Your excuse is better then mine. I've come to the conclusion that I think too much to write sex. Also, spending the last seven years working with small children, my vocabulary has taken a turn for the childish. Instead of "abdomen" or "stomach", I'll use "tummy". Or, instead of "Firm, round buttocks" or "ass", I'll use - I kid you not, this has happened before - 'porkchops' or 'backside'. And then I started giggling insanely and gave up on the smut writing business.

Also, I've never been a big fan of romance novels. I think I've read two my entire life, and that was because Mom had one or two on the bookshelf as I was growing up and I had already read everything else of interest to me on it.
