Sex

Sexy Thursday: Reading Erotica

Leave a Comment

This blog post is a follow-up to one I wrote awhile back,

Adding A little “Hump” To Your Wednesday.

"Come, I'll show you the way..."

What turns you on?  Is it a love scene on you favorite soap opera or movie?  Is it the scent of your boyfriend or husband’s cologne?  Is it the kiss you got from your partner before they left for work – the one you can’t stop thinking about?  (Come on, I know  there’s some of you who are still hung up on that kiss).  Or are you a busy mom and/or career woman and it’s THIS that seems to be the only thing that can get you to take off those granny panties and spanx?

I recently came across THIS article.  It got me thinking how some women are ashamed to read these “trashy” novels, and need the “okay” to venture out of their June Cleaver minds.  Well, there’s nothing trashy about them.  For example, these novels by MEGAN HART aren’t only erotic, but the story-lines seem so real, that they seem more believable – the career mom, the desperate housewife…you name it, and you got it.  I think that’s the difference — “trashy equals fake” and “erotica equals real.”

Go ahead, go get yourself an erotica and enjoy it.  Your boyfriend/husband might even be surprised by your behavior when he enters the door after a hard day at work.  Go ahead, surprise him…you might even surprise yourself too!

Gone, But Not Forgotten

Hi, y’all!  It’s been about two weeks since I’ve blogged and I’m so happy to be back!

During my hiatus there’s not been a second where I’ve not been thinking about my books (editing my first, and thinking about what to do with my second – self publishing?), reading book for my reviews, my upcoming guests, and of course my fantastic followers!

In the next few weeks I’ll be busy with a few book tours, featuring some wonderful writers (Elizabeth Marx who wrote “Binding Arbitration,” Kathleen Kole who wrote “Favorable Conditions,” Toni Aleo who wrote “Taking Shots,” and Liz Matis who wrote “Love By Design!“)  I also have a few guest posts/interviews that I’m excited about hosting!  And in the midst of it all, I’ll be dedicating the rest of my time to the books I’ve written!

Once again, I’d like to thank my fans, followers, friends, and family for sticking by me.  Your support has meant so much to me!

It’s Fun Friday

My post on the 1st, was about Valentine’s Day, so here’s (kinda’) a follow-up.  I hope you find it as alluring and as sexy as I do!  Both of these men have been on the cover as People Magazine’s Sexiest Man!

George Clooney

I remember when I fell in love with George.  He was wearing blue scrubs and had a stethoscope draped around his neck.  Hello, Doctor!  He was the only reason I watched E.R.  There was a mystery about him that intrigued me, so much that seeing him made me swoon.  His voice had this power that made me hang on his every word.  He was my new crush!  When he appeared on Friends, playing a doctor (not his same character), I was pleasantly surprised to see him jumping out of a drama to play in a comedic role.  (His doctor friend was played by Noah Wyle, who is also a cutie!)

One of my favorite movies George (yes, I’m on a first name basis with him) is in is One Fine Day.  I love seeing him play the role of a very sexy daddy.  Other movie roles I’ve liked him in are Oceans Twelve and Ocean’s Thirteen, where his role of power and sexy combine.

George Clooney only gets better with age, and I love his greying hair.  He’s never in the tabloids, he stays away from bad publicity, and he deserves each nomination and he receives.  For such a sexy man, I love how the leading ladies in his life (he’s currently dating the beautiful Stacy Keibler) are just as attractive as he is.  What lady wouldn’t like to be next to him on the red carpet?

Brad Pitt

I picked this picture because that’s how I’d like to remember him — when he was attractive, and when he seemed somewhat normal.  When I first saw Meet Joe Black, I was a Brad Pitt fan!  There was nothing I didn’t love about him.  His charm in the movie spoke for the man he was in real life.  He was just a good guy who happens to be once engaged to Gwyneth Paltrow, and most famously married to the gorgeous Jennifer Aniston, where they spent reported $1 million dollars on their wedding.  He is now a dad to his six children with partner Angelina Jolie.  (Can you tell I’m against his precious “Angie” and am pro-Jen!) Don’t y’all remember the picture of Jen and Brad on the beach the day before they announced their split and he was wearing a T-shirt that said TRASH!  Well, maybe it speaks for itself during their relationship.

My most favorite movie with Brad is Legends of the Fall where he plays the handsome Tristan.  If you’re a fan of Brad, you have to watch this movie, if you haven’t already.

Brad’s changed over the years, especially since he’s been in the relationship with Angelina.  I’ve not been impressed by some of his comments, or how he handles himself.  I’ve seen him on several Today Show interviews, and each time I grow less and less of fond of his cocky personality, and it’s not attractive.

In closing both George and Brad will be known for their good looks.  They will fit in the category of men (Michael Douglas, Paul Newman, Tom Selleck, Anthony Hopkins, Sean Connery and George Hamilton) who have aged gracefully.

I hope this has been a Fun Friday for you…

Valentine’s Day

7 Comments

It’s hard to believe that today is the first day of February, isn’t it?  When I was a little girl I loved Valentine’s Day!  I was that hopeless romantic who received flowers and heart-shaped boxes of chocolate – from my dad.  I had no boy in my life, but that didn’t stop me from dreaming of being in love when I grew up.

Now that I’m thirty and have been married just over two years, I look at Valentine’s Day differently.  Valentine’s Day is about showing the people you love just how much you love them.  It doesn’t have to be only your significant other, it can be anyone – a relative, a friend, or coworker.  It’s always nice to show someone how much you care about them.  I encourage you to do something for someone for the upcoming holiday.

Whether it's Innocent...
Romantic...
or Sexy...

I wish you a very Happy Valentine’s Day!

It’s Fun Friday

While writing your ROMANCE or CHICK LIT novels, haven’t you ever daydreamed that you’re the Heroine and your boyfriend or husband is your Hero in your book?   Have you played the part in your own sex fantasy, only to wish you could have him right at that moment, but it’s the middle of the day and he’s at work?  (I have this fantasy often when I’m writing, and find it very helpful during a sex scene!)

Well, if you’re too shy to write you and your SO (significant other) into your book, I have just the right thing for you.  For Christmas I got my husband our own romance/erotic novel, “Safari Nights,” thanks to a website called UStarNovels!  If you go to this website, you can create your own books from the following categories: Romance, Classics, or Vampire.  All you have to do is fill out questions that the website will ask you each about, and then you’re done!  (If you got this as a gift, all you have to do is register it and it’ll be free).  It’s that easy!  My husband and I haven’t filled out the answers yet, but I’m hoping to sit him down and answer them this weekend.

This can be a wonderful gift, whether it’s given for Valentine’s Day, Christmas, Anniversaries, Bachelorette parties, or just because, it’s a fun way to bring something new and spicy to your relationship!

I hope you and your SO have a sizzlin’ weekend!  Happy Friday!

I check my blog stats at least once I day and the surprising thing is that the most highly read blog post was THIS blog about sex in Chick Lit books, but why?

Is it because the word sex is so alluring to our eyes? Is it because some of us are desperate housewives who crave attention from our husbands? Do we want to live our fantasies through the characters we can relate with…only to get so hyped up and nothing happens? While there isn’t a lot of actual sex in Chick Lit books, don’t we all want just a little bit more? Where is the gray area between Chick Lit and Erotic novels? Maybe a Harlequin novel…

My question to you — Why are topic about sex in books so popular?
