Reading suggestions

[catherineldf]

For me and not from me, in this case.
I'll be offering a workshop at the Loft Literary Center (link as soon as the summer schedule goes live) on writing good sex scenes. As part of the class, I'm planning on reading a couple of very short sex scene excerpts from writers who do it well and perhaps one or two from writers who do NOT. I'd like to do a range of orientations and genres, and the scenes need not be particularly graphic. Sensual and sensuous will probably be better with the class makeup I'm likely to get. It also needs to be from things I can get my hands on fairly easily.
So given that, I'm looking for suggestions. Got any favorites? Got any scenes you love to hate? Share, share!

There's not a lot of erotic scenes I like which is why I write mine the way I do. I'd offer to share some of those with you but I get the feeling you're looking for a reader not a writers POV of sex scenes. :)

Yep, that would be true. :-)

There's this guy called Alan Titchmarsh, who is a celebrity author (i.e, really a tv gardener, but writes books too) who is KNOWN for his legendarily shitty het sex scenes. He's won the Bad Sex award multiple times.

Cool - I'll see if I track some down. Thanks!
