Thanks RT, I totally agree with what you said.RT_offscript wrote: ↑05 Aug 2018, 13:43I agree with you Zain A Blade! I think that romance does not always require "hot sex scenes." I have watched many movies and read many books that I would still consider romantic without such scenes. I believe that the story just requires: (1) great character development of the loving relationship between two people and (2) their actions for each other as a result of their love.Zain A Blade wrote: ↑08 Jun 2018, 14:31 For one, I don't believe that the romance genre translates to "hot sex scenes". Romance is about love, l'amour as the French would say. But I agree, the word "cock" is just so raw and improper language for the educated class.

In regards to use of the word cock, I think it’s difficult for authors to word sex scenes correctly. They want you to infer intimacy and passion, but also not be too crude. It’s a difficult rope to walk.
