X is for Sex

down boy, we’re talking about writing it effectively. I have to be honest though, I love the panel on writing erotica. It is so amusing every year. This year I jotted down the following…

What am I trying to accomplish with the sex scene?

If it doesn’t sound like the characters, it will bounce the reader, and not in a good way.

Focus on the plot of the story so that the sex, when it comes, is the pay off. Get the reader ready, so to speak.

If all else fails, switch genders to keep things fresh or get multiple people involved.
