3 years, 2 months ago about How to Write a Romance Novel

How explicit should sex scenes be in a romance novel?

Tip for best answer: M$1.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Explicit enough to make you breathe a little heavier and wish YOU were the characters, but not so explicit that it's cheesy and reminds you of Evan Stone porn flick (which are funny, and hard to take seriously, but entertaining nonetheless :))

It really depends on the type of romance novel you are writing. Some are extremely graphic while others are not allowed.

I think it is important to remember that you are writing "love scenes" and not sex scenes.

Here are a couple great sources for writing these scenes for romance novels:
