Why We Love Erotic Romance

Why do we love erotic romances? I think that the answer is that there's nothing better than experiencing the closeness that comes from intimacy....so sex by itself isn't enough..there has to be more....that's why erotic romance has taken off so quickly....we want the intimacy and the love that comes from wanting and being wanted...a love story that isn't afraid...that's uninhibited....that lets you feel the wonders of it all without holding back.  We are a visual people with endless imaginations that can be fueled by the written word.....let your imagination run wild....

Loving Erotic Romances

As you know, I write erotic stories of romance.....where love can never be less exciting than the act of making love.  There are so many ways to have your characters meet and eventually find there way to that place where they know they've finally found what their heart has been seeking.  It's not always an easy journey but one well worth taking and sticking with until everything they ever thought they wanted is 'only a heartbeat away'....like that song.  Anyway...keeping that thread of decent love within the story is so important to making the story more than just about the sex.  It's what motivates a writer to continue, because we all want to be loved.  Keep reading, keep loving, and if you haven't found it....keep looking....you will.

Writing about an Orgasm

Writing about an orgasmic experience should lift your reader off their sofa, chair, bed, or whatever they happen to be sitting on or laying on or even possibly standing on.  The words used and the way they are applied should make the reader feel what you're feeling when you write those words.  Now, I'm not suggesting or saying that everyone actually has an orgasm when they read about it....I'm just saying they should want to jump their partner in the near future or look for their electronically charged Mr. Happy for a happy ending.  Words are food for the mind and I like to think erotic romance authors cater to their readers with scrumptious delights that keep them coming back for more.  Eroticism is wonderful and natural.  It should never be looked upon as something to be ashamed of....but as part of the wondrous life we've been given.  I'd much rather write an erotic romance than a book about death and sadness.  And always.....an erotic romance has a happy ending...exactly the way we want to live our own lives.
