  1. It is many years since I have had actual sex with another human even though my libido remains high. The reason is that I don’t find aging bodies (like mine) sexually attractive. The corollary of this is that anyone I am attracted to is unlikely to feel the same way about me. Therefore I have remained celibate. But memory is very strong; the sex scenes in my novel Jessie are largely based on vivid recollections of sex I had long ago. Recalling them makes me horny, and the scenes become easy to write. I also get horny when I reread them. This is a technique that is open to anyone who has had sex. The hard part is finding the language with which to describe your experience.

    • Thanks for your comment, Lexie. I agree that the remembrance of sensation can be incredibly arousing, and thus provides a useful stepping point into writing erotic scenes. Likewise the arousal engendered by re-reading the erotic scenes from your work, “Jessie” is a means of sparking that sensual match!
      Thanks again for your comment. Jupiter x
