When a tennis match is unplayable, it is the perfect moment to think. Sometimes when plans go sideways or are simply delayed, create the best times to ponder. Rather than burning energy being frustrated by an uncontrollable force like Mother Nature, all that time can be put to better use. Read a book. Write in a gratitude journal. Or write.
The rating of quantity and specificity of sex in books is sometimes referred to as spice, heat, steam, sensuality, or smut level. There are all different levels for all different tastes.
But, what do the terms really mean? What words are actually used in a book?
I decided to take a scientific approach to look at how different words are used at various sex levels. I used chapGPT to write 50 words about a first kiss at different intensities of heat. Note, the program refuses to write erotica.
Here’s what I found for all the different steps involved in a simple first kiss.
It starts with a look, then light touching, bodies touching, grabbing, and then hands roaming.
Read the situation…does the heart flutter to flames of desire, to full-blown body shivers.
The kiss can go from a peck to dueling tongues.
A description of the kiss pretty much matches the heat level, from a sweet kiss to a spicy kiss.
The reaction to a kiss ranges from a shy smile to gasping for air.
Does a kiss lead to something else? The promise of a lasting relationship or a long night of sex?
Become worldly by reading and opening your mind to cultures and perspectives other than your own.
Loving two men, she risks devastating three hearts…unless she commits to both.
Book Blurb
Ian refuses to allow an explosive night of passion to derail his desire to make partner at the law firm. But, her tempting presence in the office, along with her alluring scent, mocks his resolve.
JD’s the hot art teacher with the body and stamina of a former professional hockey player. He’s a creative master, in and out of the bedroom, who captures the affection of the brilliant young attorney, but he second guesses if he’s enough for her.
Sasha won’t settle for less in her career or love life. It’s all or nothing. After a twist of fate and a proclamation of love, Sasha escapes choosing between Ian and JD. The alternative is far more arousing.
Book Excerpt
Ian started talking. Of course, he initiated control of the conversation just like he dominated legal negotiations. “We understand that you aren’t inclined to choose either one of us. We aren’t pressing you to do that now.” The tenderness in Ian’s voice and the concern in JD’s eyes alarmed her.
Sasha’s chin began to quiver as a feeling of doom swept through her. Tears welled up in her eyes. “Are you both here for closure’s sake?”
“Fuck no!” JD swore, clasping her hand more securely. “I have no desire to end things with you.”
A tear slid down her cheek. Sasha started biting her lip. Did JD think she was going to choose him over Ian? Her head started to spin. Nausea brewed in her belly.
Ian leaned in closer. “Neither of us wants to end things with you. Well, I suppose our case is a little different.” Ian extended an open hand. Her free hand itched to reach out and accept Ian’s offer. Uncertainty made her hesitate.
“I’m totally confused.” Sasha looked back and forth between the two. Neither of their faces gave her a clue. What were they suggesting?
