(I've not read much erorom so I can't really comment except to say that I can handle graphic when the emphasis is on the emotion and not the body parts or specific techniques.)<BR/><BR/>I mean, no matter how much emotion is invested, there are only so many ways to excite with a basic kiss-touch-missionary scene. Maybe it's not so much that it's unusual to me but that it is to the characters and therefore, the excitement in their POV brings excitement to me as a reader.PatriciaWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04572087157439187319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-89342481757688989862008-02-15T18:23:00.000-06:002008-02-15T18:23:00.000-06:00When I'm writing my erotic romance sex scenes ever...When I'm writing my erotic romance sex scenes everything seems to be about the details and the characters reactions to them.

I read for the characters and I wants LOTS of sexual tension, a lot of yearning, obsession and <I>legitimate</I> misunderstandings about each other. The longer the writer makes me wait, the better.

When I got to one of the details in that scene, the crowd became very still and you could tell I had their complete interest as that part of the scene unfolded. But they didn't know the characters very well because this was just an excerpt. So that made me wonder.Edittorrenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14295505709568570553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-58201206463408804702008-02-15T06:52:00.000-06:002008-02-15T06:52:00.000-06:00First off, glad to hear your cousin's okay. Second...First off, glad to hear your cousin's okay. <BR/><BR/>Secondly, about romance... it's all about the character. I'll say that about pretty much any genre, though. I want to relate to my characters and see life through their eyes.<BR/><BR/>Thus, the emotional part is extremely important. And yet, the blocking is, too. Without the physical movement, the reader doesn't know WHY the character is feeling this, and so we can't feel it along with her (usually) or him.Susan Helene Gottfriedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12778191943289129869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-1764669606115713782008-02-14T23:19:00.000-06:002008-02-14T23:19:00.000-06:00I always find that it's the characters that matter...I always find that it's the characters that matter to me - what they're thinking, what they're yearning for etc. So, I'm always more interested in the emotional power of love scene than who puts what where... Though, I love laughter and fun in love scenes too, so if the physical inventiveness will lead to fun and/or laughter AND emotional intensity...<BR/><BR/>Okay, okay, I quite obviously want it all :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
