Well, I enjoy well written erotica - and I can even get into mediocre erotica. But bad erotica is some of the worst material I've ever seen. And I haven't been happy with the few attempts I've made at writing such a scene. I can picture it, and in the past when I've had an SO to 'talk dirty' too I've been told I can produce some nice imagery... but when I try to put it in text I don't like it. The only erotica I've really shown to others are stories I've written for an SO when I'm in an LDR or the like. They've been, um, well received - but I've been too reserved to do anything more public.

I also have a thing about gratuitous sex in fiction - if it doesn't further the story in some way, I don't see why it should be there. I also kind of like leaving things up to the reader's imagination.

Though, as Gryph said, we've been plotting some scenes that will probably require pushing the limits of where we've gone with respect to sex in our stories. (Despite his 'I' - we've actually been developing the scenes jointly.)

Hey, you at least *have* an SO - and even with 2000 miles there is the phone, email, etc. (No, I'm not really bitter, just in a funk.)
