Keep it somewhat short and a lead-in to an attempted murder for the protagonist is my theory. <br /><br />Stephen Tremp<br />http://www.stephentremp.blogspot.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2028602332732833042.post-45789541810553484432009-07-07T17:41:39.854-04:002009-07-07T17:41:39.854-04:00Fabulously funny post.

Most people haven't thought about or paid attention to what the experience is like -- in part because I suppose they don't watch themselves or anyone else. I'm leaving out watching the average porn film because they have little to do with real sex.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2028602332732833042.post-17702199800520300022009-07-06T11:23:32.248-04:002009-07-06T11:23:32.248-04:00This post is a riot!

Knowing that there is an award for horrible sex scenes, I think I'll keep it that way.<br /><br />Helen<br /><a href="http://straightfromhel.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Straight From Hel</a>Helen Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794759602654727110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2028602332732833042.post-55619774661897476542009-07-06T09:07:19.628-04:002009-07-06T09:07:19.628-04:00Ha!

Too funny.<br /><br />My first novel had a sex scene that came out okay. Rather tender, I thought--as did some of my readers. Not to brag, just sayin'.<br /><br />For Book Two, and all future work, however, I'm in Diane's camp. I sort of fade to black at the key and critical moment. What a coward. Hey, I believe in privacy. Plus, at age 60, and clearly in my decrepitude, it's tough to do research. (Did I write that???)<br /><br />Best regards, Galen<br /><a href="http://www.galenkindley.com/blog" rel="nofollow">Imagineering Fiction Blog</a>joe doaks-Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05283066862112820202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2028602332732833042.post-73007899313903071132009-07-06T07:59:35.215-04:002009-07-06T07:59:35.215-04:00LOL - loved this post and can SO relate.

I've written sex scenes, kind of raw, in my Owen Fiddler book that are pretty good, but the really romantic sexy scenes? No banana. I tried, several times, in my new novel I'm writing. I'd do a draft and then have my wife and oldest daughter - both romance novel nuts - read it and critique it. Every time they told me it was NOT sexy and NOT romantic, and advised me to stick to what I know how to write and leave the steamy stuff to romance novelists. Sigh, oh well.<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow">The Old Silly</a>Marvin D Wilsonhttp://www.facebook.com/home.php#/Theoldsillymarvin?ref=profilenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2028602332732833042.post-91091035425159424112009-07-06T07:07:13.080-04:002009-07-06T07:07:13.080-04:00I keep mine very PG, avoiding the actual act and b...I keep mine very PG, avoiding the actual act and being pretty straightforward in my descriptions.<br />Guess I'd suck at romance writing!<br /><br />L.
