12 Days of Sexy Times-Day 9: Cristal Ryder

Thanks Gina for inviting me to participate in your blog! As a newly published erotica author, with my first release in November 2010, i enjoyed this topic and could have gone on and on about it, but I didn’t want to take up too much room! It’s obviously a topic near and dear to my heart.

Kisses? Sex? What do they convey? Love, passion, death, affection, brutal, friendship.

I love kissing and some of the most erotic moments in my life was in a kiss!  Do you remember your first kiss? I do. I was 13 and surprised when the peck on the lips happened. The short duration of the kiss, paled to how long I trembled and shook afterwards. All from a simple kiss. I remember his name, but what are the chances he remembers me?

"Women still remember the first kiss after men have forgotten the last." - Remy de Gourmont

Think of your favourite screen kiss. Even they have changed over the years. The close mouthed but meant to look hot and sexy kisses from the early screen days, to the now passionate, more realistic let’s eat each other kisses (without the eww factor of course). And then there is the kiss of death found in the Godfather. So many meanings conveyed in a kiss.

The kiss is the beginning and leads the charge to sex. It starts that ball rolling and sometimes I find the kiss much more erotic to watch than the sex scene itself. One of my favourites is Sarah Connor and Kyle Reese in Terminator (yes Terminator). I think it had to do with the desperation, passion, sense of doom and the conversation prior.

"Kissing is like drinking salted water. You drink, and your thirst increases." - Chinese Proverb

When talking sex scenes, the bar scene in Pretty Woman stands out to me and I can still hear the piano keys when Edward places Vivian on the keyboard as the camera pans away from them. Yup, you know what’s going on!

Just the other night I was pleasantly surprised by a sex scene in Pacific. Did anyone see it? Totally unexpected – I mean the scene amidst the horror of war. You knew it was coming and yet it held you captivated. And another scene a few weeks ago had the same intensity, but that one disappointed me afterward as the couple has become nonexistent in the show. What happened to them? Both scenes were unexpected and very nice, and both sent the butterflies aloft. Well done.

"Her lips on his could tell him better than all her stumbling words." - Margaret Mitchell

Now, the movie that made me feel the most for a character is the Bridges of Madison County. I lived every second with Francesca. I felt her pain, her pleasure, her desperation. I held on to the handle of the truck door with her and encouraged her to run to Robert. Did she make the right choice in the end? I cried and my kids were worried something was desperately wrong. They asked me and I said ‘it’s just so sad!” Of course, they didn’t understand at all.

For me, the excitement comes from the circumstances. What is going on in the scene, how are the characters relating, what brings them together and what do you think their outcome is going to be?

How about you? What’s your favourite?

Mmwah!
