Sports = sex
Apr. 21st, 2007 05:52 pmI, and others, have said this before, but it bears repeating.
Sports, in shounen, equals sex.
This becomes very clear when you try to write actual matches of any kind. It is just like writing a sex scene, complete with the need to balance technical description with emotive/experiential description.
Most of the vocabulary is even the same.
And if you're not in a good mental space to write a sex scene, a match scene isn't going to come easily either.
*sighs*
