Perfect!<br /><br />Laura, I need that paper bag sometimes, too. ;)<br /><br />As long as it concludes the emotional journey of falling in love, I think any type of love scene works. <br /><br />It's all about the romance. Sometimes more heat is good... sometimes it isn't needed. The sizzle is just where my personal comfort zone lies. :)<br /><br />~~MegMeg Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15862550378971433991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869464170817632469.post-75954605518982636742012-02-24T11:27:26.987-05:002012-02-24T11:27:26.987-05:00I don't read erotica, and even "regular&q...I don't read erotica, and even "regular" sex scenes that go beyond hugs & kisses can make me blush (and/or skip ahead to the next scene). I DO love seeing the sparks of attraction, to feel the characters falling in love with each other, even if they don't realize it at first (sometimes that's the best)! Not everyone is comfortable with writing sex scenes (or reading them), but a good emotional read doesn't need, as Valerie put it, "docking maneuvers." It just needs heart & soul.

Sometimes it's the dance; sometimes, the sensual description; sometimes, the climax. Any one--or all--can be splendid.Jean Marie Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06549107203357246640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869464170817632469.post-87811247570135339192012-02-24T01:03:58.753-05:002012-02-24T01:03:58.753-05:00I like a well written love scene with lots of emot...I like a well written love scene with lots of emotion. It's all about the emotion. Without emotion you just have clinical description, and who wants that? Ok, maybe a med student.Tina2https://www.blogger.com/profile/17936917543399865692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869464170817632469.post-26867482912027739452012-02-24T00:49:32.988-05:002012-02-24T00:49:32.988-05:00I'm not a fan of writing love scenes, either. ...I'm not a fan of writing love scenes, either. I mostly skip them when I'm reading as well, unless the author manages to focus on the emotions of a love scene rather than the physical. Nora Roberts is one of my favorites when it comes to an emotional love scene.Tori Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02514585159442285006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869464170817632469.post-6653312291199218092012-02-24T00:38:32.634-05:002012-02-24T00:38:32.634-05:00I usually close the doors and let my characters ge...I usually close the doors and let my characters get more intimate without me. I enjoy writing the lead-up more than the actual event.
