By now, you know all the tricks to bringing your man to a mind-blowing climax. But climax is by no means synonymous with “ending.” If last semester’s screenwriting course is to be believed, your climax should occur only about four-fifths into your sexual story arc. That leaves you time to wrap up non-central storylines, revisit characters one last time, and really drive your thematic content home. This crucial part of any hookup sesh is the “denouement.”
In case you have forgotten some of the basics, here’s a crash course: You’ll want to take it slow at first, then increase in both speed and intensity. Lay out the important details (nature imagery, oral sex) that will culminate in a meaningful climax later on. Once your man is thoroughly aroused, you’ll want take it home with quick, rhythmic syntax, culminating in a peak. This is the climax.
However, you can’t coast on plot momentum for the rest of the narrative. Picture this: your man is lying there, out of breath (because he so identifies with your protagonist, who’s just been through a lot). He’s going to need some time to recover. This is the falling action, it’s crucial to be supportive of your man during this time.
Finally, the denouement. This is when you want your man to ponder your work, and perhaps even voice aloud the questions it has evoked for him. Questions like, “What are we (in this post-modern literary landscape)?” “How are you so beautiful (of a writer)?” and “Will you be my girlfriend?” You’ll find the payoff of these details you laid out early in the story as he’s lying there catching his breath. If you’ve done everything right, this should tie it altogether and give him something to think about when he leaves the bedroom.
Once your man is bathed in blissful satisfaction, due to the satisfying nature of the way in which you wrapped up your two characters’ journeys, your job is done. With any luck, he’ll be totally wiped out — a true testament to the power of your abilities. Remember: A meaningful sexual experience has a beginning, middle, and an end; so don’t try anything too post-modern!
