Any other men want to tell us what they think.
I failed to note that one of my preferences in a story - romance based - is to have the romance up front and the details coming later. That is, the motivation of the characters is what draws me into a tale. However, if the details aren't there after the motivation and characters are established, I do not find much thrill in a story. This is how I attempt to write, as well. I offer more details and less motivation as the story progresses. Belaboring the motivations and the romance by instilling it into every scene is not particularly enjoyable for me, nor is it realistic. Sometimes we make love and sometimes we fuck.

Incidentally, it might be nice to hear what you all think of *my latest offering to the BDSM Library. It is an effort with *Aussiegirl to create a true romance based story that integrates BDSM. It made the list today, the 10th of July and is submitted under her name.
