We've talked about sex scenes in books before and her whole attitude about them is 'meh'. She reads a ton (literally) of romance novels every year and she flips past the racy stuff. If it gets too racy, she puts the book down and starts another one.B.E.

Zomg,...LOL, Jeffe, I reckon I'll keep 'em.<br /><br />Zomg, KC, I'm dyin' to know how your dad reacts too! Three cheers for the supportive parents through, right? Even if it does make family dinner a little awkward. :D<br /><br />Allison, how <i>did</i> your dad respond to BoD?<br /><br />Cuttlefish, I love that answer from your dad. Good luck with your publishing quest!<br /><br />Sullivan, ya know. I think my grandmothers might have been a bit like yours!K.A.

I did warn him about the sheer volume and visceral nature of the sexual content of the first J R Ward book he picked up off my shelf, he simply grinned and said, ‘Well that sounds right up my street!’. <br />I honestly don't know what either of them would think if I presented them with a sex scene I had written but I would guess that as long as it was well written and in context they both would be more impressed than embarrassed? I genuinely hope to find out one day!cuttlefishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973758475947253237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663321286319002443.post-24775529906083026372011-12-13T10:33:35.082-05:002011-12-13T10:33:35.082-05:00Heh - I suspect I'm going to have a very simil...Heh - I suspect I'm going to have a very similar post come Thursday. >_<Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08810952821295312008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663321286319002443.post-88319132186063365362011-12-13T10:28:19.078-05:002011-12-13T10:28:19.078-05:00Fun post!

Mom can't believe anyone would read books like mine (although she's "met some gay people and they were very nice"). Dad just got his a couple of days ago. Dad is also a tree-hugger Anglican minister. I'm waiting to see how that shakes out.KC Burnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12054334177185905626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663321286319002443.post-17047454006534377292011-12-13T10:06:05.309-05:002011-12-13T10:06:05.309-05:00It is sound, sage advice.
