He's Doing What?

Content Advisory: the below may contain graphic material of a sexual nature, adult situations, sexual reference, explicit sexual description, and depiction of alternative lifestyles. 

Darkness surrounds him. A shaft of the light from a high narrow window behind the man caresses his shoulders, allowing the viewer to not only see a well-defined chest but strong thighs, and maybe a bit more.  Dancing shadows reveal but then conceal something very interesting.  What exactly is he doing? Why is he doing it?  What thoughts or sights have driven him to such lengths?

These are not just questions posed in an author’s overactive imagination.  I’d like to think that any human that’s the least bit interested in sex would stop and ask themselves the same questions and have to admit that sometimes what is hidden can be sexier than what is left out for all to see.

While, it is true we as humans are visual creatures, sometimes less is more, and the mind can be very powerful. I was once told by an editor that the brain is the largest sexual organ in the human. If I could seduce a person’s brain, the rest would follow. Pretty wise words now that I think about it.   

Don’t believe me, try this: your lover calls, telling you she’s going to get ready for your date, and then proceeds to describe in detail what she’s going to wear.  She describes a lacy red bra, with matching panties.  She tells you she’s going to complete the ensemble with garters and lacy thigh highs with red stilettos. 

I can almost guarantee when she shows up dressed to the nines in a dress meant to knock your socks off, the first thing you’re probably going to be thinking of is her lingerie even though you can’t see it. 

As an author it’s our job to entertain the reader’s imagination. To make a story come to life in the reader’s head is the ultimate goal. We find inspiration in the darnedest places and aren’t shy about going to look for inspiration if it doesn’t come knocking.

 Below I’ve added a picture that a fellow author friend of mine found several nights ago on the web, when we were looking for said inspiration.  Even after looking though probably a dozen more pictures, we kept coming back to this one. It was that intriguing.  In fact, my friend has just started a story based on this picture. Her story is shaping up to be a BDSM vampire story.

The ideas that I got from it ranged from BDSM to voyeurism.  (Right now, I’m leaning heavily towards voyeurism…lol)  But I’ll let you decide.  Tell me what you think inspired him, or if that’s too scandalous for you, what kind of caption you think should be under the picture and I’ll give you a chance to win a $20 gift certificate to Amazon.  

After you get done salivating over the picture above, put your entry in comment box and make sure you’re a follower of Red Lipstick Journals (I’ll be checking!) and I’ll draw (with the help of Random.org) a random winner from all submissions on Monday, April 18^th at noon EDST.
