And, if you are an exceptional writer, you need not have been there to make it real.
Last night (after watching an episode of AMC's "Mad Men," my only TV must-see this summer) I read a delicious collection of short stories by one of my favorite authors: Intercourse by Robert Olen Butler. He is one of the few literary authors who writes wildly creative and sensual erotic scenes. If you haven't read any of his books, start with this slim volume in which the reader is privy to the intimate thoughts of couples having sex. Did you ever wonder what Adam and Eve were thinking when they did it? Or Charles and Diana? Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir? George and Laura, Bill and Hill? Butler has imagined it for us.
Speaking of intercourse, several readers of the entry, "Sometimes It Beats Breakfast", have asked for more direction on the open missionary position. Here goes:
The Open Missionary Position
(For Babes Who Want More Power)
In the classic missionary position, you are on your back, his body is between your legs, which may be wrapped around his waist or his neck. Or you may have your feet against his chest. (There are a number of variations on this and other classic positions in The Sex Bible For Women.)
In the open missionary, wrap one leg around his waist. The other leg is free so you can leverage the position--giving you greater impact on the depth and angle of penetration and the speed of thrusting. I like to start with leg bent at the knee, foot on the bed--and then move that leg to different positions as the mood changes. Favorites: Throw it over his shoulder or lying partially on my side, wrap it low beneath his buttock.
Keep one side of the missionary position open--and you change the dynamics.
Sometimes we want to be ravished; and sometimes we want more control.
