Honestly, I don't want to read the last kind. I'm not into scenes of pure lust. Even if my H/h are sexual quickly, there has to be some sort of an attraction between them that is more than "ooh look at her..[insert body part]" "I'll bet he's got a great..[insert bodypart]".<BR/><BR/>That's why I can't write Quickies. I have a hard time showing that kind of connection quickly.Jacquéline Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15763280397841660587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3468322635677076272.post-10553873699489557242008-03-01T14:48:00.000-05:002008-03-01T14:48:00.000-05:00Landing on the floor is definitely not romantic bu...Landing on the floor is definitely not romantic but it can be hilarious if neither is hurt. If we're being at all realistic when writing we should include some humor with the sex too.<BR/><BR/>You "think" the house hunk removes his shoes? You're not sure?

I guess, there has been a swing to writing more sex in romance because that's what the public wants. I also think that people are different and what is 'romance' to one is not to another. All your points are completely valid and there is no right answer but it's a good topic to have brought up.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12012768592941285677noreply@blogger.com
