To me this whole month is all about research. I was going
to make this happen in Nov, but have decided that, because I'm having a little
bit of trouble finding what I need, and I can't seem to get this topic off my
mind, I am going to push it forward as well as extent it for however long I
need. All this info will be labelled 'research' and will be intertwined throughout
the last couple of months of this year. It will also become something of a
thing whenever I read a book, because...well read on and you will see.
[read this for the first blog, and the reason why I started it, I see no point in saying this shit twice]
[oh, and this one two, but it's not all that important]
It's become painfully clear, as I look up the idea, the
books that I need to make this into what I want it, that book shops are what
makes it hard for YA reader to transition themselves to adult novels.
You have to basically go on
blind luck that you are going to get a novel that has a level of sex that you
can actually deal with and not something that is more erotic. Yeah, I'm
actually disappointed in the book stores or maybe more for the mummy types out
there that hadn't bitched about this yet (really you should look into this,
it's actually something that could be used). I cannot find out, before I buy a
book, whether or not I'm seeing just a normal romance novel, or if it's an
erotic ones. And just by the name you know there's a huge difference.
And there is, the biggest is that a lot of people aren't ready for that
type of book, and a lot of them, most really, that are paranormal and well
known, spoken about are actually closer to erotic than they are just
plan.
The difference, if you don't know, and you are the ones that I'm writing
this for, is that a planner type of sex in a book is something you probably
want to read when you were going into the adult novels. They are the ones that
are less...um...involved in the sex.
Okay, this isn't really working, I'm going to show you the difference
between what I think is the type of book you should read. I'm going to start
with something that's very light and that works its way up--this is only from
my own shelves, hopefully throughout the post I will have a lot better ideas. (Though
I might show you like this, just what the sex is like in each book I recommended
or don't so that you can all see if you can handle it or not, deal?)

than anything, and there will be no spoilers]
Stray by Rachel Vincent (#2)
Page
235, bottom: I gasp to feel him
lift my breast, bringing as much as he could into his mouth. He pulled gently
on my nipple, his tongue hot against my skin, his mouth demanding. I moaned,
burying my hands in his hair, my head thrown back and my eyes close.
Further
down page/236: He moved against me,
then in my.
I exhaled, letting go of more anguish than I'd known I held. I closed my eyes...

There is, all up, 6 pages,
from the first kiss to the passing out at the end. It’s deep, loving, and more
about a reconnection than the actual sex. About something to take a mind off. This
is the simplest type of book I have, or more so I thought the sex in it was the
lightest, the type you could deal with if you want to change over.even when the sex in in progress, it's about her hands, the smells, not what it feels like, inside.
I find that books that are set in the older times, 18th-early
19th century are less likely to be about the full sex, that’s not
saying that they can’t be seeing as I have only read two authors who are into historical
shit, it’s not my thing, really.
Okay, so I’m never, at all sure, if this is historical or not, but it’s
set in 1881, so that’s old right.
Bride of the Wolf
by Susan Krinard (#3 but swinging towards #4) I think.
This part isn’t from the actual sex scene, it’s from...well, I guess, it
sorta is, but it isn’t. Read the book and you’ll understand. I will not make
these about actually sex, mostly a bit of foreplay that shows how the sex will
be like.
Bottom page 245: then his lips were on her breasts, his
tongue following a moment later with hungry little flicks that pulled her
nipples into hard, aching peaks. She flung back her head and gave herself
over to the wanton inside her, moaning and lacing her fingers through his
hair as he suckled her, first one breast and then the other. He was not
gentle, but she wanted nothing of gentleness after so long waiting. He kissed
her again, almost savagely, and pushed her down on her back.

There is two, sex scenes in this book. One is from the one above and the
other is an actual sex scene near the end. But they are...well, I would suggest
this as one of the books that are lighter, but it’s still a lot more about the
sex when it’s written.
The next is from The Vampire Voss by Colleen Gleason. (#3), again this
is a historical and a little safer to read than the one above.
This is the actually sex, because it’s less than the scene before it,
though saying this that scene is still light enough to be considered soft.
Page 367: His eyes closed momentarily, and then opened again. Looking down at
her, something blazing there that had nothing to do with the devil and
everything to do with purity, he shifted and pushed...and filled her.
Angelica’s eyes widened at the pure shock of
eroticism, a feeling she could never have imagined or described...then with a
sharp movement, he went deeper. The pain was lost in stillness to a hot,
fast, building rhythm.

There are four sexual encounters in this book, more about the temptation
than actual sex, there small encounters that shape a lot, and though sex is
talked about more (or thought about) there is only one part that has a full experimental
and yet it still has that chasteness that comes from the time period.
This next on is an example of
having only one sex scene in a book, but it’s something a little more...
Sins of the Heart by Eve Silver (#4)
This book has
a lot more pinning, in it, than the one above, and less actual contact between
them, it’s meet and wow, were as the book above is a...more...need to stay
clear of that one.
This is a part
in the middle of it all, but it’s the best part I think to show you what the
sex is like without being about sex. (Sorry but I still want to keep this as
young as I can)
Page 291, half way down: “Offer them to me, Roxy,” he ordered against her lips. “Offer me your
breasts.”
The words made her
hot, wet. She cupped her palms under her breasts and lifted them, offered
them.
His head dipped. His
hand slid between her legs and he pushed his fingers inside her as he closed
his teeth on her nipple. She jolted, moaned, the pleasure so intense she
thought she was going to unravel right then.

This book sex 8 pages of the
sex scene. And it’s like that. All the way through it.
So that’s it for the moment,
next post I’m hoping will be able to have a list of books that will help. I’m
going to be asking and hopefully I’ll be able to start looking into these books
for you. But we’ll have to see what happens. ‘Cause not everything goes as you’d
like it to, does it?
Thanks for your time.
