So, I'm writing a story that has some graphic scenes in it, and I wondered what would be taking such things too far - description-wise.
Example 1:
A scene where two lovers are copulating while discussing their nefarious plot.
How detailed can the description be, before it becomes distasteful?
Example 2:
A scene where a person is being forced upon.
How detailed can it be, in terms of what is happening to the victim?
Example 3:
A person being brutally maimed to death.
How detailed can it be, in terms of gore, sounds and thoughts of both the victim and the attacker?
I'd like some feedback/opinions, because when I showed what I'd written to my family, they said they were disturbed by the content, so wondered where the line should be drawn...
Sorry if this is too controversial a subject, or makes anyone feel uncomfortable, but I'd like to know people's thoughts on it so I can improve the way I've written my story.
As they say, better to nip it in the bud, than to let it grow out of control.
