I love what you said!

My husband knows what I write about and refuses to read any of it, although he helped me design my first few covers before I started doing them myself.

I've told my close friends and they've read my stuff and are very supportive. My sister and niece know and my niece is supportive. My sister's religious, so she's not thrilled with the subject matter, lol. Meh.

I have to read your stories now. ;)

~M~

So why is it that husbands won't read what we write? I have my theories but I am not sure I am on the right track with it.

My family have no idea and I started writing erotica at sixteen. My mother is a prude though and has quite literally chased men away from me when I got older and first started clubbing. She would be absolutely shocked if she knew what I wrote about. My husband knows about my writing and has read a few pages though. He's told a couple of friends but he hasn't shown anyone what I've written though.

I started a little later than you, unless you count steamy notes to my boyfriends, but I am in the same boat as you. Although my husband has not read anything I have written or told any of his friends. I think part of him wants to tell people and part of him knows it would cause problems. What a shame though, right? We are doing something that many people can't, write about what turns us on, and instead of people appreciating it, we have to be worried how we'll be treated. It doesn't really matter to me either way because I do it for the joy it brings me. I hope that all the writers feel the same.
