The
Four Elements of S-E-X-Y
By
Leanore Elliott
There are different
forms of what we think may be sexy or may feel sexy. I admit here, right up
front that I'm preoccupied with sex or what may be sexy, lol––because that's
all I that read and write about: Hot, sexy tales. As a reader, I want the sexy
scenes to make me squirm and hold my breath.
I feel that a bit of strain between the
characters that simmers for a while, sets up for the sexy part. The man has to
be strong but not too ego driven. Next, the girl has to be independent and
strong willed.
When I write, I also
like putting these powerful people into difficult situations, where they have
to––have it out. There can be yelling, struggling and even have a little
physical fight. BUT…they have end up at each other's mercy. (wink-wink)
There are four elements
I must see in a story for it to be interesting enough for me to even write, let
alone read. I think of this as being engineered with the same formula that is
essential to all life on earth.
The Earth Element: Conflict, strain and
adversity. Sometimes a bad guy, a curse, situation or a force will fill this
element. Surprise or the unexpected can also play here.
The
Water Element: A flow of feelings beneath the words, like a river of
rippling emotions and the love scenes must involve some form of H20.(wink)
The
Air Element: A cosmic twist of something surreal, like the character is
not really human; he or she is molded by or from beyond the norm. Maybe, they
are both thrown into a surreal situation and that would be the paranormal
twist.
The Fire Element: Is the chemistry
between the characters and even with the sub characters. This actually parlays
with all the other elements. But you'd better be careful while using this, as I've
actually burned up keyboards with this particular element. (giggle)
Out of the 14 novels
that I have written: I have a favorite erotic-paranormal scene and whenever I read
it? I know it's 'Way Sexy' and involves all the elements.
(Beasts of Forever)
To help the woman he loves, our hero has had
his memory wiped. Our willful girl sets out to win him back by slipping into
his new life. Only in this new life, he doesn't remember her at all and he also
doesn't want her around. Yet, he feels inexplicably drawn to her and this makes
him angry. Circumstances force him to accept her in the situation. She's almost
smug and secretly happy about this. He plots to scare her away, and then he gets
carried away, while our girl never See's what's coming.

"The man has to be strong but not too ego driven. Next, the girl has to be independent and strong willed." I completely agree, this can make for some very fun to read chemistry. :)
