I just wrote a sex scene into my latest chapter. Nothing graphic but a little more than I usually write. Now I am debating taking it out, as I don't want to offend anyone. So my question is... How do you feel about sex scenes? |

I think it's better when things are suggested. Bionika |

Well, I've got a draft with a sex scene written some time ago (the first and only one because I'm not feel at ease for depicting love feelings and sex). I've just checked it... And I should say that I've written more than suggestion! (I've depicted some body parts and given concrete words for the act too). But perhaps I will soften the words when I will translate it.

Does it mean that when I'll be ready for posting this story, I should post it in a special (steamy) part of the thread "fan fiction"? Should I ask moderators to read it before posting? Bionika |

If it's just one scene in the entire story, you should be ok putting a warning note at the top of that chapter. Then anyone who wishes to skip it will move on to he rest. |

Obviously as a younger member, and not quite an adult *though very mature about these things* I would not condone, or write an *actual* "sex scene"...Though I REALLY don't appreciate the ACTUAL "act" being shown...I do love some cute couple things...like kissing, hugging, etc. are fine (I'm an absolute sucker for scenes like in the Kill Oscar trilogy where Steve and Jaime share many winks, cute finger wags, and yes...A KISS! And as the Bionic Blonde would say, "Ausommers")...just I'd stop it at the bedroom door, so to speak...or as in one Big Valley story I was reading recently...Heath was with his bride on their honeymoon night, and it was Christmas Eve when they were married, and he made some suggestive comment about "opening his Christmas present", meanwhile, tossing his shirt to the side... I'm like and going basically nuts, but that is as far as it went, and that's as far as I'd like it to go!! That's all we need!! I do not appreciate the whole detailed description of what ahem..."goes on"... I mean, even though SOME OF US are younger and know...erm...less than others... I'm pretty sure we all know what you're implying!! And yes...if it does "go there" with the whole thing...I believe it should go in the "steamy rooms" separate from all of the other stories!! Good discussion topic, though! I'm glad to weigh in! -PineappleAngel |

Sitting in front of the TV, watching an old rerun of The Big Valley, eating a Heath bar, while wearing a pair of sturdy Lee Jeans, a NASA baseball cap, and a "Colt's" hoodie; all while a paperback copy of "Cyborg" lays nearby...ah...the perfect image of a true fangirl of the great Lee Majors.... | |

Thank to have post this thread, Beth. When I'll translate this story, I'll be careful about the words I will use. I have just read again my draft and I think that I know how I can't be too coarse; your sex scene in "The ever after" story will be a model for me. Moreover, as it is the first scene of the story, I think that I will chose to have it just as the prologue and add some sentences at beginning of the first chapter in order to have the story understandable even if you haven't read the prologue. The prologue will just indicates that a man and a woman are in love and where they are, then action will begin really in chapter 1. Bionika |

I wouldn't have a problem with steamier fiction if written with care. After all, we are talking about characters who lived in the mid-late '70's, a time of great hedonism (at least in the NYC area, where sex drugs, and Rock'n'Roll were prominent [my Mom was young enough to partake in this life-in-the-fast-lane]). I think that intimate acts can be alluded to in a tasteful way. I think that there are ways to characterize these scenes without labeling certain actions or certain body parts. I wouldn't mind steamy, especially if labelled as such, and those steamy scenes should be tasteful. Using a warning or alert sounds like a good idea as a preface. I would be opposed to anything akin to pornography, though, that may be in the eye of the beholder. I think we should always ere on the side of caution. That's my 5 cents... |
