Also, the reason that line works, from Stephen King or ANYONE, is because EVERYONE knows exactly what level of hard on he's talking about. It's less of an "ew gross, pervert" reaction and more of an "oh, yeah, been there" reaction. And I've never read anything by Stephen King, so I have no particular loyalty there. He's just a dude who's had his share of boners, right?
On the subject - I have an excellent YA novel to recommend: "I'll Give you the Sun" by Jandy Nelson. It's in dual POV of fraternal twins. The boy in it uses some powerful bonerisms throughout.
It's a really good book. I picked it up to try to find a quote for you and I got sucked into the writing immediately. Really unique style. I suspect you'll dig it. I should read more of her stuff, too.
"Boners and Sympathy" would make a great series title. Or band name.
My current plan is to just go for it... wish me luck 😂 (also I love the name of this post)
Good luck! To be honest, I’ve written plenty that I simply don’t share.
Blake! I miss your stories! Hope you are well!
Thank you Maegan! I miss workshop with you and everyone. I took a break but I’m writing again, I’ll post something soon
Go hard or go home, I say. 😉

You know I’m raising fraternal twins? So, boners + sympathy = very intrigued

You know who has an awesome author name? Manly Wade Wellman
I do like the name Manly. Maybe I will adopt that as my pen name.
Manly Heil
As far as I known Manly Wellman was his real name. I should have named my son Studly Dude Studdude
I was on a soccer then softball team with my bar friends back in the day and I went by Magnus for purposes of intimidation. 😂😂
im always really anxious about writing sex stuff...usually avoid it at all costs. If it's well written it can be beautiful and thought provoking.
And arousing.
And then at the other extreme there's 50 shades of nay...
