HE SAID, SHE SAID is a monthly feature created and hosted by Rachel @ Confessions of a Book Geek and Joey @ thoughts and afterthoughts where formality is thrown out the window in no-holds-barred discussions on all things bookish.


So far, Rachel and I have explored sex in fiction through: [Part I: Let’s Get It On: Sex In NA/Adult Fiction] and [Part II: Birds and the Bees: Sex in YA Fiction], and now with the recent release of the much-anticipated 50 Shades of Grey, it’s finally time to tackle the third and final sexy post: erotic fiction.

HE SAID, SHE SAID is a brand-new monthly feature created and hosted by Rachel @ Confessions of a Book Geek and Joey @ Thoughts and Afterthoughts where formality is thrown out the window in no-holds-barred discussions on all things bookish.


Welcome to our first ever He Said/She Said discussion! Following on from last month’s #sexmeup readathon, we’ve cranked up the heat as we get down and dirty with a three-part discussion on Sex in Fiction. So dim the lights, turn up that Marvin Gaye, and join us as we take you into the steamy world of NA/Adult Fiction.

…and I hope you drop a comment in regards to the prompts at the end of this discussion! Sex can be the elephant in the room, but it doesn’t have to be, and so I hope we’re able to open up some channels of dialogue to just have a good chat–positive, negative, in-between–share your thoughts!
