And LOL on the ah, tiger, bits - ouch!!<br />so glad it's working for you today, think there were a few troubles with it for some reason or another =(Mel Teshcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12945507690555119380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-21660241976968010062010-03-27T19:34:55.102+11:002010-03-27T19:34:55.102+11:00Hard to know if it was erotica I was reading but I...Hard to know if it was erotica I was reading but I read a shapeshifter/erotica once that had him in tiger form during most of the sex scenes. They really added nothing except to gross me out and I discovered a line I wouldn't cross! I'm okay with partially shifted where there's still a decent number of human parts but fully shifted bothers me. <br /><br />And it bothered me more that the author hadn't researched tiger biology because there are a heap of anatomical reasons you really don't want to have sex with a male tiger. Just ask a female one...<br /><br />Great post Mel.

I agre...Aw, thanks for the kind words above, Mel! <br /><br />I agree with everyone else above about how flat a 'docking procedure' comes across. Luckily there are heaps of great erotica writers around!<br /><br />I think the good thing about your erotica, Mel, is that your characters are real and their situations are interesting. The fact that they're smokin' is just icing. =)Rachel Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200504088343160284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-23862653558554702242010-03-27T09:00:50.804+11:002010-03-27T09:00:50.804+11:00Hey Sharon!

It's got to grab me, make my pay attention and hit all the emotion for the characters.<br /><br />When I was young I read a rape scene in a waterfall that I remember to this day. Wish I could remember the book - sadly I gave it to Dad to read, and he promptly burned it and made me watch! LOL!

Exciting times!<br /><br />I get put off by short, low tension erotic scenes. You know, where there's little lead up and it all happens too quick and for no apparent reason. The ones where it seems like after minimal foreplay and one thrust she's screaming from multiple orgasms. For me, they lack sensuality and emotional development and they're usually boring to boot.<br /><br />Congratulations again, Mel and thanks for the insight with your post.

Your own values shine through in it, and your integrity as an author - nice post!<br /><br />For me, in an erotic scene if the emotional attachment/connection is missing and it is (as the lovely Denise Rossetti likes to call it - just docking procedures,) then its a turn-off.<br /><br />Can't wait to read another Mel Tescho story!<br /><br />Bye 4 now<br />TinaTina Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04523915072861591464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-5309406174100181882010-03-25T09:05:27.906+11:002010-03-25T09:05:27.906+11:00Hi Eleni,
