I think my conflicts set up plenty of places to include tension, I just need to make sure I put it there where it belongs! :) Q - Thank you for the intellectual take on things. It's definitely nice when the rest of us are all "I go right for the crotch." LOL! JP - I think you’re right with the conflict too.

That's how you create sexual tension. It's a fine line between being pissed at each other, and rolling round on the floor. However, as much as I like to read all that, nothing makes my "abscess" (Ha! Terri!) clam up tighter than being mad. But in romance..... Another story altogether. Marnee, conflict makes tension. That and lots of hormones. Piss them off. That’s how you create sexual tension.

Many scientists dream of the Grand Unified Theory where the inanimate universe will be described by one theory, but my dreams belong to an even grander class. I would like to unify the scientific and the artistic perspectives of nature so that we fundamentally understand how we think and feel. Terri, please hang on to those illusions. I have a little true story: I vividly remember my first girl friend....what guy wouldnt. It wasn't love or anything, she was just good fun to be with. She could make me laugh, she admired my theories, she watched me play cricket, and I swear that I didn't spend all the time thinking about sex. Though Sin, Hellion, J K and Tiff are right in one sense. The arousal region did have a tendency to grow at the most inconvenient times. Sort of a life of its own so that I spent much time thinking how I might disguise it. My friend never embarrassed me by commenting but the wicked smile flitting across her lips told me that she knew all the time. Thats a tension that I haven't seen described in novels! I'm a six footer by the way....and you needn't try to disguise that grin Tiff! :lol: Marnee, thanks so much for your encouraging comment. :D

You are a superhero, Lis. I like the argument argument. Arguing is so emotional, it definitely gets everything stirring up. LOL! You are a superhero, Lis.

It is amazing what a look across the room can cause, or a brush of a fingertip. As Sin mentioned an argument or conflict can ramp up the heat as well. Another thing I use is description. I can quote written descriptions by Evanovich about Ranger. When the description comes from the heroine's POV, it can sound like mental foreplay. Sorry so late today, I'm saving the world one kidney stone at a time:) I create sexual tension with a look, a touch or a spark of anger.
