Understanding that we all have our own ideas about what is exciting and interesting, I am struck by how little 'fight' there is in some of what is posted.  I enjoy the concept of intense contests with decisive winners, whether it be intellectual mind twisting, 'ladylike' slap fests,  all the way to brutal fights and duels.

I see that others very much enjoy draws , and mutual respect, and mild competitiveness morphing into lovemaking.  Particularly in the genre of 'sexfighting' (sort of a misnomer) I find that there is very little actually fighting , or even striving for superiority. 

How much of a conflict is needed for something to be a catfight or sexfight?

Actually, this very topic kind of came to a head on this forum in a thread that was posted on here earlier this year. It was a thread which started as a story, but some users felt there wasn't enough fighting in it and asserted that it didn't even belong anywhere on this forum, while a few others regarded it as maybe their favourite story on here and vehemently defended it. The author herself actually made the best points I thought, so I'd say I agree with her opinion almost verbatim. If you're interested, here is a link to the thread: https://www.freecatfights.com/forums/index.php?topic=88091.msg609504#msg609504

I feel there has to be some element of fighting in these stories, but the fight can take many forms, but to my mind, no draws and no mutual respect...they fight because they can't stand each other!

What a great question!

I think 'intensity' is one thing most people on here could agree on
 - but when it comes to decisive endings or contests 'morphing into lovemaking',
 - I wonder if there might be a bit of a divergence in the views of female as opposed to male fans?

And I absolutely loved the "'sexfighting' (sort of a misnomer)" line

I think this is one of those categories where there is no right answer.  I think for most authors write what they enjoy.  If they like a lot of build up like me, they write a lot of build up.  If they just like the fight and nothing else, they write just the fight and nothing else.  If they want more of a competitive love making match, they do that.  If they want super violent fights, they have super violent fights.  I would say the actual description of the fighting is the hardest part, especially catfighting.  You have to be much more descriptive about it I think.  Think about most movie scripts.  For example in most Star Wars movies, the script says "They Fight" and that is it.  I think if you read something and it is your thing, you should encourage the writer to do more.  If it isn't, find somebody else who is your cup of tea and follow their work.  Demanding they write something else more to your liking is kind of silly and I don't think I have ever really seen it work out.  If you can't find somebody that does your thing, write it yourself!!!

Years ago, before I had access to the net, I didn't realize there were so many variations of a "catfight."  It's pretty clear there is no "one size fits all" type of fight.  What seems to be important to some (like bare feet for instance) is unimportant to others.

Personally I like to see a good prefight build up, followed by a long catball catfight.  I like even fights, where one girl doesn't really dominate, rather I prefer to see the girls fight until they are too tired to continue.  I also prefer catball, body to body, breast to breast fights over fist fights.  But that doesn't mean I don't get excited watching or reading about two girls in a stand up fist fight, or when one girl is the clear winner.

I think it's important that everyone feel free to comment or write about whatever type of fight they like.  No one is forcing anyone to read about a particular type of catfight.

One thing I’ve learned here is sometimes you can even like types of fights you never thought you would. I’m not into brutal fights because my main fantasy was two girls fighting for that I knew. Never wanted one hurt bad or even bleeding. Just to be physically overwhelmed by her opponent in every facet of the fight. Strength, body, sexiness and taunts. I’ve read stories that got rough and liked them because of the story line more so than the fight. The main thing I like is one they are fighting for someone. Two one girl separates herself as the stronger and hotter of the two. Size they match up well but the difference is in physical strength and a more voluptuous body. Then a clear winner who makes it known who the better woman is in the end. Like I said I’ve never been into the brutal and even the sex fight stuff but I’ve read stories that certainly were enjoyable with those things because of the build up and the result in the end.
