9. Can anyone else read my laptop screen from here?

[resonant]

Things I'm thinking while reading sex scenes (in ascending order of frequency)

1. Not thinking at all. Laughing, crying, aroused, and elated. OMG. Wow.

2. Eee, this is just what they need! This puts back together the heart that the first part of the story broke. I'm so happy now!

3. This is really well done. Wish I'd thought of it.

4a. What, all that buildup for two paragraphs that don't even tell me what specific act they're doing?
4b. What, two paragraphs of buildup and the entire rest of the story is finger-by-finger detail of sex between two people who are already aware they're in love?

5. Wait, you don't mean to tell me he's going to reward that sort of behavior? Oh, lord, he is.

6. [skim skim skim]

7. Nope. [back arrow]

8. Hm. Other people's arms must be a lot longer than mine are.

TMI moment -- my husband is incredibly amused by my hobby, in no small part because I'll be tapping away, look up, grab him by the wrist and say, "take off your pants and move your arm here."

It's not like his hobby requires periodic enthusiastic sex.

Hee! (And hello, as I butt in.) I'm thinking that Pip might not mind my writing so much if it was interactive, lol!

Hi there!

Well, we have kind of a contractual obligation to look up and go, "oh, that's neat!" when he brings home stinky bits of leather and canvas or I bring home yarn.

But I'll admit he finds being a body model for positioning a lot more fun than holding the skein while I wind a ball of yarn.

I've never had the spouse practice sex scene blocking with me, but I've been known to take mental notes ...

With my hypermobility disorder, I often have to grab my wife and say "come here and try to recreate this pose i'm doing -- can a normal person bend that far?"

At which point she tries it, falls over/yelps/fails miserably/etc, and says "no, that's just you."
