My characters aren't in Nicaragua yet. Why, you ask? They decided to have sex before checking out of the hotel. Don't look at me! It wasn't in the plot I wrote.
It was interesting, writing the scene. At the Romantic Times convention in April, I listened to many authors discuss how easy or hard they felt sex scenes were to write. I sat in the audience thinking, "I won't have any trouble. I'm not embarassed to talk about sex and I know where it belongs in my books. No sweat!" Today I realized I may have been a little overconfident. For me, the challenge is terminology. Because let's face it, people. There just aren't any cool words for our genitalia. They're all either too clinical, too vulgar, or too bodice-ripper sounding.
I want a special sex scene thesaurus. Does this exist anywhere? If not, I call dibs on writing one. I think that's a money maker, right there.

LOL! I reckon you should definitely write that manual! :D I'm not sure I'd be any good at writing sex scenes... Not because I'm a 'prude' - I don't have trouble talking about it at all - but I think I would get too 'bodice-ripper' (As you put it) when it comes to writing...
Yeah, it's definitely weird. :)
