Flavors of Men and Sex

You all know how much I love flavors of men. There’s nothing quite like the differences in taste. Vanilla. Chocolate. Mocha. They’re all purr-fect to me and I write about the entire rainbow and then some. Sometimes at the same time. We all have those dark desires, the kinds of needs that draw us into a wicked tryst or a moment of doing nothing but giving a basic stranger a blowjob. You know exactly what I mean ladies. Some of us can let go and others can’t but we all want to read about a wild time – in or out of bed. Men and sex – flavors. Hmmm….

What do I fantasize about at night? Flavors. I love all flavors of men. Well, in truth I simply love men in general. I can’t help myself. I end up writing a lot or interracial romances but they don’t simply include black or mocha men but American Indians as well. I also like to place intercultural romances into my books. For us American girls it’s all about the sexy accent. And it’s all about setting the tone and the scene. You know the term you can’t judge a book by its cover? That’s where hopefully you’re wrong. While E-books have people downloading to kindles and nooks and onto our home computers, do you honestly not think that people do purchase for the cover alone? Some select for what catches their eye first and then the blurb or those two hundred words meant to grab your attention as a reader. Covers can only give you a piece of the puzzle though. Publishers tend to try and display what’s inside – whether you do have an interracial romance or a BDSM encounter. Unfortunately you can’t hear the character. When I pen a piece, I do take into consideration aspects of all sense from taste to sounds and how I want them included.

How do flavors come into play? For one thing I write about all colors and cultures of men and women. As a woman I think we appreciate every color of eyes, hair and skin. There is nothing as beautiful to me as a sun kissed God with golden hair or a chocolate-coated hunk with long legs and midnight eyes. As much as my characters matter and getting them right, every aspect of the scene is just as important. You have to find the right setting or the story will not be believable. Do you think that any reader is going to believe a passionate scene in frigid raging waters? Not this girl nor would I suggest you try it for real. But if our lovers found a hidden cover behind a waterfall in the Caribbean Sea, that you wouldn’t mind reading about and enjoying, would you? You can see our lovers making love in the gentle waves.

As a reader, aren’t you drawn into a book where you can almost smell the stale smoke filled dimly lit room and hear the sultry jazz singer as she reminds you of days gone by with her sultry rendition of Unforgettable? Wouldn’t you be more drawn to the singer is she’s wearing a sexy crimson dress, hugging every curve God gave her, her long blond hair flowing down to the small of her back versus if she were standing in overalls and pigtails? That might be a little bit of a stretch but I plan out every character from what they wear to how they sound and what they drink. I make sure my dangerous men drive something that would fit him like a big 4 x 4 truck or a Harley and my ladies have to fit what they’re doing including the careers they’ve chosen to the friends they keep around them.

The same goes for selecting a location in my books. The Internet is a wonderful tool allowing us to virtually visit so many places but I think there are some limitations. I don’t know the heart of Germany very well so like I won’t place my characters there unless I plan on doing a lot of research. Don’t get me wrong I do copious amounts of research for some books. Taming Paradise (set in the islands) is a book that not only did I learn a little bit more about Hedonistic societies but I had a personal teacher from New Zealand that taught me beautiful passages of the Maori language. While rarely spoken any longer it is highly revered and I personally think gorgeous. Let’s take a little taste:

Morena – good morning

Kei te pehea koe  – how are you

Kei te pai – I am fine

Ataahua – beautiful

Karihika – sexy

Kikino – naughty

Takamori – caress

The words roll off your mouth in such a sensuous way that I think of carved men with sun kissed skin and sultry eyes. I honored my friend and was able to use many phrases in Taming Paradise. The passages fit the book because of her past and what the future might be and to find out more you’ll have to ready my naughty piece. For me I love finding secluded locations on Caribbean island like waterfalls and back roads leading to authentic cultural restaurants. I love tasting the food not prepared for tourists and enjoying a glass of water as the water laps at my feet. Islands mean romance and passion and when you combine the beauty of the terrain and the culture of the people, the set up for a book couldn’t be any better.

Think about the flavors of kink. I have experienced a spanking or two – mmmm… But I don’t life a Domestic Discipline lifestyle. But I can so imagine the flavor os a man giving me his total direction, his firm hand. You know that kind of guy – he’s quiet on the outside yet inside he’s all tiger. What about the flavor of a Dom? Christian Grey from 50 Shades sadly is an interesting example. We all hunger for a man who can be a bit different to taste given what he hungers for. Or perhaps what you hunger for. We all want to lick him. Don’t we?

My friend always talks about the Oreo cookie and I have to tell you – I so wouldn’t mind being the vanilla cream in the middle. The thought is simply too tasty to pass up.

The next time you read your favorite author, really take a look at the passages that you probably take for granted. You’ll be surprised how they weave into their piece so subtly sometimes that they draw you into that scene with doing little more than describing what she’s wearing or the taste of the food just prepared and hot it smells. The best authors do it with passion and flair.

Enjoy your summer and take a trip to the islands – even if it’s in the pages of a sultry romance.

Kisses and Spanks
