• Hot and Steamy by Berengaria Brown

    Huge numbers of erotic romance books have a sex scene in the shower. Likely all that steamy heat, scented with yummy shower jells and even yummier naked men, is why such scenes are very popular. Besides vertical sex is just plain hotter than horizontal sex.

    Hot tub sex is quite common. Again, near naked or totally naked bodies, plus steamy heat is just crying out for a sex scene.

    But what about sex in the ocean or river? Likely if people are swimming it’s a hot day, and there is once again the whole nearly naked aspect bound to crank up the sexual tension. But now we have a logistical problem. Even if it is a private beach with no people around, how do the characters know there isn’t someone out on a boat, or back on the shore, with binoculars—or worse still a camera with a telephoto lens—watching them? Or does the thrill of discovery just make it naughtier and more exciting?

    And then there is the problem of friction. Successful orgasms generally require friction, especially for the man, and water prevents friction. Which means pretty much anything below the waterline isn’t going to happen. So we need knee-deep water and the couple standing up. Which brings us back to the onlooker and his camera.

    Or we could forget all about physics, sit our characters down in the water, and let our imaginations run wild!

    Quite a few of my books have sex scenes at the beach. I’ve made use of sand dunes, rocks, caves, night time and even a sand bar in the ocean. Hey, whatever helps, right?

    Besides again, it’s the idea of heat.

    I’ve used that hat in the weather too. Far more of my books are set in summer, than winter. Something about long hot days just calls out to me for matching times of long hot loving.

    Hot weather is very much part of the story in “Turning Up the Heat”.


    Tilly lost her job thanks to the Global Financial Crisis. Running out of money, she agrees to move in with Noah and Sylvester as a kind of housekeeper, for free board and lodging. Also free sex. It’s a mighty hot summer, but what happens in their air-conditioned bedroom is way hotter than the temperatures outside. Together the three explore the boundaries of ménage sex.
    But Tilly still has no job, no money, and worries what will happen to her once the men get tired of playing house.

    And there’s a very hot hot tub scene in “Burning for You”.

    “Burning For You” blurb.
    Blair, Alex, and Kurt meet in the stairwell of their office building during a fire drill. They go to Kurt’s condo to soak their aching muscles in hot tub. The building may not be burning, but they are, for each other. After a wild night of sex, Kurt, Alex and Blair want to spend all their free time together. Alex hates his job, and wants to leave. The three want to move in together. So many decisions to make. And what was the point behind the fire drill anyway?
