the emotional attachment smut meme

A great deal of smut's allure is the erotic, there can be no mistake. Sex sells, they say. However, despite the appeal of writing sex in and of itself, some RPers desire the part of smut that represents the bonds between people made physical, examining character development, growth, and response. And often, many characters would not realistically end up in sexual situations with those they don't know or care for, anyway.

In both real life and RP, sex has both positive (love, bonding, physical pleasure) and negative (hatesex, manipulation) implications For this meme, while the former is encourage - characters get so much grief in their canons that it would be nice to see a spot of softness, a ray of light brought to them through someone else - the latter is certainly applicable; you often have to care enough to hate. In either case, the common thread of the meme is clear - the characters involved have an emotional attachment to each other. Lovers, first times, friends with intense feelings about benefits, people who can only be together once despite their emotions, or even rivals who can't live without each other, everything in between and outside is welcomed. As long as it falls under "emotional attachment," the bond is up for exploration.

And, perhaps, to be enjoyed for how alluring and erotic it is.

HOW TO PLAY
- Comment with your character and preferences. If you have any dynamic you would like to particularly play, you might want to mention it in a tiny blurb. Otherwise, blank comments are fine.
- For this meme to work at its maximum tagging potential, you pretty much have to be open to handwaving pre-established CR if you're keen on crosscanon. I highly encourage this. But if, for some reason, you're not down for that, please make a note so both you and the people who may potential reply know what you want.
- Reply to others.
