Author Danielle Steele was on The View yesterday and I caught just very little of it. Joy asked her why she never writes sex scenes, the response was that she always prefers to close the bedroom door. Something about not being a voyeur was mentioned although I cannot recall who said it. So I got to thinking about the whole topic.
I have read all sorts of sex/love scenes from implied to explicit, and I cannot say that one way of writing is more entertaining than another. Let’s face it, although romances are my favorite read, be it suspense, comedy, heartfelt, yadda..yadda, the thread of the books tends to be the same, familiar, therefore it’s all in the details. Some stories/books could have been more interesting if they would have been a little more detailed including the love scenes and others I couldn’t believe were classified as contemporary romances because I found too explicit. Some are just boring because of their lack of details, and the familiarity of the story line.
I think that it’s best to not have a firm opinion on the topic. Whatever you enjoy works for me. Written well, any type is worth the read. Tsk, tsk, ladies keep an open mind!
