Understanding Physical Intimacy Levels
Level 1
- Holding hands/Affectionate touching
- Compliments/confessing love
- Low-description kissing
- Tender embraces/cuddling
- Blushing and sighing
- Non-descriptive discussions of sex
- Established relationships
- Fade to black if married
- Any sexual encounters from past only referred to, not described or on-screen
Level 2
- Touch that signals attraction
- No touching in underwear zone
- Long kisses, lightly descriptive
- Deeper kisses, tongue implied not described
- Feel warm/flushed
- Gasping, deep sighs, light growls and groans
- Thinking/speaking about desire non-descriptive
- Fade to black for established relationships after a scene that matches this level – but may be unpopular if not married
Level 3
- Hands moving, still not in underwear zone
- French kiss with tongue described
- Make-out sessions still follow guidelines
- Feel hot, sweating
- Heavier gasping, groaning, deep growls, panting
- More frantic and lose some control
- Male shirt may come off, but nothing else
- Leg may straddle waist, but no mention of arousal
- If they lay down together anywhere, use little description of contact/moving
- May happen in a bedroom or on a bed, but should be interrupted or end with fade to black scene. Keep focus on the emotion.
- Fade to black should still happen between married couples or at the end of the book between engaged/committed couples.
