Mom, Don’t Listen

Marissa Martinelli is writing a real sex scene. Vanessa is READY. 
This week on Hot & Bothered, we explore the trope “Mistaken Identity.” As Marissa tries to write a good sex scene for her mistaken characters, she and Vanessa explore the vulnerability of explicit sexuality, and wrestle with the freedom and the oppression of coded sexual language.
Vanessa turns to writer, romance-novel reader, and co-host of Thirst Aid Kit Nichole Perkins to understand what we talk about when we talk about throbbing members. 
We also get our next (steamy!) writing assignment from #1 New York Times best-selling author, Julia Quinn.
