Good sex
Apparently there is a Good Sex in Fiction Award. There is also a Bad Sex in Fiction Award and it's interesting to see who is included in that one. No names (no matter how big) no pack drill. Just shows how hard this is to write in a meaningful way. (Some would say not that easy to perform either).
Anyway my second novel has a lot of it (and between a couple of senior citizens, just to make it even more complex).
At least it has given me the chance for some in-depth research (perks of the job so to speak).
DH Lawrence, John Cleland, Patricia Highsmith, Henry Miller, Alan Hollinghurst and so on. The result is quite confusing as each seem to have their own approach and particular style (and the participants tend to be young and virile). So what is the recipe for meaningful, passionate, tender descriptions without resorting to soft porn?
