Are you impressed with a so-called “Chick Magnet Car?” I would love to hear your views on this.  I was listening to two young men in a coffee shop the other day, talking about the vehicles they wanted, cars that were guaranteed to get them laid.  I am not sure how typical I am as a woman, I like a nice car, I had a Mazda MX5 convertible for a while. So I get the style aspect of motors. I never thought of it as a way of attracting a partner. Men seem to think of it differently, I invite...

Women also write pretty bad sex scenes, but on the whole, men seem to be more consistently guilty of cringe-worthy prose. I once chatted with the editor of the Erotic Review,...

Just what are the top ten sexiest jobs?  I read an article the other day that just grabbed my interest.  Working in the publishing business the jobs of the male characters do feature strongly in the plot. The career certainly defines the character in the story. Certain careers can make men seem more attractive. Here are some of the sexiest jobs in my opinion and not in any particular order. Doctor This one comes up again and again in stories.  It is no coincidence that the popularity of shows like ER and Grey’s Anatomy do so well.  For me, I like the idea of...
