Dom I'm glad you shared that story, I was laughing for a while after your Aunt broke the glass... what kind of Meds is she on? I think I know someone who might be on the same ones.

By the way she should buy a new glass for your mom that was really rude.

I also guess that means I'm back in the hot seat for giving you... 'performance anxiety.'

Don't worry dude, this too shall pass.

Fear not, Dom. You are not a writer of 'friction stories' so don't worry about whether readers 'close the deal' in your love scenes. If that is what the reader is looking for...they're in the wrong place. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy those as much as the next guy, but that is not what your stories are about. You describe relationships, people coping w/issues, and the 'sex' scenes are really about lovemaking. So, keep doing what you're doing and forget that performance anxiety.

As for the aunt....I would drop her from the invite list (or stock up on Solo cups!).

pax,

I'm glad you're feeling better. Don't worry too much about the performance anxiety. I know people who tell me they don't regard a sex scene as any good unless they get off writing it.

Bardeara strikes again

And to think, all this controversy started over my little avvy. Hmm, makes me wonder if I should start a thread asking for peoples opinions on it, and whether I should change it

What that woman did was violent and completely out of bounds. That child is at risk for abuse.

That or she is a stubborn b****.

The question is: what else does this stubborn b**** have no inhibitions about breaking to win an argument with a 5 year old? Or *who* else?

whether I should change it

Please don't.

oh my god, that's the funniest thing i heard today.
