So you're tired of straight missionary, huh?
Me too.
I've been a lazy cow, so far as blogging is concerned, but I've been writing my ass off, which you'll have noticed if you're keeping an eye on my progress bar.
On some thread or other on Smart Bitches (because really, what else do I read on the Intarweb?), they were talking about how they are tired of sex by the numbers in erotic romances. It's like the author doesn't feel it, but is just inserting sex according to some internal schedule: straight missionary, female superior, some oral action and a trip to Denny's. Okay, maybe I added that last part because I don't know of anyone who calls eating at Denny's a sexual experience, unless of course it's a new slang term that I haven't heard of. And in that case, I don't want to know what "Eating at Denny's" is slang for. I'm still reeling from having the term "Dirty Sanchez" explained to me.
Anyhow, I digress. I just finished my first sex scene in Your Alibi and it's certainly not by the numbers. I don't begin with straight missionary. I didn't in The Average Girl's Guide to Getting Laid either. So I hope the bitches will absolve me of writing 'sex by the numbers.'
The question I have for all my fellow smut peddlers is this: do your own sex scenes need to turn you on? If you don't get off while writing them, do you figure they're not hot enough to turn anyone else on either? Do you feel like you need to feel it?
PS - The scene I wrote today was a three-alarm fire.

PS. Your sidebar's still broken in IE.
But I actually like writing missionary sex. I almost always have the first encounter that way, simply because most of the women I know are most comfortable that way at first--like, you're with a new man, so you let him take charge. There might be all manner of kink happening before, but once there's penetration he's usually on top.
