Behind the Peephole

When you stand before your front door and peer  through the peephole, you’re gazing out into the world full of a host of possibilities, an exciting place to be sure. Yet, as fascinating as it is to explore the world outside our doors, a whole other realm exists behind the peephole–the world of relationships. How couples react to each other has always fascinated me. Not just how they manage to pay their bills or where they like to vacation, but what turns them on. As it says above, the bedroom is our playground and our toy box is deep.

Behind the peephole lies a vast array of relationships. We don’t define them as our grandparents did years ago. We have broken the chains of tradition and have crossed over into the taboo. We have become a people who love to cross boundaries and push limits. Through my writing, I want to explore those boundaries and see how certain people react to certain situations. Just as people are fun to explore, so are the relationships they find themselves in. Whether straight, gay, or lesbian, whether monogamous or polyamorous, at the core they are all just relationships, some more complicated than others perhaps, but relationships just the same. Here at Behind the Peephole, we’ll examine them all.

Behind the Peephole isn’t just about sex, however. It’s about relationships where sex is a factor. To me that’s the difference between erotica and porn. Erotica has an actual story with people who have to deal with real issues and face solid consequences. I want to explore those consequences.

On top of sharing and discussing my own writing, I also want other authors of erotica to have a chance to showcase their own writing. Let’s face it, we could all use a helping hand when it comes to promoting our work. We need to help each other and I’m willing to help you here. Just drop me a line and we’ll go from there.

Many of you may recognize me from The Mess That Is Me and may be wondering why I need another blog. If you’re familiar with The Mess then you know that it’s about family, friendship and my twisted view of the things I see around me. It was feared that some who enjoyed reading at The Mess would be uncomfortable with the topics I want to delve into and might not appreciate the erotic novels. So, it was decided I needed a split personality, which some say fits with me being a Gemini, and thus, Behind the Peephole was born. The cute, funny stories you read at The Mess will not be here. Here we’ll look at relationships and what transpires in the bedroom–or out of it, as some cases may be. We do like our adventures, right?

So, join me every Monday as we look into the world of the erotic and see where the ride takes us. I know I’m looking forward to it.
