Love And Lust

Way back in college, in between studying everything from microeconomics to microorganisms, I still managed to squeeze in a romance here and there.

Then one day I picked up Fear Of Flying by Erica Jong.

Ohmigod. Finished it in one sitting, I think. Her character’s “zipless f*ck” philosophy was both tantalizing and scary to a twenty-year-old.

But the truth is that fantasy rarely lives up to reality, does it?

For me, it’s still about love, not lust. That’s why I write romance instead of erotica. And, believe me, getting two characters into bed is a whole lot easier than getting them to fall in love.

Sorta like life.
