When they’re good, they’re very, very good. But when they’re bad…

by Becca Simone

Bad boyfriends. We’ve all had them. You know the ones. They come in many variations, from slightly bad to really bad. Maybe he never complimented you, or he belittled you in front of his friends. Or maybe he was nice to you in private, but a dick to you in public—or vice versa. Or maybe he made snide comments about your weight or appearance. Maybe he belittled your sexual skills, even if he was a lame-o in bed himself. Maybe he wasn’t faithful to you. Maybe he hit you.

Dear Reader,

Hello there! I hope your day is going well.

Writing sex, partially highly erotic, detailed sex is a process. Sure, I can bang out—all puns intended—a scene in under a half hour, as a first draft. But, it’s never good enough. Always room for improvements.

Writing great sex takes a combination of knowledge, gathered from personal experience and/or research about people who’ve walked on the wild side, a vivid imagination willing to envision the situations in high detail, and a drive to see it through, sometimes pushing past comfort zones.

Vampires Then and Now…Cinsearae S.

I became smitten with vampires at a very young age. My first ‘encounter’ with vampires happened while I was still in elementary school, and it happened to be Frank Langella in Dracula (1979). This movie came out when I was just 5 years old, so when it happened to come on television, I was enraptured by him, yet creeped out by the grisliness of one of his living dead victims, but I didn’t let that stop me from just watching ‘him’. Frank gave Dracula an entirely romantic passionate persona that I couldn’t help but fall in love with, and this movie remains in my personal archive to this day. Frank had such class, refinement, and a debonair style that I can’t find in today’s versions of the same.

Sometimes I wonder how I ended up writing erotica.

Mind you, I’d been reading it for years, but my writing never involved the horizontal (or vertical, or diagonal) mambo. My writing used to be more like, I guess you could say, ‘contemporary’ literature. I wanted to be the next Salinger or Fitzgerald. I wanted to be the voice of my generation.

I think the change began when I started writing book reviews and came across several published by Cleis Press. Its anthologies tend to include some very well-written stories and for the first time I began to see erotica not as a guilty pleasure, but as actual literature.

Writing What I Don’t Know By Annabeth Leong

“Write what you know,” they tell you. They also told me, when I was young, that only bad girls play with cock (they didn’t quite put it that way). I confess, I’m breaking both rules these days, by writing erotica from a male point of view.

Hey there! I’m M.J. O’Shea, and I just wanted to share an excerpt from my current book, Coming Home, that came out last month from Dreamspinner Press.

Tallis Carrington ruled Rock Bay with his gang of jocks and an iron fist—until a scandal destroyed his family’s name.  Ten years later Tallis is dead broke, newly homeless, and on the walk of shame to end all walks of shame.  He needs money and needs it fast, and Rock Bay is the only home he knows. But the people of Rock Bay haven’t forgotten him—or the spoiled brat he used to be.
