The intrepid Ms. Jones recently asked if romance writers are normal? At least in regards to thinking about and writing sex. She concluded "no", we are not normal. I have to concur. I think. It's normal for me and it seems to be normal for my romance writing colleagues. But I have to admit, I don't hear or see my other friends and family discussing ways and places to have sex or even 3/4 of the weird things we writers talk about. Someone on my publisher's loop recently sent a joke email about sex riddles. It's pretty raunchy but hey, raunchy is what we sometimes do. Note, I said "sometimes", not always. We like to have fun plus being an erotic romance writer, we have to put thought into new ways and new positions and new places to have sex or else our books would get pretty boring. Do you really want to read about couples having missionary sex and NOTHING else? I read the sex riddles to one of my older children (I have young ADULT children, so don't tar and feather me yet) and she was like "ew" who sent you that? Then I only sent it to my hubby - until now. What the hell. If you're at this blog you have to know that occasionally we get into sex talk and jokes. It's what we erotic romance writers sometimes do. We've also been known to discuss odd facts and theories about vampires such as what type of dental floss they use. Inquiring minds want to know. I have to say, I'd be bored silly with all "normal" conversations. Even if I'm having a normal conversation with somebody, you can bet my minds flying off on a million different weird tangents to do with one or more of my books. I told you, if I ever became a super hero, I'd be "ADHD Woman". Some of these aren't great and some are groaners, but a couple are pretty funny. Enjoy! SEX Riddles * > ** > ** > *1.

And oh hell, who wants to be the common perception of normal?
Funny! Thanks for the laughs!
Sometimes wonder if my characters will eventually screw while hanging from the light fixtures. HA.
Yep, I'm definitely a romance writer. I thought they were funny.
