I didn’t realise how necessary foreplay was in a story, until I read a couple of books, which didn’t have any during the sex scenes. Don’t get me wrong, these weren’t crap stories or anything, the build up to the act was always good, and always promised so much, but like a bad lover, one thrust and it was all over.Yech! It would seem that the problem of premature ejaculation does not only affect men!
I was trying to figure out why some authors are extremely good at creating fantastic sex scenes that can have you wriggling in your chair, whilst some promise a lot, but in the end leave you feeling as dry as a nun’s c*nt.
There was one romantica book that I read where each sex scene barely lasted a full page, what’s that about? Unless you’re extremely blessed (either that or you’re a nympho) that barely leaves you enough time to get wet! I can honestly say that it takes me longer than a minute to reach the orgasmic state, and if there’s no foreplay, well hell, you may as well bring along some magazines, cuz this could take a while, and you know I aint leaving till I get mine!
Having said that, I have read some books where the foreplay lasted so long, that if that was real life, I probably would have slapped the man upside the head for taking so damned long, and maybe finished the job myself!
So that begs the question, do you feel cheated when an author writes a sex scene that’s all thrust and no foreplay, or do you not mind as long as the story is a good one?

LOL! Karen you kill me, I’m with you all the way when it comes to sex scenes, I’ve read some that were way too long. In fact there was one Elloras Cave author, where the entire book was one big sex scene, it bored me to tears, lol, would it be wrong to tell you the name of the book (wink)?

Foreplay? What’s that? These days if we don’t want to get interrupted by crying baby, it’s a case of wham bam, thank you mam, and to be honest I just feel too tired, oh to be a nympho again, lol.

Tammy,
I am so with you on one big sex scene being boring. I’ve confessed it before and I’ll confess it again. I love characterization. I need more to the stroy than sex. I need to knwo these people outside the bedroom. I want substantial word count devoted to their out of the bedroom moments I want it all. I’ll read a book with great characterization and no sex but i wwon’t read one with all sex and no characterization.

Eloise, you told me you weren’t ever having sex again after your 32 hour labour…. liar, liar, your nose is on fire!
Sarah, I’m with you about the sex thing. All sex and no story, makes Karen a mad girl.

Yeah well Karen, as I recall, I was going through a lot of stress at the time, it must have been all that gas and air during the birthing bit. Not go without sex, I don’t think so chicken!
Sarah, just ignore Karen, I can’t be held responsible for any promises made during labour, as I recall, I told my husband I’d cook proper meals everyday if he took away the pain. We are currently living on the delights of Marks and Spencer’s frozen meals in minutes lol
