Product Description

Sometimes a writer needs the right word – fast – to keep the momentum racing along while he or she builds up that total word count. When writing sexy descriptions and sex scenes, you may need words such as ache, aching, arch, bare, bared, battle, beg, bite, blush, bounce, brace himself or brace herself, breach, bruise, bruising, brush, buck, bump, burn, burning, captivate, capture, caress, catch, circle, clasp, clench, clenching, coax, cry out, cup, curse, curve, cushion, dampen, dart, darting, deepen, delve, dominate, and so forth.

Here, you get lists of words and ways to use them. Part One gives writing advice. Part Two shows you how to write sexy descriptions about the human body from head to toe. Part Three discusses male-male romance fiction, and Part Four details the common elements of a sex scene, including sexual tension, flirting, arousal, sexy noises, initial touching, kissing, embracing, intimate caresses, disrobing, masturbation, foreplay, penetration, the sex act, orgasm, and afterglow.

This book is written specifically for writers of erotic romance fiction, which includes male-female romance and male-male romance. Erotic romance fiction gives equal emphasis to sex and emotion within the romantic relationship. However, those who write erotica (more focus on sex) and those who write sweet romance (more focus on emotion) can adapt the information here. Others for whom this book may be useful include anyone who wants to write a sex scene for genre or mainstream fiction.

Before I start giving advice, I should make one thing clear. All this is information for you to evaluate for yourself and accept or dismiss. The only "ironclad rules" in writing fiction are the laws of physics and the principles of grammar, and even those can be bent. The most important thing is to write what the readers want to read. Throughout this book, I warn you about things that could break the spell of escapism and jolt the readers out of your story. However, you can write anything you want so long as you are aware of the risks you run. It's all up to you.

(This e-book contains sexually explicit scenes and language and may be considered offensive to some readers. This book is for sale to adults only, as defined by the laws of the country in which you made your purchase. Please store your files wisely, where they cannot be accessed by under-aged readers.)

Published with DRM technology, this book is read-only (no copying), and is 30,000 words. Thank you for reading!

This review is from: How to Write Sexy Descriptions and Sex Scenes (Kindle Edition)
I write nonfiction, but you never know what I might branch into in the future, so I bought this. I enjoyed the other ones in the series, and I'm interested in how-to books are put together. I think sex scenes must be the hardest thing to write. Well, this gives you all the help you're going to need.

The "Sexy Descriptions" part is like the author's previous books with word lists that help you avoid cliches and plug in the right word as you're describing the human body. I mean, how do you write descriptions of someone's you-know-what when you're writing erotic romance? My mind goes blank but the book lists description options from "euphemistic" to more plain-spoken with probably something to fit everybody's writing style. The "Sex Scenes" part shows describing every stage of the sex act from two characters first noticing each other all the way to them basking in the afterglow.

What's cool is that this book covers male-female romance and male-male romance. I don't think I've seen that before. I also didn't know that male-male romance was so fast-growing until I confirmed it myself with some independent research. So this book might help you with both. It seems evenly balanced with maybe a smidgen more on male-female.

I enjoyed also the other books in this series: How to Write Descriptions of Eyes and Faces, How to Write Descriptions of Hair and Skin, and the unabridged combination of those first two: How to Write Descriptions of Eyes, Faces, Hair, Skin.

More About the Author

Please check my Amazon author page. I offer my nonfiction as individual books and combined in a collection at a discount price (cheaper than buying them individually).

As a reader, I like humor, strong plots, and complicated characters, and as an author I hope to offer you the same. I deeply appreciate readers for giving my fiction a try and especially for taking the time to write a review. If I avoid commenting, or expressing direct thanks for a review, it is only to respect the readers' privacy to discuss books without author interference. I love feedback and I learn from all my reviews. Thank you very much for reading!
