I just finished the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer as my daughter was heavily into these books, and reading them has made for a lot of interesting conversations between us. When the main characters have sex in the last book, Breaking Dawn, I found myself relieved that there were not graphic details. It does leave more to the imagination that way...Colleen Loehrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13048649046228516513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6638292761241716183.post-37093898154103711892010-01-27T13:52:21.527-08:002010-01-27T13:52:21.527-08:00Thank god this part is over, that's what I'...Thank god this part is over, that's what I've got to say today.

Like them? Love them? Hate them? Actually I think every book I write has a sex scene in it, at least one, usually more than one. Which gives something about me away I guess.rose duncanhttp://roseduncan.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6638292761241716183.post-3845719371023145962010-01-27T08:10:10.897-08:002010-01-27T08:10:10.897-08:00I've only written one sex scene and I avoided ...I've only written one sex scene and I avoided details. My book is comic and the technical details of the act weren't part of the story and just didn't fit the mood. (or maybe I wanted to give my charcters some privacy) it just seemed like the right thing to do. But I think it depends on the nature of the scene - I mean what is it doing in the book - maybe you want to make the reader squirm or maybe you don't.Richiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13185098747790334109noreply@blogger.com
