- THE REAL TABOO Today I talked to a book group. I talked about the complexity of human character, the mutability of emotion. One formidable woman in her eighties asked if I had ever fallen in love. What is love? I mused. She announced that she indeed knew what was to fall in love. Did you stay in love? I asked. Yes, she said firmly. I stayed in love for sixty years. For her, ...

- Sex: To write the scene or not to write the scene. As a reader, I have mixed feelings. As a writer, ditto. The basic rule of thumb is that if the scene isn't doing some kind of work to further the plot, characterization, pacing, atmosphere, etc., then it has no place in the story.When I read sex scenes, there are times when they are tantalizing, teasing, tense, horrifying, in short any or all the ...

- We are all here because of sex. God knew we couldn't survive without it. I mean, without sex, how would we have ever come up with the idea of a God? Doubt it? Even atheists cry out, "Oh, god! Oh, god!" when sex nears a climax.We love sex so much that religion can't stop talking about it. The Old Testament begins with a naked Adam and Eve who are instructed to do it. Of course, the Old ...

- I'm reading a modern story about the politics of the Middle East and the military and political personnel among nations who twist and turn in the wind with their attempts to benefit from the turmoil and chaos around oil. Thus, I could well blog about politics, espionage, secret service and clandestine activity since the author claims to be quite the authority.However, I am quite interested in ...

"Leave it on the porch." When he leaves we gasp, "Oh my God!" Margie whispers red panties. Jill has been lounging in pink polka-dotted birthday ...

- It took over twenty years of writing, finishing several novels, screenplays, and shorts, before I had my first taste of being an author. I began by attempting to sell my literary sci-fi. Armed with a handful of finished works, I set out to take the literary world by storm. After hundreds of rejections, some encouraging but most dismissive, I decided to take a different approach. Maybe I needed to ...

- I was titillated today to see Red Room's topic of the week: "Sex, Religion, and/or Politics." It's true that like many of us, as a child I was taught that whenever my parents had company, religion and politics were to be avoided-well, avoided if that meant our guests had a difference of opinion from my father's. If the guests were conservative and Republican, there was an inspired ...

- 2:35 PM PDT, August 14, 2009 What a clever sentence. It's use intrigues me since it has zillions of possibilities. At the moment it's tied in with Obama and the people who are fed up with his high spending sprees and a health care bill that is nonsensical. But I forsee a broader scope that needs to be addressed that we can tag with the above line. 60 billion people in America are sexual ...
