I've had a few comme...Oh what a tricky balance. I've had a few comments that my stories have too much sex. No one has ever said - not enough sex! Apart from my --oops. LOL But what I've noticed is the way more and more 'mainstream' authors have really hot sex in their stories. Not quite as much as an erotic romance, but just as graphic. I've just read a book - not erotic - where the hero has a sexual encounter with a 'prostitute' which was more detailed than the sex he eventually had with the heroine. The author was trying to show sex without love and sex with love but I don't know that it needed to be so detailed. <br />Trouble is there is no guide on how much to include. How much is too much? Raelene is right that the sex has to fit, to be integrated into the story so that you're not dragged out of the tale by the hot bits.But the truth is, you never please everyone.Barbara Elsborghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15825994197656747262noreply@blogger.com
