Have a Laugh

I seem to have had sex on the brain this week. Not, mind you in the way that would make my husband a happy camper. No, it's been more of the how much is too much and how much is not enough in my writing. I write for two different publishers, one erotic romance and one "spicy" romance, and I've always got to balance the two, and remember which one I'm writing for at any given time. I also belong to a fabulous critique group, where this week we had a huge discussion on if and then how we would critique "erotic" material, which of course brings up the question of what exactly constitutes erotic material.

The end result was for the most part, a headache. A really big whopping one of the hurts-to-hold-my-head-up-or-my-eyes-open variety. So to give everyone a break, I've decided to post some great quotes about sex. I got these off of one loop or another, so my profound thanks to whoever sent them.
