Ever had difficulty making the sex scenes longer than the character descriptions?

Radio programs were once referred to as the 'Theater of the Mind'. Written stories are much the same in that excessive explanation can ruin the pacing and it quickly becomes boring. People prefer to 'fill in the blanks' in most cases; especially in regard to physical appearances and sex acts. Less is more.

Wow, I think they could use this observation over on the "Head Popping" thread.

By pimples. Not about pimples. This must be my "do your own research night." The thread is on this forum and has "head hopping POV" in the title. If you don't watch out, it will bite cha.

You know, you really can't speak for all people. I have received many emails and other feedback from readers telling me how much they like the detailed descriptions of sexual activity most of my stories include. Some think there should be even more.

I agree with what you say otherwise. there can be too much description of the physical characteristics of the characters.
