Six Sentence Sunday - Stacy's Dad Has Got It Going On (Shower Sex Edition)

I get an uncanny number of visitors on the blog who arrive here searching for free shower sex stories, so this week's Six Sentence Sunday is devoted entirely to those lovers of sex in the shower.
Stacy's Dad Has Got It Going On is still selling like crazy (who knew?) and there happens to be a shower sex scene in it, after Savannah twists her ankle and Eric carries her home. It's a little on the awkward side, since she can only stand on one foot and he just about put his back out hauling her up a hill, but it's shower sex nonetheless. Just givin' the people what they want. LOL
So, here we go! Six Shower Sex Sentences from Stacy's Dad Has Got It Going On:

There was more wetness built up between Savannah's legs than there was water tumbling from the showerhead—at least that's how it seemed when she eased her hips forward to invite Eric inside.

The big plastic toy in Savannah's sock drawer could fill her up, sure, but it never made her feel like this! Eric's cock was hot, firm, and moving like a demon inside of her. A feeling of intense sexual connection soared through her body. It made her feel even warmer than the shower water, or the steam filling the bathroom. The sensation was centralized in her pussy, but she could feel him everywhere.

"Why should the guys have all the fun?"

Here's a post and a host and contest for you who love lesbian erotica and romance as much as I do. Today we've got Lara Zielinsky introducing a lesbian line at Torquere Press, new this year, called Sapphic Signs. I didn't hear about this line until after the fact, so I don't have a story in it, but I love love love good lesbian romance so I wanted to share the existence of Sapphic Signs with you. Every week I'll be posting the blurb and excerpt from a different story, so stay tuned!
And now, after that "brief" introduction, I'll turn it over to Lara:

Torquere Press runs a number of themed lines annually, and the results are a nice series of stories featuring the gay guys, issuing one per month for the steady enjoyment of readers.

I thought, but why should the guys have all the fun? I had been previously published by Torquere Press in a toybox. I only write F/F so I kept looking through their calls for submissions for more F/F opportunities. The guys had color boxes, birthstones, and themed calls for more toyboxes. The birthstones idea intrigued me, but I thought we grrls should be a bit different: the zodiac.

Sapphic Signs!

In 2010 I approached the editors at Torquere with my idea. They loved it, but I had to get 12 committed authors. There could be no cancellations, no last minute pull outs. So I went to my favorite F/F author hangout, Sapphic Planet, and let them know my crazy idea. And I got the 12 commitments.

Sapphic Signs was born! Since January 2011 Torquere Press has released 8 of the novellas. Each story stands alone themed around one of the zodiac signs.

We've got contemporary love fests and historical romances. There's shapeshifters and space drama, and more. We've got first time writers making wonderful debuts and fan favorites making steamy contributions.

And the grrls are having all the fun!
So if you are into sapphic adventures with lots of romance, check out Sapphic Signs at Torquere Press all this year.

Thoughts on the Man with the Chest

My goodness, disembodied torso, what a fabulous chest you have! I see that you're paired with a gorgeous woman on this cover. I guess that means you're straight. I'm also going to assume, based on the fact that you have no head, that you are driven entirely by your animal nature. If there were a wolf on this cover, I'd be convinced. But even without the wolf, I'm sure you're a man's man with your feelings buried deep inside, where only this woman, who is so much like me we could paste my picture over her face, can find them. Men like you are my secret desire.

…actually…they're not. Not MINE, which puts me in the minority around the romance community. But that's okay, I'll just sit in my corner with my head against the wall, scribbling away about queers like me. (As a queer woman, I am allowed to say that. Don't call in the referee just yet.) I'm a loner anyway. And maybe someday someone will discover one of my stories curled up in a bottle and find they actually like it. Maybe. Some day.

Okay, I'm being a little melodramatic here. All I really intended to write about (in a totally non-melodramatic way) was that the stuff readers love, devour, guiltlessly consume, is exactly the stuff I don't write. So, the bestsellers, the money-makers, the man-with-the-chest books… they're not mine. That's not what I write. It would really help pay the rent if I did…but I don't.

I actually have a story to accompany this confession. It's kind of a nice story. About a month ago, I was approached by a publisher I work with often and love, love, love. They wrote to tell me the love is mutual, so much so that they wanted to commission some novellas from me for a new erotic romance line they're looking to introduce.

Wow! That was a huge compliment. I felt all warm and fuzzy until I read the submissions guidelines for the line: hetero only, no gay content, no BDSM. Must feature a "strong Alpha Male hero" and "feisty" but loveable heroine.

So, I'm sure the majority of romance writers would crack their knuckles, lick their lips, and pound one out on the keyboard (a story, of course), but all I could do was stare at those words, "strong Alpha Male" and…okay, I admit it, I cringed a little bit. I did. Strong Alpha Males have got to be my biggest turn-off in the history of everything. Maybe it's a "lesbian thing," but I don't think that's it, not entirely. I suspect there are women out there who identify as straight and would agree with this appraisal. The grunting, salivating, dominating and domineering "man with the chest" is…yucky. Yes, I realize he is the fantasy of the many, but he is sooooo not mine.

And please don't get me started on how much I hate hearing a woman described as "feisty"—my feminist Spidey Sense finds "feisty" an infantilizing word, in that it minimizes women who speak out against patriarchal oppressions of all kinds, including unwanted male attention…but I said I wasn't going to start, didn't I? So I won't.

Anyway, I went back and forth a lot on this one. It was an honour to be asked to produce work for a new line. The publishers knew they were taking a chance, setting foot outside their normal terrain, and they asked me to come with them. I never want to end up in anybody's bad books, and I feel like turning down work is just…not a good idea generally. But I knew in my gut what they were asking for was not consistent with the work I produce. It didn't appeal to me, and I really didn't feel I could make a story work if neither my heart nor my hips were invested in the project.

But I said to myself, "You're a writer—you should be able to produce any kind of story you're asked to." And maybe I could…but just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. (The KFC double down is an excellent example—you can probably afford to buy yourself bacon sandwiched between two deep-fried pieces of chicken, but does that mean it's a good idea?)

In the end, I wrote my publisher back and politely declined the commission. It means a lot to me that I can devote my time to writing queer fiction, fiction that appeals to me and that represents who I am in this world. A lot of readers love the man with the chest, but a lot of writers write him. In fact, I'm sure the number of books of this type currently on the market far exceeds the demand for them.

And let me clarify: I don't have anything against people who write the man with the chest, or people who read him. It's just not to my taste, just like my transgender stories, or my lesbian stories, or my bisexual or otherwise queer stories, or my adultery stories, or my hipster stories, or my stories that are erotic without any romantic component at all…aren't to everybody's taste. That's cool.

Before I hop away, I should also mention that I often hear writers stating, with the voice of absolute authority, that ALL women love the man with the chest. Some say that it's a "natural" component of a woman's existence to love the Strong Alpha Male, and…kids, that's not cool. It places me, my taste, and my sexuality under erasure, and I have no desire to be erased.

If I'm writing about guys, they're probably going to be shy or nerdy or guilt-ridden or, or, or... There are exceptions, I'm sure, and I don't write any of this to be unpopular, but the Man with the Chest? He's not for me. Which is okay, because if you like him...more chests for you! :-)

Hugs,

Giselle

Watch the Book Trailer for Stacy's Dad Has Got It Going On

This is just some silly fun. Since the title of my book 'Stacy's Dad Has Got It Going On' is obviously based on the song 'Stacy's Mom (has got it going on)' I figured I'd head to the music video for inspiration. I'd actually never seen it before I looked it up on YouTube, and it was such a funny little 80's throwback that I decided to go that route for the book trailer too.
Here it is, the book trailer for STACY'S DAD HAS GOT IT GOING ON:

Quick Six PRO with Daisy Dunn (Part 1)

Quick Six PROInterview with Daisy Dunn
Q: What's hot on the market these days?

Daisy Dunn: I think paranormal and fantasy erotic romance seems to be hot. This is a good thing because I not only read those genres, but write them as well.

Q: What's the most time-consuming part of a writer's life?

Daisy Dunn: It's a toss up between editing a manuscript and promoting it. Writing the novel is the easy part :)

Q: On the topic of ebook piracy, hunter or head in the sand?
Daisy Dunn: I think it's shameful. All the work that goes in to creating and publishing a story, only to have it ripped off is wrong on so many levels...I would say I'm a hunter!!

Q: What should a writer's priority be?

Daisy Dunn: Write the best story you can!

Q: How do you handle a bad review?

Daisy Dunn: I haven't had a review yet, so I'm not exactly how I would react. I think I would probably lock myself in a room and cry for an hour, then dust myself off, and shrug it away. That's best case scenario. Worst case scenario would involve a whole carton of peanutbutter chocolate ice cream. :)
Q: What advice do you give aspiring authors?

Daisy Dunn: Don't give up on your dream of writing, EVER!!!
More to come next week from Daisy Dunn, Author of:
The Portal
Cole Evans has been in love with Gianna Thomas from the first
moment he laid eyes on her when he was a student at the University.
He pursued her relentlessly, but Gianna would not date him because
of their ten year age difference. She broke his heart when she pushed
him away for good, afraid to be known as a Cougar.

Five years later, Cole is now twenty-nine years old and is ready to fight
for Gianna. Before he does, he takes one more trip through the portal
he created into the alternate universe he has stumbled across. He has
been chosen as a guard for the ruling queen of this world and is
shocked when he sees that one of the prisoners is Gianna. He needs
to get her out of this place, away from the hungry gaze of the queen
and into his arms once and for all.

Six Sentence Sunday - Audrey & Lawrence

An affair is always easy in the beginning. There's plenty of steamy sex and getting-to-know-you. Everything is for now. Immediate gratification. No thought of the future.



That's how it starts for Audrey and Lawrence. Audrey's only concern is helping an unhappy man trapped in a sexless marriage revive the virility of his youth. That approach doesn't last long. As her affection builds, she wants more than she can have, and more than Lawrence is willing to give.

My "Audrey and Lawrence" stories are a based around the 10 years of life I spent as mistress to a married man. (Ah, the follies of youth!) I always wonder if that confession will make me unpopular, or if it will build a sense of affinity among others who have been involved in adulterous relationships...

Here are my Six from Audrey & Lawrence:

Reaching out, Lawrence held my cheek and his touch was the touch of God. It rang through my body like cathedral bells, alerting my cunt it was time for worship. He squinted and the teardrops fell like lava against my chest as he leaned his head toward mine.



Without a word, Lawrence laid a passionate kiss on my mouth. My eager tongue groped for his. It was hot, wet, forceful but yielding.

More Sweet's Secrets to Eating Pussy

A lot of readers arrive here at Donuts & Desires after searching the term "secrets to eating pussy" so obviously this is a popular topic. These Googlers need answers, people, so let's give them what they're looking for!

A while back, I posted my girl's cunilingus advice (Why? Because she's really really really really good at it) and, because that post on eating pussy was so popular, I went back to Sweet and asked her for yet more advice.

Now, to start us off, the original "Sweet's Secret to Eating Pussy" (in her words):

its never about specific actions .. its about being aware of reactions and building on things that are working in the moment .. each time one makes love, feelings, attitude, pressures and general outlooks will make different actions more stimulating so to say do A or B or C is not the way to go .. explore.. work gently and build on what you feel in reaction from your partner during that particular time

take your time .. go slowly and feel how they react .. when you feel a reaction then remember the spot and use it .. be gentle .. take it slowly and remember you dont have to start with the pussy .. work up to it so they build the anticipation .. then wanting it they will accept a touch and mentally amplify it for you .. and when you hit THE spot its ever more

Thank you my Sweetheart! And now...here it comes...MORE of Sweet's Secrets to Eating Pussy:

just remember its all about YOUR giving .. and should never be about getting anything .. if you can concentrate on giving everything then you will be rewarded by your partners reactions and those reactions will turn you on ... make you wet ..push you to give more

After reading this, I said, okay, sure, but I think my readers are going to want advice on what to do physically. What should they DO? Her response (and I do feel i should mention that she actually does not how to capitalize sentences and use apostrophes, etc, but these are all lazy girlfriend-to-girlfriend MSN conversations):

there is no better advice than take your time and explore .. be gentle and touch .. vary the movement and the "attack" .. tip of your tongue or broad sweep .. both work but at the right time ... still its about giving .. and finding those places on your partner that are sensitive ... and those places may and often do change from session to session

treat each time as the first time ... remember she is your "virgin" and you are the trusted love of her life .. respect the moment ... take your time ... and truly give of yourself

Awwww...that nearly made me cry, Sweet!

What do you think? Do the Googlers need more...more...MORE secrets to eating pussy? If you think so and you're feeling generous, please do leave yours in the comments, be they messy, sloppy, licky, sucky, clean or down and dirty. The Googlers will thank you!

So, readers, what's your secret to eating pussy? Sweet's advice is rather abstract . Want to get more specific? More explicit? More slot A tab B? Go for it! Comment away!

FREE READ: Transgender Romance

I usually have at least a couple free stories available at Every Night Erotica each month, and I don't usually put up a blog post to announce the fact, but this story is so special I felt the need to shout it from the rooftops.

Of all the trans lesbian erotic romance stories I've written, this one titled simply 'Transgender Romance' has got to be the most earnest, closest to the bone, and closest to the truth of my real life love story with Sweet. In fact, the only detail I can think of off-hand that isn't true is that I called Sweet's character Danielle in this story and...well, that's not really her name. Aside from that, if anybody's ever wanted right inside our relationship...

And I'm not sure if that's an exhilarating or an off-putting confession--confessing that my confession is in fact a true confession, I mean. Do readers want to be made aware that, yes, these things really happened? This is my life. Or is it nicer to be able to tell oneself this is pure fiction? Is the distance appreciated?

I don't know. Maybe I'm digging too deep into things, here. Maybe I should just give you the link. Yes, that's a good idea. You can read Transgender Romance for free at Every Night Erotica, here:

Tomorrow's Chip Wrapping? Unfortunately not…

In the good old days when fried fish came in newspaper, instead of sweaty polystyrene boxes and the net was something you put over your curlers at night, there was always the famous comfort that any embarrassments in the news would only be so much wrapping for your chips the next day. Not any more!

Now articles appear online as well as in newsprint and the indiscretion you shared with that nice journalist after he'd bought you the sixth gin can stay there pretty much indefinitely.

As Valerie Dwyer warned me darkly, "Experts say that whatever gets on to the internet will remain there forever, even if it's hidden, so be careful what legacy you leave!"

I can't really be worrying about my legacy but I am a little more careful these days to give a bit of thought to what's churning round the web while I'm still alive.

It was back in 2005 that I answered an internet interview question by saying, "If streaking down Oxford Street would result in a million sales I'd seriously consider it." All these years on, I still get offers to take my kit off (it would be art, I was assured by the photographer who wanted me to pose naked on Margate beach) and I continue to be asked if it remains true (answer: yes, probably, although God help the tourists).

So it is probably wise to give yourself plenty of time to answer questions sent to you by email rather than just dashing off the first thing that occurs to you, which, as I know to my cost, might seem very droll at 10 p.m. after half a bottle of Pinot Grigio but not quite so side-splitting when you're faced with it on your screen a week later and it gets thrown up every time you're googled.

The same goes for what you say in interviews by phone or in person that might end up online. If you're not sure how to answer something, say so, and ask to come back to it at the end or promise to email your answer later that day.

Although all of this depends on how much you care about your dafter statements coming back to haunt you (I don't mind about Oxford Street at all) and whether you believe in: NO SUCH THING AS BAD PUBLICITY?

Your Readers Are Uneducated Morons

So...have I ever mentioned I'm alumna of the same college as Margaret Atwood? We weren't there at the same time, of course, (she's considerably younger than I) but it's still pretty much my only claim to fame.

When I was a kid, the one item that consistently appeared on my Christmas list was "a university education." Hahaha, yes, better than a pony, etc, but my mother would take one look at that and say, "It's all well and good to want a higher education, but I'll not be paying for it." And, true to her word, she didn't. And that probably comes across as bitter, but looking back I'm actually very happy to have been spurred to work hard and pay my own way. I think I probably value and respect my degree more than a lot of people whose parents paid their way.

(By the way, that bit about Margaret Atwood being younger than me was a joke. I'm actually not in my seventies. Thought I should probably clear that up.)

Why am I thinking of education? Well, an industry (un)professional recently "reminded" me that readers of erotica are "uneducated" so I should stay away from big words they're unlikely to understand. I was kind of like… 'scuse me? Should I even start deconstructing that statement? Because, seriously, we'll be here all night. Suffice to say…well, two things:

Education is not a barometer for intelligence. One of the most well-read people I know is my grandmother, who quit school at age 16, when she got knocked up and married her handsome soldier. Even now, well into her 80's and with seriously impaired vision, she reads voraciously and can carry on an intellectually stimulating conversation on any topic. Seriously--we've discussed everything from indie rock to opera set design to Iranian politics, and she always knows far more than I do about everything. Reading gets you everywhere, kids. It does. The proletariat does not have a monopoly on sexual desire. I actually took a course (don't laugh) called Sex and Sexuality in the Premodern West, and one of the many ideas I took away from it was that we've always sort of "assigned" sex, as one of our "base" instincts, to those "base" people in society. Sex is like anger or sorrow, or any intense emotion: it belongs with the stupid and the poor, people of the lower classes who don't know any better. To me, the concept that only the unwashed masses enjoy and explore sex and all its trappings is really insulting and just...inaccurate.

I'm educated and I write sex for a living. Why? Because I choose to do so. I've worked in other industries, in business and the arts, and I far prefer writing erotica. I've always said I write more for myself than anyone else, so I assume the readers who will most enjoy my work are readers who are somewhat like me.

Actually, I've had other authors disclose to me that they've had industry (un)professionals tell them exactly what I was told: that readers of erotica aren't very smart, aren't very educated, don't know a lot of words. Whatever you're writing, you should dumb it down for them. Don't want to confuse their little peanut brains. Well, here is my educated response: fuck that! Insulting readers by establishing this strange Us vs Them of "We the Educated Creators" and "They the Stupid Consumers" is not going to fly with me. I'm not going to look down on readers. In fact, I'm bowing low and offering the work up, praying to the gods of erotica that they will enjoy what I've created for them.



Like I said, we could be here all night if I let myself go on. So I'll stop now. But, who knows? You might have something to add.
