DANE, THE LORDS OF SATYR
Do you talk with your friends about sex? With your mom? Your sister? Anyone? Do they know about your first sexual experience? Your current sex life?
I don’t share many of these intimate details. I met my best friend in middle school and we’ve been best buds ever since. We know the circumstances of each other’s first sexual experience, but we’ve only recently opened up about it. (I was 18, he was my first love, my second boyfriend, my first heartbreak.)
But my bf and I don’t know the details of each other’s story. Probably never will. We don’t know any details about each other’s current sex lives. I don’t know the details of my sister’s or my mom’s. When it comes to family members, that info is definitely TMI for me.
Are other romance readers and romance authors the same when it comes to this issue? I wonder.
How about you? Do you keep this very private, semi-private, or do you dish with a close friend or family member?

Read an excerpt from Dane, The Lords of Satyr (May/June 2010 release)
http://www.elizabethamber.com/excerptDane.html
Synopsis: As he searches for his missing brother in 1880s Rome, the arrogant Lord Dane Satyr wrestles with his fiery inner demon, Dante. Dane has little patience for the ElseWorld Council’s insistence that he must take a human wife to safeguard his ancestral lands.
Eva, a beautiful social climber with a gift for matchmaking, is determined to throw her humble beginnings in the faces of an Italian society that once scorned her mother. She schemes to wed a human from among their ranks. But she is far from human herself. And above all else, she must ensure that no one–not Dane, his brothers, her best friend, or anyone–learns what she truly is.
When Dane and Eva first meet, they are consumed by intense needs they cannot satisfy alone. Can their scorching passion and growing love for one another overcome the dangers that keep them apart?
To me sex is a private subject.

Interesting that you are both like me. I was a huge fan of Sex and the City and loved the way they chatted so freely about their sex lives. It’s so different when it’s real and personal. I think part of the reason I don’t like to speak too freely is that I’d be talking about my partner as well and he might not appreciate that. I know I wouldn’t if the situation were reversed.
Thanks so much for stopping by the Aphrodisia blog!

by Elizabeth Amber · March 1st, 2010 at 10:37 pmHoly hot cover! Wow, wiping the drool off my chin. : )
I’m pretty open about sex in general, and speak frankly about if asked, but I don’t give details about my personal sex life. It’s private.
by lynne Roberts · March 1st, 2010 at 10:47 pmHi Lynne,
So you’re a little more open than I am, Lynne, but it’s interesting that you still keep your personal sex life private as I do.
Handing you a napkin for the drool!
I agree. Kensington creates great covers.

by Elizabeth Amber · March 2nd, 2010 at 6:49 amHow funny…I’m the old broad in the bunch, but I’m really pretty open. Maybe that’s why it’s so easy for me to write really graphic sex scenes–when I was in college in the late sixties, we were in the midst of the sexual revolution. I always said I was young at the perfect time–before AIDS and Herpes and after birth control. It was a time of experimentation and open sexuality. I came from a very traditional background, but learned a lot more than the English classics during college! If our children had questions, I was the one to answer them, and I’ve never had a problem discussing sexual issues, though I’ll admit it’s sometimes easier with a group of writers sitting at a bar at a conference than in the living room of my own home with family!
Elizabeth, I am REALLY looking forward to this book! I need my Lords of Satyr fix!
by Kate Douglas · March 4th, 2010 at 5:07 amI keep it private.
I have some girls at work who talk to me about Their sex life, but we don’t talk about mine. I think they talk to me about theirs because I’m older than them by almost 20 years, yet I’m still young, and with that I write they feel more comfortable with me than their mom or sister.
And they are fully aware that what they tell me might end up in a book. LOL
