How To Write A Book: What Turns Your Character On?

Do they like veiny hands? Do they always seem to fall in love with their co-workers? Do they have a thing for authority? Do they want to command it, or give it away?

Do they want to be coddled and held? Do they want to disobey? Do they want rules just to break them?

Would they prefer to be watched? By a crowd? By just one person? By one person in particular? Do they go to parties where someone plays the violin without any clothes on, where they eat sushi off a naked body?

Do they like things they’d never admit to? Do they like things that they publicly, very publicly, condemn? Are they looking for lovers as they give their sermons…flickers of knowing glances in the crowd?

Do they have a memory they return to, over and over? How often do they pleasure themselves? Do they read a book, have a favorite video, or rely solely on their imagination?

What is too much for them? What kinks turn them off completely, leave them running for the hills? What are their dealbreakers? What makes them say “good for you, but not for me”?

What are their in-betweens? Things that they don’t come up with on their own, but do for fun and to please their partner? How does masturbation help them grow? How does sex with a partner help them grow? How do they learn to say what they want? Did they learn this early on, or later in life?

Do they like bigger, or smaller? Do they like swings, or paddles, or both? Do they need a safe word? Do they always use the same one, or do they have a different word for each partner?

Do they pay for photos? For voice notes? For stories? From whom, and why? What about that particular person turns them on…makes them the most desirable, the most qualified?

Do they have fantasies that they’d never do in real life, or have they done things in real life that they had never previously fantasized about?

Is the risk a part of the turn-on, or can they only relax when they feel completely safe, protected, secure?

What turns your character on?
