I'm not terribly fond of soapboxes.

When sex is necessary for the plot of a book, or a character development, then I don't shy away from it. Why should I?

If you fear nothing, then you are not brave. You are merely too foolish to be afraid.

But if anything will turn me off, it's a very practiced approach, as if the man has done it a thousand times before, to a lot of different women. Which always seems to imply that I am no different from all the rest. Not flattering.

I think like a detective.

Fear will keep you alive; indifference won't.
