True. I think some people just have more of a talent when it comes to scenes like that. Every author can't write every type of fiction.Kelyn wrote: ↑04 Oct 2018, 16:29 Unfortunately, having actually tried my hand at writing them, I can say that they are definitely harder to do than it would seem and still keep it in good taste. Go too far and it becomes porn. Rein it in too much and it may become both boring for the reader and/or, as you said, "cringe-worthy."

I think the author is just shy.

I do appreciate erotic scenes when they are tasteful and meaningful to the plot. Since it's not an easy task, I feel like the author should have just skipped over those scenes. Poorly written erotic scenes really devalue a book in my opinion.AliceofX wrote: ↑01 Sep 2018, 02:58 To me, that was the most cringe-inducing part of the book. I can't stand when writers try to be all literary and use phrases like, "openly displaying his manly attributes," and, "She was a tight bud opening to his heat." Just use adult words for goodness sake.
But maybe that's just me. Maybe that would have made the book too adult. What did you think?
