Joy of Writing SexTuesday 25 June 2002
A train rushes into a tunnel as our heroine gasps with untold ecstasies and swoons back onto a silk pillow: Sex, but not as we know it. So how does one write a convincing, passionate sex scene?

Sheila talks to Elizabeth Bendedict, author The Joy of Writing Sex, a guide that aims to help us all write better sex scenes, and the booker-nominated author Michele Roberts, known for her sensuous and playful descriptions of passion.
The Joy of Writing Sex: A Guide For Fiction Writers, Elizabeth Benedict, Souvenir Press, ISBN: 0285636421
