>>96982989>artists and writers don't actually fap to their own workAs a drawfag, I've been fapping to my own stuff for the better part of a decade. Hell, they're probably the best faps I have, because I see exactly what I want to see at that moment in time. The exact cup size, the exact face, body type, the exact pose, the lingerie etc. They say everything's been done in porn, but everyone wants to see something ever so slightly different, and even the most miniscule detail can make the difference between a good orgasm, and an explosive one.
The actual secret is to not specifically be a PORN artist or writer. When you go down that route, you end up drawing weirder and weirder shit, eventually just making you numb to it all. Not every lewd artist can't get it up to their stuff, but for a lot of them, it's just an every day thing for them after a point. You gotta keep those moments when you're drawing or writing something you wanna jack it to "special," or it just becomes another regular part of your day.
