What is sexy?

I believe one of the reasons I enjoy Saturday Spanking Snippets so much is being able to read the many different styles of writing. I’ve wanted to write since I was a child. Unfortunately, there was a high school trauma – I made the mistake of writing a story that I truly cared about and was slapped down so severely by a teacher, there was no writing attempted from the age of sixteen until just before my fiftieth birthday.

At that time I just began writing down all the stories Cassie had told me over the years.  The encouragement I received through comment helped me greatly. Once I really began thinking of turning Cassie into a real book I gave some of my stories to my vanilla friend to get their reactions.  Since then knew my writing was something I was sharing with them in private, I’m sure they began reading it thinking it was some type of porn.

Most of my vanilla friends were of the same opinion – they liked Cassie (but very wrongly viewed her as somewhat of a wimp), they didn’t like Tom and they all thought it needed more graphic sex. There comments made me stop and think about what I was writing and whom I was writing for.

Of course, as writers we what to think everyone likes our work. For me I know I’m writing for those who appreciate a good spanking story. Cassie and Tom’s marriage is what a long term dd marriage should look like in my mind.  When I read a good spanking scene, it is sexy. I like a realistic reason for the spanking, a build up of tension, removing the clothing, choosing an implement, the anticipation, the actual spanking and the aftercare and reconnection all just ooze sex for me.

Cassie’s book seem sexy to me, but if the reader is looking for whose fingers are where and when, they won’t find it. As I said before, Cassie is telling this story herself and her description are usually more sensual than detailed oriented. I tried, in my choice for my Saturday Spanking snippet this week to show what I view as sexy in Cassie's stories.  My twenty year old daughter will be invited to read Cassie’s Space and I’ve promised to let my mom’s old friends (in their eighties) know when it comes out. I might not be as comfortable if Cassie was too descriptive in her sex scenes.

This is learning experience for me and anyone who has thoughts or opinions on this 'detail or not' question are more than welcomed to share your thoughts and expertise with me.
