Dirty talk.

So, do you talk dirty in bed? I don’t. In fact, it totally turns me off. However, I have found that many of my um, characters like to whisper sweet nothings into their partner’s ear. Well, my characters are dirty little things and they have minds of their own. Plus, I think dirty talk is pretty common amongst even vanilla some folk.

Do you watch Rock of Love? That episode where Brett Michaels had all the contestants talk dirty over the phone to him was pretty hot. And hey! Didn’t Poison sing that song, Talk Dirty to Me? That song was a total hit. I mean, if a song goes crazy on the charts there must be something to it, right?

Anyhow, if you want to get started on the verbal nastiness, here is a tip. Just talk about what you’re doing, or what you want him to do to you. For example:

“Oh, you rock of love! I just love it so very much when you plummet your man member into my vagina!”

Or:

“Oh, I just love to take your man member into my mouth and suck, suck suck your man juice down my throat!”

See? Instant hotness. Am I right?

So I bought this book…

…and you can find out more about it here.

I chose it for research purposes, ahem. I liked that fact that it pointed out how America in general has the appearance of being a prudish, uptight society. But if you go deep into the heart of the midwest, for example, you’ll find couples signing up for exotic vacations where they can swap partners, etc.

I’ve only read a little bit of it (just got it, and haven’t had much reading time lately – hub is still out of town!) but it’s interesting. And very true. The society we present as a public image is rather prudish and uptight. Yet it seems to be a growing phenomenon that behind closed doors (or in exotic locales, fetish clubs, etc.) we’re doing the wild thing in an extra wild way.

Which is great for us as erotic romance/erotica writers (more interest/sales – yay!). There’s nothing wrong with a positive view on sexuality. All of that negativity and prudishness drives me batty to be honest.

Though I have to say I was totally shocked when I walked through my local B&N this morning and saw this book face out on the shelf. It was the sexuality area but still! Naughty.

So has anyone read this book (the first book not the naughty book, LOL)? Heard any buzz on this book? Think that we as a society are a bunch of prudes and we should embrace our inner sexpots and let it all hang out? Discuss.

How stupid am I?

I ran out of gas this morning…in my garage.  Yes, IN the garage.  As in, I apparently BARELY made it home from work yesterday.   *sigh*

I haven’t run out of gas in, well, since I had kids so at least fourteen years.  That’s just NOT something you want to do with kids, ya know?  They NEVER let you live it down–trust me I’m still hearing about locking my keys in the car at Christmas.

So come on, cough it up. What’s the dumbest thing you’ve done in the last 30 days. Make me feel better (and not so alone).

Well, since I’m a dork and forgot to blog last night (I was in a 2k writing groove!). I’m going to cop out and put up a video. But really? I’m SO glad it gives me a reason NOT to wait until Video Saturday!
