I hope you enjoy my Top Ten Lists, and take them for what they are worth”¦mainly entertainment. But like the old saying goes, sometimes there is nothing funnier than the truth.
I am often asked how I came up with the idea for telling both sides of the same erotic story. I think it really ties in with the lists I wrote out. The reality is that when it comes to having sex, most of the time I have no idea what I do right and what I do wrong in the “preliminaries” to end up there. Actually, I shouldn’t say no idea, but I certainly have come to terms with the fact that most of the time I have no idea what women are thinking. So to rectify this, I started asking questions.
When I would write a story, and then “translate it” into the women’s point of view, I would show it to the woman who was involved in that encounter. I had the luxury of having good relationships with these women and was able to gain a lot of insight into the female mind. I did things “right” more often than I thought, and also gave myself credit where I was way off base, too. Yes, ladies”¦go ahead and laugh. But I learned a lot about the process as a whole. I used to think getting someone there was always a little like a hostage negotiation, but I have learned that sex is something women want just as much.
Now I can freely jump back and forth between perspectives, and even write stories in the women’s point of view first. I sit around and laugh when listening to my male friends reciting stories from the bars on Friday night; things they said or did that I just laugh at knowing it didn’t have the affect they were hoping for. It is highly entertaining. And I can also sit with a group of women and hold my own in your conversations about the same thing. I am eerily in touch with my feminine side, and toe the line on Metrosexual at times a little more than I am comfortable with
So what this really means is that it is still amazing to me that men and women get together at all; the agendas are so different, and the criteria vastly different. Thank God for alcohol. Hope you enjoy my book, and the unique perspective I try to bring by showing both sides of the stories. Half of them are real and half are made up”¦can you tell which is which???

15 years agoDarren – You never cease to amuse and entertain! The ‘research’ you put into your book must have been far more enjoyable than, say, what a historical novelist has to do…. Kudos to you for uncovering the secrets of the gender perspective!
Much continued success with your book!

15 years agoLOL! I have to say I love your blog…Although you forgot one…or maybe it is only me that thinks this….Oh God, did he have to stop now! I was so close…Which given number 6 and number 9 is pretty similar but put together and it is just plain aggravating! LOL. And from a woman married to a man close to his…err…metrosexual side, I will say nicely done. My husband has a tendency to relate to women as well, maybe not within the capacity you do but enough that I found your blog funny, entertaining and yes quite true.
