Aaah I should have been in bed two hours ago.

But.

HOME STRETCH.

Why is it way more of an effort to write sex than it is to write a bloody human (well, Elven, really) sacrifice scene? I mean, that's just not right, is it?

BED.

"I prefer to call the parts by their usual names if I have to at all - and I try to focus on all the senses equally"

I prefer that as well. My personal nightmare was a little handout which suggested "original descriptions" for all areas that possibly could be involved. It suggested stuff like "he entered her chocolate ballroom" or "he tasted her milky juices of love". *shudder*
I know that there's loads of folks out there who totally dig descriptions like this, and that's fine with me. I personally loathe them, since they switch any upcoming feelings to amused disbelief whenever I have to stumble over one of them.

But somehow it will always be a mystery to me how to propperly prepare, start and finish a sex scene somehow, and envy people who are able to propperly do so... maybe I'm just to picky. ^^

*grins* Did you ever read "Fanny Hill or The Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure"?
I adore this book - it's full of maypoles etc. - but it's part of literary history and at times absolutely hilarious. (Apart from being something like a revolution because Fanny is not only beautiful and morally sound but also a very successful whore)

Nope - but I stumbled over "Luck is a Lady", a classical "they want... they don't... they will... they can't... somebody wants to prevent them... the actually do it... another hindrance, for the protocol... happy end"-thingies with loads of sexual-tension-moments, and it was one of the funniest books (unintended, of course!) I ever read.

but "maypoles"... *snicker* if that's another metaphor for stuff like that I'm impressed. XD
