I’m so honored you stopped by to learn a little about me and my first CYOA (Choose Your Own Romance) A Soldier’s Seduction. With the different possible choices—for both the reader and for myself—this was such a fun story to write. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. 😉
I’d also like to thank my wonderful host for having me here today. You so totally rock!
10 Strange and Fun Facts about the Human Penis
So as a writer of fun, sexy romance, I’m always scouring the internet for new ideas. Sex positions, erotic clubs, pics of hunky heroes and feisty heroines. Yeah, yeah, I know, sometimes my job is so darn difficult. 😉
I want to share some of that information with you all. But as it happens, when you start doing internet searches about anything sexual, you’ll get back a massive amount of results. Some interesting, some down right disturbing, and some you just can’t click out of fast enough.
Don’t worry, I won’t share any of that with you. 😉
1. The number of calories per tsp of semen is only 7.
Semen is a low calorie food. Isn’t that good to know? *wink* So eat up, ladies—or guys—this is one treat that defies the “minute on the lips, a lifetime on the hips” rule!
2. Acidic fruits and alcohol have been known to give semen a pleasant, sugary flavor. On the other hand, alkaline foods like meat and fish produce a buttery or fishy taste.
So there there ya go, ladies and gents. If you’ve got a sweet tooth, make sure and get your man hopped up on ice cream and booze before you go down on him.
3. The amount of time needed for a man to regain erection after orgasm can vary from 2 minutes to 2 weeks.
Two weeks! Could you imagine the romance novel that took a hero 2 weeks to form another erection? 😉
4. The average number of times a man will come in his lifetime is 7,200 times. And of those times, only 2,000 will be by his own hand.
Only 2,000? I’d figured it’d be higher, LOL.
5. The average speed of an ejaculation is a whooping 28 mph!
Wait, what? 28? Wow. Just wow.
6. The smallest FUNCTIONAL penis was found to be an incredible 5/8 of an inch.
Umm…define functional.
7. This one isn’t exactly about the penis itself, but it involves the penis so I’m throwing it in, LOL. The percentage of men who say there’s ever been a moment they were NOT interest in sex is 13%.
I have to say this surprised me. Were the majority of these times during an important sporting event?
8. The average number of erections per day is 11, and 9 of these are while he’s sleeping.
This one makes me laugh. I’m not surprised a guy would have 9 erections while sleeping, LOL.
9. The approximate cost for a year’s supply of condoms is $100.
But I don’t think this holds true for heroes of romance novels, do you? At least not the heroes I write. *wink*
10. And finally, the tissue that surrounds the testicles and the penis is more durable even than the tissue that surrounds the human brain.
Wow. If the body naturally protects the most important parts first, this fact gives a whole new meaning to that saying about men thinking with their penis.
So there ya have it. Ten things I learned about the human penis while doing researching. It’s a tough job, but someone’s gotta do it.
Later, lovelies!

Excerpt:
“Are you ever going to un-blindfold me?”
“Maybe,” I teased, praying my nervousness didn’t leak through.
Taking Liam by the hands, I tugged him from the passenger’s seat of my Ford Escape. I’d given my handsome companion only one clue about tonight’s adventure — to wear something sexy — and damn if Liam hadn’t delivered.
A pair of black sheen slacks covered his legs, and the light blue button-down I’d given him on his last birthday had beautifully brought out the azure of his eyes. I’d hated to cover them with the blindfold, but it couldn’t be helped.
He’d shaved and cut his hair, his blond locks sporting an Army crew cut, making him look strong, virile, a vision of alpha-tastic yumminess. He’d no doubt fit right in inside The Erogenous Zone. Lord knew he was doing a number on my erogenous zones.
My heart had been doing the samba since I’d knocked on Liam’s door. I’d had to employ every self-restraint trick I’d known — as well as several I’d invented on the fly — just to keep from jumping him right then and there. I’d put a lot of planning into our erotic outing, and I didn’t want to derail everything because I couldn’t control myself.
Liam had talked about coming to The Erogenous Zone since the club had opened, but reservations were few and far between. He’d asked me to come with him. I’d been thrilled until I’d learned his request probably had more to do with the fact couples had less of a waiting list than single males. Still, I liked to believe Liam had wanted to go with me because he wanted me at his side.
“There’s a step here,” I said as we left the shadows of the parking lot behind and moved into the soft glow of the club’s outside lighting. Liam held tight to me as we stepped over the curb and onto the path leading to the entrance. The club loomed large and imposing in front of us, an enormous brick building with graffiti spray-painted on the sides. According to the website, the place had been an abandoned warehouse before the owner had repurposed it, and from where we stood, an abandoned warehouse was exactly what it still looked like.
As we reached the entrance, a man the size of a small mountain approached us. He wore all black, save for a tiny splash of color on the right pocket. Written in multi-hued lettering, the club’s logo stood out against the dark background. Two full sleeves of tattoos covered his arms. Metal studs pierced his eyebrows, his nose, his lips — all in multiple places.
“Do you have a reservation?” The bouncer’s voice reverberated, a deep, gravelly resonance I swore I could feel inside my bones.
I swallowed hard, hoping to displace the unease suddenly bottlenecking in my throat. “Yes. For Genevieve Foster. Plus one.”
Muscles glanced at his clipboard and then opened the door. “This way, Ms. Foster. If you’ll see Rachel at the front desk, she’ll get you checked in.”
I nodded. The reality of the moment bitch-slapped me. I was about to take my best guy friend into a sex club so I could seduce him. Our entire relationship hinged on what would happen in the next few moments. I could finally have the man I loved in my arms, or I could lose a dear friend forever.
Things hadn’t seemed this real in the planning phase.

BLURB:
When Gen learns her best guy friend is going back to Afghanistan, she arranges an erotic sendoff he’ll never forget.
GENEVIEVE FOSTER can no longer deny the truth. She’s fallen in love with her business partner and best friend, LIAM ENGLAND. She’s hesitant to tell him the truth, at least until she learns his National Guard unit is going back to the Middle East. Now, all bets are off. She heads to the mall for the perfect erotic outfit. And by outfit, she, of course, means lingerie. A dark blue baby-doll for an intimate evening in or a leather bustier for a night of sinful pleasures at The Erogenous Zone…

Author Bio:
Brandi Evans was raised by a caravan of traveling Gypsies. She spent her days learning the ways of her people and her nights lost in legends as old as time. Okay, not really, but that’s way more interesting than the truth!
In reality, Brandi grew up the oldest child of an ordinary family. Grade school, middle school, high school. Nothing extraordinary happened until she left the nest. She joined the military, went to college, got married, and became a mom. And somewhere along the way, she discovered she liked to read—and write!—stories hot enough to melt eReaders.
These days, she calls The Natural State home where she lives with her hubby, two beautiful daughters, two dogs and a cat who has yet to realize she doesn’t own the place. Soldier. Wife. Mom. Multi-published smut writer. Brandi’s life might not be “traveling Gypsy” interesting, but she’s had fun. And in the end, isn’t that all that really matters?

As I sincerely doubted that any man spent so much as 13% of his time *not* thinking about sex, I surveyed the men of my household. As suspected, the percentage was far lower. My guys copped to thinking about sex while sick in the hospital (as in, gee, when will I be well enough to fuck?), while suffering from the severe stomach flu (as in OMG, if I’m gonna die, I want one last orgasm), and while having shrapnel removed (this wouldn’t be half as bad if somebody was sucking my dick). So yeah… We’re putting that actual percentage at about 3%. Just FYI.
