Physical Intimacy Level

Intimacy Level explained

Swearing

  • Mild

Trigger Warnings

I do have the character make innuendos. There is a time he discusses or she notices he’s aroused but they stop because she’s waiting until marriage and gets flustered. There’s talk about her past and why she hasn’t been intimate with anyone since she was young. I don’t know if that level is 2 or 3, so I’m guessing 3 because of the arousal? But no shirt off

Level 2

  • Touch that signals attraction
  • No touching in underwear zone

  • Deeper kisses, tongue implied not described
  • Feel warm/flushed
  • Gasping, deep sighs, light growls and groans

  • 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.
