1. As a writer, do you like to experience the sexual acts that you write about in order to write about them convincingly? I think it’s essential. You have to assume that some of your readers will have experienced some if not all of the sexual acts you’re describing and will be able to spot it if you’re faking. I’ve often read erotica where I’m thinking ‘he/she hasn’t really done this’. When you’re writing about something you’ve experienced, it all flows much better and the descriptions are more convincing. There’s almost a sexual drive to the writing that heightens the quality and makes it feel more alive. You re-live and re-create at the same time. It can be very arousing.
2. Are there any sexual acts that you have written about that you are yet to experience? If so, what? And do you think you ever will? Everything I’ve written about in A Bouquet of Gardenias I experienced myself. The only thing that’s mentioned by a character that she hasn’t done is golden showers. She fantasises about another woman urinating over her body and even into her mouth. Just like the character, this is something I’ve fantasised about but have never done. The same character fantasises about another woman punching her in the face during a sexual act. This is something I’ve never done and don’t really fancy. Slapping, yes; punching, no.
3. What about an erotic scene in a book turns you on the most? It depends upon the situation and the characters. I like it when a woman is introduced to a sexual practice that she was reluctant to try or thought she wouldn’t like, such as being spanked, caned, tied, experiencing anal play and/or penetration or a combination of all of those. The moment she realises that she not only enjoys the practice but is incredibly turned on by it and wants more and more is always erotic to read about. Perhaps it’s the process of seeing someone innocent becoming debauched and having a darker side appear, one that they themselves didn’t consciously know about.
4. Does your partner (if you have one) know you write erotica? If so, do they read your work? If they do, do they find it arousing? My partner knows I write erotica but he is the only one that does. What I wrote had to be totally and strictly anonymous, otherwise it would not be the same book. If you can let go of your inhibitions by thinking ‘no one I know will ever know about this or read this’ then the whole thing becomes different and far more arousing to write and far more arousing for the reader. All hell breaks loose. My partner has read A Bouquet of Gardenias, but, like many other readers, has only been able to read it in short spurts, particularly when I’m around!
5. Have you ever turned yourself on writing one of your own sex scenes? Certainly. A Bouquet of Gardenias was a long book and took a long time to write. I found that I was getting extremely aroused from anticipating what was going to happen in the story and particularly when writing the explicit sex scenes. Part of it was remembering the true-life experiences that inspired the book, some of which I hadn’t thought about for a long time. I used being turned on as fuel for the writing and I’m sure the reader can feel it. Having said that, I was unable to sustain writing for more than forty or forty-five minutes. It just became too uncomfortable and frustrating and I had to have a break.
6. Do you ever read one handed? And not because you are stirring the Bolognese ;) Yes I do. I’ve always read a lot of erotica and, unless it’s really badly written, it’s always been able to turn me on really fast. I keep thinking ‘I’ve got to see if I can at least finish a chapter this time’, but it’s rare that I do. With some subtle erotica writers, like Anaïs Nin, it sort of creeps up on you until you suddenly realise you’re in a real state.
7. What’s the naughtiest, dirtiest thing you have ever written? Give us an excerpt or tell us about the scene. Ooh. That’s hard to decide. A little excerpt from A Bouquet of Gardenias might do the trick: ‘I squeeze Steve’s dick and slowly, very slowly, push the tip into Fiona’s hole. Despite the toys and fingers we’ve used, she’s still a little tight, but most anal virgins usually are. Steve is rock hard, as he needs to be for this, but after some very slow pushing, I can feel him going past her muscle and after a few minutes of very gentle but persistent pressure, he slides past her sphincter and is properly inside her. She moans: it’s a long, long wailing moan and one of absolute pleasure and lust. By now, maybe two inches of Steve’s rigid prick have just gone in. She’s hyperventilating. She’s moaning more loudly. She grinds her ass back onto Steve’s dick, but I put a hand on her ass to stop her. I know she wants it right in right now, shafting her, but I think the pace is best left to Steve at the moment. After all, he’s done this many times before.
I rub her back and her bottom and Steve continues with his tiny pushes. I think he’s got a little over three inches in her now, moving slowly in and out, gently fucking her ass. She’s mewling in ecstasy. I give him one last squeeze and smile at him and nod. She’s ready. He grabs her ass and very, very slowly, his whole length disappears into her ass. I think it’s the single most erotic thing I’ve ever seen.’
8. What’s the naughtiest, dirtiest book you have ever read? That’s a difficult question to answer. I’ve referenced this before, but there’s a book called Managing Mrs Burton by Laurel Aspen which is a collection of short stories with a spanking theme. I bought it in 2001 and it really opened my eyes to the pleasure a woman could get from a hard spanking. At the time, spanking as a part of sex was something I wasn’t that familiar with and it felt really naughty to be aroused by the idea and to want to try it myself. Of course now it’s commonplace. In fact, I’m being spanked as I’m typing this!
9. Do you use porn as a stimulant for writing erotic scenes? I don’t watch it while I’m writing, but there are some scenes from porn films that have stayed in my head and that I sometimes incorporate. I remember watching a soft porn film where this really beautiful woman in her thirties was being fucked by a guy in front of a load of people, but they weren’t kissing; he was just fucking her. The moment they kissed passionately for the for time was electrifying. In A Bouquet of Gardenias, the character of Fiona has sex many times with Fiona’s husband before they kiss. I think the intention in the story was for it not to get too emotional as he was trying to impregnate her. The kiss was the moment it turned into something else.
10. Are there any consensual sexual acts that you would never write about? If so, why not? I can’t think of anything off the top of my head. There are a few uber-kinky things that I haven’t written about, but only because there was no room for them in the story or they were not appropriate to the characters or the scene in some way or other.
11. Do you find certain erotic/sexual scenes hard to write? E.g. M/M, F/F, anal sex, bondage. No. I’ve never written M/M, but that’s just because there was only one M in my novel. I’m experienced with Japanese bondage and other forms, but they can be rather difficult to write about; knot-tying and all the rest of it. Which bit is tied to which other bit. I try to keep it simple when writing about bondage otherwise the reader won’t know what the hell’s going on. It’s complicated enough in real life!
Thanks so much for taking the time to answer our naughty questions.
We hope you had fun ;)
