Making you...Hi Kristyn,<BR/>I hope all is well with you. Making your sex scenes an educational experience serves a valuable purpose in this day and age. Now, I have to read "Atlas Shrugged" on your suggestion here to see how Ayn Rand handled those situations between her characters. I really appreciate you stopping by and reading my blog, and I hope you enjoy it. Great to hear from you. <BR/><BR/>~Mike~Michael J.

The reader learns how they interact with one another and how they justify these actions. It's a great book, my favorite in fact, and a perfect example of what you're talking about here. <BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/>KristynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36188871.post-71400965809169161232007-10-14T10:04:00.000-04:002007-10-14T10:04:00.000-04:00Thank you, Shelly.

Yes, in addition to folks thinking your character’s sex lives are either your own experiences or fantasies, people often do not appreciate writing for what it is and tend also to think I am writing about them. My father read a story I wrote where the protagonist’s dad was somewhat grouchy and mean. My father immediately called me and wanted to know why I thought of him that way. I wrote this particular article on sex scenes because I have a story I am writing where the main character cheats on his wife with his friend's wife, and I can already hear my friends and family guessing which one of my friend's wives I am attracted to. Thanks again for your friendly comments.Michael J.

My writing group and I often "complain" about readers who think every piece we write is some sort of revelation of our own fantasies, etc. Great example of that here.<BR/><BR/>It's hard to overcome self-censorship, isn't it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36188871.post-87098728680766752762007-10-12T20:12:00.000-04:002007-10-12T20:12:00.000-04:00Thank you so much for your compliments.

Thanks for the entertaining read! Ah yes, that's a tricky subject to write about for most folks. For me, however, I'm betting my living on it, as I portray the God of Lust in the story lines of the Legends of Mernac. And so erotic fantasy fiction is what I write. Stop by some time!
