Writing a Romance; What!? I have to write a love scene!?

Stephenie Meyer is one of my favorite Authors.  I learned in one of her interviews
that she wasn't comfortable writing a sex scene....(the details), neither was I, lol.

The only way that I can explain it, was that it almost seemed as though you would
be exposing your ideas/memories/experiences of any....intimate moment in your
memory bank, and putting them on paper for the world to see, lol.  It brings about
the images and/or feelings of exposing oneself naked; I can't explain it any better
than that....

Then, I stumbled upon some great advice from an experienced author.
"How To Write Sex Scenes: The 12-Step Program." By Steve Almond.
Omgoodness I found it extremely funny and informative.  A sort of guide.
This doesn't mean that I feel any more comfortable talking about it in public,
lol, but I can faithfully say that in a room with only my computer and my
story, it helped a great deal, in how to proceed with the love making details
for my characters.

I thought I would share the link, hoping to help any would be future writers
who found themselves in the same embarrassing predicament.  After all,
it's a part of life, when two people fall in love, they are bound to take it
to the next step...(hopefully when they are married, in case any of my nieces
are reading this), lol.
