    Never really believing that there can be bad sex, I was surprised to find that there is a "Bad Sex in Fiction Award", and that it is, indeed in its sexteenth year. The naked descriptions I'll leave to your own search of the links. One highlight is that John Updike was given a...

Sacred Sexual Science     It is generally agreed that God is love. For the atheist I could reword it and say ‘Love is divine’. OK that said let me define my terms: For the common man God is something inconceivable in which to believe, but for the mystic God is the highest and inmost ideal. Love as...

Describing sex or writing in a sexual way can give a story a little more to draw the eye in as we all know that titilating the reader is really the goal of any good writing. This is not to say that the only good writing involves some sort of sexual aspect, but good writing does touch something in...

Don't ask me why I'm doing this - I don't even know myself - but I'm gonna do it anyway - a list of words I hate. I'm not quite sure exactly why I hate them - though I think it has something to do with the fact that they don't sound "real" - if you know what I mean. Or they're pretentious...

It's Sunday. That means that we TIVO the football game and instead sit down with nine teenaged boys (usually there are girls, too, but not this year), ages 12-14, and talk about sex. Yup, my husband and I teach sex in Sunday school. We're Unitarian-Universalists, so this is not usual for us. In...

My perfect relationship would be to have hot, hot passionate sex with my partner, then go off and follow whatever creative  pursuits might engage us -- some together, some on our own. Then we would come back, look at what we have done or listen to it, discuss it, then more sex, because that kind...

The presidential election has it covered as usual: two to the right, two to the left. The VP candidates are rightihanders, the presidential candidates are lefties (no need to name names, but one's a Red Roomer). Is history being made? Not really. In `92 we had three prominent lefties running for...

 Dear writers, The deadline I set to finish my first volume of Eva Roger's Small Hotels Mysteries, September 30, 2008, has come and gone, but I'm close, very close. Setting deadlines helps me as long as I don't let those deadlines push me into offering a book I'm much less than happy with. These...
