE. TIME. and make you sick?

Share your biggest pet peeves — or even just things that crack you up — in the comments or via the dropbox below.

And don't be afraid to go into detail, get explicit, and have fun with it.

Your submission could be featured in an upcoming BuzzFeed Health article.
