Beg for It by Megan Hart is another book that gives a great slow burn to the sexual tension and the protagonist’s inner dialogue makes you feel every second of closeness to the other person. The Master by Kresley Cole is also a great book that gives great scenes of slow build-up, because the dominant’s control of his submissive extends to timing, and every scene is chef’s kiss perfect.
For those familiar with queer love stories, a great take on the younger/older aspect of things is For Real by Alexis Hall. It’s a rather tender and charged read and I can guarantee you’ll need a cold shower after each scene. The silence between the protagonists and how he touches her is simply unmatched. The classic author A.N. Roquelaure (under the pseudonym of Anne Rice) also wrote some extremely sensual scenes of restrained pleasure in the Beauty series, a true classic of erotic literature. Sometimes even older books come up with new and more creative ways to depict a slow burn.

My main interest in the memory is irrelevant to me. I’m more fascinated by the setting’s internal logic. For instance, the ‘Boneys’ are not just old zombies. They are the final stage of the plague and are entities consumed by such extreme nihilism that they hunt down and destroy anything that is alive and which has feelings, including other, dead zombies. Thus the enemy is not the disease itself but the despairing destruction of hope of any kind in a world that is set up against such hope. My interest in R’s story is less about R becoming human again and more about R choosing hope in a world that is set up to oppose it. This is a move from body horror to existential horror, and that is what has really stayed with me.

The term ‘dicked down’ is used as an extremely direct slang term, similar to being ‘hooked up’ or ‘slept with’. However, while those terms can be somewhat vague as to what exactly happened between the two individuals, ‘dicked down’ is not. The term is commonly used in an extremely heterosexual manner and refers to penetrative sex of some kind or another. It is often used to denote a somewhat transactional or very physical connection, which lacks any sort of romanticism. As such, you are unlikely to come across the term in a romance novel and it is far more at home in a gritty urban fantasy, in a rap verse, or in a very edgy contemporary drama trying to gain a genuine insight into a particular subculture and using the most appropriate language to do so.

Many people resist the changes in language used to refer to sex, but it is an area that has evolved significantly over the past hundred years. Writers from the past often used euphemism, and were often restricted by the constraints of Victorian prudishness. Today’s writer has the opposite problem: such language can seem to be affected or even silly. So writers have reverted to using straightforward language to refer to sex in order to be authentic. The expression “Dick me down” is an example of this current. It is based upon a very recent, perhaps short-lived, part of the English language and thus is of interest to historians in order to gauge whether it will be found to be a temporary phenomenon or a permanent addition to the language.

This term is often used within fanfiction, in book blurbs and descriptions, and even to describe adult animations and comics. Some artists have even built entire followings off of how they draw the anatomy of their characters in a very focused way, and then their fans engage in semi-ironic semi-sincere ‘worship’ of that artists’ artistic focus.
In terms of application to a specific platform, “worship” might be used as a content tag in literature, while as the focus of a fandom, it comments on the artist’s known strengths and preferences and elicits reaction from fans about their works as well as the artist’s style.

The internet is also a reminder of the worst aspects of language. You can be admiring a cute cat playing the piano on YouTube within minutes, and then spend hours scrolling through the worst of the worst on etymology of intensely sexist Jamaican cursing. Information is power. But the worst part is that once you have learned something, you cannot “unlearn” it. This particular “word” does not serve any positive purpose. Learning it does not make one a more complete or wise individual in any way. It merely provides another term for hatred that can be added to one’s vocabulary.
This word is one of nothing but harm to most people’s lives. It adds nothing good to the lexicon of someone who learns it. All it does is further pollute the vocabulary of the mind of someone who speaks it. Sometimes I wish that things were still the way they were. Such knowledge was kept within the community that had full comprehension of its power and evil. It was not disseminated to everyone on the planet to be further watered down. Not everything needs to be a Wikipedia entry. Some words are best kept local. They should have power and consequences that are understood completely by the speaker of that word or words. Not a trivia question for the rest of the world.

Am I thinking of that same scene in that same webnovel? That would be the scene with the male lead sitting the female lead on his lap at a banquet. And then they go for a carriage ride and it gets all bumpy and her tries to sit still but... nevermind. It's a very well-known trope - thigh riding.
I should add that while there are many poor novels that consist of nothing more than pornography and plot, well-written novels can actually use thigh-riding scenes to further the development of the characters. A proud character may be forced into a situation like this in order to deal with certain desires he has been trying to keep hidden, or in order to lose a power struggle. In some cases, the scene can even be used to reveal a character in a moment of intense vulnerability, or in a shocking display of agency. I read a horror-romance novel a while back that featured a vampire who used a variation on this act of intimacy as a way to feed off of humans, and it was uniquely terrifying.
It’s funny thinking about the practical details in these descriptions, like is everyone wearing silk trousers for this? Will there be any hilarious wardrobe malfunctions or terrible wrinkles? It’s so silly but at the same time, it brings home the emotional core of the scene, which is forced intimacy and the thrill of crossing an important social boundary. It’s a very physical metaphor for ‘oh no, there’s no going back now’.

The term ‘hip pop’ sits perilously on the edge of being able to be discussed respectfully and safely on forums, and being highly likely to attract complaints of sexual explicitness. While in discussions of dance, or LGBTQ+ history for example the term would be completely safe and proper, in general forums it would need to be used with extreme caution and would be sensible to avoid it unless 100% sure of the context and the history of the person posting. From a moderation point of view it is a complete minefield and therefore it is sensible for people to avoid using it wherever possible. If you are talking about the dance form then perhaps use the more formal term ‘hip pop’ or ‘pelvic pop’ to avoid any hassle. The best way to avoid trouble on forums and similar platforms is to have a good understanding of your audience, and the site’s rules.

An ultimate “deal with the devil” story, where instead of the usual dark lord, the main antagonist is a flaky RPG system. The NTR system trades off in an evil fashion, but the hero just happens to have a higher value for his “talent” than normal, so he’s just best at this stuff.
So the ‘Suffering’ resource that others may have stored away might be generated by the Protagonist in especially intense and emotional scenes. This resource can then be used to cast the more powerful versions of his ability. The talent of the Protagonist could act as a multiplier for his ability to generate this special resource.
The result is an unusual pacing where moments of intense drama are also moments of resource gathering for the character. Rather than simply reading through a scene of the character dealing with heartbreak, for example, he is grinding for Grief Crystals. The unusual blend of genres to create this world is, to some people’s minds, fascinating in its audacity.
