There's another drawback to writing in erotic cliche: often a reader can tell you don't know what you're taling about.

I recently read a story in which a guy ties up a girl, starts screwing her, and then pulls out and slides right into her ass. No grease, no warm-up, nothing (& she's a virgin). Then he pulls it out and finishes in the normal way, and of course they both have a fabulous time.

Now, I can do without condom use, and I can excuse the 14" dicks and the "34 DD" [sic] cups sizes, but you've got to at least give the impression that you've been there and done that. An anal story like that makes me think that, not only has the writer never done anal, but he's probably never been laid in his life.
