Our mission here at the "CC & JT Amateur Hour" is to "help writers write," and part of our madness is to publicly examine our creative motivations. In this episode, we dive into why we write and don't write about graphic sex.

This is not then general, ten-thousand-foot view that we've done in previous episodes. We talk about our motivations, challenges, and prejudices about our characters having sex in our books. We go deep and, as always, CC and I learn something new about each other, even after 40+ years of intimate monogamy.

We ask our fellows writers to chime in on the subject: how far do your character go, and why or why not do you go there? Add your comments below.
