I've been thinking of that idea a bit ( Read more... ) -
Writing sex scenes
I can't remember whether I've linked that post here or not already. I'm going through the "Learn Writing with Uncle Jim" thread at AbsoluteWrite, and it's awfully interesting.
I'd like to keep track of one post, in particular:
