Sex? One orgasm or two?

I have to ask you what normal person sits and writes sex? Answer? Well normal people don’t. Normal people don’t think up strange places to have sex, how to do it, who and what to do it with and how fast or maybe slow to make it happen and will that be one or two or three orgasms for the heroine? And this is all on paper. It’s not real yet we spend hours writing and perfecting it. We agonize, we ask technical questions or we send snippets to writer friends to see it they believe what we have written is possible – “can his foot go there? Will she black out if she hangs upside down too long? If I described his penis like this how big do you reckon that is in your mind? No, of course size does not matter but this is fantasy after all – or am I being too fantastical? Would you scream if a man did that to you?” And then there are writers who check out positions on the internet or put Barbie dolls into strange positions with Ken to ascertain where body parts would go. “Sheer madness” - you say…. “get a life” - you yell…and yet this is part of our lives.

It’s not normal to agonize this much over sex when sex in itself is just not that difficult to actually do. And what happens when an erotic romance writer has sex? Is she thinking, “Ooh, this would be perfect for page 23 – can I stop and take notes?” or “Hmmm…I really must leave my latest release with him to read so he can get a clue” or “can I ask you a question while you’re doing that? What do you feel at this moment? Surging? Thrusting? Pumping?” Or “Will you indeed love me forever after this?” Or “If you were a wolf who changed into a man on a full moon, would you be inclined to bite a woman and if so where?”

Dead set – I say erotic romance writers are strange. No really – they’re quite troppo. And yes, I have spent a period of the day writing sex. Does it make me interested in actually have sex after wiring about it? Oh hell no.
