Okay, you've gone to great pains to develop
your _____ (insert characters). Enough with the damn plot development. It's
time for a sex scene. It's also decision time. What is the purpose of the
scene? Is the sex supposed to cement the characters' relationship? Is it a
casual release? Is it the breaking point? The purpose of the scene often
dictates the best approach to its portrayal.
In Earth Angel, I wanted the sex scenes to
further the characters' relationships. Prince Dzhok (who goes by Jack) is a
Qpiad (often misspelled as "cupid" in Earthside English). "Make
love, not war" is central to his persona. He makes loves often, with over 1,980
offspring. The Qpiad are human appearing humanoids with one significant
distinguishing ability. They are always a perfect sexual fit for their
partners, regardless of size, species, or color. Jack takes his lovemaking very
seriously, and is an All-Realms master of the simultaneous orgasm. Accordingly,
with Jack, it was important to focus on his techniques.
Salash, Jack's oldest friend and lover, the
mother of 22 of his children, is a full blooded High Sidhe. The High Sidhe are
extremely flexible. When an Earthside gymnast scores a "10", the
judges should always check for High Sidhe blood. With Salash, I needed to show
her flexibility.
Having identified the purpose of the sex
scene, the next decision is the lexicon. The mechanics of any sex scene,
whether M-F, F-F, or M-M are going to be pretty much the same. Tactile
stimulation is followed by some form of penetration in one or more orifices.
But the word choices one uses to describe the process are the key. Identify
your target, the mind, the groin, or both, and attack.
The Mind: In one sense this is both the
easiest and the hardest target. The more that is left to the imagination, the
greater the attack on the mind. "He undid another button, then kicked the
door shut....Mary woke the next morning..." In this case, the sex is
entirely inferential, and may be as hot and kinky or as quick and vanilla as
the reader chooses. However, if you truly wish to engage the reader's mind,
then be prepared to show the reader everything that happened once the door
closed. Describe the mounting sensations, the distended time, and the
cataclysmic finale. Focus on anything and everything except the actual physical
act, except as may be necessary to describe the next round of sensations. Use
metaphors and similes rather than descriptions of the physical act.
The Groin: This is probably the easiest
approach. Just call it like you see it. Describe the participants' physical
attributes in as much detail as you desire, then focus on the mechanics. Be
sure to add telling sound effects.
Both: This one is a bit trickier. You need
to handle this like a sports broadcast. Part of you needs to write the play by
play, while another part provides the "color".
That said, here's a quickie from Earth
Angel:
As Salash climbed back onto the bed, Jack
flipped over on top of Brunhilde, and slowly guided himself inside her.
Although Brunhilde stood a full head taller than Jack, he had no trouble
filling her, much to her pleasant surprise. In fact, she remarked that next to
Thor, he was probably the largest she had ever had, and she never would have
guessed from looking him over just before he got into the bath.
He did not take offense at the comparison.
He knew he could be larger than Thor if he so chose. He preferred his current
size, which was a custom fit to Brunhilde's hot,
wet passage. Salash placed her hands on either side of Brunhilde's head,
then pressed herself up into a handstand with her legs straight and together.
She then slowly bent at the waist into an inverted pike position until she
formed a perfect inverted “L”, with
her legs parallel to Brunhilde's body, extending just
slightly over Jack's head. Whenever a human gymnast scores a
perfect “10”, the
officials should always check for Sidhe blood―but
they never do. Salash opened her legs, extended her tongue, and slowly bent her
arms until her legs rested on Jack's shoulders.
Brunhilde had time for a quick “Showoff!” before
Salash's tongue was in her mouth. Jack leaned
forward and began tonguing Salash, while vigorously pumping Brunhilde until
they all came simultaneously. Let Thor try to pull that one off!

Blurb: There are seven parallel worlds
known as the Seven Realms which are separated by a Veil. Six are inhabited by
all manner of entities, some natural, some not. That may not be the case for
much longer. The first portion of the High Sidhe Prophecy of the Sevens has
been fulfilled. The Anarch, who is one with the Veil, has escaped. If she
chooses, she can part or drop the Veil or she can lift the Veil in its
entirety. The Seven Realms will converge. The laws of physics and magic will
collide head on. Unless she is stopped,there will be nothing left.
Queen Amura has called for an assembly of
the signatories to the High Sidhe's Second Accords, a multi-realm peace treaty
to consider how to deal with the threat of the Anarch. An Earthside TechnoWitch
and other dark forces also are seeking
to control the Anarch. Prince Dzhok (Jack), High Sidhe Ambassador Salash
(Jack's oldest friendand lover), and Valkyrie Brunhilde set out to find and
befriend the Anarch before all is lost.
