A real erotic romance author's hidden pleasures
What's the first thought when you hear the words erotic romance author? Sex... sex and sex. You probably imagine some hot sultry red-head in a negligee... or perhaps a bleach-blonde bombshell wearing a skimpy thong and half shirt.
Maybe she's sitting at her laptop hammering away at a tantalizing sex ménage with a bulging stiff member inserted into the moist hungry hole of his female partner while the third person watches, eventually joining in on the fun.
We watch pornography to get ideas for our scenes.
Our refrigerators are full of lick-able and tempting foods like whipped topping, strawberries and chocolate syrup.
Our bedrooms have every scent and flavor of massage oil.
Mhmm, we also have every adult sex toy known to mankind at the tips of our fingers for when we're writing an arousing sex scene.
Yup, we just whip out the old vibrator, pleasure ourselves, then finish the scene. Easy peasy...
Got those images in your head? Well, wipe them away! So not true...well, maybe a microscopic part of the toy comment...forget I said that. Let's continue.
In reality, I only own two negligees and they rarely see the outside world past my dresser drawer.
There's more to life than a bulging sex member. Really...there is.
I don't watch pornography...often, but I prefer HGTV, the Food Network, and Detroit Tigers' baseball.
My refrigerator is jam-packed with leftovers and fresh baked goods.
I read sweet romance and suspense. Just because I write erotic romances doesn't mean that's all I read. Hey, I graduated Cum Laude from college with dual degrees in Early Childhood Development and English.
The only oil rubbed into my body is mineral and baby.
And as for the sex toys, I must confess (like I have done a hundred times before), I do reviews online for adult sex toys...and I love it! NOTE: Must buy larger box for assorted items.
So before you think you KNOW who and what an erotic author does in her free time or during her writing schedule, remember how I spend my days.
