Allude to what will follow but don't spell it out.

In my opinion, it is as legit a genre as anything else and should be considered just as literary. I think our society is sexually repressed and frowns on people expressing themselves through language in that way.<br /><br />Charlie: Your drawings are adorable. :)Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-15454097971291697362011-02-14T15:22:28.126-07:002011-02-14T15:22:28.126-07:00Following back crusader. ;) I've never written...Following back crusader. ;) I've never written a steamy love scene.
