#Inky tackles this trope like a seasoned pro with a gravitas and emotional maturity that make a masterclass

i’m sorry if this doesnt interest you but I love your writing so I thought to make a request… reader x viktor as 17-18 yr olds… losing their virginity to one another?? horny and wholesome.. hehe

Hey anon! First off, thank you so much, I’m so pleased you like my work 🖤

It’s not that your prompt/request doesn’t interest me, because it’s a very cute idea indeed. I’m not comfortable writing sex under age 18 (I’m barely comfortable writing sex under age 21). Part of this is out of respect for the fact that I’m an 18+ blog and it feels both a little icky of me to put teenage characters in a sexually explicit situation for adults to ogle while simultaneously telling a teen audience they are unwelcome. I may be old as dirt but boy do I remember being a super fuckin horny teen. I think teenagers should have their own horny spaces to be horny teenagers in. Ones that don’t include adults like myself.

I also have some issues with virginity prompts or motifs. The Baron’s Daughter is the first fic I’ve written that explicitly deals with a virgin reader and if I’m being honest it’s only that way because it’s a period piece that pretty much required it. I have gotten A LOT of virgin requests from every different angle and if I’m being real with you? It’s got me a little concerned. Virginity is a construct that’s been used as a weapon and tool of repression for so long. It’s imaginary value and worth overinflated and used to degrade or shame. Women and men don’t get equal footing in how we are treated over it, and what qualifies as ‘losing’ it is often very cisgendered and heteronormative in its interpretation. And it’s not only that I don’t like to celebrate something as questionably repressive as the concept of virginity, but I don’t like to contribute to the fairytale that your first time is or should be something spectacular. Most people have a pretty messy/confusing/unsexy/awkward first time and then feel badly about their choices because it didn’t go the way media led them to believe it would. And hey, some people have a great first time and high fives all around for them. It’s just not usually the case.

Will I write more virgin trope things? Possibly. Because it’s part of the human condition. I’m just not sure I’ll be tackling any fics where that’s the central conceit at the moment. I’ve got a full roster of fics I’m working on right now, so even if I did feel comfortable with it I sadly don’t have the time. I appreciate you asking though, and appreciate you reading my stuff, and giving me the opportunity to talk about this a little. Thank you nonny 🖤
