The other day, TTG and I were putting away the shopping, when we got onto the subject of the difference between my romance books, and porn. This is how the conversation went:

TTG: *Grabs book off kitchen top*
TTG: Jesus, this is pure porn.
KS: No it’s not:
TTG: *Reads out loud* “Her tongue flattened, raking the sensitive flesh beneath his cock and she felt another pulse of liquid, fall from the engorged flesh”
KS: What’s your point?
TTG: That’s porn:
KS: ::BLINKS::
TTG: If you put that scene in a film, it would be pornographic.
KS: It was romantic.
TTG: ::BLINKS::
TTG: *Looks at cover suspiciously*
TTG: Hmm… isn’t she the writer who likes anal?
KS: Erm…
TTG: Do you think she likes it up the arse?
KS: *lifts head from out of the fridge* Who?
TTG: Her
KS: *Checks cover*
KS: Dunno.
TTG: I reckon she does.
KS: Where did you put the toothpaste?
TTG: In fact, I think most of your writers are probably into kinky stuff
KS: What kinky stuff?
TTG: You know… water sports, and that kinda thing
KS: *SIGHS*
KS: I don’t read fetish books
TTG: Isn’t anal sex a fetish?
KS: Erm… I dunno.
TTG: Take away the storyline, and you’re left with porn.
KS: ::BLINKS::
KS: At least my porn has words.
TTG: So do mine
KS: ‘Suck Me Big Boy’ ten million times doesn’t count.
TTG: It’s art.
KS: Uh huh…
TTG: ::Silence::
TTG: Do you wanna go to bed?
KS: *Lifts head from shopping bags*
KS: What?
TTG: I feel horny.
KS: ::BLINKS::
KS: I’ve got a headache.
TTG: I bet the women in your books never have headaches.
KS: The men in my books all have twelve inch dicks, so what’s your point?
TTG: ::Silence::
TTG: So do you think she likes it up the arse then?
KS: FOR THE LOVE OF FUCKING GOD, WHO GIVES A SHIT! NOW FIND THE FUCKING TOOTHPASTE!

Men.

    Men are always telling us they are simple to understand and it really is about time we took them at their word.

    Hehehe, that made me laugh. My husband once thumbed through a novel that used the word “nub”, and he still has a chuckle over that, once in a while. Then again, I left a copy of MJD’s Undead and Unwed near the toilet and the other day he told me it was a really good read!

    Holy Shit, that’s funny!

    My husband told me that, when he’s on the throne, he sometimes picks up my books and reads my favorite scenes.

    DH: So those parts made you really horny, huh?
    ME: What parts?
    DH: Your favorite scenes.
    ME: HUH? How would you know my favorite scenes?
    DH: You turned the pages down on your favorites, right? Those are the pages I read. So are those the scenes that made you the horniest?
    ME: If it’s a book I’m going to comment about on my blog, I dog-ear pages that contain points I want to bring up or problems with the story.
    DH: oh

    That’s exactly what I want to know–if she likes it up the arse.

    Tell TTG he’s not alone in his musings. 🙂

    I laughed out loud when I read this. While I can’t say we were putting away groceries GG and I have had the “it’s porn for women” convo. Very funny. Did you ever find the toothpaste?

    Hee. I’ve had this same convo with my husband WAY too many times.

    Of course, he’s also the one who keeps telling me I ought to put anal in my books (along with ejaculation on the face (because that’s every woman’s dream)). Sigh. Men.

    Hey Karen – maybe he’s trying to tell YOU something with the question. Sounds like he wants to explore “other avenues” if you know what I mean. *wink wink nudge nudge*

    Erm, gone are the days where I can freely talk about my sex life on this blog, so I’ll just stick to ‘no comment’ *g*

    Sorry Babz, I didn’t see your question there. The book was Tanner’s Scheme, and the author was Lora Leigh, but I kinda figured most people guessed it was her, lol!
    I enjoyed the book by the way, I’d recommend it to anyone who likes erotic romance, and doesn’t mind an uber alpha hero.

    Hey Karen

    It was our anniversary on Tuesday, which is why we went to the movies.

    I gave DH the choice of The Bourne Thingy (which I didn’t really want to see) and Transformers. So obviously, when he said he didn’t mind which one, I immediately booked tickets for Transformers before he changed his mind! LOL

    We went to Barbados and were skirted by Hurricane Dean. I really wanted to go to Jamaica, but he said it was dangerous!! Can you imagine that from a Black man? I was so annoyed with him I told him “Bollocks!”, completely forgetting that Jade was with us. *G*

    Anyway, it was fantastic! I would thoroughly recommend it. The food was great – even the hotel food (I think I sneaked Tamarind Balls back to our room from the lunch buffet every day). We swam with turtles and even saw some baby turtles being released into the sea!

    We stayed at the Hilton and – oh, oh, gotta tell you this! – Nick Knowles was staying at our hotel. I love Nick Knowles! However, I made a complete twat of myself when I went over to tell him how much I loved his programmes. Jade stayed well away from me while I humiliated myself.

    The weather was beautiful and we only “lost” about a day and a half through the hurricane, then the sun came back out and we were back on the beach!

    Sorry, that went on a bit long didn’t it? Bet you wish you hadn’t asked. LOL
