Firm, Boisterous Nuts

The June edition of Holiday Heat is coming this Saturday; pre-order your copy now!

This one’s been making the rounds on social media the past couple of months:

He sighed, his medium-sized balls bobbing in his jeans like buoys in a sea of denim, rising and falling with his breath. They were not the firm, boisterous nuts of a young man. he lamented this as much as the years lost.

I get a chuckle every time I see this one pass by — usually on Instagram. It’s quite the great lampoon of bad writing about breasts, which I try my best to avoid when writing about them. When I write about breasts, I try to see them from the character’s point of view — so, for example, if a dude is thinking about a girl’s boobs, he’s thinking “holy shit, she’s letting me see/touch/fuck/come on her boobs!” and not about how boobily they breast. When it’s from a woman’s POV, I try not to focus on size or shape so much as how she feels about them. Some of my characters are proud of their breasts and think more about them during sex than others might do.

What I really don’t want is for a reader to quote Zoidberg here:

Zoidberg meme: "Your sex scenes are bad and you should feel bad."

Even when writing under my real name, I try to make the sex scenes somewhat realistic vis-a-vis what the characters are thinking at the time.
