Don’t know I f I will be able to eat banannas again that. But enlightening as always and I have to agree I have tos ee some connection between my characters and just throwing in the sex just doesn’t work for me epecially if the characters aren’t meshing and the realbity isn’t there.

I think it’s good, when you’re writing and reading, to get a sense for the flavor of a couple. So some dudes love going down south! But yes, mix it up.

LMAO!! I actually have tears!!

Seriously, though…this was a really interesting discussion. I recently a read a story that had me rolling my eyes more often than I would have liked (NEVER would be ideal). What got me wasn’t that it was unbelievable, but that it was REPETITIVE. Each sex scene went essentially the exact same way.

Okay, I’ll give that in reality, we tend toward routine. But…I don’t want to read about a couple who ONLY do bent over a desk. Or that he detures south EVERY MOTHER LOVIN’ time her panties come off. You know what I mean? Change it up some! I’ve got enough monotony in my own sex life, for God’s sake.

@TESS:

…so I take it you haven’t gone to the back room at the grocer and shoved a banana up anyone’s backdoor?

Oh another thing. The for no reason/spontaneous sex scenes can get annoying. Sometimes, I wonder, “What the…?” or “How did we get there?” or “Okaaaay, NEXT page!” LOL!!

Oh I am sooo jealous. I’m DEFINITELY going to have to go and get a Mac. That was freaking cool. LMAO!!! Some of the things you ladies say and come up with. The fetishes you two were talking about. I definitely wouldn’t want to read it in a contemporary romance/erotic romance books. But I’d have to say you two do an EXCELLENT job with connecting your characters to your audience and I think that is what’s most important no matter what type of author you are. But I guess for me it’s even more important in romance novels. It what’s hooks your audience in. of course, you two know that very VERY well.

Also, I think the backdoor entry is a nightmare whether you are a virgin or not. LOL!!! But there DEFINITELY has to be a lot of trust and intimacy with your partner to be able to go that route. AND I’m not even sure I want to know what you two have been reading.

My daughter looked at the screen and said, “is Megan a blizzard cause her shirt is doing that?” (chameleon = lizard = blizzard)

Megan’s got the cool tricks!

And yes, make me believe it!
