I just don't know what it is... But... I just can't seem to focus on my stories recently... It sucks. 
So I've been devoting time to both Editing and character for the additional Queens... Hoping that something stirs in my mind...Dear God what am I doing? · 12:01am Apr 22nd, 2016
So... 'Pen Pals' and 'A Day In The Hives'
I hit a block in 'Pen Pals' and my idea is... I need to write... *Sigh* Ovi's Hive... 
At least until my mind starts working again. SO onto a bit of a confession. I have absolutely No fucking clue what I am doing. 
So... I need a bit of help.
It should be no surprise that Ovi is... Well... Sexual. And... I have no idea how to write... You know what... Screw it.
I have no idea how to write sex scenes. And given Ovi's hive's preferred profession, That is a rather important ability. So what I need to know, are there any tips you guys can give me to help this go easier? I admit to knowing nothing about writing these scenes and I feel as though they will be kind of bad.... So any tips you guys can give would be very appreciated.
Oh god what the hell am I doing?
Do you know the writer of the story Shifting Melodies? He or she has great sex scenes. You should check it out if you don't know.
uh, I think you already wrote the idea for ovi in your opening chapter. Whorehouse, open sexuality, wide diversity of fetishes, unnerving to uptight mares like Twilight. It is a potential powder keg. Focus on the comedy aspect and Twilight's reactions. She either gets some brain bleach from discord or she ends up a bit more 'loose' in more ways than one.
Oh No! This does sound like a bit of a problem.
Damn it I really want to help you out here like I promised but like you I am also not so good with the whole sex scenes sort of thing.
Now I could just list a couple of stories for you to read over so that you see how others have done it but that involves a good deal of research and obviously “nobody got time for dat!”. However I do think Neosuduno is on the right track (damn it he posted it before I was finished Writing out my own comment!
).
So like I said I am not too great with the whole sex scene sort of stuff but I do know that if done properly they can be used to great a whole deal of powerful emotions and create deep messages for the reader. But on the opposite scale a poor one can either gross out the reader, confuse the reader or worse of all annoy a reader when they think it should not be there, avoiding that is pretty crucial.
With your lack of expertise in this area it may be best that we avoid this sort of risk (for now). But of course we still need to display Ovi's hive as the lustful one, correct.
To that end we have, as Neosuduno suggested, the power of the Twilight. In all honesty you could not have chosen a better character to build your domino set with than Twilight Sparkle. Out of all the ponies and possibly Changelings in existence Twilight for all her knowledge would probably deal with this type of situation the worst (at least for her, for you this is brilliant). All you need to do is think like the Twilight, essentially becoming the Twilight.
Thinking like Twilight she would most likely do her best for Celestia but at the same time try to avoid any topic about sex. As such if the topic is brought up chance are that she would try to change the topic. In cases of her accidentally witnessing something the “event” she would probably run or close the door quickly with the only explanation for the audience is that they were doing “things”. I know the audience will get it.
Obviously as Neosuduno stated this can only be achieved successfully with the comedy route, otherwise people will expect at least a little info on the ahem.. “act”. However The Shaded Changeling is not like that. You love the nitty gritty of world building even if it lies in his realm. Lucklily Twilight is similar so if you want to give viewers more intel all you have to do is make Twilight scientifically interested in something. What is great about this is that it means you can get away with talking about the scientific side of why they do what they do rather then the exact specifics of the “act” that they do.
A good way to make the reader really understand the Hive is by making Twilights visit a sort of game to the Changelings. Wait you ask in what way. At first it will be all serious (A pony princess is in their hive!) but once they work out that Twilight is a virgin well… Lets just say the word gets around quick and some Changeling wants to be the first to climb that mount-ain or just play around with her while they have the opportunity.
Overall yeah Ovi's hive is sexual but that does not mean you have to write a sex scene. Just channel your inner Twilight and swoop around the issues like she would or avoid it like Pony Terminology in Converted, Like Shade would.
To answer your amazing question “oh god what the hell am I doing”…
Exactly what you like Cadence

P.S If you are looking for research in this area here are a couple of stories that I guess could hep in the area.
1: A Dream is a Wish... or a Nightmare: Pretty good representation of Twilight trying to avoid sex things
2: Changing Lives: Brilliant example of making sex meaningful yet still not beyond M rating (Prior readings are not important, the story is set during the exact same time as the main series and is a spin-off).
3: The Conquering of Love: The latest chapters of this series tackle this topic although it is pretty long until that point...
P.P.S Thank Chrysalis I just reached Ovi in Converted or else I would have nothing to say here.
3888145 While yes, the better idea would be to avoid most mentions of 'the act' the main issue is, that is basically what Ovi is doing 60% of the day. Avoiding a sex scene is nearly impossible, Ovi has the amazing talent of being able to coherently speak even when getting rutted by two Stallions. Also, as long as I'm testing the water, might as well jump in.While yes, I do believee Twilight is still a virgin a fact Ovi will touch upon the Changelings within Ovi's Hive can be a little... stubborn... They know when they aren't going to convince someone.
More to the topic, while yes, Twilight is primarily the observer in many of these scenerios. One of the smaller reasons why I started writing 'A Day In The Hives' was to test out writing different types of lives. (Ex. Crazy inventor, Prostitute, Lawyer, Warrior, Spymaster, etc.) and while yes... I do kind of hate having to write them, Ovi does have some rather... Unique abilities within that make her the Queen of Lust "I can make a Stallion cum in ten seconds with just my tongue. It's an art.
I certainly will try to avoid mentioning 'The Act' as much as I can before those points. But there is a reason I am making Ovi's story a separate story. I... Kind of want to be on the safe side and let it flow how I feel it should. Ovi gone get fucked by multiple Stallions
A few of my friends have actually helped me in planning out how to write it well, and I'm going to be honest, I need to break the skin of this shield eventually, might as well make it now.
I thank you for the time you took to write the response, however I am committed to this idea, and now I will work through it. God... I hate stubborn me...
Wish me luck, Spindle,
Cadence
P.S: I may try to make a... Less Vulgar version for the main story... I'm not sure.
P.P.S: Yay for convenience!
3888151 And there we have it, the mark of a brilliant creator. Not afraid to venture into the unknown and try out new things. So with that in mind good luck and I completely support your decision and cannot wait to see the glorious outcome it will certainly result in.
I did not realise this was going to be a completely different story. Wow surprise, surprise.
I wish that I had friends who would help me with this sort of thing...
Wishing you all the luck in the world Cadence
Not that you even need it,
