Great joke, even if it is a bit cruel on Newfoundland - where else can you spend a night in Dildo, after all?<BR/><BR/>As for sex in writing, I agree that in most books (erotica excepted, where it's kind of a given) it's largely unnecessary. That's not to say your characters can't be getting it away all over the place, but as in a lot of the art of writing, less is more. You rarely need to describe the act, just find an interesting way of saying that it has occurred (or is about to occur.)<BR/><BR/>I don't want to sound too prurient, but it should be possible to create a sexually charged atmosphere in a scene you're writing (to emphasise a growing chemistry between two characters, for instance) without resorting to a technical manual.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, we go to great lengths to choreograph fight scenes, or lovingly describe eviscerated corpses and the way the light glints on blood and gristle, so why do we get so het up about detailed carnality?<BR/><BR/>As for salmon - best cold smoked over oak, served with a little ground black pepper and olive oil (lemon is optional - depends how good the salmon is). A good dram of single malt on the side. Heaven.<BR/><BR/>And no thrusting required.JamesOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09332376784689207703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18499463.post-1144160721636161142006-04-04T10:25:00.000-04:002006-04-04T10:25:00.000-04:00Oh, there's a whole new sex topic!

If, as you mentioned, the sex serves a purpose then I pay attention to the details, if it's gratuitous (and I'm not reading erotica or a romance), chances are by the second or third time the go to the well, I scan through when the panting starts.James Goodmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08807865320537867045noreply@blogger.com
