Tired of writing sex scenes that sound like they were penned by a robot with a medical degree and questionable understanding of human emotions? You're not alone. If you've ever written a love scene and thought, "This reads like assembly instructions for very complicated furniture," this book is for you. If your beta readers have ever asked, "Are your characters having sex or performing surgery?" this book is DEFINITELY for you. Here's the brutal truth: Most romance writers create intimate scenes that make readers laugh for all the wrong reasons. We're talking about scenes where anatomy defies physics, where personalities disappear the moment clothes come off, and where "throbbing members" and "silken sheaths" appear more often than actual human emotions. What you'll learn in this no-BS guide:How to write intimate scenes that focus on emotions instead of mechanics (your characters are people, not assembly instructions) The secret to avoiding cringe-worthy language (spoiler: stop trying to find creative names for body parts) Why your characters' personalities shouldn't vanish during sex scenes (the witty heroine doesn't suddenly become a moaning robot) How to handle the technical stuff without creating anatomical impossibilities (basic physics still apply, even in romance novels) The editing process that will save you from publishing mortifying mistakes (because we've all written something that made us question our life choices) Advanced techniques that make readers actually care about your love scenes (hint: it's not about the explicit details) Written by someone who has made EVERY possible mistake (seriously, my early drafts could be used as evidence against romance as a genre), this guide combines practical advice with enough humor to make you forget you're learning to write about people being naked together. You'll get real examples of what NOT to do, why it doesn't work, and how to fix it. No more wondering why your intimate scenes feel awkward. No more characters who sound like they're reading from a very uncomfortable script. Perfect for:Romance authors who want to improve their craft Fiction writers tackling their first love scenes Anyone who has ever read their own intimate scene and died a little inside Writers who want readers to swoon instead of snort-laugh This isn't about writing explicit content for shock value. This is about creating authentic human connections that happen to involve physical intimacy. Your readers want to believe in love-help them do that without requiring them to suspend their knowledge of basic anatomy. Stop traumatizing your readers (and yourself) with scenes that belong in a medical textbook written by someone who learned about romance from poorly translated instruction manuals. Your characters deserve better than robot sex. Your readers deserve stories that make them believe in love. And you deserve to write intimate scenes without wanting to hide under a rock. Start writing love scenes that actually work! Warning: Contains frank discussions about fictional intimacy, examples of terrible writing (for educational purposes), and enough self-deprecating humor to make you feel better about your own early drafts. No actual robots were harmed in the making of this book.
