Talking during sex...

will11
I find myself curious as I've been reading oodles of lovely Buffy fanfic. It seems to be a constant in fics that Spike likes to talk during sex. A lot. To the point of "babbling". This doesn't seem to be a wholly Spuffy phenomenon either as I've read it in Spike/Joyce, Spike/Angel, and Spike/Riley (Hey, told you guys I was branching out).

So I'm left wondering...what is this based on? In canon.

Like, I know the idea that Spike likes performing cunnilingus in fics is based on his going down on the Buffybot in Intervention (Cause...stop and marvel that the first sexual act he does with a robot is to perform oral sex on her).

So where does this sex babbling come from? In the sex scenes we see in the show, he's pretty darn quiet. The only thing I can think of is his line in Wrecked about Buffy and him "whispering nasties" to each other.

Is that it? Is it?

And I'm not complaining at all! I enjoy this particular Spike-trait as seen in every fanfic EVER! I'm just wondering why it seems to be almost universal.

On Fridays we used to wear an onion on our belt, which was the style at the time
Back in the day I remember Kalima commenting that after she wrote Mr. Talky Mouth, Spike being a babbly lover suddenly seemed to be the norm. And I remember being abashed, because I'd written a fic that referenced Spike talking muchly during sex.

I don't think it's canon and I don't recall it being a standard in fanfic until Kalima's story. Honestly, I think it was just a fanfic detail that became fanon...like Buffy smelling like vanilla and the fanged foursome being called the scourge of Europe.

*g* Reading Mr. Talky Mouth for the first time is what prompted me to finally ask about this. I've wondered for a long time, but reading a fic that explicitly dealt with it tipped my curiosity over.

It's lovely fanon, then. :)

the fanged foursome being called the scourge of Europe.

...the Fanged Four weren't called the scourge of Europe? Huh.

Yeah, I definitely thought Spike or Angel referred to themselves as such...
