Shannon, thank you so much ...Oh, that is raunchy. <br /><br />Shannon, thank you so much for stopping by and thank you for the comments! <br /><br />Jess, I agree. I'd like to see a little more. Maybe I'll work on that myself. :)Thanks for the compliment on my scene.

As YA authors we do have to be true to the experiences teens have and a very important body of experiences revolves around sex. <br /><br />Jessica hit it on the head when she mentioned the hormones driving so much of teen motivation. And LJ, you're right about the fact many times one doesn't have to write sex in order to show sexual tension. <br /><br />In Cleverly Inked's defense, "raunchy" is definitely defined differently by different people and different cultures. At one of the places I taught, students were *ahem* "experimenting" in the restrooms. To me that's raunchy, but to them it was evidently part of their teen experience.<br /><br />LJ, nice scene between Drystan and your MC. :-)<br /><br />~ShannonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872049901404248069.post-90039467524102651812010-02-26T12:31:35.684-05:002010-02-26T12:31:35.684-05:00Great post btw!Great post btw!Jess (The Cozy Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09952470536106390326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872049901404248069.post-2581198005157778482010-02-26T12:31:19.380-05:002010-02-26T12:31:19.380-05:00Raunchy sex in YA is not ok.
And yes, I agree th...Raunchy sex in YA is not ok. <br /><br />And yes, I agree that sex is natural in a teens life. They either are having it, not having but always thinking about it. It's the hormones and they can not be over looked in YA books. It can be handled innocently with chaste kisses but handled well, hungier kisses that lead to sex are ok in YA.<br /><br />I wish some authors would be a bit more descriptive in YA sex though. I reallly can't stand the "and so they did it and now it's over" sex scenes. Kinda like the sex scene in the Twilight series. The aftermath of the sex was described and left the beforehand scenes up to the reader to imagine so that one was ok. But I wanted a bit more and usually do in YA. I don't need to hear about pulsing appendages and taunt nipples but some descriptions would be nice. I think it could be done tactfully.<br /><br />L.J. that kiss scene was HAWT! Beautifully done and the tension was tangible. If only I had a creative mind. I have the skill for words but not the skill for story. :( How sad.<br /><br />Keep up the good work.Jess (The Cozy Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09952470536106390326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872049901404248069.post-9123416900886323432010-02-25T10:41:26.541-05:002010-02-25T10:41:26.541-05:00Raunchy sex in YA?
