I hope I posted this is in the right place....
The Literary Review gives out an award for the worst sex scene in a literary novel. Least anyone think that sex is easy to write....
The winner for 2015 was Morrissey. The competitors were: Before, During, After by Richard Bausch, Book of Numbers by Joshua Cohen, Against Nature by Tomas Espedal, Fates and Furies by Lauren Groff, The Making of Zombie Wars by Aleksandar Hemon, Fear of Dying by Erica Jong, List of the Lost by Morrissey, and The Martini Shot by George Pelecanos. I know at least two of those names! This was the scene that swayed the judges:
At this, Eliza and Ezra rolled together into the one giggling snowball of full-figured copulation, screaming and shouting as they playfully bit and pulled at each other in a dangerous and clamorous rollercoaster coil of sexually violent rotation with Eliza’s breasts barrel-rolled across Ezra’s howling mouth and the pained frenzy of his bulbous salutation extenuating his excitement as it whacked and smacked its way into every muscle of Eliza’s body except for the otherwise central zone. ~List of the Lost
Sounds painful....

Sometimes I hear people talk about how writing sex is easy. Beg to differ. Cheers for you if you write hot sex!
