I really do find beauty in the unusual and the many ways we are attracted to someone/something. <br /><br />One of the many things I admire about you is your honesty to write about uncomfortable truths in a way that keeps us wanting to read more.

When you write about reality it resonates with many. <br /><br />One of the things I often strive for in writing erotica is to represent reality of the body, eg. small Isabel Kerrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410373111361609148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19502635.post-10810152856411227472009-07-31T11:42:28.736-07:002009-07-31T11:42:28.736-07:00Gina Maria, oh, boy, isn't that so weird what ...Gina Maria, oh, boy, isn't that so weird what people say about your body. In retrospect, each and every comment someone made about me as too flat, too fat, not enough whatever, felt like a violation. Some serious lack of empathy in our world.<br /><br />And your answer to why write erotica is an excellent one.
