Hell yeah people clamor for more porn in fiction--why else do you think there's such a massive online fanfiction porn-based genre? The writers don't write it, and the readers want it, so they do the same as me: they write it themselves. Hey, pot, nice to meet you, name's kettle. *poke*
One of the few things they tell us that I think is actually useful in class is that you need to be as honest as possible, both with yourself and with your characters. And if that involves sex, if that involves violence - so what?
Y'know, to think I began Dancing as a test to see if I could write a story with gratuitous violence, that happens as easy and often as it did when I lived in the city. Within a few chapters, that one fell through. Not because I couldn't, but because the story didn't work: you'd be looking for the reason behind it, the thread, the plotline that would make it make sense. Twain was right about truth being stranger than fiction, because fiction has to make sense. ;D
