I’ve written plenty over the years, most of it not for public consumption. I wrote some erotica- short stories that were posted on a couple of different sites on the web that catered to that type of content. I do enjoy writing a good sex scene (and for those who haven’t ventured into that genre it’s harder than it seems). I close my eyes and imagine what comes next, the touch, the feel, the motion, and yes- the body parts. Now I know there are many authors out there who give the privates some flowery names- literally. Which for some readers, they like to have the bumping uglies be a nice tidy affair. I am not one of them.
I want my sex scenes to be raw, sweaty, heart pumping moments that leave the reader needing a moment to catch their own breath. So the verbiage is raw, the emotions are real, and the action is not for the faint of heart- most times at least. I don’t ever recall being in the moment and asking my partner to rub my bundle of nerves. Although I might try it just to see the look on my husband’s face. (I gave myself a giggle just writing that). Now I also realize that using the same words over and over again make the sex scene as exciting as writing a grocery list, but I at least will use the anatomical, and sometimes gritty terminology depending on how down and dirty the sex scene is.
Now I know you’re wondering why I haven’t used any terms in this blog to demonstrate my point. It’s simple really, I haven’t set the blog for NSFW content…. yet.
I will.
Have a wonderful day!
