I subscribe to Sean's theory that sex between the same two people is a changeable thing, often quite different from one session to another. The moods of the participants (which may or may not be even remotely similar at the time they're having sex), the setting, the time of day, the tempurature - all those things have a lot to do with it, for me.
Sometimes I prefer a f*ck, as Silvercat so delicately put it, to a long, drawn-out romp. I want the pleasure, the release, without investing a whole lot of time in romancing my way to it.
Other times I'm feeling the way I felt in those first magic months and the whole thing becomes a seduction starting with lingering smiles across the dinner table (even if it's just mac and cheese), and then the candles come out, the scented oil, and time ceases to matter while we express our affections in that most elemental of ways.
But what if you're in the mood for a f*ck and your partner wants to make love? Well, then we discuss it, and the one of us who is feeling the most determined talks the other around to their point of view.
Hmmmm, and here I thought we were talking about terminology in writing, said Duncan the perpetually innocent romantic who only ever ever ever writes about making love....
lalalalala.....
