Well, at least it’s different. That’s probably what the author was going for. I have to wonder though how many women long to be taken in the **** by a well-hung man while on horseback. It’s got to be a short list. LOL

Just tuning in to this discussion. Sex on a horse? I think not. Anyone trying even some type of vanilla sex would end up on the ground. If I hit that in a book, the author would probably go on my “never to be bought again” list.

That’s one thing I’ve noticed lately, a lot more implausible situations and writing done without any consideration of where body parts really are–like authors are trying to cram in variety but even their minds aren’t really “in the scene”. I finished a book last night where the hero and heroine are having missionary position sex, and one minute he’s kissing her lips, then the next he’s got his tongue on her clit at the same time he’s still pounding in and out of her. Meet Gumby the Contortionist. It basically turns the sex scene into something boring to read. I finished the book and took it immediately to my “used book store trade-in box”.

Amy – a diving board? Now that’s a location I hadn’t considered before.

Fedora – exactly. I like to have a dose of reality in my stories.

LOL!!! Shelley, now we all want to know which book to avoid ;) I agree with all of you because while I love hot stories, I also can’t stand those that really stretch the bounds of reality to the point where I’m laughing my head off. And I know that it’s fiction, but I prefer fiction where it might at least be credible for superhuman gorgeous heroes and heroines OR where it’s clearly set in a time/place where I can toss my usual standards of reality right out the window

Now this is interesting because I was actually talking about this at coffee this morning. Where if the sex scene is too long, overly descriptive, or chatty I end up skimming or skipping it. I find sex on a horse hard to believe unless it was at a SLOW walk personally, and still then not enjoyable. The weird one for me was on a diving board. Those things have a very rough texture and what happens when you fall off?

Anal sex on a horse? Ewwww…I shudder to think of it!

Alice – thanks for the award!!

Amy – If I were the horse I’d stumble on purpose…

Karen – I like a good sex scene too, but in this book I kept skimming. It was so chatty I lost the thread totally.

Lucinda – I don’t feel safe on a hammock for relaxation purposes. Standing up? Nope, don’t think so! I don’t think I’d have the right balance.

Cheryl – you’d like they’d pick the softer sand rather than a boulder, although I know that the desert is actually quite rocky. That’s a scientific observation I took without taking my clothes off BTW!

Nixy – a tree? Now that would be worse than a horse.

I always wonder how the horse feels about that. I’ve heard that the only impossible setting for a love scene is standing up in a hammock, but that may have been tried, too.
