need a break from the realities of
our lives and books offer an escape
into a different experience.
Well-written erotica can offer you
new ideas to try in the bedroom or
any other room in the house. It
might inspire you to try a new
positions or even a new toy.
Interesting stories also spark
conversation amongst friends. I’ve
had many conversations about
good and bad novels over the years
and still do.
Novels (the kind that really suck
you in) can help release stress and
reduce anxiety. Sometimes we
Probably the best compliments
I’ve ever received about my erotic
stories have come when my words
have had such a strong impact on
my reader that it’s actually changes
them. They connected with the
characters and circumstances and
saw how they too have overcome
their challenges in life.
It’s not surprising that I would be
an advocate for reading erotic
stories since I write hot, steamy
novels. And I too love to read and
enjoy being charted away on a new
journey. I’ve talked to a lot of
readers and they can’t all be
wrong. Reading erotica gets us
jazzed and horny and that’s not a
bad thing.
Warm hugs and happy orgasms,

Wetting the Lips: The importance of sexual tension
KISSES, CARESSES,
WHISPERS IN THE NIGHT
Wetting the lips: the importance of
sexual tension
Anticipation…the breath before
the kiss…the sizzle of an
accidental touch….eye contact that
strips you naked even though
you’re across the room surrounded
by a crowd…it’s all a part of the
dance of sexual tension.
As an author who writes
contemporary romantic suspense,
sexual tension is as important to
the story as the suspense plot.
Sure, I let them fool around here
and there, but there’s always a
twist that delays their satisfaction–
like a murder, psychological
torture, dangerous secret, nutty ex,
general mayhem…you get the
idea. Just like with the suspense
plot that needs to keep the pages
turning with one twist after
another, it’s my purpose as an
author to make the characters
squirm for as long as possible.
If the characters are
squirming…then so is the reader.
Sexual tension is underrated, both
in life and in writing. There needs
to be a realistic build up that
doesn’t cross the line into frigidity
or hostility. After all, both in
reality and in fiction, the point is to
fuel interest not kill it in its tracks.
When writing sexual tension, it’s
important to treat it like you do the
natural progression of the plot.
Keep it real, don’t force it, let it
flow. (This works with real life,
too.)
Once the time comes for
consummation–KaBoom! Light
that baby on fire. Don’t hold back.
The point of the build up is
satisfaction. Can the tension
remain after the big bang? You bet,
but it requires a bit more effort.
Just be aware of that.
Flirting is good for the soul–in real
life and in writing–yet seems to be
forgotten after the botta-bing of an
orgasm. Seduction is a sensuous
game that should be savored, no
matter what stage of the
relationship. That’s what romance
is all about–wetting the lips with a
teasing kiss, whispering a promise
of what’s to come and keeping up
with the twists and turns that come
along.
Keep it sexy!
