I'm writing. Nose to the WIP.
However--a questions, fair readers.
Do you ever read a shower sex scene and think: YOU PEOPLE ARE WASTING A PRECIOUS RESOURCE?
Is it just me? I'm writing this scene, and no matter how hard I try, I wind up turning the water off and moving these guys else where: the floor, the bed, the wall...somewhere else.
Am I the only one who is eco-conscious?

LOL - I just always find myself wondering - damn! They must have a huge water heater! I'd run out of hot water if I tried that!
Wow, I feel bad, I've never thought of that. Mostly I just always think about how easy it would be to slip and fall (and I'm not trying to be funny and use that as a legal term of art, I swear) and maybe even break something. Which is probably why I wrote that free read I put on my website, lol.
Yeah, it occurs to me. But if I were in the shower with him, I'd spend hours.
Just sayin'.
I don't think that so much as I think what a bad lubricant water is. :)
I'm with Dakota on this one. I always worry about them slipping. Often I'm thinking 'wow, these guys must have some really tough rubber mats underfoot or they'd never be able to get a good footing whilst doing this'.
I've never read so many 'sex in the shower' scenes before reading m/m. It's like there's this mandatory rule 'thou shalt include a shower scene in each and every m/m book'. Or something.
Dakota: That free read was hilarious!
Mmmmm....what? Sorry. I was watching the way the water streams over his shoulders and seems to gather at the nips, before spilling over in a thicker stream.
I missed the rest.
LOL, actually yes I do worry about the water waste, LB... I also worry about the water heater. But shower time is so fun!
Jen--Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
I feel kind of foolish now, actually, b/c I do kind of roll my eyes at the abundance of shower scenes and right after I left my first comment I realized that...I wrote one. A serious one, in my novella, Seeing You. But what happened could have only happened as it did, and logically that had to be in the shower. Or at least, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. *g*
So I actually wrote a version of this love scene where the one guy says--We're wasting water.
And I took it out.
Still, it's funny! I may put it back in. IDK.
It's all fun and games until someone slips on the soap, people.
Dakota Fling-neener neener. Mike Finnegan showers a lot in Cover Me--and no sex. Poor buddy.
Meljean--the nipple shower is quite eye catching, I know.
OMG I meant Dakota FLINT. Hhehehehehe.
In my story for Smart Ass 2, they get in the shower but know there's only going to be three minutes of hot water. And it's November. So...
What Lori said. My but we get distracted by the new and the shiny...

I'll answer eventually, when the brain actually engages

I've never really thought about it while reading, but I HAVE thought about it IRL. Heh. I've often been known to say, "After the shower, babe" which I'm sure is a total buzz kill, but c'mon! Such a waste....
Only you, eco sex-activist. I don't like shower scenes so much. I just put them in there to clean off afterward. I started but never finished one in Islands. Other than that, I'm all about the bath. But water does indeed make a lousy lubricant, so my characters take the action elsewhere, men and women alike.
I hope he's going to take those off to shower. Not much clean going on when you're wearing dirty shorts during the process. Sorry, that's the mom in me.
You heard Samantha! Take it off, buddy!
Eco geek?
I've thought of it, but not to the detriment of my enjoyment of said shower scene. heh. Although I do worry about slippage.
