I agree that a sex scene that seems to interrupt the plot will just seem like a distraction, but when I'm reading, I can't discount my own mood as a factor in the experience.Jean Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805088081675965859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7396437919069310850.post-5236124252547722202016-10-01T01:59:40.006-04:002016-10-01T01:59:40.006-04:00Great topic, KD!

I've been publishing erotica for 17 years and writing for much longer, but I still am convinced that less is more. A sex scene that goes on for five or six pages would have to be really stellar (which means, original, insightful and surprising) to keep me interested.Lisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7396437919069310850.post-90553462810207128792016-09-30T12:10:35.484-04:002016-09-30T12:10:35.484-04:00I'm fond of seduction attempts.

They don't always result in a sex scene but there's a chance they might and a character may have to live with the consequences of letting themselves be seduced. It is like someone bursting through the door with a gun. It might result in a murder but even if the character just takes a shot to the leg, they'll be limping for the rest of the book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
