There you have it - the text portion of the wonderful session on Writing Erotica presented in SL voice by Diana Allendale. She did give us a notecard with some tips:

Writing Erotica

1) beliveable characters and characterizations
2) Plot, plot, plot!
3) emotions vs actions; you need the balance
4) make sure the positions are actually POSSIBLE!
5) vocabulary (no purple prose)
6) audience
