Senior Member KaraBosshardt Posted February 16, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted February 16, 2021 While I'm not a writer of romance, nor is this a genre that I reach for at the bookstore, I can appreciate Jenna Moreci's advice. It sounded solid and down to earth. She really seems to know what she's talking about and her delivery is downright humorous. A few points she made that I very much agree with if you are going to commit to the task of writing sex scenes in your novel were: Don't make sex sound gross. Be mindful of your adjectives. Use sexy verbs. What does this moment in the book mean for your characters on an emotional level. Make sure the timing of these scenes come when they are appropriate in your story. And, above all, understand how sex works! If you are writing romance, or have a sex scene in your novel, I definitely recommend this video.

On top of that, she’s super engaging and funny with great line after great line. I think my favorite is when she advises “…ramping up the heat and toning down the yuck.” Also, the quality of the video is excellent and the graphics, delivery and editing are all top notch.

EditorAdmin Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Sex scenes always sell. Even negative publicity works in this case. btw... Quote AC Admin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EditorAdmin Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 It's not easy. Understanding the depth and narrative vibrato of a good sex scene takes a bit of training. Quote AC Admin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
