I think I understand what you're saying, and I think I agree. There's a lot here to think about, and it's not something I've considered from quite that angle, but it *feels* right. Especially with the line between erotic and sex - a lot of what I find erotic isn't sex. I think I'll still cling to my line between what I write and who I am, though. Some of those things I do, to get to the point I want or the story I feel needs to be told, just aren't me. There's some of me in there, yeah, but there's probably at least as much that isn't. Or, something.

Thank you for taking the time to post this. I'm going to be re-reading and thinking about it for days.
