In 2016, I published an ebook about writing sex scenes, titled I GIVE YOU MY BODY. (Click on the title/link to visit my webpage for this ebook.)

Thanks!

I found your site today and find it very helpful! I’m working on my first novel.
Where did you learn to describe the sex scenes like that?
I love your books!
Best regards, Silja

I have read all your books in the Outlander series and love Claire and Jamie’s love story so much. I take inspiration in my own writing from you and am so happy that I have found your blog. It is brilliant and I can’t wait to involve my characters with each other using the senses as you describe. I live in Australia and am impatiently waiting for release of the next Outlander series on Netflix here. I might have to binge watch it and then rewatch just in case I missed something. My own books are based on my GGGgrandfather born 1766 and I have chosen to follow his life using creative non fiction as my genre. You are my inspiration. Thank you.

After seeing a part of your interview with Julie Kosin at the Random House Open House about “Crafting a Sentence” I found you here. I am both happy and unhappy: I do not have Kindle and cannot get and read your E-book about Writing Sex Scenes. I am happy to find a lot of information here.
Thank you very much.
Watching you while crafting the Sentence, fascinated me.
This must be magic…
Yours sincerely,
Nicole

I’ve been writing my own personal erotic stories for years just to satisfy my own desire to create different passionate exchanges between lovers – I was so pleased to read your brief “How To” as I agree with everything you say a good sex scene is – and isn’t. I also think this is exactly why I can “scarcely breathe” when I watch the sex scenes between Jaime and Claire in the series on Stars. I love that even though I don’t know you, I get you!

Some Others: I believe some of us of the male species are striving to connect to the female and male side of sensuality, emotions, carnal knowledge, passion, possession, intensity etc. Hopefully my writing hit’s the mark.

Sincerely,

Brad Jensen

I have the entire Outlander series on my shelves, and would not censor any students in the school from reading it. Kids tend to do a pretty good job of choosing what’s appropriate for them.
