Why are they talking about male authors writing sex? Oh, yes, because they are the literary giants. Women write much better sex scenes than men. I like writing sex scenes but gave up the graphic descriptions. I'm now with you, Jennifer. Write poetic illusion for sex scenes and let the reader fill in the rest for herself.
