HOW TO WRITE STEAMY SCENES

We’ve all experienced it—books with scenes so sensuous they practically melt the pages.

Sitting down to pen a love scene is no more convoluted than writing an action scene. Or is it? What if you are writing for young adults or Christians?

Here’s how to create tamed love scenes and still entertain your readers:

 

1.      Decide what you are comfortable writing.

2.      Make dialogue realistic and avoid being syrupy to replace the actual act.

3.      Create tension by the missteps of your characters.

4.      Start out with sexual desire.

5.      Find alternative ways to describe the act of love-making.
