Let's Talk Thursday: Episode 15

-


Hello Awesome Visitors! Let's talk for a minute.

It is six days and counting until Continuous Drips comes out. You will have the chance to see three of my short stories on display: Derailed Endurance, Final Prep to Happiness, and FAN-tasy Island. I was raring to go with another excerpt but some other thoughts have derailed that directive. (Play on words not intended but worked out rather well.)

Over time there has definitely been an influx of erotica. If there were that steady increase of places that accepted erotica for review it would come in handy. In my opinion, the ratio between erotic reads and organizations willing to give their thoughts is rather expansive... too expansive.

I tend to write about different types of human interactions. Yes, they lean towards the erotic but I get caught up in the emotions, the expressions, the lead in to the sexual. For me, the mind has to have stimulation before the body can get started. It marks the difference between a revisit to a read and one that collects dust.

I'm also a believer that gender should not serve as a deterrent. Same sex situations are prevalent in Simmer Sweet and Delectable Things. Yet even in those things, there is reasoning behind the sex--to arrive at the final destination of pleasurable release.

Out of the reads I have currently available, Kona and Handy have been the most successful. I am just curious if anyone else has encountered the phenomena: where reads that do have same sex factors not perform as well as their benefactors.


Are same sex characters or characters who are involved in threesomes still off limits, even as more erotica authors have hit the market?

As of this writing, I'm leaning more towards yes. Who knows? Maybe change is on the horizon.

Until next time,

Desire

    It's interesting that you would bring up this subject because it is something that I have been thinking about as well.
    It's funny because I've seen in influx of rape erotica, abuse erotica, bondage erotica, and things of the sort, as well as people favoring said reads. And it makes me wonder...
    Is society saying that maleficent erotica is still more socially acceptable then same sex erotica. Which in my mind is just not right, because like you mentioned above, in your writing in particular you make emphasis more so on the emotional connection than the sexual act.
    This is what I believe true erotica is about; connecting with the emotions and becoming enthralled in something you may not experience on a daily basis.
    Yet the growing affinity for ominous erotica is taking that away from the reader and replacing it with horrific sexual acts and still the public seems to be okay with it. Moreover there is the aspect of reviews (positive ones) being given on said works. That makes no sense to me. (SMH)

    It does go back to violence being more accepted by society than depictions of sex. Unfortunately, literature is not the exception.

Show Me (Behind the Stuntin')

Show me the man behind the stuntin I keep getting this feelin’ that you straight frontin’ Your profile seems too squeaky clean from E-harmony; Your looks getting females shook and all over your Facebook, But it just seems something’s not quite right; I picked up on it from just the first night. No, you didn’t show me any disrespect, But you’ve given me so much stuff to reflect. You spit so much about the things you have, Like the new paint job you just got on your Jag, And the money you dropped on your fancy condo- Floor so clean you can eat off the floor! And I know for many women, you’re totally awesome! But I’m not like most; I proceed with caution. Yes, I’m pleased you finished at the top of your class And there’s no criminal record on your ass And that you’re dressed like a man from GQ- No, I’m not trying to knock what you do! But with all that being said, Tell me what’s going through your head. Without starting the statement wit...

Sweet Dream

-
The rays of the sun poke against my eyelids… Leave me be; I’m not ready to awaken! You see, I am having this most incredible dream! I encountered approximately 6’5” of butter pecan: Eyes, chestnut dark, yet gentle. Lips, full to the brim but soft, Promising himself to me: For us to be Together Forever. Isn’t that the name of a song Or in some song lyric? Saying he’d be bound to me, Not just when things are right, But whenever there are plights. Have I heard it all before? Holding my breath, wondering when he will go out that door Him saying, I won’t leave unless you tell me… Voice turning my iron clad resolve Into a bowl of grape jelly; Lips running a train all over my skin, Generating slow heat beneath my skin, Crooning is this good to you baby Do you like this Or how about this? Thrilled yet pissed That my body’s sensual combination lock Got Hacked by this brand new virus And my senses are spinning And I do...

Let's Talk Thursday: Intimacy Woes

Hello Awesome Visitors. Today marks another installment of ... I want to steer away from the writing and promoting for a moment. I am curious how intimacy has been impacted since the onslaught of this pandemic. For those of you who are coupled, and one or both of you are deemed essential, do you ever worry about the risk that you may get COVID-19? Has worry about COVID-19 in a state of coupledom worked to increase the intimacy or sexual activity, or has worry dampened your desires to do anything? For the uncoupled, does it make you happier to be single? If you have companions on standby, have you interacted with them less via practicing social distancing? Have you found new ways to communicate without physical visits? Or are you throwing caution to the wind and still getting together anyway? Well, in case any of you are shy about sharing, I will go first. I have been single for quite a while but haven't been mingling. I don't have a sex...
