Loves that fact that I'm doing what I have always dreamed of and enjoy. <br /><br />His opinion matters more than any. <br /><br />Thx for the visit and comment. ;)S.Lirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17787307019842983456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033378840776537267.post-3446706128117231662011-02-03T13:57:01.725-06:002011-02-03T13:57:01.725-06:00LOL Nikola.

I am very proud to be an erotica writer but most importantly, an M/M erotica writer. not ashamed either...<br /><br />Thanks for commenting and visiting!S.Lirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17787307019842983456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033378840776537267.post-64462148008229724532011-02-03T11:12:10.942-06:002011-02-03T11:12:10.942-06:00I love this post.

My better half doesn't care, his support is one hundred percent, and the kid is too small.<br /><br />Theirs are the only opinions that really matter to me. I announce what I write loud and proud, erotic romance, no hesitation.<br /><br />My dad and I are estranged and my mother is no longer alive but I think she would've been proud of me. She turned me onto those stories after all :) My siblings can't really understand how I love books so much, but they could care less about what genre I write. They're only too proud to boast about thier author-sibling.Avril Ashtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11845455425867378953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033378840776537267.post-15104521007138627732011-02-03T10:00:15.433-06:002011-02-03T10:00:15.433-06:00Fabulous post!

It turns out that m/m authors, although they are straight women, have to "come out" as well. :)Nikolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11306130544726821173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033378840776537267.post-50898005690707330682011-02-03T09:19:34.141-06:002011-02-03T09:19:34.141-06:00Oh it definitely is Desmond and thank you.
IDK, ...Oh it definitely is Desmond and thank you. <br /><br />IDK, I would just feel weird discussing my turn-ons with my brother. I don;t really feel the need to be accepted. I know that my family would love me no matter what but it kinda icks me to have those discussions with him as it would my mom.<br /><br />kind of, talking to Ma about sex. It would make me uncomfortable. I can do it with everyone else just not with Mom or Brother. ;D<br /><br />Thank you for the response!S.Lirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17787307019842983456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033378840776537267.post-81009534442453912142011-02-03T07:19:19.302-06:002011-02-03T07:19:19.302-06:00An interesting take on the subject. While my 86-ye...An interesting take on the subject. While my 86-year-old mother is my best supporter (and her octogenarian 'girls' as she calls them), my wife has yet to read any of my five books, but she says she is going to.<br /><br />However, I noticed in your posting an interesting item. While you covered same sex relationships as being taboo in some quarters and you, personally, see it in the same way as hetero, you did have a problem discussing "your perversions with your brother."<br /><br />Do you think that would be verbal incest (incest being another of the taboos)? Does it resonate with you that your reluctance to discuss this with your brother may be a reverse of wanting to be accepted by your family for what you write? <br /><br />Now, I don't necessarily mean discussing all the ins and outs (yes, pen intended), but why is it you can't discuss what turns you on with your family? What would happen if you did? Do you think they would disown you?<br /><br />By the way, this is not meant as an attack, but is food for thought for all of us, erotic writers included.Desmond Haashttp://romanceradio.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033378840776537267.post-90362009885559920972011-02-03T03:15:41.547-06:002011-02-03T03:15:41.547-06:00Thanks Blak!

And I'll tell you this...I don't think it would matter what I write, they all give their (hushed) support because they're embarrassed and that's about it. The only people who cheer and openly brag are my daughter and my husband. That's why we as erotic authors have to support each other. Nice post!
