My comfort zone is actually pretty confined as far as sex acts. Vanilla by most peoples standards. For BDSM I won't go beyond playful spanking. definitely nothing that causes pain, even if it might be appreciated by one of the characters. Tying up would never go past silk scarves or something the character could break free of.

Looking forward to the blog on Friday about condoms, Cari! <br /><br />I think in a lot of cases editors feel like there needs to be a distinction where "cum" is concerned. "Come" being the verb and "cum" being the noun. I generally use cum. <br /><br />Wept or seeped?
