Hi,
I am writing a fiction thriller I have several very strong women characters. However as a guy, when I write about sex encounters, I write like a guy. I need to know womens perspectives on what they would think about in mental comments in their minds about a guy they are working with as they consider a guy.
Part two, writing a sexually passionately scene I am going to be using each's thoughts going on in the couples heads as well as descriptors of the scene. emphasizing the mental
Not being women, I am asking for your thoughts. I want to write it so if a women picks up the book, she will like these parts instead of the usual thought of this guy does not have a clue about women. I want it to resonate with women If public comment on here is not your style a direct comment to me will not be put forward.
I need to be able to write in a womens voice to be authentic . I am not looking for quotes but what a women thinks as a man explores her and she explores him.
One of the women in the book is a Virologist and the other is a Police Detective. Both fields have traditional male cultures. The men they are reacting to are not in their departments and are simply co equal workers trying to solve disasters and related murders.
I can provide more detail about there profile if wanted thanks

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.If you want to write how a women feels, you need to write from an emotional perspective. All that writing about sex from a mans perspective is just boring and ever so repetitive. Doesn't leave anything to anticipation or excitement. It is the mystery of it all that is the crux of the matter, not telling or saying word for word what is happening.

so more through indirect connotation, less explicit. So if a women saw a man that was sexually apealing she would think to herself well he looks interestesting r something like that?
@scout123456 Definitely no explicity. Sick and tired of all that sex stuff. I and most other women I know and quite a few men like the mystery of it all. When you see or read about it all in detail it takes away the fun, desire and mystery. A closed door is more interesting than an opened one.
Basically, "no, more to the left......."

Thank you for your response. However, are your responding to sassygirl comment or is your comment direct to me? If to me I am not understanding--. a bread crumb please?
You asked what I think during sex....that's it, pretty much
50 Shade of Grey did that with the first book. A second book from Mr. Grey's point of view was written after the fact. You might want to check those books out.
