The first sex scene
Sunday, October 5th, 2008I knew that headline would grab someone’s attention. Yes, today I’m talking about sex.
Last night, I reached the point in my new book, BEEF CAKE, where the heroine meets the hero for the 2nd time. And there is some hot and nasty sex. Well, I haven’t quite gotten to the ‘hot and nasty’ part yet, but there is clothing removal, kissing, and some other nice little things going on so far.
I love writing the first sex encounter between the hero and heroine. There’s something to be said for the first time. Lots of big emotions, trust issues perhaps, fears maybe….and learning to let go with someone new. *The* someone. A lot of raw emotions.
My hero and heroine have one of those undeniable attractions going on. It helps when he’s a fantasy man conjured up by a magical cookbook!
I want the first sexual encounter to be explosive. Different. Memorable.
Today, I’d like to finish writing this scene. Let’s hope I can find some peace and quiet so that I can concentrate on sexy things. It’s hard to ‘get in the mood’ to write a scene like this one when your kids are interrupting you every half hour or the cat is meowing for attention.
What do you, as a reader, like to see in a sex scene? Anyone brave enough to answer??
