Love Scenes: Personal Experience or Personal Fantasies
Hey CJ,
Thanks for having me stop by today. I want to talk about one
of my personal favorite topics (and probably one a lot of people enjoy
discussing): SEX! J
I am an erotic romance author, so I live and breathe sex
scenes. I like to read them, I like to write them, I like to do research for
them ;-p One of the questions that has come up over the years of writing erotic
romance is, “Do you write sex from personal experience or personal fantasies?”
The quick and dirty answer (’cause sometimes I like it quick and dirty) is
BOTH.
The long, foreplay-worthy, marathon answer is…
Well, it really, really depends. There are several scenes in
several of the books I’ve written that I have never personally experienced
before, but that I would love to try. There are a lot of different positions
out there, folks, in case you weren’t aware, and each book is a bit of a
different flavor. It really depends a lot on the characters in the book, and
what their situation is, but also what would “do it” for them. If it’s
something I’ve tried before, all the more fun to write about. If it’s a
personal fantasy?
Well… then I get to say, “Honey, I need some help with book
research…” and then of course it’s sooo much easier to write about it because I
know exactly where everything goes and how everything feels. Sometimes, it’s
just not feasible to do that much research. I write 3-4 books a year, each with
at least 8 sex scenes, sometimes more. And I write them on deadlines. I can’t
stop writing 4-8,000 words every day so I can stop and go experiment with a new
position! Wouldn’t it be great if I could?? Plus, my significant other and I
both have multiple jobs, and there are only so many hours in the day!
But, my hard and fast rule (sheesh, listen all these
innuendos) is: if it makes me hot, it will make my readers hot. If it’s a kink
that I don’t really get into, I can’t write about it in a sexy way. I’ve tried,
and it comes out sounding forced, awkward, and awful. And I know it would show
in the prose to my readers, which is one thing I never want.
For my latest book, Belle by Night, I didn’t need to do any new
research, but I had built up a wealth of material long before I wrote it. This
book was all about a phone sex operator, and while I was never a phone sex
operator, I was in a long distance relationship for quite a while once upon a time,
if you get my drift?
So, there it is – my sex scenes are a mix of personal
experience, and personal fantasy, and I hope it shows in my books, but that
I’m good enough that you can’t tell the difference between experience and
fantasy J
So, as readers, what is it specifically about sex scenes
that draws you in?

I am currently reading Club Luxe 2 by Olivia Noble. A reporter gets an invitation to a sex club owned by a Billionaire who when she arrives has her masterbate on stage. Her main purpose in going is to interview him. He then takes her to his private rooms away from the crowd where scene after sex scene takes place. While in his bedroom he asks her to find his missing daughter who was spirited away by the mother to another country. She doesn't want to because the last search she went on ended badly. She is reluctant to go back to the club when he calls. She wants to end it, but she doesn't. So she in the very beginning of Book 2 agrees to meet in his office to discuss the search.
During the first book there is no vaginal sex, but everything else is fair game. He does not want that until he finds someone to be with him forever. As much sex as there is, on just about every page, I want to see the story unfold. It is so compelling to me.
Thanks for the tip, Ray!
