Sex scenes (everywhere)


Let's talk sex scenes in books and/or movies - at least the high price ones that was more focused on the characters shoulders and sheet covered hips. 

But let's not get ahead of ourself. 

first thing to know is that I don't mind sex scenes, I actually like them in most cases but there are times when your reading a book where it's there for no reason that I can see and that pisses me off, makes the book turn to shit in my opinion. The page fillers that you can find at all satisfying then if you were reading porn. And you do know there is that shit out there and if I wanted to read only sex I would have gone and bought myself one of them instead of this romance. 

it's like... I don't know. I hate reading unnecessary sex scenes. I hate it mostly because it seems like the centre of it is sex rather than the love between them. And honestly, even though they can say: 'it's more than the sex that I want, it's her/him. It’s the person behind all this flesh'. Yeah okay, there my words but it's what happens and yet there having sex when it's not something they had to be doing. so really it's contradicting the words thought threw the sex because, like really, all it is between you - all we see about you is the sex and the lust. 

Not that I'm saying there's anything wrong with it. I like romances for the fact that it's lust related, though they say it's not, really, that's all we’re seeing. But then when they put in that horrid scene. honestly I would have preferred to read that page or less than have to have go through reading that sex. I just really hate it. I hate that it's there, that I can tell it's only because there isn't anything else they (the author) can use to add the scenes together. And it's that that I don't like, the scene that are truly there for no reason. And you can see that. 

Or maybe that's just me. 

But I can and it's something that I hate. I also hate love stories that would have been better without the love in it. Why can't characters just have a lust affair why can't people (reader, cause that's who we write for) get the idea around a relationship that only works around a few days rather than a full soulmate thing. 'cause I have read a book or two that would have worked wonders, and much better than they did, if it was more about the fact that they got together and then when there separate way at the end of the book, friends even. Why does everyone always want a happy ending? Why can't they be happy with something that's probably much more reality based. 

It’s something I think about a lot while writing my romance. Though I won’t people to read it I don't think I'm going to be able to write a complete lust filled story because every time I do that all I want is for them to fall into bed and then... that's it. And to be honest it's how both my books start. It’s not till book three that they will come to the love later on in the story. 

It’s even worse (sex scenes) when they are in high price movies, the ones that have actors that can turn down breasts and junk off the film. The ones that are all about a slide of a sheet. A hand running across a shoulder. Hell half the time it's not even a little bit convincing that they are having sex. And the other half you’re watching fact orgasm faces. Honestly, the only orgasm face that I want to watch is the one that I'm giving someone else, and that's more to do with pride than the fact that it's anything to look at. Though most of the time it is, but like I say, pride makes a shit load of things better than they really are. 

Still, that's a little - nah, I really hate sex scenes in movies, unless I'm watching porn or it's done in a way that is really like sex. Like um... Sex and other drugs was a good movie and that was full of sex. But something like...I don't know. I hate high budget movies that have sex scenes in it. They sex so much and all they really make me thinks is, "the wont fit in her belly button no matter how hard you try." 

Shit I hate it. I really do.  I'm not sure why it's become such a hot subject for me at the moment. Maybe cause I'm writing sex scenes at the moment, you know there all I've been thinking about. Which sucks and has... yeah, more than you will ever need to know about me. Also people I have to see (sis, parents) might be reading this so it's best not to get into anything...
  Also, it's not really the sex that I have been thinking about, but where it should be, what it should be like, and what I need to know with the characters that I am writing it for. Since, yeah, the characters are into sex that I'm not and well, it's hard to write when you’re not sure how it sits. So it's researching sex. Which is really where it comes to me seeing sex everywhere. And I really mean everywhere. It sucks and I honestly can't wait till it's over and I can, you know, more to the next thing I need to know about.
